Surprise Attack?

[kentuck]

The last debate between Trump and Biden is this Thursday. Should Biden not attend? At the very least, in my opinion, he should take a test for the coronavirus and insist that Trump do the same. It should be public knowledge. If Trump refuses, call off the debate.

No doubt, the Trump campaign will be looking at this debate as a venue to chop Joe Biden to shreds. They are probably debating whether or not to do the same tactic they did the last time, in an attempt to rattle Biden? Some are probably recommending caution? But, Biden should be prepared for a personal attack? That is the only weapon they have at this time.

The biggest surprise would be if Biden went on the attack. Perhaps he should?

Maybe Biden is being advised to "look presidential"? Don't get down in the mud with Trump. He's a pig and he loves it.

Biden does need to understand that they are coming after him.

1. I'm pretty sure that Biden completely understands where pmurT is coming from.

And I would bet that he and his staff are covering every eventuality in the practice debates.

[kentuck]

4. Let us hope so.

Kristen Welker as the moderator is an interesting choice?

Also, "everyone" was pretty sure Mueller had everything under control.

[lagomorph777]

14. I think it worked pretty well the first time: let TЯUMP hang himself.

[GoneOffShore]

24. Hoist by his own petard is always a good thing.

And it means I can have some nice warm Schadenfreude and a glass of Chianti.

[Siwsan]

2. If the moderator has control of the mics, I doubt trump* will agree to attend.

He's already kind of trying to set things up, using the choice of moderator as yet another excuse to participate.

But if, by chance, the debate does happen, I have full confidence in the people surrounding and advising Joe.

3. How about we put a horse's head in Trump's bed the night before the debate? Just

"spit ballin'" here-------

[lagomorph777]

15. There's a horse's ass in TЯUMP's bed every night.

[Atticus]

16. Ka-POP! Professor, a rim shot, please! nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Every time tRump interrupts, Biden should rest on podium, smile & give tRump a Gene Wilder look

"When your enemy is making a mistake, get out of the way."

[yellowdogintexas]

20. or classic Jack Benny when he would turn and look at the camera....

[beachbumbob]

6. How did first debate work out for trump and why would Biden FEAR any attack by trump???

all it does is to reinforce trump's insanity to people HE NEEDS to come to him. Be a huge mistake for Biden not to show up

[PatSeg]

26. Not a single Trump attack against Joe

has left a mark so far. I can't imagine him coming up with one now that would make a difference. It only makes Trump look like a nasty bully and Joe look more presidential.

His base may love the attacks, but they already were voting for him.

[Buns_of_Fire]

7. I don't think what Rump's staff and/or advisors say will count for much.

They can try to brief him, and they certainly will. It won't matter. He's still going to waddle out on that stage and be the same incoherent, taunting, willywagging, grade-school bully his drooling worshippers know and love.

On Joe's side, I'm thinking along the lines of Ali's "Rope-A-Dope".

[doc03]

8. I figure it is going to be an all out attack on his family. I hope he is ready and don't lose his

cool. Maybe just laugh in his face like he did with Ryan or just let Trump keep digging his grave. The more he runs hi mouth the
more it turns off sane people.

[patricia92243]

25. If it were me I'd say "I'm sorry you are confused, but I am running

for the office of President - not my son. It is the same way Ivanka is not running, but you."

[mitch96]

9. " If Trump refuses, call off the debate" If he really Really REALLY wants to debate,

He will just lie. and say he took the test. He has a boat load of hired MD's to a test to the results
We know he lies and lies A LOT. So why would this be any different? He's desperate and will do anything to win including his lying. Now if it's he gets tested by a lab of Biden's choosing and
vise versa that would be a different story.
Trust but verify... YMMV

10. Why would Biden want to suddenly change strategies?

Have you looked at the polls?

Biden and his staff clearly know what they're doing.

[louis-t]

11. Word on the news and from orangeade's spx is

'he will tone it down this time'. Yeah, right.

