Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Trump’s whole campaign is one mistake after another. Nothing good can come of a debate where Trump will dominate the conversation with so many lies that Joe will never be able to swat them all down. It would be beyond fun to watch but just not a good idea if you want to win and if want our nation to retain a shred of dignity.
