The greatest reason to watch is to see Joe Biden come apart and go splatt in the middle of the debate, while the voice of MAGA, Donald Trump himself, remains controlled, presenting a calm demeanor, and avoiding all contentious remarks.
Reagan won the election in 1980 when he responded to some of Carter’s more egregious assertions about medical care for the aged, with “There you go again.”
Jimmy Carter never regained the initiative in the debate.
“while the voice of MAGA, Donald Trump himself, remains controlled, presenting a calm demeanor, and avoiding all contentious remarks.”

Don’t forget that the job of the “moderators” is to provoke and belittle him. Trump won’t take that for long before he hits back. He’s a street fighter and they will use that against him.
There is NOTHING the Left won’t do to stop what they perceive as an existential threat to them. This staged event is going to be the biggest political hit job ever seen on live TV IMO.
Trump should just sit back and ask Biden a simple question. “What have you done in 4 years that warrants another 4 year term? Come on Joe. Name three things you have done which had a positive impact on the US economy?”
That should do it.
Jimmy Carter lost when Reagan said, “There you go again,”
to Carter’s debate assertions about elderly medical care.
And who could forget Reagan’s historic response to Mondale’s slamming his age:
“I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”
