Trump is going to be lost in the debates without a crowd to feed off.

His WWE shtick depends on him being a heel or babyface, usually the former, but he needs a crowd to feed off. I can't wait until Joe kicks his ass and rids our nation of this ignorant oaf.

Other than if Trump brings a rooting section. Remember at the start he took a group with him to the CIA and a few other events.

Or maybe you can buy cut outs of yourself and the money can go to charity.

The Trump operation ends up with diverse cut outs that include - Dershowitz, Judge Pirro midstream, OJ, and a meerkat

13. But he is very capable of lying and bullshitting his way through the debate.

The lies will come so fast that Biden and the moderators won't be able to refute more than a fraction of them. The obligatory fact-checking will be done after the debate, of course, but everyone already knows Trump lies, and his supporters don't care. This is why I think any debate with Donald Trump will be a waste of time. It will just give him another platform to disseminate his lies.

11. Trump will be out of balance and a bit lost without the feedback of a crowd

For Trump, an audience is like a wingman, and a nearly indispensable one at that. With some careful strategic thinking and planning on team Biden's part, Biden can take maximum advantage of its absence and have Trump a blathering blob rolling on the floor by the time he's done.
