    It’s crazy that anyone believes they’re going to glean anything from this. What question do people think is going to get resolved here? Is there anyone who seriously doesn’t already have their mind made up about both of these guys?

    Trump is going to do his vague, rambling spiel about how immigrants are rapists and gish gallop around the stage while Biden is going to get all misty-eyed about how much pork barrel spending he managed to pass over his term and give a bunch of empty euphemisms about “coming together” or w/e. Maybe say something racist about Palestine.

    What are people hoping to get out of this? Honest question.

      Because a ton of people haven’t been following this stuff and need to be reminded of who Trump is and what policies he represents.

        Ok, but for real, do you genuinely believe there’s anyone out there who forgot what Trump is about? He was in power for 4 years and he’s been in the news every day since he left office.

        I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

          My aunt made a point of tuning into these sort of things when she was with my Trump voting grandmother. Listening and watching what a train wreck he is without the right-wing media filter I think was what ended up turning her into a Biden voter in 2020. I don’t know if my aunt would have gotten through to her if she didn’t have the debates and pressers to work with.
