Thank you, Jennifer Palmieri and Michael Steele. I appreciate your down to earth and pragmatic approach to this.

Polls are notoriously unreliable anyway. It's worrying how much the parties take note of them.

YES, take a chill pill. Thank you, Michael

[denisegroce]

One bad debate doesn’t mean he is mentally unfit. I’m so sick of these people!

[Rheinmeister]

I am so thankful for Michael Steele and his common sense

[judithwake]

EXACTLY !! You don't switch horses in the middle of the river ! To many unexpected things can go wrong and you end up IN the drink !
Take a chill pill for God's sake !!

Way to go Michael Steele. I'm glad someone has common sense.

[reginakelly]

I love Michael Steele! He tells it like it is... Take a chill pill!!!

[LindaGuy-ygju]

It was so freaking painful . I still can't watch parts of it the media shows. It will not change my mind Biden Harris a great team. 2024.

The propagandists are getting desperate 😢

Ifyou voted 4 yr ago, you/we knew Biden's age...and since most of us have had older parents...grandparents, ourselves, we know all about Senior Moments. It happens, not like Trump, whose mind wanders off, mid-sentence for years, but for the most part these older folks are the ones we younger folk go to for the best advice available. My Mom ran our family company till she was 92. I and my 2 siblings are wealthy now because we stayed out of her business because she always knew what she was doing.

Michael Steele is right " Take a chill pill everybody!" President Biden is our candidate! If he wants to stay in the campaign. He should! We the voters want Joe Biden!

Thank you, Stephenie Jennifer Palmieri & Michael Steele, for giving those who do not know a lesson on how things are actually going to go in the election. You guys are giving out good information. Rather than being like a tabloid. I agree with Michael Steel I think it rude to act the way some are acting. The president was not feeling well. I don't know where people's manners have gone these days.

As a Democrat, I'm very worried about the upcoming convention and the possibility of self-infliction. We need to stick with and support President Biden.

[PT-zzks]

The public knew Joe was old before the debate. And were still voting for him over Trump.

[professorbutters]

I think people don’t appreciate how much trouble “replacing” him would be. It would be chaos, AND the polling doesn’t show any stronger numbers in other matchups.

Allan Litchman is the one person who has consistently picked who would win the presidency for decades now. He also thinks changing candidates at this point is a bad idea

[sandgroper]

I cannot understand all this nonsense over the debate. Surely people will vote not on one television performance, rather than on overall policy or issues

[Hello-njdt]

Calm down people. You are doing more harm than good. You don't see Republicans tell Trump to step down. Trump is the only one who should step down.
