As someone with a nerve damaged “tricky” right foot, I don’t care if the candidates are provided a tall stool to sit on, or a podium to lean on during the so called debates.
I don’t expect two over 75 yr old men to stand at parade rest for 90 minutes straight.
That said, there will probably be drinking games occurring.Every time Joe mentions “X”, you take a small sip of tequila or green tea with lemon.
I will not judge the CNN moderators until I see what they do. It is a real challenge for them. If they go too far anti-Trump, they will be seen as partisan hacks and discounted. This will give Trump a win and conform what he as said about fake news. If they appear too soft on Biden, they will also be seen as partisan hacks and discounted—a blow for CNN. If Biden stumbles and they try to help him, this too will be seen as partisan and give the win to Trump. If they are too soft on Trump, or let his “lies” stand, they will be attacked by the left! They have a rough row to hoe. They can not win. Biden must just appear alive and able to answer soft questions and not fall over, ramble or freeze up. The MSM will paint him as the best debater since Lincoln. Its really a debate That will test the Media and not the people running for office.
