...if anyone else did it, and if Trump wasn't given the special "Well, that's just Trump being Trump" pass.

At this point, he'd have to strip naked and bark like a dog to be considered noticeably more unhinged.

He goes on a rage, knocks over the lectern then charges at Biden?

Hopefully keels over and drops dead but I still wouldn't put it past him.

I think we're probably just in for his usual lunacy.

I know that a lot of people see a drastic decline in his mental state, but I'm not sure it's much different than it's been the rest of the four years. Maybe it just takes more to raise the bar now.

Not if they put a ramp between the candidates.

He's at risk for being tackled by his own Secret Service agents. They'll want to get on the good side of our next president.

This is the last chance he has to play to his audience in a big way. I suspect he'll act pretty much the same way as the first debate, except that now he'll have to yell even louder when his mike is cut off. He'll pick a fight with the moderator, complain about how unfair everything is, and spend most of the time on Hunter Biden.

That white scalp and orange face will make people stop eating Creamsicles. His hair on his temples will look like the Cryptkeeper.

That would be a hell of a lot of fun to play with. Maybe I could make a version of Pretty in Pink a la David Cronenberg or It's A Wonderful Life by David Lynch. Or maybe there's one out there that can take mundane photos taken with your iphone and reinterpret them in the style of Picasso. It would be a great idea of it isn't already being done.

I would bet he walks out after about the 4th mic mute. My 2nd bet would be he tries to come over and use Biden's mic and Biden tells him to "Back off, man!" My 3rd bet is he strokes out and collapses at his podium. My 4th bet is he tries to assault the moderator.

over the Biden nonsense. If you can't figure it out, that's the only plan they have - make it look like the media is "covering up" for Biden. Its ridiculous. That's why he released the 60 Minutes bit.

Chumputin is already over the edge, this will only serve to hasten his descent.

To be honest, I feel it a shame that Joe has to lower himself to even be in the presence of the traitor.

But, yet again, Joe is taking one for the team to save our country.

For all the crimes they committed against him, then stomping off the set. Let Bill Barr and his enabling handlers attempt to clean up his insanity and fascist behavior.

I just watched his release of the 60 minutes interview where he is so incredibly condescending and combative and actually trying to mansplain to Lesly Stahl. It was a rather disgusting piece of attitude - he seemed so high IMO, and determined to talk over her constantly like he did at the debate. Speaking of which I wonder if he'll even show up tonight - he is supposedly going to have a test ahead of time which he didn't do he first time and was supposed to. I expect if he shows up that he'll start yelling over the muted mic and possibly storm out.

at the media, Democrats, Biden, Pelosi. We have what, 12 days? Tonight it gets real.

This is shoe-throwing-banging-on-table territory. Stomping. Are they in the same room? He'll wander again, rush the moderator. Anything could happen. Except normalcy.
