Something deadly - something more effective than Reagan's "there you go again."
What do you think a good zinger would be against Trump?

Trump will say things right and left that will tee up Hard burns from Biden.

That will spin him up like a top.

(17,425 posts)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.

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

(89,247 posts)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.

(3,784 posts)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.

(3,784 posts)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?"
