If I were Trump in a debate with Biden, I would do everything I can to mess with him.
————————————
Me too. But with extreme caution. Think back to that grade school bully who used to pick on and tease the special ed student. No one likes a bully.
President Trump must be careful and not appear to be a bully over the simpleminded Biden.
For instance, during the debate when Joe Biden starts gasping for breath again, President Trump should rush to his aid with a glass of water and a supporting arm to lean on if Biden should fall down.
I agree. Ask him once and again, you ok there Joe? Or interrupt the moderator sternly, why are you trying to confuse him, speak a little slower. Act like the concerned son every once in a while. Women voters don’t like bullies and many women have taken care of elderly parents that get mentally stuck. So he can’t come off like a bully. Just run circles around Biden with facts for the viewers, as Trump is so good at, and when Biden stumbles in rebuttal, you ok there, joe? No, no, let’s give him a minute it’s ok - but no smirk or smile or condescending - just concerned looks and tones. Would you be more comfortable sitting down? Let’s get a chair in here. Can we get a chair in here? No? (can’t you just hear Trump saying that?) Who forced you to do this, Joe? Would you like to be in charge of National Parks, Joe? I’ll bring you on and you can spend your days touring them with your great grandkids. Would you like that Joe?
Joe has nobody around him - no one - who gives a hot damn about him - Trump should show empathy for his situation while still being lazer focused on the admin’s accomplishments these last three years. That’s going to win the hearts of women. And Biden will cry in his hanky.
(otoh, Pence needs to shed the Mr. Nice Guy tone and go no quarter with Harris because she wants to eat his brains)
