Everyone, including Trump supporters, should expect Biden to perform well in the debates. He did better than most expected in the previous debates and always comes in juiced up for big moments.

We should set high expectations for Biden, expect them, and see if he can achieve them. The incumbent should be expected to perform well in the debates. As the nation's leader, people look to him to articulate his vision for the future, defend his record, and present clear plans for addressing the country's challenges. Moreover, given the importance of these debates in shaping public opinion, there's pressure on him to perform well, mainly if perceived vulnerabilities exist in his administration's policies or actions.

I expect Biden to do well and will see if he can meet the standard. His team has done an excellent job getting him to exceed expectations in the past. My expectations will be a high bar to achieve.

That does not mean I’m a Biden supporter, believe he wins the debate, or is the right choice for this country.

I would think so when you're given the questions ahead of time.

He will not answer questions. He will respond by pivoting to a canned prepared response no matter what question is asked and the “moderators” will not call him on it. The media will seal clap at his performance and describe him as stoic, presidential, steadfast ect

Trump's specialty is to get you off your game. If you are talking about economic issues, he'll go at Biden over Hunter, for instance. Talk about military and foreign affairs and he'll bring up Hunter and the deals with the Chinese. He wants you flustered and getting into a crap slinging contest.

It can be an effective strategy

I expect the MSM to tell us Biden did well in the debates. I expect the MSM to tell us to not trust our lying eyes and ears.


As usual.

There's no amount of amphetamines that can be pumped into that crusty old bastard to make him even seem remotely competent alone much less beside the best President in modern history. (Which is why I do not believe these debates will actually happen)

But the MSM will tell you he wins and does fabulously.

Even if Joe is pumped up full of Lord knows what as if to appear as the second coming of FDR himself , there’s a huge shite sandwich courtesy of his regime that he’s gonna have to be convincing everyone is actually a prime rib dinner.

That was four years ago and now he's hopped up on Aderall to make through a day .......He'll start off well then fizzle.

Besides HE HAS NOTHING TO offer ....

This is a loon that believed he was leading in the polls because his handlers were telling him that .......

When you control the narrative, have the questions before hand and cannot actually debate .......You have a leg up ........

I think he comes out with the crowd screaming to send him to Delaware to bake on the beach ........

So Biden agreed to debate in June because they don’t think Trump is going to jail?

You are correct

Maybe it's drugs, maybe it's moderator help, maybe he has the questions in advance.

Biden's people are not going to put him on live television without the expectation that Biden will perform well.

They have stopped letting him walk alone for goodness sakes because they know one fall and he's finished.

In the 2020 debates people expected Biden to stand there staring with drool on his tie.

When that didn't happen people came away feeling Biden looked pretty good. It was a benefit of low expectations.

He performed poorly against Paul Ryan in 2012. That was essentially his "high water mark" as far as debates go.

He never had a good showing against Trump. ...and it'll happen again, but the MSM will say he fared well regardless of how pathetic he performs.

Okay, expect him to do poorly and set the bar low. Then, it will be easy for him to show up and the MSM to prop him up like they have in the past for those who can’t see past the smoke and mirrors.

If they actually want to replace him, then this will be the catalyst for it. Just let him fail by pressing him on issues and making him defend his decisions.

Why I believe Trump [who is already hamstrung by the format changes, rules, moderators, etc.] should be non-conventional at this debate.

Go on the attack. Ask Joe, "what will the American people find out about in the near future about the drugs you are obviously jacked on, can't walk, talk or stay up past 2pm?"

When they cut Trumps mike and Biden is talking, interrupt him. Biden can't function when those interruptions occur.

This is not a time for Trump to memorize every facts... generalities work and Trump does best when ad hoc. Just attack border, wars, inlaction, Afghanistan, how we've spent hundreds of billions of our children's legacy and put us closer to Armageddon than was ever feared Trump would.

He should just repeat... "You are a disaster Joe. Hows Hunter, Joe? I'm sorry your uncle was eaten by cannibals Joe. Why do support illegal immigration until 6 months prior to the election Joe? Have you seen the cash and assets you left in Afghanistan, Joe? Why do support Hamas in any way, shape or form Joe?"

Drug tests should be mandatory before the debates. Make Joe perform without being juiced up. Won't happen because Brandon's handlers know that he couldn't stand on the stage for 15 minutes without some help.

I’m not worried about it one way or the other. Debates rarely move the needle. Mainstream media raved about the state of the union yet Biden didn’t even get a short bounce in the polls. They will say he is great and won the debate, but will be shocked to see it doesn’t help him in polling a week later.

If he has a teleprompter there, Trump absolutely MUST point that out.

Biden can read statements well. Especially when he has weeks to practice.

I would love for Trump to say “I’m going to give my next three minuets to Biden so he can restate what he just read in his own words.”

Then just be quiet and look at Joe. Joe doesn’t even know what he is reading but he still word calls well.


I’m a special Ed teacher with over 25 years of experience. I have many students who can read excellently, but have no idea what they just read.

I see this trait in Biden.
