Preview of the debates: Moderators and Biden might try to raise his record, but Trump will keep talking about another, imaginary, record. He does not care about fact checkers. It's just about getting a clip of him saying something popular (even if untrue) and looking presidential

Trump's health care platform is bullshitting about how he's already implemented a new health care plan when he's done nothing but actively work to take health care away from tens of millions of people

Trump for this very reason. How do you "debate" with someone who has absolutely no compunction about lying with every syllable and whose answer is whatever 'reality' he cooks up for the moment? It's not like the moderators are going to fact check him and, even if they try all we'll get is another diatribe about "poor me, poor picked on me", coupled with "Fake news" and "they all spied on me and we caught them". In short you'll have Biden doing his level best to answer whatever question was posed to him, while Trump does his damndest to assassinate and impugn his character and throw out whatever "facts" occur to him at that moment. I don't see how Biden can 'win' under those circumstances. All it does it give Dummy a big platform to show off for his clutch of low-information voters and other assorted fools.

Every time Trump is in the middle of reciting his talking points, Biden should say loudly “You’re talkin’ crap!”

Every single time. For no reason other than to simply step all over Trump’s audio. He can’t use any good clips from the debate if all you can hear is Biden saying “You’re talkin’ crap!” over the top of every potential soundbite.

that it could be made into a hit song. Because it will not only ruin Trump's soundbites, but it will upset Trump after a while.

Joe doesn't need to sell himself to us.

He needs to talk to the undecided, and flip a few Trumpers while he's at it.
