This is almost certainly going to be awful. Trump is going to talk about Hunter Biden at any given and non-given opportunity. I fear that Biden won't have a forceful response and the whole thing will de-evolve into a complete sh*tshow, much like the first debate albeit possibly with fewer interruptions.
If the second debate is also a disaster then Trump will lose by default. Trump needs the gamechanger, Biden doesn't. It should make Trump ace up his game. It just won't happen because he thinks he won the first debate and he is still Donald Trump.
Sure, but this time he has an actual target (the Hunter Biden "scandal"), whereas last time Trump was just rambling gibberish the entire way through.
And Biden should shoot that target down immediately with a strong answer and turn the tables on Trump (which is hardly difficult to do). As far as I know the FBI has not said anything about the owner of the laptop. Just right-wing media outlets like the NY Post and Fox News saying it's Hunter Bidens laptop.
And Biden should not talk about the laptop itself but about the allegations in general. Going into the details makes it worse.
Just a remark about Giuliani and Borat will most likely be enough to discredit the story. Rudy is the source after all.
Most people probably don't care about Hunter Biden anyway. If Trump keeps bringing it up he will just annoy people. They want real answers on the problems of the day, like Covid, race relations and the economy.
Let's hope so.
We will see.
