Carville says the odds are 50/50 Trump will show up. I'm thinking it's a little higher, but I figured I'd ask what SW thinks

I don't remember the last time I saw an actual presidential debate, what they call debates today is usually a softball question to the favorite candidate of the media person "moderating" the debate then the other candidate has 30 seconds to reply then they start over again then they ask the candidate who isn't the favorite " what will you do to solve global warming , you have 10 seconds" and they go to their candidate and ask another softball question, a debate is two people given an issue and hashing it out
@FreeSpirit1 Bingo! What they mostly reveal is the media's bias.

@FreeSpirit1 Carville is already on record saying Biden is going to lose, and now I suppose he got orders from on socialist high telling him to get back to the old lie and deny game .
@FreeSpirit1 I think they both should joist for it, screw the debate.

I’ll bet a cookie the orange man doesn’t show, but (as always) blames everyone else for it.
@AbbySvenz It’s a given

Trump will show, but none of his answers will have anything to do with the questions. He will just go off on some kind of meandering rant, that has nothing to do with anything, and then he will proclaim that he won the debate.

@RockerDad 👍

He already said he might lose on purpose.
I think he'll show up, go off on one of his rants, feign outrage, and storm out.
@Carla IOW, throw a hissy fit
Northwest · M
Convicted Felon will be there, unless he violates parole. His campaign is putting the final touches on his victory speech.
@Northwest Nelson Mandela?

I think it's more than 50-50 that Carville has gone senile. 🙄

But my biggest question about the debate is that with CNN partisan moderators like Tapper and Bash (who will do everything they can to help Biden), what guarantee do we have that Biden will not have been fed the questions beforehand?

Since there can be no such guarantee, the only fair thing to do is to provide the questions to both candidates beforehand.

I think the Ragin' Cajun is onto something. I think Trump will find an excuse to pull out. They already are trying to make excuses like the false narrative that "Biden will use a chair and that wasn't agreed upon".
TexChik · F
If Trump will show up? Unless prevented by a psycho judge he will definitely be there. The question is… will Joe show up?
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@TexChik

They both pretty much have to show up. But don't worry about old Joe... his handlers will have juiced him up with time-release amphetamines.
You are over simplifying this. Neither will decline but one or the other will rant about the other not living up to the agreed on arrangements which will be characterized as the other refusing to debate as agreed upon.

Haaa … this brings up the question of who is LSU’s most embarrassing alumnus? James Carville or Donna Brazile?
@Heartlander I don't think he's an LSU alum.
@MistyCee You are right, it was Hubert Humphrey that got his masters there in political science.
@MistyCee I stopped by the campus 5 or 6 years ago after 35 or 40 years. Almost everything new to replace my memory. New was a visitor's center near the entry by old Tiger Town where they had a list of famous graduates. Today's list probably now includes Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne.

oh no...Trump is chomping at the bit to show just how demented and senile Biden really is. That is a fact. Trump wanted the debates. i bet Biden has flash cards, a handler and a teleprompter not to mention easy questions. It is skewed but you can bet Trump will be there.
@MistyCee I hope he makes it. He has good comments though I don't think he will be able to get more than a flicker of attention.
@akindheart Yep. All e has to do is act presidential and limit his jabs at the moderators to 10% or less of his time. An use the words "we" and "us" more than "I" and "me" :)
akindheart · 70-79, F
@Heartlander true. i just saw him in person last week. he started out positive and went for the jabs.

Well...it was shown another man wearing a biden mask during his interview.

I guess the artist for the CIA should do better next time.
Huffpost 🤣
@NoThanksLeon I mention Carville and you laugh about the Huffpost?
@MistyCee No, I'm just laughing at your unbiased source, HuffPo. I like Carville. Always have.
@NoThanksLeon Well, FWIW, Carville inspired me to do the poll.

If Trump shows up its for his funeral because Joe is gonna give him a lesson in politics.

@Patriot96 and if he does well? It'll be drugs, right?
Let's see how many questions on policy trump can answer without somehow turning those questions to him, personally.
Maybe a bit about the seventeen!! million illegal immigrants.
Actual issues that affect the people, he'll have no answers for.
Or...he'll storm out. Im thinking that.
Of course tRUMP will debate President Biden—just like he testified on his own behalf in Manhattan because “he was completely innocent”…

Oh…wait a second…
RockerDad · M
@KunsanVeteran you think TRump will pass up an opportunity to hear himself talk?
@RockerDad Yeah, because he can have his microphone cut and he knows he might (I.e. will!) incriminate himself.
RockerDad · M
@KunsanVeteran I’m sure he will, but he can’t control himself.
PatKirby · M
Trump won't hold back and is going to call him on his senility right out of the gate. Something like asking Biden "who's running the country since you're clearly decrepit, feeble-minded and mentally confused?" Biden's ratings will go straight down immediately. It'll be like a high school football team getting mauled by the NFL Superbowl champs. I want to see it.

Do you think ol’ Tink is wearing a pair of these as she types?

JesseInTX · 51-55, M
He will be there
Zonuss · 46-50, M
We shall see. But most people have their minds already made up. ☺️
