Yeah... no he didn't. They just knew they couldn't get enough Democrats energized to vote. And that was totally due to Biden and nothing to do with what Trump did.
I truly believe for anyone watching the debate that golf conversation was the end of both of their political careers.
I admit I didn't watch it and I only scanned the coverage because I really didn't think it was going to change people's minds enough for Biden to drop out, although I clearly was wrong.
So what was the golf conversation?
Oh yeah well im bigly better at gulf than you
What? What? Fat chance, jack
etc.
Sounds very stupid. I don't regret not watching.
Honestly watch it. The whole debate is rough and then we hit this and I could feel the souls of Americans just huff. The whole debate Trump is saying nothing nonsense with no point. Biden is half awake and limping through it. Then this insane conversation takes place

At any moment any one of them could've bodied the other in this conversation and probably won the presidency if you had anyone more reasonable, intelligent, lucid there that would've been such a moment. Instead I'm sweating from cringe. With the state of everything, why the fuck are you arguing about golf?
Wow, I hadn't watched any of it either but damn. Trump just being Trump by bragging about shit that only sounds impressive or meaningful to dumb people and then Biden, looking good until he opened his mouth, showed that maybe he should even resign right now because he's not all there and barely has any energy.
At some point, if we live long enough, there's a sudden and drastic decline where we go from just an older version of ourselves to elderly. Looks like Biden hit that point sometime during his current term.
I wonder if he's the first president to do so. Reagan had Alzheimer's, which can be worse mentally, but I don't know if he had the physical decline also.
That said, elderly Biden would still have been a better option than Trump. Not great (I don't think the Democrats will ever offer an option that threatens the status quo), but better than Trump.
