Just as in 2020, Biden will wipe the floor with Trump...

One only has to look at Trump's severe mental decline over the past several months...

He goes to cities and forgets which one he is in....

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-mocked-over-arizona-texas-gaffe-1909577

He has 35 second cognitive freeze-ups during a speech at the NRA convention...

Then he goes on a rant saying Biden is senile - and in that speech forgets the name of his WH doctor...

And maybe at the debate we'll finally get an explanation why he thinks Hannibal Lector is a "wonderful man"...

Get ready for policy and accomplishments from Biden and "electricity and sharks" from Trump...

Trump shouldn’t have any problem if eviscerating Biden, all he has to do is run Biden’s abysmal record, and continue hammering him on the economy, just smash him on the border issue, as well as the illegal issue, get him on how he and his party completely undermine our police force, and how they have been under attack, and then put the cherry on top with the inflation rising, gas and food prices, just focus on 79% of what the people want, and do a rope-a-dope with Biden and just focus on the typical usual non-policy issues. Trump is bad, J6 and abortion, let Biden beat that one to death.

Is there a particular reason why you’re so dismissive of the Capitol attack, Mr. Trump’s criminal record and ongoing legal woes, and women’s bodily autonomy? How about the police officers who were injured during the attack which was fueled to no minor extent by Trump’s falsehoods and election result denial?

Biden's seeming low bar for success has been created, at least in part, by the 78-year-old Trump and his Republican allies, who have relentlessly mocked the Democratic president for apparent stumbles connected to his age for years. Trump's allies have questioned whether Biden can even stay awake and stand up for the entire 90 minutes.

Democrats are hopeful that Biden can bring the same energy he did in his State of the Union address earlier in the year.

Do you seriously think that was the normal Joe Biden when he delivered that SOTU speech(?)—he was jacked up then and he’s gonna be jacked up again today. Smdh.

But

A face-off on live television against an opponent who delights in verbal combat is very different from a scripted speech before Congress. “

Trump shouldn’t have any problem if eviscerating Biden

ROFL...

continue hammering him on the economy

Stock market at all time high...even Fox got caught telling the truth...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/whoa-trumps-top-economic-adviser-112641644.html

just smash him on the border issue, as well as the illegal issue,

Trump killed border security bill - hires illegal maids at MAL and Bedminster...

get him on how he and his party completely undermine our police force and how they have been under attack

MAGA-world attacks FBI - put 140 Capitol Police Officers in hospital on Jan 6th...

do a rope-a-dope with Biden

"Rope-A-Dope means having another 35 second brain freeze...

and just focus on the typical usual non-policy issues.

Sharks, electricity, and Hannibal Lector....

Trump is bad, J6 and abortion, let Biden beat that one to death.

He will...

If 45 doesn’t pull out or storm off the stage he’ll need some other way to look like a poor widdle victim.

On Friday he’ll again claim the moderators were biased and that Biden was on drugs.

45’s poll numbers will worsen. Biden will come out the clear winner.

This is what will happen.

Can Biden perform

No.

and what will Trump do?

Dominate.

Key questions ahead of high-stakes presidential debate

Asked and answered.

Biden is going to drop out. They know he can’t win and will have someone else. Can’t imagine keeping Biden.

and then put the cherry on top with the inflation rising

Hopefully Biden references this recent report by 16 Nobel Prize winning economists warning of higher inflation if 45 becomes President again.

If he can carry a stack of index cards with him, maybe he will reference it.

45 will be high on performance enhancing drugs, will have answers written on his tiny palms and will have a hidden speaker hidden inside his neck flaps transmitting answers. I have no evidence of this but I heard it on a podcast.

Las Vegas has 20 to 1 odds that every time Trump addresses Biden at the debate he'll call him "Barak Hussein Obama"...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/04/campaign-confusion-trump-mistakes-biden-obama/72841597007/

But look on the bright side MAGA-friends, that's better than Trump calling Biden "Nikki Haley"....

-1 ( +4 / -5 )

Such a powerful nation and all they've got is these two buffoons.

Trump would should be rotting in jail for the crimes he's committed and for what he did in November 2020.

And Biden, can he remember his own name? And, hasn't he had enough cake already?

I lost interest in USA politics some months ago, it is so corrupt it is almost beyond belief. As for the debate, my dog, 2 aged men, who should have retired 10/15 yrs ago just makes it farcical.

First Past the Post and Winner Take All are not corruption and those are what prevent third parties.

So a bunch of made up stuff, irrelevant stuff, or with clear arguments about Trump is equally bad if not worse. Yes, should go swimmingly.

But this isn’t true, is it?

It is

He often uses a teleprompter and recently

No, only when it involves CERTAIN political speeches he did as President, but not for his rallies.

had a meltdown when his stopped working mid rally. 

Ok, that is one and Biden?
