A New York Times columnist has urged likely Democratic nominee Joe Biden not to debate President Trump in the fall. Most voters think that’s a bad idea, although only just over half believe Biden is even up to debating Trump given ongoing questions about his mental health.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters think Biden is capable of debating the president. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree and say he is not capable of such a debate. Another 11% are not sure.

The actual question is whether Biden is capable of winning a debate against the president. Clearly, no.
Odds are minimal that Biden could stay awake through a debate, and even lower that he could find the correct podium, even if Trump was already standing behind the other one.

What? 54% thinks he can debate Trump. Where are these people, in a closet? Just watch and listen to Biden and anyone in their right mind would know that he is not capable to debate with anyone. I hope if there is a debate, President Trump is sympathetic to his mental condition. I'm sure President Trump knows and will handle this in a proper way.

This poll is as fake as the poll that has biden some 900 points ahead of the President. But hey, if you can lie with 52% believing he's capable, it should be hard for biden and his team to back out of the debates, right? Wait, no one will remember this fake stat when the back out decision is made. Dang, I forgot, these are leftists.

Trump walks a fine line in any interaction with Biden. He could easily come across as a bully who is tormenting a very sick man. I agree with #2. Trump is astute enough to handle this untenable situation properly.

Our debates are not debates but rather gotcha questions for the Republican candidate and softball questions for the Dems. So, President Trump will be asked why so many of his associates and national security advisor were prosecuted by the Mueller team while Joe Biden will be asked “Will you, as president, continue the enviable “not a single scandal” record of glorious and wondrous Obama”. Since Biden will have his questions in advance, he’ll simply have to say “President Obama and I are proud of fact that we didn’t have a single scandal* in 8 years, and come on man, I will continue that or something.”
* - not a single scandal avoids having to address the multiple Obama scandals, from the attempted coup and FISA perjuries to Uranium One, gun running, Pigford and so much more.

Still not having finished my coffee I read the 54% as 4%. And actually believed it!

Biden's worst blunders came during run-of-the-mill campaign events. With COVID-19 around he can stay safely muzzled and bound in a white suit whenever voters are nearby.

A lot of the media is going to be really embarrassed when Hillary ends up being the nominee. Who in their right mind thinks that Biden will ever stand on the same debate stage with President Trump? In fact, it would be impossible for him to even pull it off remotely.

If Biden is ever called upon to debate PDJT, his people will delay it until the last possible moment, then he will magically contract Covid-19, and the Media will be kept busy covering his valiant struggle with the disease, and his miraculous recovery just in time for Election Day.

My prediction: Biden's team is going to raise conditions and terms for his participation in any debates, such as, (1) done remotely with no audiences, (2) questions must be presented in advance, and (3) media may have experts acting as fact-checkers to responses in real time (already proposed). Trump of course will rightly refuse these terms. Then they will claim that Trump has chickened out of the debates, declare that Biden has defeated Trump's positions already so no more need to even debate.

I don’t know where they found this 54% but in the DNC and Congress it is more like zero. Due to the covid drama Trump will be in the Oval Office and Biden will be in his basement. Optically it will look like a high school student council president trying to debate Scalia on the fine points of the law. Biden’s handlers will make a huge effort to make sure there are no debates. Count on it.

Biden is incapable of thinking on his feet. Make that: Biden is incapable of thinking. That's not the problem. The problem is that the press will lie, cheat and steal on his behalf and the dead voters will come out in droves. If there was a level playing field we'd see a landslide. We may still see a landslide. Pray for a landslide.

Policy wonks have known for centuries that to get a specific response, a polling question has to be worded exactly right, proper weight given each word and in which order. Thus the modern proverb: Live by the poll, die by the poll.

The unorthodox Trump will always flummox even the best debater. Look what he did to Lyin’ Ted in ‘16? And to Crooked PIAPS. Imagine what he’ll do to the corpse Joe Bidet; it will be entertaining to watch, that’s for sure!

