How Should Biden handle Trump's lies during the debate [View all]

Trump is not anything a furious liar ... He is a veritable lying machine.

Regardless of what else happens during the debate - an avalanche of lies on the Bullshit Mountain is as good as money in the bank.

How should Biden react to it?
