Huckleberry: debate will be key turning point

... "I still think the key turning point is not going to be the convention," Huckabee said. "It’s going to be the debate. When those two guys are on stage together -- I've been on stage with Donald Trump in presidential debates -- I don't know if Joe Biden has any idea what he's getting into when that happens" ...

Every day it's a new turning point. What they're admitting is, right now, they're screwed and hoping for a miracle which is unlikely to happen. It's all they have to hold on to.

There you go again

Repeat that after every word salad answer.

Drive him nuts and reinforce that he’s just an incompetent lying sack of shit.

Over and over. Just repeat that every single time.

I'd never even think of suggesting that in any other election. I'm a huge fan of political debates. But against Donnie it's impossible to have an actual debate. It couldn't possibly approximate an honest exchange of ideas.

It would be just be an opportunity for Donnie to establish some wacky smears or insults or distractions. Another forum for his lies.

Biden's in the driver's seat now. Big lead, it's Donnie who needs to game-changing opportunity the debates allow.

Deny this to him and Donnie's done for.

of ideas. Trump is incapable of expressing anything honest, even if his life depended upon it. All that will happen is that Joe will be exposed to a series of lies and insults in a Gish gallop that makes it impossible for him to score any "points". Dummy will walk away with a series of made-for-morons soundbites that his campaign can flog 24/7 until election day. Joe should refuse to debate.

As long as he is prepared for the most outrageous, ridiculous, and insane lies imaginable.

Expect Donnie to make frothing-at-the-mouth accusations of pedophilia, of corruption, of ANYTHING under the sun. If Joe’s prepared to chuckle it off and pound fat-Donnie back, then he’ll be fine.

All donnies got are lies and accusations and conspiracies. So just visit a Qanon page for an hour before the debate and you know EXACTLY what two-scoops will spew at the debate. Be ready for that and Donnie has nothing. Nothing.

Interrupt the orange shit-gibbon. Talk over him. Drive him crazy. Donnie is bluster and lies.

Remind the world what it was like to have a sane human being in office. Promise not to rage tweet. Call out Donnie’s lies. Remind everyone of his lies last time. “Oh, like the time you promised you wouldn’t have time to golf as president? Remember that? It’s on tape. And how much more often have you golfed than the last 2 presidents combined? And don’t tell us it’s for exercise, because we can ALL see you’re not getting any of that.”

Biden doesn't need to win. He has to be energetic enough without coming across as too old to be president. Biden's lowest marks in polling are related to energy.

As always I'm looking at this as handicapper not cheerleader. It is foolish not to acknowledge the risks of the head to head comparison. Trump is going to be loud and try to come across as the dominant figure in the room.

Overall I wish we could use Hillary as a pinch debater. I wouldn't worry about Biden 2008 or 2012 but 77 is another matter.

During one of his opening sentences probably helped him in some swing states.

Hillary Clinton I do felt did good. I wasn't happy with the 2 choices after the primary but over the course of the 3 debates she turned me into an enthusiastic supporter.
