I agree - I think the optics alone of a very old, frail Sleepy Joe Biden for 90 minutes in HD is going to be very damaging.

in the 08 debates, many commented on how old the RINO mccain looked compared to Obammy

there was a reason sleepy joe’s DNC convention speech was short.

They want the breaks every 30 minutes for the networks to spin Biden’s lies and missteps.

How about Diet Coke? IIRC, isn’t that POTUS’s favored beverage?

Here is my bet. He had writers come up with a few "zingers". Biden has been searing them into his (all too questionable) memory. Wallace will set them up. The press will play them in a loop, and that is all they will talk about as the MSM declares him the greatest debater since Lincoln.

The "zingers" will, of course be highly contrived and obvious, but that won't matter, even if Biden steps on his own lines.

I may be a bit slow today ... I think I just recognized that your original post could be interpreted as a joke towards Biden, as in 4th place would be optimistic for Biden. I’ve been crunching numbers (work), it takes over one-side of my brain.

Yep, I have listened closely to Biden, he's failing and won't be able to hide it for 90 minutes.

Biden may need to go to bathroom. Sometimes medications required going to the bathroom.

"Now hear this Biden (tap) (tap). I don't think the voters would think very kindly about what you are doing.

Now nod your head to show you can hear me.

Now repeat after me and say "I have decided to support Donald Trump for President so we can make America great again...."

Go ahead. Say it."

It’s very easy to have a machine somewhere that causes horrible interference with those devices that’s all they should need to use

Bottom line it doesn’t matter if Joe Biden is on drugs , or has an earpiece, or personally has Chrissy give him the questions and the answers

he still an idiot ; a senile idiot !!! and he’s going to get his ass stomped by our great and wonderful president

Summary: “Biden was solid and presidential”, “Trump was defensive and not presidential”, “Wallace was masterfully impartial”, “This debate shows why Biden has a large lead in this race”, “There really isn’t a reason for Biden to debate further”.

Exactly!

A preview:

Wallace: “On the topic of Race and Violence in our Cities, Mr. Trump, you have been called racist for viewing the peaceful protests in our cities as riots. What do you have to say to your critics?”

President DJT: “Multiple cities under Democratic leadership - Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and others - have been attacked by people who do not truly stand for the improvement of the communities and lives of our minority citizens. Instead, Antifa is a bunch of anarchists who want to destroy these communities for their own political goals. They regularly burn down and destroy businesses which make these communities thrive.

Our nation’s focus should be on stopping the riots and improving these minority communities. Under my administration, we have seen, prior to the China virus, a historic drop in Black unemployment rates. In large part due to the opportunity zones which were made into law as part of my tax reform - the most significant tax reform in history mind you - prior to the virus people were increasingly developing and building businesses in these areas, including with minority owned businesses. This economic development in turn helps improve the community and everyone in it. The China virus did set things back a little, but we are turning around and the economy is quickly rebounding under my policies. Better economic opportunities, as we have been bringing, will deliver peace to our cities and better lives for those living in them.”

Wallace: “Vice President Biden, a response?”

Biden: “Well, uh, you see. C’mon Man. Um the thing is the thing. Cities. um Race um. So, if you, if you, so here’s the thing. You know, the thing is, if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black. Black people are not diverse like Hispanic people. I’ve been dealing with race issues for years. Racial jungle. I’ve helped black people throughout my career with things like the crime bill. Um Strom Thurmond called me son. Trump is a racist. Desk lamp wife purple.”

Tomorrow’s NY Times: Our takeaway from last night’s debate- Trump extremely racist and Biden will make a great and level headed president... “Trump is a racist,” the former vice-president clarified, “I’ve helped black people throughout my career.”

Biden is just going to be a prop. The real debate will be between Wallace and Trump. Wallace will toss cotton balls lovingly to Biden while attacking Trump’s every response to the hard questions thrown at his head.

When Trump first gets on the stage he should ask Wallace whether or not Biden’s been given the questions in advance either by him or anyone on FOX such as Donna Brazille. He should then ask if Biden and his podium been checked for any electronic devices.
