Trump will go looooooow and cruel. Even Beau will not be off limits to Trump. Biden will keep his composure, but He needs a whopper of a comeback relating to any of Trump’s kids.

He just needs to at some point say “Look this guy has no clue what he is talking about. He has no clue what he is doing. And he has no idea how to govern”.....


That will spin him up like a top.

16. VP Biden should bring a few different red and blue ties with him.
Fri Aug 28, 2020, 08:22 PM
Aug 2020

Then, one of Biden's aides should scope out what tie Trump will be wearing at the podium.

Then Biden should choose one of the ties that he brought with him that is the exact same color as Trump's tie.

Biden should then put on the tie, only tie it in a manner that it hangs about a foot and a half longer than Trump's most certainly already too long tie.

Then when they come out and shake hands, Biden should point at the bottom of Trump's tie, and then point at the bottom of his own. Then Biden should shake his head at Trump in disappointment and disgust. Biden should then laugh and flash his brilliant smile, indicate that he was just kidding, laugh, and slap Trump on the back and give him a quick neck rub in a show of dominance, while laughing in a good natured manner.

This would fuck Trump up so bad, he would be useless...even more useless than he always is. Hard to recover from that kind of mocking.

And I hope "mashed potatoes" can be mentioned at every turn. Frankly, anything that might blow out his Depends works for me. Thinking about after the election, his cult won't give him up unless they see him as decrepit or boring.

still haunts his idiot son, his whole remaining family, and certainly the whole nation. Trump has mentioned him often and his grand-daughter wrote about his cruelty. I see no reason to leave him out of the narrative.

Besides, who do you think paid for the faked SAT test?

Something that shows Trump for the joke he is and in an area that really hits his ego.

With Giuliani he made a joke of him by using the issue that Giuliani saw as his biggest strength.

33. How Do You Think It Would Play If Biden Actually Challenged Him To A Fight?
Fri Aug 28, 2020, 10:31 PM
Aug 2020

Not in a, "got so mad that he lost his cool" kind of way, but for example, if Trump said something during the debates about him being old and feeble, if he just turned to him and said very icily, "If you think I'm old and feeble, maybe you'd like to step outside and settle this just the two of us." And MEANT it (you could tell by the look in his eye). I guarantee Trump would back right down if he thought it was about to happen. I've seen people stand up to him and him get wide-eyed and apologetic very quickly, so I know he's a pussy.

I guess my question is if it were done "artfully" enough, how do you think would it play among voters? Would it be seen as undignified and unpresidential by Biden, or would it lose Trump his "I like him because he's a tough guy" morons?

Either way, I hope Biden's debate preppers are loading him up with all sorts of good comebacks to Trump's insults. I also hope he doesn't get rattled when Trump starts interrupting him and talking over him.

34. I Think He Could Score Huge Points With "America, Aren't You TIRED Of This?"
Fri Aug 28, 2020, 10:37 PM
Aug 2020

He could make it a running theme. Even keep coming back to it during his closing remarks. Something like, "Aren't you TIRED of constantly being embarrassed by your leader? Aren't you TIRED of an economy that doesn't work for you? Aren't you TIRED of a President who's too busy tweeting to do any work? Aren't you TIRED of a President who cozies up to dictators and alienates our friends? Aren't you TIRED of a President who demeans the office he holds by making up third grade nicknames for his "enemies"? Aren't you TIRED of X, Y, and Z? (insert litany of Trump's fuck-ups)

I think that could be effective, because one of the things I'm constantly asking MAGAts (rhetorically, of course, because they never answer) is, "Aren't you TIRED of constantly having to defend the stupid shit Trump says and does?"
