Bret Stephens: Gail, in our last conversation I asked you whether you would join me in calling for Democrats to find a new nominee if Joe Biden had a disastrous debate performance.
You replied that it would have to be “super disastrous.”Did the president’s performance on Thursday night meet your definition of “super”?
Gail Collins: Bret, I was thinking about you all through the debate.
You were worried Biden would “lose it with some obvious memory lapse, slurred sentence or troubling blank stare.”I pretty much dismissed your concerns, and I was, um, sorta wrong.
Even if he makes a comeback from the he’s-way-too-old moments of the debate, we’ve got months before the election.
