Here is the transcript:

It illustrates that it would be a huge mistake for Trump to get on a debate stage with Biden at this point, but we all know that his limitless ego has led him to make many foolish choices and say many ridiculous things over the years. He simply can't resist having a venue to run his mouth.
No. It COULD have been a tour de force if he had proudly shown the world his hairy legs..

But your poll didn't mean much, to have a legitimate poll you need to have a cross section of the population including different political affiliations, ages, religion etc. I didn't even see your poll, that's not meant to be an insult but rather the reality of who will take the time to read and vote in your poll.

Of course, that ignores the ugly divisiveness and hate that was pervasive throughout the speech. Not to mention the lies...
umm yeah ugly divisiveness, maybe like this?

Biden likes to debate. He won't back out of one that's been scheduled- he's more likely to request a debate than back out of one.

He's good at it too. Never forget Biden has been doing this kind of work for over 30 years. He's faced more formidable debaters than Trump before, and since they already debated once in 2020, Biden has Trump's number now and knows how to get the best of him in a one to one.

Any internet poll in which the responders do so on their own is useless. There's nothing random about it, and there's no guarantee that enough would respond anyway to make it statistically significant. Such polls are just for fun.

I suspect if a can of Red Bull did the trick, he'd would down a can before every public appearance. No, Biden has the best medical care in the world and wherever he was on it was carefully measured. However, I also suspect it's not something his doctor recommend he take too often. A STOU speech, a debate, sure but that's about it.

With regards to a debate: He won't be reading from a teleprompter and there's always the risk he files off the rails - talking a mile a minute and making little sense.

By the time they have the debates Trump will hardly be able to focus. He will be so pre-occupied with his legal trouble a few trigger words from Biden will send Trump into the stratosphere. I see him walking off and blaming the lefty media for being unfair.

Perfect then. So glad to see you want them to debate. Why hasn't Biden agreed? Given his "fiery" SOTU speech and how brilliant he is, he should schedule as many debates as he can.
