Exactly people saying a debate matters anymore are crazy
We are less than One week away from the first Presidential Debate, "Biden Vs. Trump", how are you feeling going into it ?
- Thread starter Armadilo
- Start date
I think we're actually going to see Biden be the first one to break decorum and actually, properly stand up to Trump. The last peg is his distorted self-image of himself as an alpha male big bad bully that he got to feed thanks to everyone stridently playing by the old rules during the last go-round.
Like seriously, when he interjects to say, "Wrong!" or whatever just say, "Shut up and wait your turn, you stupid child" and shut him down on the last avenue for appealing to his idiot base he has left. Make it very clear that he is not in charge, he is not intimidating, and no one is interested in taking his bullshit for four more miserable years.

I just hope that Trump is confronted on his lies that have been recorded, and they actually cut to the audio in question. He needs to be embarrassed by Chris Wallace in this way.
Letting him get away with "fake news/hoax/wrong" is what he coasted with in the 2016 election because he was seen as a meme to the media. This debates should be something to make him uncomfortable, every moment.

people REALLY overestimate trump's ability to speak. he's only in his element at his rallies. have you ever seen one? he just get's up there and talks shit for an hour. it's like a bad standup special. that literally won't work at all in a debate setting unless the moderators are FOX hosts.
I'm gonna make myself watch but I'm not looking forward to it. It's gonna be painful. I just hope Biden can land a zinger or two. The thought of seeing that much Trump at once.... nooo
Can't stand to hear Trump speak. His voice makes my blood boil.
I'll just read the transcript when it's available.

Biden's going to kick his ass. Probably not literally. But it's going to be a complete disaster for Trump who's going to be rambling and spreading plain as day nonsense the entire night.
Having said that, it'll change nothing as for as the polls/election go. There are no more undecideds. MAYBE if there are seriously still people out there who firmly believe Biden has dementia and aren't voting for him because of that, they'll see he's perfectly fine and change, but honestly, it doesn't matter if the election is today or November, the outcome will be the same.

I can't believe it's that soon. I'll probably watch because I hate reading the analyses that come out, and i want to make sure Biden does well. I also think it'll be interesting to see how Biden handles Trump.
They're utterly irrelevant. Biden should've demanded real time fact checkers be present to call Trump out on all the bs as a condition for even having the debates in the first place.
I looked forward to the debates in 2016 and watched every single one. This time... idk I fucking despise listening to Trump speak at this point. But I will probably muster the courage to watch at least the first one.
For what its worth I think Biden will do well, he pulls of the macho masculinity persona much better than Trump does and I think it will be more noticeable than his incompetence vs. Hillary.

"Fox News' Chris Wallace will moderate the first debate."
Lol
No Chris is actually fine but I thought it was funny.
Took next wednesday off because i plan on getting belligerently drunk watching and yelling at the tv
Hillary won every debate and she still lost. So I don't think the debates have a big impact on election results.
I expect a few slip ups with Biden that'll be exploited by Fox News and other right wing publications.
Trump will be noticeably worse, he always is, but his base will eat it up; they always do.

Heh, same. I'll painfully wince at highlights on the news the next day.
Honestly I hope the pressure is too much for Trump's body and/or ego to handle and he crumbles in one or more ways. He's never challenged in a way he can't escape or bail out and he's also terrified of confrontation with the enemies he rage tweets about on a daily basis. You've seen how he can't meet Barrack in the eyes.
I think this is a big possibility too. He might already be looking for some dumbass excuse that his base will eat up.
For my own sake, I'm not going to watch. I might even avoid social media that night. I know who I'm voting for already. The debates won't change that. The only thing they'll do is give fuel to each side, undoubtedly exploited the most by outlets like Fox and ones that lean much further right than even they do.
I just wish it was January already so this can all be finished, for better or... worse.

Trump isn't preparing for the debates at all and Biden knows policy.
I can't see the debates ending well for Trump.

User banned (1 month): armchair diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
Trump is an idiot, Biden appears to have Alzheimer's. Not sure I bought enough popcorn.
I'm actually fine with Biden, but considering the stakes, I'm kind of extremely worried someTHING, any THING could happen that might give that cheeto ass another 4 years.
80 million people still watched that debate. It was just Hillary handled those debates so poorly, leaving people thinking they're both terrible choices. Biden will have the spotlight on him and can either really help her hurt him during these debates. He has a chance to really separate how people who don't pay attention to politics 24/7 perceive him versus what little they know of Trump.
Wow, people are still pushing the "Biden has Alzheimer's/dementia" bullshit.
I think Biden will do fine. Wallace as a moderator gives me some hope because he has already shown to fact-check Trump in real-time, especially on stuff on Biden. Trump will make an ass of himself, as always. I do think Trump will perform more erratic while Biden will be confident and collected. Since this time it isn't a woman, Trump can't be "imposing".
But in the end, the debates won't turn the needle. Everyone's already made up their minds at this point, I feel.
