      I figure heā€™s over his COVID-19, heā€™s not dealing with the stress and exhaustion of trying to be president and run for president at the same time, and heā€™s genuinely having fun.

      The ā€œIā€™m so damn oldā€ line was hilarious.

      This is a fantastic speech.

      Heā€™s had a few fumbles, and it feels like the crowd has been coached to chant ā€œWe love Joeā€ to cover for him. But nothing like the debate performance.

        The few fumbles looked like it was just his stutter showing up. Not at all like the way he seemed on debate night, especially at the beginning.
