I doubt many Trump supporters can pull off a 90-minute attention span. What else is on that night? Dancing With the Stars? America’s Funniest Videos?

Trump is prepping by failing softball interviews on OAN and Fox.

Wallace going to fact check or say its up to Biden to fact check the non stop lies coming out of drumps mouth, leaving him with either having to spend most of his time fact checking him or having to let a lot of lies go unchallenged.

Wonder who is standing in for Trump in the debate prep…

My guess is a jack-o-lantern filled with bees.

Some wingnuts are a little concerned that no matter how sharp, and energetic Trump performs, if Biden manages to get through the debate without drooling or soiling himself the mainstream media is going to declare victory for him, because the low expectations for such a senile man.

[“President Donald Trump, for his part, told Fox News in an interview last week that he “sort of” prepares every day for his face-off with Biden “by just doing what I’m doing” — traveling and delivering speeches at rallies around the country.”]

  • Trump/Biden Records: “Sleepy Joe is a Socialist.”
  • SCOTUS: “They’re gonnaa get me to the Finish Line”
  • COVID 19: “I’ve got the most people”
  • The Economy: “All my buddies made money.”
  • Race/Violence: “Yeah…I feel real violent about race.”
  • Election Integrity: “I’ve GOT this. Dems aren’t allowed to vote. Just relax and embrace it.”

And that is precisely the problem that they have saddled themselves with… when you declare your opponent mentally compromised and then he makes your guy look like a fool, well you kinda brought that on yourself, didn’t you?

Points for Biden if at some point he growls “shut up you m-fer and let an adult talk!”

I expect Trump to repeatedly address Biden and challenge him, to throw him off his rhythm. Things like, “Joe, would you support expanding the Supreme Court?” You can bet the White House is looking up “ways to fluster a stutterer”. I hope that the Biden team anticipates the GOP playing dirty, since that lack of anticipation seems to be the Democrats’ Achilles Heel.
