Meet Joe Biden's chief debate guru
The Hill ^ | 09 27 2020 | AMIE PARNES

By the time Joe Biden takes the stage Tuesday night for his first debate with President Trump, he will have gone through dozens upon dozens of hours of preparation with a close group of advisers firing questions at him.

One of the main advisers leading the drills is Ron Klain, his longtime confidant and former chief of staff who isn’t officially on the Biden campaign, but knows the former vice president almost better than anyone.

“He knows Biden’s strengths and weaknesses to the letter,” said one longtime Biden aide. “No one can help Biden prepare for this moment better than Ron.”

Having Klain on the team and in debate prep comes at a critical time for Biden as the nation faces the potential of a deadly second wave in the coronavirus pandemic, and a politically divisive battle over Trump’s chosen successor to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.

Both issues will be central in Tuesday night's debate, and it just so happens Klain has a long history with both.

The 60-year-old served as the Obama administration’s Ebola czar, leading its response to the epidemic in late 2014 and early 2015.

He’s also a former Supreme Court law clerk who served as the chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and helped lead the team that won Ginsburg’s confirmation in 1993 in an overwhelming 96-3 vote.

In other words, he couldn’t be better placed to advise a candidate for a presidential debate, particularly this one.

“No, the democrats will lose in a landslide if Sleepy Joe goes unscripted, the man suffers advanced dementia.“

All the Democrats will vote for him no matter how his debate performance goes.

Even half of the Democrats will turn away in disgust if he chickens out

He’ll need to be tested for sure. He’ll have been drilled for so long he’ll be asleep before the first question unless he’s drugged.

I wouldn’t doubt they’re trying hypnosis along with meds to try to ‘stabilize him...
