    I don’t think this is a good idea at all, but I’ll defer to the professional campaign strategists. Trump loves this field of battle where he can just flout the rules and strut around in comparison to his opponent.

      It didn’t work out so bad for Biden last time.

      All that said, one way or another these debates are going to be an absolute shit show.

        Yeah that’s why I’m deferring to the pros. They have better numbers and political minds than I do. This is likely just dread settling in now that we’re getting back into the swing of things with Trump involved.

      This is always death. Following the GOP around, mimicking what they do and say is the inevitable result.

      Do not give him any credibility at all. None. Treat him like the scumbag traitor pariah he is.

      Not sure what election you followed last time, but Biden climbed in the polls after every debate until Trump weaseled out of doing another. When you let them debate against each other, Biden looks like a normal politician and Trump looks like an idiot.

        Why the aggression? I’m not some idiot armchair politician and explicitly defer to the professionals in my comment. I’m worried because Trump has some weird plot armor in real life and frankly, any situation he’s involved in scares me. America is fickle, this is a new election with a new set of circumstances, and the “Biden is too old” narrative could impact either way depending on his performance.

        Polls are garbage. It’s all “we” have, so they still spend millions and chatter on about them, but they’re still hot garbage.
