Strangely enough, the Biden team doesn’t want to debate Trump so I’m wondering just how many will consider that as being a really good judgment call and how will they justify their decision?

I don't know that someone in the early stages of dementia, like Biden, would be able to debate anything effectively. The fact that his family hasn't pulled him out of the public spotlight and gotten him the help he obviously needs is downright cruel. And the fact that an entire party is using a mentally ill individual as a shill is beyond cruel. It's inhumane.

Hahaha.....somebody’s gotta root for the underdog. Anyone debating Biden has to make it look like they’re not trying to take advantage of an Altzheimers patient.

If Biden is really struggling during parts of the debate it would be wise for Trump to show he’s not beating a dead horse. A little compassion could go a long way.

For his sake (biden's) I hope he doesn't debate, it would be cruel.

The big question here is, "Where's Trump...?"

Trump is backing down from everything as it would be an absolute slaughter. He is laughably trying to change the election date!
