Regardless of Biden’s performance trumps bar is so low if he doesn’t sh!t himself on stage the talking heads will say he appeared Presidential. Even if he does they’ll call it a tie.
If you want to talk health, look at facts. Trump has the most sedentary lifestyle possible for a “tough” guy, and his diet consists of “hamberders” and giant steaks. Biden rides a bike (yeah he tipped over once – I’d love to see Trump even try), and has been traveling widely, meeting with world leaders (and probably not even once boring them with details about his money).
Most would agree the choice is not what we deserve. But, having said that, there is no equivalence between the two. A well meaning bumbler or a lifelong con man and narcissistic sociopath.
Biden’s approach to debate preparation involves dedicating a week to study intensively, aiming to present his ideas effectively and anticipate Trump’s responses for effective rebuttal, with the objective of impressing voters with his ability to lead.
Trump’s version of debate prep is to pick fights with as many people who will be present as possible, since he knows there is no possibility of impressing anyone, and his only hope is to keep his MAGAts deluded by claiming his ineptitude is actually bias against him. And, when this is your definition of debate prep saying that you are going to lose on purpose is redundant.
This one, if I understand it correctly is an appropriate indictment of our society. We have reached this terrible place through years of all the worst qualities of people, from lust for power, to greed to fear, hatred, stupidity and outright laziness. And I include myself. I have let time sap my activism and weaken my desire to make the world a better place. I may watch the debate, but only out of morbid curiosity.

CNN must deliver massive media advertising revenue for 2 debates.
Both candidates must survive the 1st debate or their VP must take their place for the 2nd debate.

I’m curious to see how RFK Jr is going to merge his responses with those of Biden & Trump, thereby creating a virtual 3-way debate.

If I were a betting man I’d bet Biden will live longer than some political pundits. He already thinks clearer than many.

If this debate changes any actual minds of real-life voters, it will be the first time in 20 years or more.
