Biden to attack Trump where he's strongest and make the case he's ruined the economy

Joe Biden is expected to use the first presidential debate to attack President Trump on one of his strengths: his handling of the economy.

Both sides anticipate that Biden will blame Trump for the tens of millions of job losses in the coronavirus pandemic as well as the immense financial struggles facing workers with lower incomes, those without a college degree, and black and Hispanic people.

“When there’s so much wreckage all over the country because of Trump’s mismanagement of the pandemic, I think Biden’s attack strategy is pretty straight forward,” Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank, said.

“A lot of things just speak for themselves,” Hanlon, who was a special assistant for economic policy to President Barack Obama, said.

A brilliant strategy.  It has to work.

Chris Wallace will not ask Joe Biden about Hunter getting $3.5 million from the mayor of Moscow's wife.

But Trump will.

Exactly why I won't watch. Screaming at the TV is not productive, but that's what would happen if I watched.

GIDLEY: Joe Biden Will Lie His Way Out Of His Record At The First Debate

Ahead of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, it’s important to draw attention to Joe Biden’s disastrous 47-year record as a career politician. Joe Biden spent 36 years in the United States Senate and then eight years as vice president – he is the Washington establishment.

Joe Biden’s horrific record is going to be very difficult to examine in 90 minutes. Nevertheless, I have zero doubts that Joe Biden will shamelessly lie and deflect when asked to defend his indefensible record.

One of the most vulnerable parts of the Biden record is on trade. For nearly a half century, Joe Biden put America last and advanced the interests of other countries first by voting for globalist trade deals at the expense of the American worker. Look no further than the nightmare known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Then-Senator Biden voted for NAFTA in 1993 and stated that it was “going to be a wash” on jobs. But it wasn’t a “wash,” it crushed the American worker.

How much of the audience, on both sides, are going to be looking at Biden's ears tonight instead of following what he's saying?

Anybody doing shots for every time Biden says come on man?

Personally I think there should be a thorough search made to insure Jeff Dunham is not put the words in Biden's mouth during the debate.
After all he has had years of experience talking for Biden's surrogate.

[kevindavis007]

Well my fear is the follwing:

1. Biden appears lucid
2. Biden does the Gipper line about age.
3. Biden has his Sister Solljah moment.

As for #3, if he goes against BLM/Anitfa just to appeal the Moderates, the far left is going to be uspet at Biden.

I think he will do well and of course, according to all the pundits will win it...

A lot of people are underestimating Biden.
