Prep for a debate? Why would Trump want to do that? It’s counter-intuitive in his world. And, honestly, all the hype surrounding tomorrow night’s first encounter between Donald and Joe is getting old, anyway. Trump’s gonna do what Trump’s gonna do.
Biden hopefully will be as prepared as anyone who “debates” Trump can be. I predict that at best it will be a draw; at worst it will be time wasted with no new learnings or insights, because it will just end up being attack and defend all night. Even if they somehow find time to discuss policy, it’ll just be a vomitorium of stats and accomplishments that will be questioned and doubted, regardless of whether or not they’re accurate. Made-for-TV, illusory, spongy substance, especially in Trump’s case.
Of course, the networks offer up the inside scoop regarding BIden’s strategy and Trump’s lack thereof. Networks do their best to make sure there are no secrets. It’s all a show, really. What are we going to learn that we don’t already know? Joe is old and trying really hard to seem younger and capable; Trump is old, and a convicted felon and an all-around incompetent blowhard. No wonder people are upset with their options.
Having said that, I’ll take Joe any day, if only because he comes across as a decent human being.
