In the wake of the first debate, Joe Biden and his team have been doing all they can to try to spin away the disaster.
But it isn’t doing much good. He is getting savaged in all the media over how badly he did. Plus, on Friday, Biden continued to be incoherent and screaming in North Carolina, and went into pandering overdrive in New York City for the Stonewall monument visit.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump went to a rally in Virginia on Friday. Virginia, which should have been safe blue for Biden, is now in play because of the strength of Trump and the weakness of Biden.

People began lining up hours before the event was scheduled to begin in Chesapeake, some as many as 15 hours ahead of time:

Trump spoke about how Biden got everything he wanted with the debate–from the network to the rules to the moderators–but nothing could help him “defend his atrocious record”:
Biden spent the entire week at Camp David resting, working, studying—he studied so hard he didn’t know what the hell he was doing. He got the debate rules he wanted, the date he wanted, the network he wanted but no amount of rest or rigging could help him defend his atrocious… pic.twitter.com/XFEHu5f4WP

Trump said the question wasn’t whether Biden could stand up for 90 minutes, it was whether “America can survive” four more years of Joe Biden:
The question every voter should be asking themselves today is NOT whether Joe Biden can survive a 90-minute debate performance—but whether America can survive 4 more years of Crooked Joe Biden in the White House. pic.twitter.com/zsK0qBSmFR

But then he dropped a new name for Joe Biden. Especially in the wake of the debate where Joe lied his head off, the name was very apropos:
Trump dropping a new nickname. “Pinocchio Joe.” I love it. King of the nicknames. May need to do a nickname power ranking list Monday morning on the radio show. pic.twitter.com/nmhaMoujHd

People loved the new name.
Trump just ended a huge rally in VA.
If he wins VA it’s over.
He went into detail talking about his to-do list once he takes office.
His ideas are stellar.
But the highlight for me was his new nickname for Biden:
PINOCCHIO JOE.

Trump said if he wins Virginia, that means he’s going to win the election, and he urged people to get out and vote.
