Will Biden Survive the First Debate?

The first presidential debate is next Tuesday, and I don't see Biden surviving. His campaign has been playing "hide the Crypt-Keeper" since spring, occasionally proving to the public that he's still ticking by having him tussle with a teleprompter while "objective journalists" participate in make-believe interviews. Biden's cognitive decline is now so steep that he begins reading pre-written answers to pre-written questions, forgets what he's doing halfway through, and settles for stringing syllables together that sound English-y in a non–native speaker sort of way. He is a man forever in search of a thought but finding none, while the press corps propping up his campaign pretends otherwise. All I hear when Old Joe speaks is Grampa Simpson saying, "If I'm not back at the home by nine, they declare me legally dead and collect my insurance." That might be his best excuse for getting out of the debate in Cleveland. If America sees the real "Sundown" Joe after dusk, this race is over.

Don't do it, Joe! Getting murdered on national television is no way to end a 47-year career as a Washington welcome mat. It would be better to concede the contest right now than to endure the beating coming your way. Even if he plays nice, President Trump is going to smack you around so viciously that you'll forget that China's Xi is your real daddy. You'll leave the debate stage looking more charred than a Kenosha business after a BLM "peaceful protest." Better to get in the ring with UFC fighter Colby Covington and endure his beating than take what President Trump has on tap. Run, Joe, run! You don't want what's coming.

He’ll be doped up, and turn on that Joker smile, and keep saying “200,000 dead,” and the press will declare him glorious and victorious.

“Getting murdered on national television is no way to end a 47-year career as a Washington welcome mat.”

Why? He deserves no better.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Based upon the yard signs, I would think Joe Biden might come in third behind Donald Trump and Firewood For Sale.”

That would be a great tagline for the next few weeks.

[Fido969]

Is Biden flashing a “white power” sign there?

[Sacajaweau]

I say he walks off...Pulls the same crap that Hillary pulled when Lazio got in her space when she was running for the Senate.

In the end, I'm glad she won the Senate seat because we learned a lot about her.

Democrats figure the debates are irrelevant....... they're spending all their time TRYING to steal the election.

Yeah....they figure Joe is a "shoo-in" ....just like Hillary....cackle.

[Chode]

yup...

[pepsionice]

I’ve said since Feb, that Biden would not make it to the first debate....so I’m kinda shocked how close we are. His dementia, if you measure from early March to now....has progressed a good bit. If he did win in November, I don’t think he’d be capable of lasting more than six months in office before he’d have to retire, and Harris becomes the President.

[R_Kangel]

...... My theory is that the Democrats are limiting the public appearances by Biden to minimize his media exposure because it is probably necessary to Juice Up uncle Joe to improve his mental capabilities before he goes before the cameras. It is possible that the more that he is juiced up the less effective the drugs become so they are rationing out the use so that they can get the maximum effect from the juice for the debates (If they do actually happen that is)

[HamiltonJay]

As much as it’s obvious Biden iOS suffering from the early stages of dementia, don’t get your hopes up that he will completely flub the debates.

They’ll have him so pumped up on amphetamines or other things, he probably won’t fall apart.

However, Biden has always had a insecurity and a temper... Trump should work on playing those. Whenever Biden loses his temper it bites him, has throughout his career.

If Biden loses his cool he’s done, and that would be true even if he wasn’t suffering from dementia.

>>His campaign has been playing “hide the Crypt-Keeper” since spring<<

OK, no matter who you are that is FREAKING HILARIOUS!!

[Leaning Right]

Biden can win the first debate if all of the following conditions occur:

1. He is given the questions ahead of time.
2. He is wearing an earpiece.
3. He is pumped up with alertness drugs.

I expect all three of these conditions to occur. So yes, there’s a good chance Biden can win the first debate.

[Kahuna]

Biden will test positive for the covid virus by this Friday and will be forced out of the debate(s).

[Jeff Chandler]

That would be a great tagline for the next few weeks.

You're welcome to it. I stole it, so can you.

Edited version:

“Based upon yard signs, Biden is running third behind Donald J Trump and Firewood For Sale.”

[ALASKA]

I love watching their polls. I’ve been a firm believer in all political polls since Hillary’s glorious, poll-predicted victory in 2016!

[Liz]

LOL......good one.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The media is now in “lowering expectations” mode. In the upcoming debate, if Biden is able to form complete sentences without drooling or wandering off the media will declare that he was a complete success.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I still don’t believe Joe will show.

[ripnbang]

If they do that, Trump should get the networks to keep the dates and show up and be a one person debate. Put a cardboard cutout of Biden (wouldn’t be any different) and answer all the question from the panel.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Trump should just offer to debate Kamala Harris - she would be the real President, anyway.
