Trump team plots how to bust Biden in the debates

**SNIP**

Now the Trump campaign and top advisers want to avoid the same misstep this fall when the president first faces off against former Vice President Joe Biden on Sept. 29.

The Trump team has been studying Biden’s idiosyncrasies in debates and other venues and preparing tactics for Trump, according to interviews with a dozen campaign aides, White House officials and outside advisers. Some have noticed the way he says, “C’mon, man,” whenever he feels frustrated, and they’re trying to identify words or phrases that trigger him to “reboot,” as one person familiar with the planning described it. Essentially, Trump aides are looking for ways to trip up Biden in an effort to spur an incoherent or unsatisfactory response — bolstering a key Trump argument against Biden built around his age.

Biden “did a very effective job at debating the wunderkind that was Paul Ryan in 2012, so I take his knowledge and skills seriously,” said one outside adviser to the Trump campaign. “That said, I do think he's lost a step in the years since then.”

Other aides say they have been watching Biden’s past debate performances for other clues, such as when he is uncomfortable with a question.

I would try to find a way to pinch off Gropin' Joe's IV drip.

The rest will take care of itself.

Only in the irrelevant, impotent, globalist world of GOPe is Paul Ryan considered a wunderkind.

There was nothing impressive about Joe Biden in the 2012 VP debate. He was laughing at Ryan like a buffoon - completely disrespectful of Ryan, the debate setting, and the audience.

It was one of the worst presentations I have ever seen.

And Ryan, of course, took it like a smirking little beta male.

I hope that when Biden starts acting like Commander Quigg on the witness stand the Trump is prepared to say something like, “This isn’t right. I have no desire to be part of something that will be a blight on Mr. Biden’s distinguished career. Can we call this debate now and stop the bleeding.”

"Come on man.."

"Look..."

"Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself..."

All phrases that he tries to use to recover from after going off script...

If I were Trump, I’d use that phrase repeatedly and mock Biden to his face. It will infuriate the tiny little part of Biden’s brain that still works and utterly disrupt his ability to concentrate on the answers being fed to him through his earpiece.

Prediction: DNC will cancel debates. Joe won’t be allowed to appear. I’m not sure what cover or allegation they will use as an excuse. They’re probably planning it now.

Exactly right on all counts - I remember his smug and obnoxious Biden was.
Of course, the next day, 100% of the media declared Biden the clear winner.

I think if POTUS will just start some of his responses with “C’mon, man!”, it will completely derail Biden and he’ll be unable to speak coherently (as if he could, otherwise).

I am SO lookin' forward to this.

There's not much that can be asked of President Trump that he hasn't already fixed, is fixing or has initiated.

I mean ... foreign policy ?

PULEEZE !

Domestic issues ?

again PUHLEEZE !

and so on and so forth.


And most deliciously .... President Trump could even say something like:

"There's a copy of it in front of you .... we gave it to you before tonight's debate started"

“his smug and obnoxious” = “how smug and obnoxious”

I should hope he did a good job...Dopey Joe and Ryan were on the same team.
