He will bluster and deflect and lie just like he always does. Trump’s biggest hope is that Biden makes a big gaffe in the debate. He can’t afford to skip them.

Once he gets trounced by Joe Biden, and then fact checked by the media the next day, Trump will not show up for any more debates.

And both candidates will show up. Much to the dismay of those on both sides predicting the other candidate will not show.

to raise money and turn his campaign around. Biden has a chance to make sure it doesn't happen. But, no pressure.....

He's going to get hammered by Biden, and won't be able to stand taking the heat and criticism.

I think he's preparing to bail.

He knows he's going to lose. He knows no one can save him. He has to leave before getting arrested.

That's my hope, my aspiration for him.
