        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.

              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.

              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.

                    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.

                        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.

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

                                    Trump is a lot like AOC. They don’t need to make sense, they just need to emote in the resonant frequency of their respective tribes.

                                      It's easy to compare Trump to a clown, but how about comparing him to Biden? Do you expect more than tribal noises coming from Biden?

                                        But unlike AOC, coronavirus aside, he produced results that defied expectations and actually were amazing. So tough to swallow I admit.

                                          Considering the certainty that Biden will make exactly the noises his tribe coaches him to make, it is difficult to see him as anything but a properly pedigreed tribal noise maker. Which I can totally understand is preferable to Trump, to many.
