Biden says he can 'hardly wait' to debate 'stable genius' Trump

Source: MSN

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he's eager to debate President Donald Trump, mocking his intelligence.

“I can hardly wait. I can hardly wait to deal with what he refers to himself as a 'stable genius,'" Biden told NBC affiliate WBRE at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania. "I can hardly wait to debate him.”

Trump, who has often boasted of his "very, very large brain," called himself a "very stable genius" in a 2017 tweet in response to media reports about his mental acuity, which in turn became an Internet meme and the title of a book by Washington Post political reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig.

Earlier this month, the Biden campaign announced it officially committed the presumptive Democratic candidate to participate in no more than the three previously scheduled presidential debates this fall, the same as in years past. This move preemptively rebutted any likely requests from Trump to have more debates.

holding his own in a debate ? Trump is a head full of empty under such circumstances and since he cannot fallow script the teleprompter will be useless. I think Trump will be a no show. Biden is far smarter than Trump and he really does have friends . Trump has none.

Curious how he will squirm out of them.

He certainly can't/won't blame the virus since his stance is well affirmed.

On edit: Plus he is even more unhinged now than he was in 16'. He had SLIGHT coherence on those debates and that is being generous. Joe is going to embarrass him if Trump actually does it.

or be able to debate, and since Trump will be his usual abnormal self, there really is no point in debating Trump. He stalked HRC around the stage. He interrupted and interjected lies. Trump's brand of campaigning is not logical, it's not civic-minded. It's dominant, disapproving, resentful, peeved, angry. You can't win a debate with Trump. There is no way it's a good idea to debate him. Let him twist in the wind. Give him air time and let MAGAzis orgasm.

Biden would win both debates hands down. His Vice-President selection would probably easily handle Pence also.

Biden should've called Trump's bluff, taken the 4th debate offer
and raised him for a 5th.

Bidens been holding back. He can handle Trump in the debates.

Joe isn't Hillary which Trump tried to intimidate with his constant walking behind her. Joe is smart, tough, and has the balls to kick Trump in the tiny raisins he has.

because he's either going to be debating an empty podium or facing a bunch of canned speeches on a video screen while Dumdum golfs. There will be nothing approaching a debate, Dumdum is too big a coward for that.

The only reason he showed up against Clinton was because he thought a woman would be easy to bully.
