(219 posts)He doesn't have anything he can run on that Joe won't completely dismantle him on in 30 seconds in a fair debate. Trump has no choice to go low and personal because that's what gets his base revved up.
Joe knows this is coming and will handle it like a pro. He's going to turn it all around and use it to make Trump look weaker than ever by the end of the debate.

(219 posts)But stop. Take a few deep breaths. Nothing trump has been able to do has moved his polling numbers up an iota. There really are no undecideds anymore. It's all going to work out if we just keep pushing forward and do what we can to support our candidates and get people out to vote.

(46,116 posts)the Rules. But the mod(s) won't because in the opinion of the producers, this is gripping television. Think of it like 90+ minutes of Teresa Giudice (Real Housewives of New Jersey) flipping tables non-stop and escalating as the minutes tick by. This is no Harvard Debate Team versus Yale.
The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)He LOVES whinging about how the ebul libruls persecute him (i.e. call him on his bullshit). Shutting him down would be grist for the mill. And of course they want him to get up and spew his diarrhea of the mouth, because it means fat stacks of ad revenue.
I think at this point, most minds are made up. Seems you either despise the cretin or worship him.

(2,626 posts)Focusing on tRump's failures is perfect. Joe's got plenty to choose from.

(32,084 posts)He believes his own lies about Biden, and he's going to go in there thinking he's dealing with a guy who is stupid and "is in mental decline." He's in for a rude awakening. All Joe needs to do is push his buttons, of which there are many. Like Mary Trump said, just address him as "Donald," and never by "Mr. President.' There are loads of other things he can do to set off the syphilitic, orange pigman, as well. I give it 45 minutes before he reaches full tantrum, if Joe handles it right.

If that actually happened the election is over, because his base would abandon him for being a loser and his alleged 'tuff guy' image would be destroyed... tRUMP's previous attempts to call Joe weak and feeble would also backfire bigly.
Buckeyeblue
(5,499 posts)He continually attacks me because he can't defend his own administration's record, which by the way by the way, might be the most corrupt administration in our country's history. But let's not talk about that right now. Let's just talk about his disastrous policies. He has repeatedly called the Covid-19 pandemic a hoax. This is a world-wide pandemic. And he calls it a hoax. He undermines state attempts to protect people. And by the way, states were forced to act individually because he refused to act nationally...
Biden could go on and on...each time Trump attacks him, he could provide a different example of Trump's failures.
And if Trump brings up Hunter Biden, Joe should say, your administration's record-which is staffed by members of your family--is so disastrous that you have to extort lies about my son using tax payers money. You can't even use your own money to buy these lies. And the give an example of a policy disaster.

(36,816 posts)It's funny (both ironic and humorous) how the Trumpsters decry Biden's supposed senility, yet they praise Biden's debating skills as a pre-excuse for Trump's own incompetence and senility.

(8,923 posts)that to show America who is in better shape, they should each stand up on their own power during the debate rather than sit in his chair or lean on his podium. If Joe does it Trump will have no choice - then Trump's legs and back will be giving out under his 329 pound load that he won't be able to think about his attack lines.

(490 posts)and chide Trump's playground antics. The laughter was effective in 2012 and can be again, but these are (more) serious times so save it for when he does something overtly personal or absurd.
