...The physical and mental strain of high-level public speaking and debates can be arduous, even debilitating. For seniors especially, constant levels of high stress can cause dangerous and lasting effects, including high blood pressure, weakened immune system, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and an increased risk for heart disease. If the Democrats want a healthy Joe Biden in 2021 and beyond, they would be wise to have him skip the debates and all the preparation they require.
While Biden has said “he can hardly wait” to take on Trump in the debates, I don’t think his team or his proxies will let him. Even before Kenosha, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Lockhart, and others were publicly urging their candidate to pull out of the debates, ostensibly because of Trump’s alleged incorrigible dishonesty. I expect that the drumbeat to withdraw will increase steadily over the next two weeks. The usual anti-Trump “bombshells” by the media (like those in the Atlantic and in Bob Woodward’s latest book) will provide the Democrats some cover, though dodging the debates will hurt them in some circles.
If Biden defies my prediction and proceeds with the debates — whether out of misplaced confidence or desperation — they are far more likely to be a disaster for him than a success. Although he and Trump are roughly the same age, right now they are worlds apart in terms of their mental and physical abilities...

Not going to happen.
He will be there with Bells on and he will be lying through his false teeth with no pushback from the DEMONcRAT Moderators.
He will probably get an overnight IV Infusion of a Focus Factor before the Debates.
Biden (SADLY) is obviously SENILE. = He has the SAME symptoms as my late Mother did in her last 6 months of earthly life.
Frankly, as he is now PITIFUL, I do NOT expect him to live until Christmas. Further, I cannot believe that the DIMocRATS were DUMB enough to nominate him.

A Freeper here said he thinks it will end up being virtual debate and Biden will have teleprompter out of site with his staff giving him the answers. Might happen.
Clint forgot his speech and it was a last minute idea...lame as it was.
I actually love this idea. That way moderators can give the Dem candidate the questions before hand like Donna did for Hillary.
Sounds about right.
Correct. There really is no role for a moderator in a debate beyond enforcing the time allotments for each participant to speak.
The media of course have made it all about them and their control of the spectacle.
President Trump had a so-called Town Hall meeting hosted by Bret Baier and Martha McCallum held at the Lincoln Memorial. Two hours of videotaped questions from people around the country. From about one thousand video entries, they chose one positive for Trump question, three neutral questions and all the rest snarky, attack questions. PDJT should never allow prescreening of questions again ..... and he hasn’t so far.
He won’t drop out as that would be a HUGE negative with independents.
We are setting the bar too low for Joe, he can still spout memorized answers and that is what he will do during the debates, spewing hate while pretending to be a reasonable uncle Joe.
We need to set the bar higher otherwise the media will paint Joe as winning the debates when he barely gets through.
