Well tomorrow is the debate......Biden already refused to do the Town hall in the Rose Garden, didn’t even respond. So we’ll see if he shows up tomorrow night because neither candidate is required to be there.
They may very well stay holed up til after the election.
One after the other...

2 Jan 2012: The Atlantic: Biden Gets China
by Steve Clemons, former Washington editor at Large at The Atlantic and editor of AtlanticLIVE
Biden’s Next Big Project: Recognizing that Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping will be China’s president-in-waiting through much of 2012, the White House will move Vice President Joe Biden to the helm of the Obama administration’s US-China policy.
A senior White House official has confirmed that Vice President Joe Biden will take the lead on the administration’s next phase China policy.
The White House official made clear that the coming shift in the locus of US-China policy management was not a critique of either Clinton or Geithner’s management of the China portfolio — but rather, the rise of Hu Jintao heir apparent and current Vice President Xi Jinping as the likely next President of China created certain practical challenges in dealing with him on a same-status level throughout much of 2012 until Xi’s accession to the presidency is formalized.
The view of some of the administration’s China-handlers is that management of US-China policy has become so central to a vast array of other policy challenges that the administration’s approach needs to be both broad and managed with “a deep and senior bench.”...
National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon has essentially been holding the China policy portfolio himself since September 2010 when in the early part of that month he and then Obama national economic advisor Lawrence Summers went to Beijing to attempt a reset in a quickly deteriorating US-China economic and military relationship. For the most part, currency politics aside, Donilon’s mission has succeeded — and he has since preempted either Clinton’s China hands, particularly Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, or Geithner’s team from taking primacy over US-China policy.
The shift to a strategy of engagement with Biden at the top, orchestrated by Donilon, allows the US to deal with China’s likely next president from a Vice President to a Vice President/Next President status — and to continue both the Departments of State’s and Treasury’s ongoing engagement with other designated key Chinese leaders...
After President Obama’s 2008 presidential win, the original intention of the White House was to focus the Vice President primarily on domestic matters — telling this writer at the time to remember that Joe Biden had recently been featured in Working Mother magazine...
However, Joe Biden quietly took on national security tasks that were key to President Obama and that needed more off the newspaper front page handling...
Biden also played a leading role — along with Defense Secretary Bob Gates — in the “Russia reset.”
And whether Iraq’s democratic-appearing government survives or not, the person who did more than any other behind the scenes to broker the deals and to play communications envoy between factions of Iraq’s fractured political order was Joe Biden...
While this writer thinks he should be the person who does for US-Afghanistan policy what he did in the US-Iraq case, a topic for another day, Biden’s next big task will be the next phase evolution of US-China policy.

18 Aug 2011: NYT: Cooperation Emphasized as Biden Visits China
by Edward Wong
It was Mr. Biden’s first trip to China since taking office. A main purpose of the trip, which includes three full days of meetings in Beijing and the western city of Chengdu, is for Mr. Biden and other American officials to build a relationship with Vice President Xi Jinping, who is expected to become China’s leader next year. On Thursday, Mr. Biden had two meetings with Mr. Xi in the Great Hall of the People and attended a dinner hosted by Mr. Xi...
Mr. Biden spoke nostalgically of his first visit to China in 1979, when he was a senator. Before he could finish his opening remarks, which had been prepared for officials and journalists to hear, Chinese security officers forcefully shoved foreign reporters and some White House employees from the meeting room. It was unclear whether there had been some sort of misunderstanding for the disturbance, rare during such a high-level meeting, but American officials declined to comment on the matter...

VIDEO: 10m43s: 19 Oct: Fox News: Meadows teases Biden family connection with Romania to surface ‘in the days to come’
Money from Romania, Ukraine and China appears to be ‘flowing to the Biden family broadly,’ White House Chief of Staff tells FBN

“I find it fascinating that some of the monies that appear to be flowing to the Biden family broadly come from Romania, from Ukraine, and from China, the very three countries that Joe Biden was special envoy to [as vice president],” Meadows told host Elizabeth MacDonald...

(4) We are preparing much bigger dumps off of the hard drive from hell, of which Joe Biden will be unable to defend or hide from. I have the receipts.— Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) October 21, 2020
GREATEST OCTOBER SURPRISE EVER.
Maybe so, but...
Your average voter can’t make sense of all this, and will disregard it.
Your average Dim voter has been told it’s Russia, and will disregard it.
Your average Rep voter is already voting for Trump, because screw all that other nonsense, at least we know our current evil, this is just more proof, and disregard it.
And then there’s us.
And no one will be prosecuted, hung, or quartered. What difference, at this point, does it make.
I will be !@#$ing ecstatic if I’m wrong.
This is Hunter’s business partner coming out by naming himself and saying not only did the great Joe Biden know about the money deals, he participated in them and took in millions and is lying! This is huge.
This statement blows this story wide open. Now you don’t need the FBI to confirm the emails are genuine. One of the parties of the emails just confirmed it and all China wanted was access. This is unbelievable! Biden may be trying to get out of the debate tonight.
I agree.
Sadly, way too many people follow what comes out of the democrat media’s pie holes.
But, maybe, just maybe our side can “Trumpet” this story across the finish line and save America.
Even if Biden wins, Trump is POTUS until Jan. 20. Justice could still be carried out.
Ignition and LIFT OFF.
Every voter understands pay for play. There is nothing the slightest bit complex about it.
And Independents will certainly take account of this before voting and even some more honest Democrats.
The “good” Democratic presidents are spinning in their graves. I can’t imagine Truman doing this (he drove his own car home to Missouri after he left office), nor FDR (didn’t need the money and did a very credible job as a wartime president) nor JFK (didn’t need money and for all his faults, was interested in protecting this country). Biden is a bum - a thieving, cheating bum who promoted the interests of a country that has a 4-1 trade advantage with the US, stole tens of billions worth of US product designs, and undercut this country every chance it got.
Everything you said is exactly true.
The Democratic Party of today is every bit as bad as the Soviet Communist Party in the days of Stalin.
Same tactics, with total disregard for the rule of law and ready to use violence, death and intimidaion against political enemies. Plus using the state intelligence agencies to terrorize, murder, imprison and persecute their enemies.
