You KNOW one of his tactics is gonna be to try to TALK OVER Biden when he responds to a moderators question. He will speak LOUD but not yell. Any rules of the debate will be his target. Like most things in his administration he will ignore the rules and do what makes him look right and the other wrong. Look at what he has done in the past and that's what he is gonna do in the future.. I like the idea of calling him "Donald" when Joe responds to one of the donAld's bullshit replys.. " Oh Donald, there you go again"... or when tRump starts trying to talk over him on a reply, just put your head down like your laughing your ass off and hitting the desk...

11. Trump may not want to go to the 2nd debate.
Sun Sep 27, 2020, 07:34 AM
Sep 2020

The 2nd debate is a town hall-like session where citizens of South Florida ask the questions. Biden can hammer home how president Obama and he expanded the life of Medicare by 10 years while Trump shortened its life by 2 years. Biden can hammer home Trump's law suit at the SC to end Obamacare. Even if Trump follows through on the 200 dollar gift to seniors for drugs if Trump takes the money from the Medicare trust fund that will also shorten the life of Medicare.

Trump has a big opportunity to hit Trump hard with Florida seniors.

Trump will crow about his anti-Castro views but Biden can counter that Trump tried to get a trademark from Cuba to build hotels there.

Biden can do a lot of damage to Trump with the people of Florida. If Trump loses Florida he is finished.

I think that there's a strong chance that Trump will run off the rails and launch into one of his tirades that works so well with his adoring base. Moderators should cut him off at that point. While Trump will have been prepped by his handlers, he seldom listens and will be dominated by his inner chaos. Supporters will claim that he dominated the debate regardless of what happens...

I think whenever Trump lies, Biden should say "That was a lie! Someone here needs to fact check Donald's lies tonight. If no one does that, then I will. But then I probably won't get any time to answer any of my questions because we're going to be here all night fact-checking!"

Remember how bad he was debating against Hillary? He basically couldn't even answer a question, all he could do was throw insults and lying BS. Well now he's been doing the same thing for the past 4 years.

We know he won't waste a minute trying to "prepare" ahead. I don't even know why we're calling this a "debate" anyway. Whatever it will be, Joe will show up and he is going to win it.

Ignore the "Sleepy Joe's" or mention at outset "ladies and gentlemen watch, he will resort to name calling"

Still holding out hope that Biden will bring up topics that will stump him. Things he can not explain away. Don't think environment is a topic on Tuesday...but would love for him to say " why did you reverse Obama reg that stopped coal companies from dumping arsenic laden sludge into our water?". You know trump doesn't even know he did that.

Hillary went in to debate #1 prepared and dismantled Trump with textbook ease, in particular making him mad and going of-script when it came to the Miss Universe "Miss Piggy" bit.

It didn't matter, as Trump doesn't play by the rules of civility or normalcy.

They will be talking past one another. Trump will be dour, nasty, mean, angry at times. He will not leave people feeling human, more like scum to send him bodies and money. He will float liberal-sounding initiatives as lies. Health care will be free for everyone forever, from the knees down.

Biden will focus on character of Trump, sometimes in subtle ways, here or there directly, and he will do it with the patented smile. Joe Biden is an intelligent man and a great salesman. He could have made great deals in any occupation in life. He is someone people look up to.

Tell me we're not on the winning end of this.

Go Joe!

If that’s the way they come to the debate then we are going to see a mighty meltdown.

Honestly, try as I might I cannot find any actual successes except for some pandering SCOTUS picks and some fragile Middle East deals. If Joe comes with a combination of hard facts, plans and a scornful attitude it will be a thing of beauty.
