This is about the only way Trump can come back. If he messes this up it's probably very close to over. Will he do well or will Biden really hammer him about everything that has gone on in the past year? I guess we'll have to find out!

Can we get the 2012 VeeP debate biden.
I can't be the only one that is hoping for more character or engagement from the guy, don't pull no punches! People get the idea he is too restrained and patient, or will be hammered on by Trump, and I know that can't (or won't) be the case.

This is going to be one big joke.

As if we can expect any of the guys to make decent, substantial arguments about political topics or issues.

Probably somewhat from Biden, but from Trump ? LOL.

80-90% will be attacks or other meaningless talking points.

The debate takes place at 3 AM Central European Time which means that me and my friends are going to get drunk beforehand and then watch the thing and I've been excited to do that for a week now

Imo, this is the biggest moment of Biden’s entire campaign. If he delivers or at least gets a “passing grade”, I think it’ll be mostly smooth sailing potentially till Election Day. If not...

I think he’ll be fine tho. I know he and his team has been practicing heavily for months and  its not hard to know what Trump will try and throw at him. Also, for the most part, he’s came up clutch in his biggest moments so far (Sanders debate, VP announcement, convention speech, his primetime TV interviews, the CNN townhall)

Tonight, 60 million people will see how old and frail Biden looks . That will make a difference. People don’t watch debate for substance, to get actual insight. They don’t listen to what the candidates say. They go by impression, and the way a candidate looks is often critical. It shouldn’t be this way, but it is.

Yeah but he looks fine. So......

Trump is 3 years younger than Biden.

Also, Biden pays his taxes.

I'm ignoring the rest of your comment but only adding that it's gonna be more than 60. 84 million tuned into the first debate in 2016. With streaming added in this time, I think it would be higher than that.

Yes, but the vast majority of Americans also know that he can easily check in at the local retirement home after he gets elected and that the younger Kamala can then take over.

As if democrats had seen that and even then decided to choose him as their candidate. Also, I think you have to be almost blind to think that Trump looks better than Biden. Trump doesn't even look like a human being, everything about him is disgusting. He's fat, his hair is fake, he uses more make up than RuPaul and he's amorphous.

When Biden gets flustered, he gets angry and flies off the handle. I expect Trump to more than exploit this massive weakness tonight.
