The "debates" well showcase Trump's lazy intellect, lack of preparation and cognitive challenges. Will they run a fact check banner advertising the bottom of the screen in real time?

Hmm, I wonder if someone will leak the questions to Biden like they did for Hillary last election.

Probably, since Biden could not even get through the last speech without having the news people pre-picked for soft ball questions.

Aren't you concerned about Trump's inability to get through softball questions in friendly interviews without telling lies and fabricating a dark shadows conspiracy theory? Aren't you concerned about Trump's apparent inability to stay on topic and use verifiable facts and evidence rather than feelings and fears?

Commission on Presidential Debates  isn't using the usual pool of moderators who've interviewed Trump/Biden over the years --cast wide selection to minimize question leaking.

Trump: "Portlands been burning for many years, decades even" Trump's claim about the "entire city" was wildly inaccurate. ...

'WE ARE NOT ABLAZE,' Portland fire department says after Trump falsely claims 'entire city' is on fire. Lt. Rich Chatman, a spokesman for Portland Fire & Rescue, said in a text message to CNN on Monday night. "There is a very isolated pocket of demonstrations that have involved fire, none of which has been substantial enough to need more than 1 fire engine."  These problems have largely been confined to a small area in the immediate vicinity of a federal courthouse...

CNN law enforcement correspondent Josh Campbell, a former FBI supervisory special agent who is reporting on the ground in Portland, tweeted that it is a "100% flat out lie."..

Kenosha: Blake Shooting

Quote

On Monday, Aug. 24 -- the day after Blake’s shooting — Gov. Tony Evers issued a statement saying that at the request of local officials, he had “authorized the Wisconsin National Guard to support local law enforcement in Kenosha County to help protect critical infrastructure and assist in maintaining public safety and the ability of individuals to peacefully protest.”

  • Covid-19
  • The Economy
  • Race and Violence in our Cities
  • The Integrity of the Election

All debates start at 9:00 p.m. ET and run for 90 minutes without commercial interruption.

I wonder if Trump has the temperament to prepare at all.
