assuming they happen. as long as biden has a huge lead, we might be better off not giving donnie a chance play a wild card.
but if we do have debates, i'd like to see biden have a list of websites/searches at the ready to catch donnie in a lie.
biden: "you said x, y, and z, horrible things, you should be ashamed!"
donnie: "i never said that! fake news!"
biden: "don't take my word for it, everybody go right now to www dot website address dot com and see for yourself! donnie just lied, as he always does, but there he is on video saying exactly what he just said he never said!"
(biden turns to donnie)
biden: "that sound you're hearing is 100 million people catching you in an pathetic, shameful lie. we've had enough!"

(31,125 posts)his lie conferences (I dont call them press conferences.)
Here is the sad part, NOT ONE supporter will care if you prove to them he is lying, about everything. They will NOT accept it or care.
Now, doing that MIGHT unhinge the child, and he has the mind of a child so it is possible. He especially HATES Women and POC, so I would have loved to see him debate Warren for that reason.
When Hillary debated him there was no way of knowing just how crazy it would all become, at that time even people like her and many out there (not myself) thought he was at least "capable" of reasonable, human behavior.
And Hillary isnt a street fighter, she is an intelligent Women who has fought her entire life, within the rules, to improve the lives of Women and children and everyone.
Joe isnt as street fighter either, but so what, not only is traitor not a street fighter he is actually the biggest coward on earth.

(34,857 posts)Biden should say, "we're gonna tweet out right now exactly what you said so the American people can see and hear for themselves..."
Then have the Biden social media guy tweet it out.

(26,298 posts)Since the debates are held in the evenings ("sundowning" time, if you get my drift) I have a feeling his challenged cognitive abilities will be on full display, and he will back out of any further debates.

(26,298 posts)The rest of his debating 'skills' will be in the form of a tweet. Hopefully composed after 'sundown'.

(7,238 posts)Catch him in a blatant lie and it wont matter to the Reich-wingers. At all! They will just say, But the Democrats..., or thats fake news put out by the deep state....
It just doesnt matter!!!
Frank Bruni had a great column last Saturday (25th), and what caught my eye was his comments on the power of the liar. Brunos closing paragraphs:
So while this election is indeed a contest between two men with two visions, its also something else. Its the tallest tale Trump has ever scaled, the greatest story ever told. Its a referendum on the reaches of his persuasion. Its a judgment of the depths of Americans gullibility.
Have we cut the cord to reality? Then Trump has a chance. And America hasnt a prayer.
If America doesnt stop being gullible, and rationalizing away the horror that is Trump, its over.
