    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Seth Mandel

    Biden's ahead, debates are a risk, & he's poorly equipped for them. But Trump is not exactly Daniel Webster, & incumbents almost always underperform in the first debate. Also sets a bad precedent to just run from them.https://twitter.com/SethAMandel/status/1290298160540078080 …

    Stop encouraging Biden to back out of the debates, you're not helping him. He does perfectly well in debates even if he's lost a step, and anyway don't goad him into acting like he's hiding something. The debates are theater, Biden knows the game, stop freaking out.

        They have, but likely not since 1988. Or the Clinton years, at most.

        I'm old enough to recall when the press set expectations for Biden debating Sarah Palin so low that when he exceeded them somewhat, they crowned him the victor. They'll do the same against Trump.

        Unless Biden shows up in the nude there is nothing the debate is going to do to sway me from voting for him. I know what both men are at this point. The debate is meaningless.

        I think he should debate. I also think Trump should release the last 7 years of his tax returns. I think it sets a band precedent for him not to do so.

        Biden should just repeat everything trump says back at him in a funny voice. Maybe with a kazoo. There is no one anywhere who can debate a shameless liar. All they can do is make their own points and not touch the toxic bait laid at their feet.

        You say this as if Biden is not a shameless liar, a well-documented one for decades.

        Historically, debates might give a candidate a temporary bounce, but there is little data supporting the conclusion that they have a material affect on the outcome. I doubt these debates will enlighten the public in any meaningful way. But they should happen anyway.

        He should do them. At least 2-3 of them, but he has to balance that with the old saying: “Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself.”
