Trump is down by 9 points

and I don't think that is going to change very much going into election day. So why have any more debates, this has been the stable presidential race in American history. People have already made up their minds and voting has already started.

Expect Barr to drop a smear on Biden/Obama/Clinton

Expect Ghouliani to try and sow doubt.

We are strong.

But they are fuckin' douche nozzles.
