People will never admit that Trump did really well in this debate and are only talking about old age so they can say “well Trumps not good either.” Despite the fact that he was talking perfectly normally.

The reason Trump is running is the same reason he shouldn't be: he's extremely (un)popular with the masses. Like it or not, it's a popularity contest, and Trump's very persona is the type that gets people talking about him. You don't see that kind of popularity everywhere and all the time, so even if the Republicans have arguably less polarizing candidates with the same mentality, they're betting on two things: the polarizing popularity of Orange Man and the *unpopularity* of Sleepy Joe, which might win voters in the middle. Both sides, right and left, have their bases cemented, no matter who they put as candidates. It's the voters in the center that they have to grab.

Thats why people backed trump he has nobody in his pocket and if you look at the republican party now it sparked a populous movement that is making waves. Previously uniparty multipartisan bills are split 50/50ish on the republican side now. Changes locally are occuring too. Say what you want but trump sparked the change in the repulican party, republicans have wanted for years. Democrats almost had it in a way with Bernie but somehow he lost to Hillary in the primaries and then lost his spine and got back in line. Which is why the democratic party is despised by me ignoring policy just by how they function. Its all managed and the people have no say. Our current VP was dead last in the primaries. The people said no to her but the party said yes anyway. And the people clearly say no to Joe but yet here we are. They putting Joe up shows one or both of two things: either the leaders are somehow less competent than Joe or they care so little about the state of the country and citizenry that they will put him up anyway so long as they can serve their own personal interests & and don't care to actually put that up front for people to vote on showing just how much they know we all would oppose if they came right out and said it.
