I will be honest .. debates usually do not interest me.. but this time

I am sitting in front of my tv with a stop watch to see how long it takes for Trump to lose it. I am guessing he is going to try and behave himself.. so the right wing channels can use these debate responses to show he is not the delusional person we have been hearing from for the last 8 years

But this is Donald J Trump. He will not be able to control himself.. Instead of stalking like he did with Hillary, or interrupting constantly like he did with the first debate with President Biden.. My guess is when they cut the mikes.. he will run over jump behind President Biden and start shouting into President Bidens mike. He will do something just not sure what it will be.

That is, a pole with a large hook coming out to
stop the show.
It is also sometimes appropriate to use a large stage
curtain closing in his face mid rant.

The second was decidedly more civil than the first.

I doubt that Trump is going to do anything as goofy or disrupting as many are predicting. I think it's more likely that he'll largely ignore the questions and use the time to give yet another stump speech and toss out a few one-liners I'm sure he's been practicing.

I think we will see a subdued Trump.
His camp will spin the debate as boring and call Biden mean and amped up.
