Has Democratic panic started after Biden v Trump debate?

According to the pollsters, it's the rematch voters don't want. But if Americans were hoping for reassurance from the first televised debate of the 2024 election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, they didn't get it.
A stumbling and often incoherent Joe Biden and an evasive Donald Trump discussed which of them was the worst President in history, and who had the best golf handicap. Senior Democrats have rallied round Mr Biden, but in private some are now asking a question many voters have been asking for months: is he up to the job?

@@johnmartin7158 I won't say its impossible. There are other people that the Centrists that pushed him/Hillary down our throats wouldn't mind seeing in the white-house. They are going to wait and see: If Trump's jailing really hurts him. If this is all over-blown by 'pearl clutchers', and the polls don't move. If Biden can demonstrate that this WAS just a cold (I doubt it honestly). Realistically it would require him choosing to step down. Again, not impossible, but given his wife's attitude out there, I doubt the people around him are going to do anything but cheer him on... as he fails and falls.

The moment when Jill Biden praised him for answering all his questions like a teacher would to a struggling student, is telling.

[@GOLEMUK]

Extremely astute comment and very well spotted. Make no mistake, Jill is treating Joe exactly like most spouses whose partners are in the grip of a devastating illness like Alzheimers. If Joe really is fine then why on earth would Jill be treating him like this?? Nor is it done out of mere condescending pity. It is quite simply the only way to get through to those you love by approaching them like a child and constantly using praise & rewards to reinforce perceived 'good' behaviour. Here's a section from a medical study which is illuminating // "Spousal caregivers negotiate their shifting relationships across the course of Alzheimer’s. While regarding adults as childlike can be perceived as dehumanizing infantilization, for families living with Alzheimer’s disease, conceiving of one’s spouse as like a child can actually enable processes of continued care, sustained recognition, and love to uphold personhood in the midst of often radical change." // Tell me that isn't what we just saw Jill doing? So I cannot fathom how either Jill or those close to & around Joe can possibly still be maintaining the fiction that everything is still fine and this is simply the increasing onset of very mild so called 'senior moments'. That is not what Jill's behaviour indicates, never mind Joe's. It is inconceivable that this fiction could be maintained for four more years. So I strongly suspect that last night will ensure, one way or another, that something will finally be done to avoid that unthinkable eventuality coming to pass.

The Democrats want Biden in a retirement home, or dead. They don't want Biden at all. What the Democrats really want, is Koala Harris in charge. They want her in charge so that they can say that they have America's first female, coloured president ever. Trouble is, no one is dumb enough to vote for her, because she's useless, and everyone knows it. So, what do they do? Put Biden in power, knowing he could drop down dead any time soon, then the VP becomes President without ever having to fight an election, and whose the VP? Koala Harris. No one's dumb enough to vote for her, so the Democrats get her in as VP, when Biden dies in office, which they're obviously expecting, without her ever having to fight an election, which she would loose on her own merit.
