Vince Coglianese: Biden’s Statement Today on Debating Trump Was Not the ‘Last Word’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
EMANUEL: “Vince, hot topic on talk radio?”
COGLIANESE: “It is, it is a critical thing. I really do want to see them debate but I don’t think Biden’s statement today was the last word on this subject. In fact, I would imagine that there may be some people within his campaign who were cringing that he gave that answer because they weren’t quite ready for that. Look, as Spencer said I just don’t think Biden is with it. I think the reason for that I can assess is because look how many things need to be choreographed for him. Everything about his existence in public is handled, including today this report from Axios that he is surrounded by White House aides as he walks from the White House to Marine One in order to block the camera’s vision of how frail he is. He is even reading notes off the teleprompter indicating that he is supposed to pause for audience effect. He says pause when he is just supposed to read it. That’s an issue and it is going to be a big problem in a debate against a guy who is clearly able to handle the stresses of an immense day including at a courtroom all day every day.”
