Sweet Jesus. After watching the SotU Address, Biden is going to mop the floor with this schmuck.
"No. Wrong. No. Mexicans. CHY-na."
Orange supporters declare victory as dear leader stands strong
Regardless of how the debate goes, Trump supporters will already defend his performance and conservative media will talk about how Trump dominated and humiliated Biden.
Tbf, Biden supporters will probably do something similar.
We are in an awkward position where the opponents are so polarized that debates and discourse does very little to sway the bases. And the so called undecided votes have such eclectic criteria that it makes it difficult to pin down what they really want.

They want to vote for Trump and not have to tell anyone they did. It's why Trump won in 2016 despite the polling.
You could do just that, but it won't make any difference for the GOP base. Biden can debate logically and factually For hours tearing down any bullshit uttered. They'll still claim they won.
Good old pigeon playing chess.
Pretty sure Trump still has an arrest warrant in Iraq.
He could be sent straight to the Hague right now to stand trial for crimes against humanity if the US would just recognize the authority of the court. Separating parents from their children is an act of genocide, and last time I checked the penalty for genocide was death. He clearly did that shit. It's funny how recognizing the legitimacy of the world court would just instantly remove one of the world's biggest problems.

I remember saying this about George W twenty years ago.
Biden should not be debating seditious criminals.
Underoath in a court room?
That would be great if he was actually able to debate. Instead, he'll interrupt and yell, sling insults, and not answer any questions. Biden should 100% not debate him. He should say "I'm not going to debate with a felon, or anyone that is responsible for an insurrection"
Oh, Biden should agree to debate. But with rules to cut Trump’s mic when it isn’t his turn to talk.
Trump would never agree to that.
Then the problem becomes "The evil dems wouldn't even let me talk, they just cut my mic. I couldn't say anything" Aaaaaand his cult shines up their pitchforks.
They cut his mic in later 2016 debates, as I recall.
He will make those claims no matter what. When he refuses to debate, he will blame democrat rules or some such nonsense.
You'd have to toss his ass into a sound proof booth.
Ok. On the treadmill, at the gym.
