"Really Donnie? You would say that about my wife? How much lower can you go?"

Or, election be damned and he could walk over and just deck him with a left hook.

Crocodiles try to drag their prey down into the muck with them.

Keep him at a distance with well-aimed barbs, short and pointed.

I guess he doesn't have the foresight that I do.

“I guess I didn’t realize — and there was no way you could, hindsight being 20/20 — that this was going to be the president’s strategy, not just for the beginning of the debate but the entire debate.”

5. I've always wondered

why "Hunter Biden" is a thing in Trump's campaign. Joe just shouldn't engage if Trump goes there.
Children grow up and become their own people, Hunter has nothing to do with anything relevant.
Just more "whataboutism". If Trump goes there Biden can so easily turn it around to Trump's kids.
I do think that Biden has way more class than that though.

7. A. Basically pay people off B. physically intimidate Joe

He’s made several moves (like the gift cards) that are simply paying voters with government money.
Hovering over him like he did with Hillary.

Whatever his strategy, assuming there are new twists, the thing to watch is if he can sustain it.
He’s in trouble. His people aren’t going anywhere so he has to try to get women, blacks, and/or Latinos. He has to know that’s his only real shot other than something huge happening.

covering up something he did wrong. Not a whiff of scandal.

so maybe Drump will accuse him of not "getting anything done."

He was in the Senate for __ years is a common theme in their world. For some reason they keep selling their people on pitch lines that the followers have already bought.

10. I don't think Trump can physically intimidate Joe

Joe would probably call him a fat out of shape coward and that he wished they were back in high school so he could kick his ass.

Trump has never personally stood up for himself physically. He doesn’t have it in him.

Joe has more class than me so maybe not, but I don’t think that crap would work.
