From late September through to mid-October, Americans will get to watch Donald Trump and Joe Biden debate three times. Mike Pence and Kamala Harris will face off once. The debates may not matter, but if one candidate is going to commit a significant gaffe, it likely would occur in one of televisual spectacles. Brace yourselves.
Both parties already are trying to shape expectations before the debates begin. On that front, Trump and his allies have made a major mistake. For months Americans have been inundated with claims from Trump, his son and countless media allies that Biden suffers from some type of mental deficiency such as dementia.
If Old Joe actually shows up, it will make the Nixon Debate in the 60's look tame by comparison. Any bets that the Adulteress will rush the stage to come to Joe's defense?

The Trump campaign must not lower expectations for Joe, and the President needs to be thoroughly prepared for anything that comes up, especially since the media will pounce on anything they can to make him look bad.

It is almost a certainty as to what will happen during the debate.
The only thing that remains in question is how the media will apply their journalistic gymnastic jargon to declare Joe Biden was clearly the winner.

Don't agree. Consider why the Rats have been desperately hiding Joe from being exposed. There is a big price to pay. But they are paying it. The biggest impact will be when millions will get a first hand and prolonged look at how frail, weak, unfit and unready Biden is for the highest office of the land. Trump doesn't have to do anything. Secondly, Biden's greatest weakness is that he cannot handle criticism or ridicule. Trump is simply too smart to give up that opportunity.

I do not understand how Trump and his allies have gotten Biden to act like he has dementia. All this talk is great but there will be no Biden debates.

There won't be any debates. There is still a good chance that Groping Joe won't even finish the campaign.

30 years ago they made a prophetic movie called "Awakenings" that was loosely based on a future ole Joe who, given enough drugs, can actually appear non-catatonic for short stretches at a time. Thing is, though, even with increased dosages, the drug's efficacy wears off . . . . and the gaffe machine from Delaware shuffles back to his basement.

Easy. As the debate is about to begin, some sort of threat will be announced. Resultantly, debate canceled and dims will proclaim no more debates as they are too dangerous.

How can any reasonable Democrat operative think Biden debating Trump on national TV is a good idea? There must be a plan. There always seems to be a plan. Dems will either prevent the debates from happening somehow or they will set them up in separate locations and give Biden enough lag time so that his handlers can type his answers/responses into his teleprompter. What Trump and his allies DON'T NEED TO DO is attack Biden's mental state to such an extent that Joe can actually garner sympathy with a half-dead performance.

The woman who cuts my hair believes that on the eve of the first debate, Biden's staff will announce that their boss has been "exposed" to the virus, thus will have to undergo immediate and extensive quarantine.

Biden will collapse while hiking in the woods with Hillary before the first debate. Come Allah will step in, riding on her experience as a vice-presidential contestant for nearly 90 days. Stormy Daniels will be her running mate and Oprah will moderate all two dozen debates.

Let's not forget that Chris Wallace has the first debate. He based every single one of his Sunday programs this year around a Trump quote he didn't like from the previous week. I can see his first questions now: "Mr. President, why can't you say black lives matter?" and "Mr. Vice-President, why are you so angry at President Trump?"

#12, in response PDT could say, “Why don’t you ask 0bama why he could never say “Islamic Terrorism”?

Certainly possible, #8. Even more cynically they will allow the debate to begin. Biden will get the first question and answer superbly, according to Dems and reporters, with his teleprompter provided answer, of course. PT will get a gotcha question that he will not be allowed to answer completely, before the interruption of the debate occurs at the moment that looks worst for the president.
However all scenarios are contingent on how much Biden’s mental state deteriorates between now and then. If it’s very bad we will hear about some sort of threat that cancels the debate, and likely any other public appearances, before Biden ever leaves his basement.
#10, I heard a conservative radio host make a similar prediction. Bottom line for all of is that Dems, with the help of the “news” media, have some kind of plot ready for whatever their need may be to prevent the truth from being shown, or to explain it away with more lies.

Nothing, since ol' gropin Joe will be nothing more than a cardboard cutout with a microphone connected to his handlers in the basement...

They'll pump Biden so full of Adderall the day of the debate he'll be able to pull off an adequate performance. Biden handed Paul Ryan his lunch years ago.

What will happen without Biden's teleprompter?!! He can't seem to speak without reading the words before him.

Agreed with #4 but it's a bit beyond that. Combative outbursts are a classic dementia symptom. Joe is truly inventive in that respect. Until he came along I had never in my relatively long life heard the expression " Lying Dog Faced Pony Soldier" What exactly does that mean ? With Trump's sense of timing he will kick Joe off on a rant and stand back and smile. Debates highly unlikely at which point the Dems won't be able to steal a vote.

Joe is so unpredictable that I believe his handlers are scared to death to let him debate.
He will come down with the virus in a couple of weeks for sure.

There haven't been any TV debates since Nixon Kennedy. The Q&A format is not a debate. These TV shows are hyped-up media gotcha sessions to smear the GOP candidate. I would be happy to see them go away forever. If I was a candidate for public office I would insist on a real debate. No "monitors", no questions. Just a timekeeping device that shuts off the microphone after the allotted time elapses .
