Team Trump is planting nutty excuses in case Trump has a poor debate tonight.

The "Biden is doping" and "Biden might be wearing an ear piece" nuttiness is only newsworthy in so far that Team Trump is planting excuses in case Trump has a poor debate tonight. Excuses that most people will ignore but Trump's super-fans will embrace.

1. Add: Biden saw the questions, Wallace will give Biden easy ones,

Biden is a skilled debater and Drumpf’s just a bizness guy who’s hardly done it before (but claims to have won all the other debates).

2. All the MF has to do is not reach into his diaper and throw the contents

and he will be considered a hero. Seriously...he's a known quantity. He will smear VP Biden and call him names. He will lie his ass off and none of it will matter. The MSM will say he's a winner if he avoids a full on breakdown. Count on it.

3. They can't even come up with original excuses

These dogearred old ploys are played out and boring. So is Trump.

4. IN CASE he has a poor debate tonight?

It is 100% guaranteed that he will have a poor debate tonight.

5. If you mean it in terms of actually DEBATING, probably...

...if you mean it in terms of "flinging sh*t," he'll probably outperform expectations. But which of the two do viewers want?

At any rate, this is a pretty standard exercise in minimizing expectations. If Biden wipes the floor with Trump, it'll be "drugs and earpiece!!!...FAKE DEBATE!!!!!" Anything less and it'll be "Everyone was expecting Biden to dominate, but Trump went toe-to-toe with him. TRUMP WIN!!!!!"

6. T hose bone spurs are acting up again.

They got him out of Vietnam. They could be useful to get him out of this.

7. Just heard Biden is "insisting on wearing an earpiece" and wants 2 bathroom breaks.

Implied is the bathroom breaks are so he can do a bump.

8. On Twitter they are saying that Biden agreed to get his ears checked but backed out today

at the last minute. They also said he would not agree to a drug test. Then they were like I wonder why? Then their cult members started saying Biden was hiding something. 🙄

9. Probably means the buffoon is doing both of those things.

I doubt he has the attention span to deal with an earpiece though. That doesn’t worry me much.
