I maintain the best way to deal with Trump is to read his exact words to him and let him melt down.
Those Trump pissed off Adelson stories seem a little dubious based on this:
Thats the job of the press (which, yes, they are failing to do). In a debate he’ll just say thats fake news I never said that you’re out to get me you see how unfairly I am treated etc etc etc. Swing voters will justifiably tune out thinking the whole thing is a farce so why bother. That helps Trump. Biden needs to seize the opportunity to make people feel that he will help them if elected.
Adelson now being willing to spend doesn’t mean the stories weren’t true. Maybe he and D made a deal.
(is what I assume I’d say if I had read the article instead of making declarations based on headlines…)
Okay I like this. But tell me how you respond to this scenario as Biden.
Biden: exact quotes from Trump saying things like war vets are suckers and losers
Trump: says they’re lies and that doesn’t matter anyway, what really matters is lie after lie quoting Biden with stuff Biden never said
The problem is letting Trump on the stage in the first place. If you let some eight year old race their bumper kart in the Daytona 500, literally everyone is going to have to make some bizarre adjustments to avoid a catastrophe.
It would be good debate prep to have Biden practice every time Trump tries to draw him into an argument about lie/fallacy X, Biden just chuckles and says “malarkey” and turns directly to the camera and rhymes off an emotionally resonant statement about how Joe really cares, and Joe’s gonna give you Y.
Man a My Cousin Vinny “everything that guy just said is bullshit” would be great.
This is terrifying. Based solely on my lifetime of experience with old white midwesterners, they are highly likely to come home to Daddy.

Rasmussen
Worst approval I’ve seen for Trump in a while. 1991 Registered Voters.
https://twitter.com/Politics_Polls/status/1306255816144674818?s=20
Right Direction: 27% (534)
Wrong Track: 73% (1457)
Even if a solid chunk of the 73% are Trumpists, I don’t think anyone’s ever won reelection with a number like 73%.
From Nov. 2, 2012:
Yet it was almost precisely the same - 41-55 percent, right direction vs. wrong track - shortly before the 2004 election, a handicap George W. Bush overcame to win a second term. In another similarity, Bush fell as low as a 48 percent job approval rating heading into that election; Obama is at 50 percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates.
This shows a comparison with 2004 and 2012, where Bush and Obama were both at 41-55 for Right Direction/Wrong Track.
