Quick poll on DUer predictions for the upcoming debates

[NRaleighLiberal]

Joe Biden's probability lead on 538 has him at 77 percent chance, which has been quite stable for some days. Princeton has Joe at 350 EVs, give or take a few.

1. If there are any debates between the Con & Biden, there will only be one.

And I think the Con is trying hard to get out of that one, too.

11. The first debate is in a few days.

If he was going to try to get out of it, he would have by now.

14. If he bombs the first one, he will try to

get out of the second one

2. Trump will back out citing some weak shit about rigged debate.

5. +1 n/t.

[Coleman]

3. They will be given the same question to answer

but Trumpster will be answering a question that wasn't asked.

[OregonBlue]

6. When that happens Joe needs to ask him why he won't answer the question. Is it because he doesn't

know the answer or because he's afraid to tell the American people the truth. Hammer him on the fact that he never gives a straight answer about anything. Either because he can't because he's so ill informed or because the truth will be bad for him.

7. SergeStorms is on DU, also Serge A Storms. His sidekick too.

I must have missed your previous posts.

4. This will cement the vote against Trump...he will look really bad so indies and even some pugs who

may now be planning to vote for him may not do so. I hope Biden hammers him on the economy as well as other issues.

15. Beat him over the head with

how he downplayed the virus, continues to hold rallies; said that “virtually nobody has died”; and “it is what it is”

Also add some random story about a small family own business that had to close after 50 years because of Trump and now the family has lost everything and is on the verge of eviction

8. Hate to say this

but trump is a bullshitter conman so advantage him. He will lie and lie and Joe will at least have to address some of those lies which will eat up some of his time. It's so tricky debating a con man.

I trust Joe. Fingers crossed.

10. Yes. But in 2016 trump could stand up.

In 2016 he didn’t run away when I got asked a tough question.

On 2016 Dump wasn’t intimidated by a woman.

In 2020 he needs TelePrompTers and a chair. He can’t walk across the room without looking like an old fat man.

He also sucks at answering and the whole world is hip to his schtick.

9. Debates do very little to sway voters minds. Do an internet search and you find a whole page of

Articles all in agreement.

[LakeArenal]

12. 🇺🇸 Good morning.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Typically I'd agree, but we are in uncharted waters with orange asshole

[SKKY]

16. In the low 80s, but I think it will have an impact...

...I expect Joe to mop the floor with Trump.

[FakeNoose]

17. Republicans will be listening, Joe can reach out and win a few over

Yes he can win a few over ... there are some disgruntled voters out there. If Joe says the right things he can drive a wedge in and change people's minds. It won't be easy, but at least he can create some doubts in a few minds.

Chump has lost a lot of support in the past year, and many more are starting to wonder. The screaming assholes can't be reached, but Joe has a chance with reflective, thoughtful Americans. Not every Republican voter is a greedy racist asshole. A lot are saying or thinking, "Enough!"

Don't forget that almost 50% of American voters are unaffiliated with either party. If anyone can do this, JOE BIDEN can!
