New York Times Op-ed: ‘Let’s Scrap the Presidential Debates’

[Hotcakes]

No amount of preparation will do Trump any good. As his ghost writer often said, and as we have regularly seen, Trump cannot focus if his life depended on it. He just has his stock insults and imaginary facts. They are now threadbare and worn.

Are you a junkie.... ?!?! Biden don't need no "cognitive test" ...!!!

Recall how in one debate answer on segregation, Biden meandered through a reply that mentioned his wife and former wife; said we must “make sure that every single child does, does in fact, have 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds go to school [sic]”; and insisted social workers help parents raise kids.

He added: “Play the radio. Make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night.” He ended with a discussion of Venezuela.

I agree 100%. The best thing Trump could do in a debate would be to be quiet and have all of his homework done before he got there so he could quote the numbers accurately and succinctly. But he won't be able to get his ego under control.

Biden only has to bait him and talk as little as possible and he will come out looking much more palatable. This could quite possibly be the only debate in the history of the country where the person who gets to talk the least has the overall best chance!

Trump-loving media’s attacks on Joe Biden have all been epic flops so far: data

Pro-Trump media websites have been trying to pull the same trick on Joe Biden that they pulled on Hillary Clinton in 2016 — but so far, none of their attacks on the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee have gained traction.

Axios reports that data from right-wing news websites shows that reader engagement on three key anti-Biden stories — his alleged mental decline, his son Hunter Biden’s former job with Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and sexual assault allegations by Tara Reade — have all fizzled.

This lack of interest in Biden stories comes as Trump has struggled to settle on narrative about his presumptive opponent, whom he’s accused both of being a racist who wants to put Black Americans in jail and of being a wild-eyed radical who will let Black Lives Matter demonstrators lawlessly overrun American cities.

But of course...I wouldn't expect any less from these losers.

I enjoy the bullshit of the debates but let's be clear, they do not determine who is the better person for the White House. Candidates are overly prepped for weeks and hours on end and have 2 minutes to throw out soundbites. It is just who hits their bytes but nothing more.

They certainly can show who is not qualified.
