you can’t beat trump in a debate really.

You can. He’s a B-list stand up so you bring your A-game.

But Biden isn’t a professional comedian. He’s not going to roast Trump in a game of The Dozens.

what’s the point.

When you’ve got a friendly press corps, you do a debate and let the media stunt on the opposition for you.

There’s going to be a 5 second clip of one of them stumbling or mispronouncing a word, and then the next week long news cycle becomes “Does Candidate Have Alzheimer’s? Here’s a dozen Dr. Oz tier talking heads to tell you he might!”

But when conservatives have their own big, invasive, and professionalized hatchet men teams, there’s a legit fear among Democrats that they will be more likely on the receiving end.
