but this is who Democrats opted to stick with, even though his lack of depth in this job could be exposed brutally on Thursday if Trump plays his cards right.

Trump will take it easy on Joe and he'll go after "fake news" aka CNN.

Still too close. Moreover, too easy for any surprise to change things and at the close vote margin, this could swing wildly. Always an October surprise to watch out for and still 132 days to go.

Spurious analysis intended to set up the left for another round of mayhem and disruption.

In what universe without even more obvious fraud does Brandon have any chance of taking the popular vote? (Illegals aren’t supposed to vote, so I include their impending compound crime as part of the fraud)

I’m tempted to think you’re right. I read somewhere it’s the Biden college of idiots prep strategy to get Biden to aggravate Trump- evil orange man goes off. Ultra easy strategy to sidestep. I say upend the whole thing by announcing the VP choice, then answer the most slanted questions by quoting the “moderators” past statements about him

Trump needs to ignore Biden, refuse to “respond” to anything he says, and just state his own talking points and consistent attacks on the border, crime, corruption and global wars and instability.

Media keeps saying that the goal is to get Trump to lose control, but Biden has a decades long history of snapping at people, yelling etc. Biden is the one who comes off unhinged to me.

The reasons the models are experiencing upheaval is because of the partisan mix.

Look it up. Most polls are clearly showing the GOP and Dems as fringe 27% parties vs Independents who are 45ish%.

Then the response from the lazy who don’t want to create new models is to declare that Independents are not Independents and actually lean. Independents are not independent because their attitudes are between left and right and live their lives as unable-to-decide moderates.

That’s not the way the world of Independents has evolved to be. They care very little about issues that would place them in some middle. Rather, they care about entirely different issues that are driving reality this time. Drain the Swamp is a powerful attitude and it is pointed at both parties. Get rid of the party hierarchies by rejecting incumbents.

This is driving the numbers this time. It’s why Biden has lost about 5% of the alleged popular vote edge of 2020, during which he polled up 7% and actual numbers were 5%.

That is erased. THIS is why the battlegrounds show the Trump lead.

Frankly, I am amazed Trump agreed to debate. He has nothing to gain.

“Trump will take it easy on Joe and he’ll go after “fake news” aka CNN.”

I hope so. It’s a winning formula.

Ronald Reagan was great at using the media as a foil.

Newt Gingrich got raves for going after the media during his presidential debate.

Vivek Ramaswamy destroyed the media (and the RNC) during his presidential debates.

Donald Trump toyed with Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly at FNC.

On the other hand, Mitt Romney got played by Candy Crowley and George Stephanopoulos but Mitt is a RINO so who cares.

That sounds like a good strategy. Allow Joetato to look as good as he can so as to give the Dems as little traction as possible to replace him.

They foisted this vegetable on the country they can ride his poop-stained arse to defeat in Nov.

Biden making a “comeback” at the debate?

What’s he coming back from? He’s never been anywhere........ except in his own addled brain.

Maybe he’s going to brag about his (gag) “accomplishments?”
<><>letting misfits and criminals pour over the border
<><>maiming transgender kids
<><>escalating the numbers of murders of unborn babies?
<><>bringing up a son who’s a disbarred, convicted felon and tax evader?

Electoral College probabilities:

Potato Joe 33.7%
President Trump 65.7%

?

This won’t be allowed to stand. What, nuclear war by September or October? They’re gonna need a BIG distraction.

I’m just joking.

Mostly.

Maybe...

War—it is true but no nukes (or limited tactical ones only) A Good World War shut down the net, knock out parts of the grid. Draft, war industries, Rationing of food and gas. Parades, war bonds. That will get the sheeple something to think about. Wait for the defeats as green woke Americans take on hardened Russians and North Koreans. This will make Bataan look like a picnic. Lots of folks will die.

Much to your dismay Thursday is just a debate, not the election.

Nate Silver said Hillary Clinton had a 90% chance of winning, did he not?

Don’t put any stock into what he says...even if it sounds good to us at any given time.
