Biden is trying to project calmness, rationality and the kind of polite behavior that goes with being presidential. So he can’t say “They should put him in a strait jacket with duct tape over his mouth.” At least not publicly.

The six topics for the event: “Fighting COVID-19,” “American Families,” “Race in America,” “Climate Change,” “National Security” and “Leadership.” The topics may be changed subject to breaking news and will not necessarily be broached in the order listed, the commission said.
Trump doesn’t know anything about the topics in this debate. He has no capacity to know them. He can’t discuss them.
This isn’t a a student who didn’t do the reading walking into a test. This is a golden retriever handed a Rubic’s Cube.

That’s overkill.
For Donnie, a fly swatter and a determined swing are all that’s required.
It doesn’t take much imagination to see him cringing and whining in a corner.

He’ll also attack Kristen Welker, Lesley Stahl, Hillary and Obama.

He’ll show, say he really wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have to be and then walk out when he gets tired (about 2/3’s through), as per his new bold strategy. His followers will claim he’s “owning” Sleepy Joe with high energy confidence and the media will spend another day talking about Trump’s behavior rather than the substance of what Biden said.

I could see that too.
Regardless of anything else: How about a CPD rule that Trump produces a verifiable negative covid-19 test result as a basis for even allowing the frigging event to happen tomorrow? I’m starting to get worried for Biden’s health and safety, especially given this isn’t coming up anywhere. I mean honestly, WTF?

Rabies, also too.

Maybe he’ll assert, and imagine, that despite his febrile state, it’s the room that’s too cold.
I don’t think it’s firmly established that covid definitely packed up and moved on, as inhospitable as his body likely is.

That should be one of the new rules - the moderator can mute the mic when the candidate goes off topic. Trump would be speechless.

Biden should just insist that they put a ramp up to the debate stage. It’ll be over before it starts.

Wonder if his bank accountsin China will come up?
The President having a secret Chinese bank account and paying hundreds of times more taxes in China than the US seems like it should be a bigger thing.

I believe Trump will try to move from his podium towards Biden so he can be heard on a hot mic. Can he stand still??

With Trump scandals it’s always a question of where to begin.

Too late now for the Commission to require shackles?
