i'm not sure if Game of Thrones is better or worse.

Hopefully in a few years it'll be Dune.

Harris holds out the Gom Jabbar for Biden, Booker reveals himself to be a Face Dancer.

Buttigeig's mind is opened to the ancestral memories of a million progressives. Bernie cackles madly and flies around the stage in a suspensor suit.

Oh thanks Biden, were you asleep during the 2016 election when the party tried to make Trump’s unfitness for office the main point and lost?

Personally, I think Biden is much better equipped to make that case. Affected or not, his folksy Scrantonism lets him actually connect with swing state voters who went for Obama and then Trump. That track failed in 2016 because of the candidate, imo.

His folksy Scrantonism doesn't exist. Biden is a very uncharismatic speaker, and he's not very good at appearing empathetic

This stump speech draws a pretty stark line between their speaking styles

Or just watch from 30:00-35:00 for an example of what I mean.

"Swing voters" who went Obama-Trump are also irrelevant. There are far more people who voted in 2008 and 2012 who either stayed home or were blocked from voting in 2016 than there were who switched from Obama to Trump.

Per this article more Obama voters went Trump than didn't vote.

While she is definitely the entertainment of the debate group, she has to go away before I start having nightmares of her debating Trump.

He would do that "lurk behind her as she answers" thing he tried with Hillary and promptly get maced.
