What's the Rush, DNC?

There is something almost comical about the frantic effort to ensure the Democratic Party nominates Biden as soon as possible, after he’s turned in a catastrophically bad debate performance and spent much of the past two weeks flailing in interviews with George Stephanopoulos and Lester Holt. It is as sterling an example of rewarding failure as you’re going to find in this country.

The debate wasn’t just a “bad night.” There is no sharper, more energetic, clearer-speaking Joe Biden hiding behind the curtain waiting to emerge.

The Joe Biden who addressed the NAACP in Las Vegas on Tuesday is the same guy we saw on the debate stage.