[lagomorph777]

17. Hah! Like TЯUMP is capable of toning it down. He's losing his mind, worse every day.

[dalton99a]

19. "Sleepy Joe, will you please like me?"

[getagrip_already]

12. believe it or not......

The advisors grand strategy is to have trump let biden speak. really. That's their grand plan.

They claim that by letting him speak, he will appear confused and tired. How did that work for bernie?

hat drivel appeared in rawstory as clickbait. But fear not, the advisors have no faith trump won't be triggered and go off on a tangent of some kind.

My prediction is he will try to invade joes personal space. Its just the kind of stunt he would be giddy over.

[lagomorph777]

21. At this point they have 2 choices: Let TЯUMP speak and make a fool of himself, or

let Biden speak and make a fool of TЯUMP.

[louis-t]

34. Because his worshipers will love it.

He's only campaigning where he will be adored. He only wants the applause. He only targets his Nazi base.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Is it virtual? If not, why? OrangeAnus is still a health risk we can't afford to take.

[stillcool]

18. I think Joe and his team have...

way more knowledge and experience than you give them credit for.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

22. Trump is trying to get ANY of the Hunter Biden smears to gain traction

That will be his debate strategy.

The problem: the only people that care are those already voting for Trump.

[Jersey Devil]

23. Joe doesn't need advice from us about what he "needs to do"

He is doing just fine so far so why would he want to change his tactics?

[myohmy2]

27. yes...

...Biden should attend but he should not trust ANYTHING trump and give this warning...

...Biden should instruct his security detail not to let ANYONE come with 15 feet of him during the debate...security should be on stage, present and ready to respond...

...he should make this fact known to the public, to trump and to the commission...

...we should not risk our next President being forced to contract COVID before he's sworn into office...

...hang in there...

[SKKY]

28. Biden debated Warren and Sanders, and more than held his own...

...I'm not worries about Biden's performance in the debates.

[2naSalit]

29. I hope he plans to use that plexiglass shield...

That Jamie Harrison used when debating Leningrad Lindsey. He needs protection from these virus spreaders.

[Wounded Bear]

30. Personal attacks from Trump would hardly be a surprise...

[BannonsLiver]

31. "Biden does need to understand that they are coming after him."

Sigh. You don’t think he knows that? You don’t think his staff knows that?

[Hugin]

32. I have great faith at this point in the two laws of the Turd Reich...

1: Nobody tells Agent Orange what to do, ever.

2: Anything the Candy Corn Skid-mark touches will inevitably and inextricably go to crap.

I see no reason to doubt these well established and documented realities. I take comfort in them.

[Boogiemack]

33. I think Biden should be on the ATTACK about all the corruption, fraud, cheating this administration

has carried out, including all that that Trump's children have been really accused of. Name all the litigations and potential litigations facing Trump. All the sealed indictments to come and, of course, his Russian entanglements including those of the GOP in the House and in the Senate.
Use up the time with all of that with the theme being we just can't afford four more years of scamming the American citizens, misusing valuable tax dollars to support a crime family while ignoring the dire economic crisis we are facing and the pandemic that has already cost so many lives unnecessarily. No vaccine can replace the loss of loved one already gone. No promise and no amount tax relief to the wealthy without real dollars going to the 98% of us who have to work for a living and survival.

Joe should hit hard with this at the first opening he gets.

Crime, you want crimes? I'll give you crimes. You want corruption? I'll give you corruption.
Rigged elections? I'll give you examples of rigged elections and voter fraud and tampering (Latest headlines about all the tampering, and rigging by GOP).

There is a wealth of information out there if only an enterprising staffer would put it together succinctly so Joe could use it in 90 minutes.

[denbot]

35. That's what I'd do, but I always vote for wiser people than I.

This is an election of contrasts. Biden is the anti-Shitler, and IMO that will see us all home.
