30. If Biden would have done as well in the debate as the press conference yesterday?

A few mix ups of names. Lots of wonky detail. A few zingers.

Media would have run with the name mix ups to fit their narrative, as most are doing now. And if Biden had hit everything out of the park like the SOTU address, Trump would have been screaming for Biden to take a drug test. Ridiculous, yes. But Trump would have gotten media attention for it, and people would question how he could be that good, but only for short bursts, because, you know, he's soooo old.
