That strategy only works if you actually look like you know where you are at any given moment.

The strategy could work if you had the rizz. Obama could have pulled it off because he has the rizz
Yes, Obama was a good actor & stand-up performer. Basically Alex Jones level performer. That is how he was able to bullshit his way to the presidency.
exactly, obama knows how to look perplexed in an accusatory fashion
Biden from the Paul Ryan debate could have pulled it off.
Everybody already understands that Trump is an idiot. Even his supporters do, to a degree.
The problem (for the democrats) is that people believe having an idiot in control is better than whatever the hell we’ve been doing for the past few decades.

Joe the type of guy that after his nerd friend explains something in great detail he retorts “uhhhh….in ENGLISH?!”
Ah, the Tucker Carlson strategy 
What is going on? We finally beat Medicaid. Ah man, I shouldn't have said that
I'm Joe Biden and I'm running for Senate. Ah, if you don't like me.. vote for the other Joe.
The real gaffe is even funnier, he said "other Biden" lmao
There at least could plausibly be another guy named Joe running for office, but you're the only Biden Joe! C'mon man 
wasn't that Tucker Carlson's entire shtick? staring at you like you're an idiot to make it seem like whatever you said didn't make any sense?
That explains why a lot of chuds I ever had the displeasure of speaking to just tried to act stupid whenever I made the mistake of arguing.
Only this time Biden is doing the "deeply concerned" face over trump's remarks and not the green m&m having big titties anymore.
If that was his schtick, his face got stuck like that. I've seen him nod earnestly with that expression on his face.
How about if I piss myself during the debate, people will think that Trump is pissing in his pants
2028 democratic candidate: guy who says bruh to everything
The nominee is Pete Buttigieg, and he says "buh" to everything
I wonder if the debate in 2020 when his teeth fell out was part of a strategy to show how he was such a powerful orator, his teeth were afraid of him.
or the time in 2020 a capillary exploded in his eye, was an attempt to show he had the most potent insight.
maybe all the gasping and rasping in the last debate was to show us all how his lungs were delivering powerful, rejuvenating oxygen to his totally-wotking circulatory system.
also, if your pitch is to display relatable, human emotions maybe don't have your skin stretched over your skull so tight you look like some tortured heretic nightmare unit from Trench Crusade.
Shitty gerontocracy can't even get Mumm-Ra right
Solid strategy. Play to your strengths. I for one was very impressed by how perplexed he looked.
Also, many lesser politicians would have dropped the whole thing once the election was over, but Biden didn't stop looking perplexed for one moment. Shows that he's a serious politician who actually cares about the issue. I hope he runs again in 2028!
He's a method actor
This is such a boomer thing to do
My partner's mom does this constantly
Biden is older than the boomers lmao
If the boomer’s a chud and you’re ever feeling like a dick, use it to win the argument.
“I understand my vocabulary is intimidating so let’s just end the conversation before you hurt yourself.”
Imagine convincing yourself he was doing on purpose.
It's that same thing online libs do when they pretend to not even be able to understand what someone they don't agree with said in an effort to telegraph that what they said is so stupid, it's beyond comprehension. But clearly they understand it. Beating your opponents with smugness has never worked. Let's keep trying it! It's adjacent to hypocrisy takedowns
Look here, corn pops:
What was the question?
Sounds like revisionism to me.
Yeah I don't buy it, that wasn't an act. Sleepy didn't even know what planet he was on in the debate.
