Here's how Trump can "win" tonight

Simple. All he has to do is walk on water, cure epilepsy, and make the blind see. But we all know he'd prefer to drown blind epileptics.

What if he could magically make Covid-19 disappear. Nah, then he couldn't make fun of Joe Biden in a mask.

Actually, I don't think there's any way he can "win" tonight.

But what about you? Do you see any path for "victory" for him?

He will claim he won no matter what.

Nothing would surprise me.....walking off stage, trying to yell over Joe, even with his mic cut, trying to take Joe's mic (who's Secret Service would win?)

If he shut up completely and refuse to answer any questions at all. Complete silence could do the trick and push him over the edge for a win.

He could just flash easily misinterpreted expressions as a response.

5. Victory for Trump?

Hard to imagine, but here’s the best that he can do. He can promise to concede on the morning of Nov. 4 in exchange for a pardon for all his federal and state-level crimes. Assuming that Biden and Cuomo would/could agree to those terms, that’s about the only victory available to Trump.

sucking the oxygen out of the room and will continue to do so if people let him. I'd prefer to not let him do so, and prefer to not discuss him or his antics what-so-ever.

going to, as usual, waste all of our time with his nonsense. Let the real adults in the room (and our kids) get to work, and get out of the way.

when he declared he was Napoleon: it seemed to me to be the moment that he finally grew into a Presidential role!"

That is what I want to hear on all three news networks.

I believe Trump will use his first minutes to piss and moan how unfair the debate is. Then go into a hissy fit on Hunter Biden in several areas as he melts down.
