Here's my totally inappropriate suggestion for who President Biden should bring to the first debate

IF there is one, of course.

Anthony Hopkins. Now, I'm not advocating that Sir Anthony be wheeled in and wearing a straight jacket that scary bite muzzle but that would be absolutely epic.

Trumps going downhill fast, his handlers will be afraid of letting him go into a situation they can’t control.

on this one.

They'll find some excuse... I think with the pronouncement about a Faux News debate in October that Biden said 'No' to is the groundwork for backing out of the others.

Trump hates dogs and would be terrified of a German Shepherd.

Plus Biden will get the dog lover vote.

The real mystery is why TSF has agreed to these terms.

which he was afraid to turn down in the moment. However, we can bet that he'll try to change the terms or back out altogether.

Of course, that's to deprive TFG of his narcissistic supply and help control his behavior. But if there were an audience that would be both inappropriate and hilarious.

I saw someone else suggest Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and a life-size carboard cutout of Ivanka. I know there won't be an audience... in fact, there probably won't be a debate. But we need to keep some humor in the mix, lest we lose our minds.
