Everyone knew Biden was going to screw up, and yet they went ahead with it. How could this be?

They didn't know. Biden was a lot more lucid in prior appearances, like the state of the union speech. They genuinely didn't know it would go like this.

Biden and his team wanted the debate, the idea was to remind the people how unhinged Trump was early enough.
