First Presidential Debate

Post by bmw » Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:32 pm

So, who here will be watching tomorrow? I know I will. This is one of the few 2020 campaign season events I've been looking forward to.

Any early predictions? I have a few:

-Biden will use the phrase "fair share" at least twice.
-Biden will have many rehearsed talking points and will hold his own until Wallace asks a completely unexpected question
-Biden will make at least one significant gaffe.

-Trump will ask what drugs Biden is on.
-Trump will make a big deal out of the BLM violence and will paint Biden as very weak on that particular issue.
-Trump will say he has a bazillion accountants who get him all the best tax breaks.
-Trump will appeal to black voters and make a big deal out of his record on black unemployment.

If Trump uses your predicted strategy he will be obliterated. Biden has been prepping for weeks. Trump did no prep at all.

Trump did no prep at all in 2016, and how many total debates did he get through? And he never fell from 1st place in the Republican primaries and he beat Hillary. No need for him to prepare - he does best when he speaks off the cuff.

He lost all 3 debates by every objective measure plus all the primary debates. His base is so stupid that they think this guy is one of them. And that’s not an attack... it’s a simple observation. Debating is an art and a skill. There’s a reason someone debating the way Trump does would get ejected under any other circumstance and in any other forum.

Biden will say, "The emperor has no clothes".

Trump will say "fake news" 5 times.

If Trump stalks Behind Biden he can just turn to Trump and ask him if he’s lost or if he has to use the bathroom or any number of things.

How would Trump go to the bathroom in Biden's pants?
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

Trump will use the word "hoax" at least twice.

Biden shits his pants, ergo "the bathroom" Biden is referencing is his own pants.

You’re that desperate that making sense isn’t a prerequisite?

Not desperate at all. Do you need me to draw a picture?

Nah, tomorrow might be different. I'm drinking everytime Biden looks lost or looks confused.
