1. He's ready. He is going to slay.

My gut feel is that he knows it won't be easy in the sense that he's going to be debating a rabid animal, but he's been around the block several times. He's going to do great.

The DNC vs the RNC?

Joe is so night and day different, so human, so caring, so knowledgeable— there’s just no comparison (but plenty of contrast).

He’ll soar.

5. He's definitely ready.

I think that is why he took so long to decide he wanted to run. He wanted to make damn sure he was ready. Yes.

6. Joe is actually preparing for this. Trump is not.

I expect that Trump will be made to look foolish tomorrow.

7. Trump blew off prep while Joe practiced

I imagine they have figured out some sort of approach to the lack of fact checking. I personally hope it involves ridicule, but that's just me. Trump can't do his speeders after challenging for a drug test. He'll be that droning monotone guy that hangs onto the podium for dear life. And of not, Joe should ask about the drug test himself at the end. It'd be a burn if nothing else.

14. The story that tRump is not preparing is probably just hype to try to make tRump

Look confident that he is ready to take on Joe without prepping. Meanwhile, for real, he knows he is screwed if he doesn’t rehearse several approaches depending on how Joe responds. Of course, he won’t take advice because he thinks he knows best. He will pretend he did not need prep but he does — desperately. LOL

...him and Trump, the better he will do. Give Trump enough rope, and he will for sure hang himself. Folks seem to forget what a good debater Biden actually is.

He is Presidential decades ago.

Now if you are talking ready to win Olympic gold at snow boarding then who knows.

11. Joe's experience will help him find good people to help him

He learned under the best in the White House.
He knows he can't do it all.
But he has decades of experience prior to the White House to help hire the right people.
To me, aside from his good qualities, that is what will make his administration strong.
