I suspect you are very close to the truth on this one. I also have no idea how anybody is going to fix it. I do know that they are on a road where we are all going to be involved and I fear for what might happen. The Biden thing last night is not going to help either. I think it was the 3 weeks training that Biden was given by whoever. They REALLY screwed it all up!! After it was all over they had Biden on something and he was talking normally, and with no problems at all.
My wife used to do a lot of debate stuff in school. She said when they said he was being trained (or whatever) that she hoped they knew what they were doing as they can really screw somebody up. The whole thing is very strange to me.
