If Trump regains power, he isn’t relinquishing it until he dies. It’s the only way he stays out of prison and being/running for President is the only thing making him lots of money. Thursday will not be a geriatric cage match.

x oh no… Trump says “Joe Biden is formally granting Mass Finger”



The way he says it that sounds really bad, I only have one question.



What is a mass finger?

Trump, the aides say, has been honing his argument to voters during more than a year of rallies and media interviews. He is not expected to participate in a mock debate.

"The idea that he has to be in a room and mock out - first this guy does that, then you do this - it's just not his style," Hughes said.

"If we're doing anything at all," Hughes added, "it's simply reviewing with him policies and accomplishments and looking ahead with him at what he'll do in the four years ahead."

Alan Schroeder, professor emeritus of journalism at Northeastern University, sees some risk in the less formal approach for Trump, who like Biden has not debated in four years after eschewing face-offs with his Republican primary challengers.

One of the rules that could prove challenging for Trump: Microphones will be muted except when it is each candidate's turn to speak.

"He's done so many TV events of different types that he sort of thinks he can wing it," said Schroeder, an expert on presidential debates. "But debating is a very specific thing. It doesn't really pay to just show up."