Biden could always win on the sympathy vote after Trump rips him to shreds since most of his followers are driven by emotion and little else. That said, the poll numbers are ridiculous. I believe that the majority of people such as myself do not answer unknown phone callers and do not fill out the silly Internet and e-mail polls so their responses are overwhelmingly skewed to the left.

Really 54% ? There's two ways the President could approach this 1) do minimal speaking finish the answers quickly then let Biden have the floor. 2) When Biden is speaking make faces, roll your eyes make gestures it's what Biden did to Paul Ryan in debates so turn around is fair play. Let Biden the buffoon answer like those softball questions he couldn't about the virus and employment it was cringe worthy to watch. The guy has lost it but then he never had it he's a low IQ idiot.

Only? That 54% think that Biden can debate a soup can tells me that 54% have lost their minds, just as has Biden.

I think if I had been asked the question i would say yes he is capable. Not that he could answer even one question just yes he can stand there and babble like a baby. Clint Eastwood showed us what it might be like with his empty chair skit.

China Biden has dementia. As a younger man he had two operations for brain aneurisms. Sleepy Joe is not playing with a full bag of marbles.

54% is an inflated number. I think only 10% believe that Joe is capable of debating Donald.

Would the democrats insist that Jill be at the podium with Joe, to help him answer? Biden is lost without her by his side.
The moderators would be laughed out of the room for the obvious and gross softball questions they asked him. I'm sure the democrats would arrange to have the questions in advance again, so Jill could practice with Joe.

Biden will completely decompose on a traditional debate stage with Trump.

Omitted from this story is the poll response that 94% think Joe will soil his Depends before the first break. Ì would love to see the backdrop for the debate as a full scale photo of the back of a high school gymnasium!

The headline is an obvious misprint. It should read: only 54 people think Biden capable of debating Trump. Or maybe: only people with an IQ of 54 think it.

Fox news reaches only about 1% of the population. Rush Limbaugh with 55 million listeners reaches less than 20%. The rest only hear or see very carefully cherry picked Joe Biden sound bites. There are moments when he is coherent. Though usually his pronouncements are merely strings of meaningless platitudes they sound nice and are soothing to the huge numbers of people conditioned to be terrified of everything by the press, the public schools and the universities.
The big search engines somehow consistently lose track of items that reflect negatively on Biden and the left while highlighting the negative about Trump and any conservative. I am sure they have no idea how that happens.
Finally, if some random person calls you on the phone, are you going to tell them what you really think about Biden? You don't really know who is calling. These days it could be someone making a list of which houses to set on fire. Or looking to dox you to that liberal company that (for now) employs you.

Someone sharper than me made a post that said it very well:
"Biden's brain is like a computer.
Nineteen tabs are open.
Seventeen are frozen.
And he has No Idea where the Music is coming from."

Dead serious. Biden hasn't formulated his running platform. He hasn't looked at the landscape and learned what the issues really are. He, out of the box, has no plan. Now. Factor in his obvious mental issues and the guy as a snowballs chance in San Diego of keeping up with the average debater. Now comes PDJT. Crimany, I'm an average guy, I'm not pure anything and I have contradictions that I deal with, but if I had to take a contrary position with PDJT? I'd be doing my homework! I don't believe Biden will do a debate without 'aid'. I honestly believe he will pull a Hillary! and sneak an earpiece under some guise. His handlers have to control him ( I do pity those who thought they could 'handle PDJT at the beginning..that must have hurt).
There will be 'reasons' Biden cannot debate PDJT in person. If he does it will be without an audience.

It's not really about Biden,...it's really about who is going to be his VP running mate. I don't know why the Dims are really doing this. Can they really be so stupid as to think that Sleepy Joe is really POTUS material. They have to know and believe that Biden is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and is incapable of serving even 6 months as POTUS.
Are the so called average American's really going to vote for an obviously ill man? Would they also really vote for a nasty witch like Kamela Harris or a know nothing/done nothing nobody like Stacey Abrams
