Optimism.

Today there are two very good and important bits of good news (beyond Biden's great debate performance):
Consumer confidence has risen to pre-recession levels and Gallup is reporting 7.3% mid month unemployment. That's the same unemployment number that Reagan won with in 1984.

That means that it is time for some more optimism. That is the key ingredient to winning the next debate. One word, optimism, and a presenting a reasonable path forward. If the President does this, he and many other Democrats will do very well on election day.
