without a vaccine as the nation will develop a herd mentality. A herd mentality, not a herd immunity, the term his addled brain couldn't come up with.
Let the debates go on and let this fool show the nation how stupid he is.

Hard pass on his advice.

Goad him. Ridicule him. Laugh at him. Question his intelligence and competence and manhood at every turn. In ten minutes, he'll be a blithering idiot like Eric.

And, if the opportunity presents itself call a lie a LIE! Don't mince words.

(3,635 posts)and putting Trump on defense and Biden is more than capable of doing that.
'Fact checking' - why are so many clueless Dems/operatives so concerned with this. Everyone knows Trump lies - it's not about going through his lies one by one. It's about controlling the narrative, and Joe will do that.

(11,742 posts)Well, that was a lot of verbal diarrhea, now for a reality based answer... and proceed to answer the question as he has been, which has been very good.
Just show the contrast.
Don't let Trump get under his skin
When Trump throws an insult at Joe, he should just say, "Wow, are we in third grade? I thought this was a debate hall not a elementary school yard, then focus on the topic being presented.
Show the contrast.
I think Hillary mopped the floor with Trump during the debates, but I think she spent a little too much time reacting to Trump's bullshit.
Biden needs to just laugh at Trump and move on. Just point at him, turn to the camera and say...Wow! then move on.
You know that Trump is going to pull out all of of hi craziest shit, just be cool.
At the end of the debate, just look straight into the camera and say, "America, you just got a chance to see the difference in your vote this election. You can vote for me and get sane, adult leadership, or you can choose a clown who brought us 200,000 Americans dead and a crippled economy in less than one year"

(7,263 posts)That number is just not going to move much.
He can stand up there and literally shit himself, and the numbers are just not going to change much. His supporters are going to go gaga over his performance, while the reality based adults are going to be shaking their heads.
Joe just needs to be the adult in the room and he will be fine.
Barring shenanigans, a low Youth and/or minority turnout, or shenanigans, this election should be in the bag for Joe and Kamala.
And I just do not see a low Dem turnout this year. WE have the motivation and passion on our side.
Hate to say excitement - it is more like we will have 7 months of nuclear angst to express and get out of our collective systems.
This election is going to let out all our cooped up emotions and frustration caused by Covid.
A Reality Based Primal Scream.
