Biden is 1000 percent in it for the WIN.

A little remark - Joe actually is absolutely coherent, the only thing I would say that needs to happen is - he needs to have a vocal rest and drink some honey-tea before interviews. IF he is saying all this more-clearly and more vocal strength - he will be the same Joe Biden from years ago. His cold/flu and traveling/debating/talking has made his voice really weak. Nearly 10 years ago I had laryngitis (in my case from screaming at a concert and talking non-stop for a long time) and for a long time I was speaking in a similar manner. It was very hard.

@I Am A Swede we'll pray together, friend, like you pray for the Dingles' demise on Emmerdale. 

@Maxim I thought Biden did good on the interview with Speedy Morman too. I think Joe just needs to slow down when speaking. He talks so fast at times that he stumbles over his words, which gives the media "gotcha" moments when we know that Joe has always been the King of Gaffes but knows what he is talking about. And I am just glad that I didn't sit and watch that interview with Lester Holt. Biden needs to stray from mainstream media at this point. I wouldn't give them any interviews in the future. Let your surrogates and MVP Kamala handle the big networks. I hate how the media keeps trying to peg this man as senile when he's far from it. Meanwhile...

Trump is so mentally decayed I am not sure. This was heavily pushed by Trump's son, who shares Vance's hatred of America as well as his lack of chin. In past years Trump might have had the instincts to see that an incredibly unattractive (I'm sorry, I'm going to say it), smarmy, dead-eyed, extremely uncharismatic figure who was dragged over the line in a Senate race built for him would not be the best choice. But Trump's backers, like Peter Thiel, have built Vance from the ground up and know there's a strong chance he will be President and do the decimating of this country that they so crave. 

The Beltway has already gushed over how well Vance will do in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. I have my doubts. Everything about Vance stinks of the type of man many of those people know would spit on their corpses. He wrote a book explicitly detailing how much he hates them and that any suffering they go through is their own fault. He trashed his own family for profit and clout.

Any votes Trump wins will be in spite of him. This is just naked agenda-making from the so called "nerdy new right" that those at Politico and Axios want to name their children after.

One thing I will credit scumbags and hatemongers like Matt Walsh for is they don't play the GOP games - they stick by their opinions. The Democrats who are wringing their hands or like Jared Golden saying maybe Trump winning won't be so bad should consider the same.

Amber Rose, a dubious grifter of the highest order, being put on national TV for the most cynical attempt at getting the black vote should have been more called out than it was.

There is a famous actor who once talked about how he used to stutter as a child, I can’t remember exactly who and he said that it was as if his mind was moving faster than how he could form the words and his mouth was rushing to catch up to his mind. And he had to slow down and choose his words as his mother would often remind him to do. Biden is likely feeling like his has to get out everything he has to say or it might somehow get lost during the flow of conversation. I agree though that he should remember as POTUS journalists and interlocutors can and will wait for him to relay his message. And if they should shift and look impatient, in the words of King Jaffe Joffer from Coming To America …”well. Let. Them. Wait!”

A girl in my elementary school used to get teased by one boy who said she talked like an old lady, she was 9 years old at the time.
Some people have nasally voices, some people have high-pitched squeaky voices, if people are going to pick, they’re going to pick and most times, there is really nothing to be done about it. Taking care with getting enough breath behind your words, making sure your thoughts are clearly heard and in proper context is the most important aspect of communicating to the public.

Coming from the theater, I wish the U.S. invested more in theater because being on stage, knowing how breath works with your body to amplify your voice and the words is a skill and it can help everyone.

He's at the NAACP. Of course he's in rare form. Biden draws energy from Black crowds. Notice how after his debate he went to Waffle House. Biden has a lifetime pass to the cookout. He knows where he's welcome. Hillary did too. That's part of why the white left hates them both so much.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
