This is a fun topic because stealthily it lets you know whether any given Biden supporter or Trump hater is secretly afraid of what Trump would do to Biden in those debates.

Haha excellent point!

If Biden cannot hold his own in debates he sure as hell can’t handle the presidency.

Trump should come on the stage at the first debate and ask Biden, “Can I call ya sleepy joe?”

And Biden can say, "Sure, and I'll call you Loser Trump."

He can't think that fast.

Which is better for Mr. Biden?

The possibility that he is impaired?

Or the certainty that he is impaired?

Good chance you’re all being punked by the Biden campaign just trying to lower expectations. Meanwhile he’s experimenting with different doses of adderall and equivalents to see what will make him sharp as hell for three hours when it most counts.

The more cynical might consider this totally not unexpected.

He would tell one grandious lie after another forcing his opponent to either ignore the lie or spend the whole debate debunking the lies. That man sucks the oxygen out of room when he opens his mouth.

Meh. If anything people might be worried about what Biden could do to himself.

Surprised Bill Kristol would trash precedent and tradition. Seems short sighted.

Thank you for rephrasing that in a way that doesn't indicate that Trump is competent at anything. It's important to make sure we cleanse all conversation of such ideas.

Trump can hold his own with Biden when it comes to producing unintelligible word salad. He’s probably better at it in fact.

[Horace]

Nothing to worry about in the debates then. It's a zero sum game after all. We're looking for relative suitability, not absolute.

Personally, I suspect Trump would come out better in the debates. And of course, you suspect that as well.

Minus the brown outs. Biden’s first blackout is going to be very scary. He’s getting closer to Stockdale by the day.

As I’ve said before, Trump doesn’t get penalized for his word salad like Biden does. He’s graded on a curve. None of his supporters need him to make sense.

Random insults aimed at unnamed citizens, classic TDS

jon is wary of unfair reactions in favor of Trump, lol.

[jon-nyc]

I’m not worried actually. I think the GOP has overplayed this and have set very low expectations for the debate.
