Low energy and well behaved? Outrageous and hepped up on something?

Guess it depends which drug they give him most of.

Oh, the tune-in drama of a cage match. What fluffery.
Yeah, Trump will pull a nutty. So what.
Joe will kick him in the ass and mop the floor with that bozo.
With truth, not gimmicks.

That would be an easier debate for Joe. If Trump goes into his normal asinine childish insult routine that might be harder to handle. Like debating a monkey flinging shit.

The MSM sees the horse race as a money maker for them. This will be their last best shot to boost Trump. Trump will be declared the winner regardless of what is said.

the bar is always set so low for him it's almost impossible for him to underachieve. If he manages to not piss his pants or fall into a stupor and stagger off the front of the stage then the press will give him and enthusiastic thumbs up.

ratings in 2016. Marco Rubio couldn't get them to cover his rallies, among others with the same complaint.

He will mostly ignore the hard questions and just deliver the greatest hits (red meat) to the base. If BIden kicks his ass, Trump will declare victory and pull out of the other debates, since he won't have the friendly Faux moderators.

And this might be their last chance to kickstart the money making horse race narrative for the final run.
