My main interests for the debate tonight:
1. Maniac campaign Trump or drugged out chill Trump?
2. Biden having only minor flubs or something they can make hay with
3. Some left field surprise from Trump like they arrest Hunter Biden during the debate or something psycho

1. not sure. i guessing manic trump for the first debate at least.

2. probaly minor ones. i except him to get mad at one point.

3. who knows. that takes way to much forthought but i could see him maybe calling for his arrest during the debate.

i figure that trump is going to attack biden about hunter and ukraine, call him a socialist who hates the suburbs, and biden is not going to meaningfully respond to those attacks and instead make vague policy promises about togetherness and unity

i'll skip the debate since it's just another platform for trump to show his rear end and any interesting highlights will be anything anyone is talking about for the next couple days anyway

i am probably wrong but i think he will hit on Beau Biden too.

I'm not really stressed out at all since:

No matter who wins, I've already lost.

I'm voting for Biden Oct 17th (early voting) and already know it.

The media is going to call it a tie, regardless. FOX News will say Trump won of course.

I doubt anything short of someone pissing their pants, suffering a stroke or saying the n-word on stage is going to move the needle much.

I'm not even sure I'm gonna watch it but have a feeling I won't be able to help myself.

...

I fully expect Trump to come out in full bully mode. Interrupting, talking over his opponent, blustering, lying, etc. and Joe will be in decorum mode playing rope a dope. But I hope Biden gets down in the trenches with Trump. Not by mucking it up where Donald wants it (like the Mutant Leader v Batman in TDKR) but by treating him like the joke he is; using sarcasm, chuckling, belittling him, hand waving his poo poo, calling lies LIES and using his political skills to get under his skin.

Trump wants this to be a made for TV fiasco and his brazenness is well known so Biden has to counter that with some combination of toughness, brevity, calmness, professionalism, dignity and sarcasm. Make Donald look like a fool by moving and jabbing all night and then landing an occasional overhand left.

agreed. i think biden is gonna go presidential mixed with 2012. trumps like a bull or one of those big charging baddies in video games. biden for all his faults should do well against him. i also think we will see some quiet loving hatred from biden tonight.

Yeah I'm betting he attacks Beau.

i remeber hearing rumblings about them loving around in Kosovo back when the ukraine stuff was floating about and beau did work in Kosovo for a while. so i can see it.

it really does feel like kabuki theatre, doesn't it? literally no one's mind is going to be changed here, outside of the handful of Ken Bone dumbasses who are pretending to not be swayed because of some weird bipartisan aestheticism.

just a bunch of people glued to their TV out of stress. horrible.

i think its all about cementing in support from moderates/indies and poo poo. everyone including myself wants this to be a cathartic one sides fist fight against an rear end in a top hat. its basicaly battle of the bastards for sad fucks like me and probably others on here.

Going after Beau is incredibly stupid. Attacking a war veteran who died of cancer, and giving Biden a platform to tell that story to tens of millions of people who likely have never heard of him, is a gigantic self own. Even attacking Hunter Biden is dumb. No one cares about what someone's adult children are doing. Didn't the GOP's own senate investigation basically end up finding that while the Burisma stuff was not a good look, nothing improper happened?

sure but trumps a loving bully rear end in a top hat who gets his rocks off from genuinly making people feel bad. i could see him doing it.

Biden has a pretty decent-sized polling lead right now so he has every incentive to play it safe and get through this thing without making any mistakes or giving Trump an opening to change the trajectory of the race. So he'll be slightly detached and presidential and give the expected answers to the expected questions.

yeah. i expect that and if he does fight its gonna be like 2012 or so.

I've got an untouched gram of rosin set aside. Can't wait to crack that baby open and get nice and dug in to watching two pudding-brained old men argue about who will better preside over the fall of the American empire.

i am gonna watching with two of my friends on a live chat.

It's rather brutal so NSFW and NMS and all that
