This was Goofy's opportunity to tell me how wrong I was and I would have to offer my mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.  Below is my review of my miserable prognostication.

This is not Trump v. Biden.  WRONG.  Tapper and Bash apparently just asked questions with reasonable followups.  The fix to get rid of him is in.

Lot of talk about whether cnnBS gave Biden the questions in advance. CORRECT.  Even one of cnnBS's commentators post-debate admitted as much.

The media is going to be 24/7 how Biden won the debate.  WRONG.  For the most part they trashed his performance.  This was a setup because they have known as long as we have that he is infirm.

The bar for Biden is set so low.  WRONG.  It was set very low but he actually significantly underperformed those very low expectations.

Biden will come out loaded for bear.  WRONG.  Either they decided not to drug him up (malicious or incompetence) or what they gave him did not work.  Anyone with a parent in the same situation could have told them it would not work.

If I were Trump I would let Biden talk as much as possible..won't be disciplined.   WRONG.  Trump was apparently on target for most of the night and the split screen and mic mute actually worked to his benefit.  Apparently Biden at times either could not fill his time or in the numerous clips was a rambling, incoherent mess.
