Who is planning to watch tonight? I think it was mentioned in the last thread but I am convinced that there is very, very little that Trump can factually hit Biden with so Biden should get a lot of opportunity to play offense. Surely Burisma, his vote for the Iraq War, the Crime Bill, but I cannot think of much else. He'll probably bring up Biden failing to fix anything in all his years in public service. Trump, OTOH, is likely to spend a significant portion of his night on defense. Biden will likely have dozens of opportunities to hit him, especially if Trump is as unprepared as he is being reported to be. On paper, tonight should be a bloodbath. Biden just needs to avoid looking/sounding senile and/or saying anything stupid (senile or not).

Being here to catch y'alls hard hitting commentary while watching will just add to my enjoyment level.

So Trumps surprise guests will be who? Jill Biden's ex-husband who says Joe committed adultery in a run up to his unnamed book (he does not seem to be a Trump fan FWIW, not that Fox News cares)? Maybe a mystery prosecutor from the Ukraine? Biden grope accuser?

There would need to be a stadium to hold all Trumps "special guests" (aka accusers) if Biden wanted to get down in the mud.

A single person cannot commit adultery and, last I checked, Jill ain't running for POTUS.

Also, Trump fucked a hooker with Melania in the same residence tending to infant Barron, so it doesn't seem like a productive line of attack.

I will watch. For “entertainment” purposes only since I don’t anticipate anything meaningful resulting from it.

I am going to watch. Trump dumbing down his chances is amazing to watch, especially after the 'slo-joe' and 'diminished capacity' stuff. I would like to hear some policy positions just as levers for Biden since we know that Trump has none. Biden is not a policy wonk, so these should be digestible. I have some morbid curiosity as well and hope that Joe has some push backs to attacks he can hurl to mitigate the attacks. It will never happen, but a 'I hear they are calling you brok-a-hontis on twitter' or a 'how many business did you dive into bankruptcy?' would be sweet. If Trump brinngs up Hunter's drug struggles a gentle reminder that Don had 'like others who are helping a loved one with addiction struggles, no control or responsibility for his brother's alcoholism and eventual death from complications, only compassion.'

He’s not saying that a single (sole) person cannot commit adultery, he’s saying that a single (unmarried) person cannot commit adultery.

Even money on one of Trump or Biden with a Costanza-like "Well I had sex with your wife!" line tonight

trump is against the ropes... even the best case scenario with the income tax exposure puts whatever credibility anyone think he may have had in serious jeopardy and really takes the air out of much of his narrative. i fully expect a lot of low blows and shots after the whistle from him. this will get ugly.

I think it would still apply, but I was just being cheeky.

I can remember when Carter felt compelled to admit to this. Times have changed.

though even then it made people uncomfortable.

Trump is going to throw every possible kind of crap at Biden tonight. I hope Joe is ready for it, preferably by showing the ability to deflect the crazy claims with some humor rather than by dignifying the attacks with attempts at a serious defense.

Chug your drink when a candidate answers something other than what was asked? That means you’d chug your drink for every question at every debate
