Trump is not anything a furious liar ... He is a veritable lying machine.
Regardless of what else happens during the debate - an avalanche of lies on the Bullshit Mountain is as good as money in the bank.
How should Biden react to it?

"Do you have any idea what that really means?"
"In what world would that ever even exist?"
Really, after the flood (oops, poor pun!) of great lines after the "Battle of Lake Travis" I'm sure the great minds at DU can come up with a winner!

Biden is actually good at knowing how to present himself in these things based on the person he is debating.

(9,077 posts)he would have to have accurate memory each time without making mistakes himself.
Easier for Biden to use a phrases like:
"You have made that claim many times, but you have never provided a shred of evidence to back it up."
or
"There you go again, making stuff up. You know that is untrue, but you keep repeating it."
or
"You keep repeating the same old tired falsehoods and you sound like the little boy who cried wolf."

(16,999 posts)Narcissists dont respond well to being ignored. It will completely throw him off his game. Hell be swinging at nothing. Joe will make the points wants to make and look like the only adult on the stage.

(15,805 posts)ready to delivered the coup de gras when a moderator calls for a thumbs down verdict. Allow each candidate a limited number of challenges to question their opponent's answer.
If the candidates themselves to try to serve as their own fact checker they risk losing credibility, and Trump would turn the debate into a nonstop temper tantrum.

(16 posts)After the very first lie, bring it up:
It took you 1 minute to tell your first lie tonight. No one in America is surprised, youve told lies every day youve been president; I would say you started on your first day but then Id be a liar too. You lied to everyone when running last time when you said youd bring back their jobs, you lied when you said youd build a wall and Mexico would pay for it. It didnt start there, you lie about how rich you are and how much you weigh and how tall you are. Hell, even your hair is a national joke. Its not a secret, the whole damn world knows it.
Im not hear to talk about that though, and I wouldnt even fact check another lie you tell tonight because doesnt matter anymore, everyone knows youre a liar at this point so its a waste of my time. Im here tonight to talk to the American people and show them that Im different, Im not here to lie to them. Im here to talk straight to them to address our challenges as a nation and work with each and every one of them to make this country a place of safety, prosperity, and opportunity.
