Escape hatch for biden. it was so ham-handed and over the top, it allows us the next day to be talking about how inappropriate the attack was, rather than this was another debate that raised more of those concerns, particularly as he went on. there are democratic voters who are uneasy about his ability to perform against president trump. there are also a lot of democratic voters uneasy about the positioning of warren and sanders and how that would play out in a general election. and last night k...
