I like this presidential debate strategy for Biden

Schooley ✔ @Rschooley

I just hope in the debate prep Biden is prepared for the near certainty that gas-lighter Trump will vehemently deny saying things everyone knows he said. The response should be, "You said it, I have the clip and my team is posting it to Twitter and Facebook as I speak." And even if he's not 100% certain they have the clip, Biden should say he does anyway to throw Trump off his game. Take the risk. Trump imagining everyone checking their phones while he continues to deny would strongly rattle him.

I just hope the DNC and Biden can put together a series of plays that don't repeat and Trump cannot anticipate and also can't resist taking the bait. The Lincoln Project may be able to help. They get it.

He debated Sarah Palin on national TV in 2008, and then debated Paul Ryan in 2012.

He rose to the occasion both times.
