We're about to find out how 'sleepy' Joe Biden really is

It's a complete mystery to most voters as to what version of Joe Biden they're going to see at the first presidential debate on Tuesday.
Is it going to be the Biden who swears he would beat President Trump "like a drum" or the Biden whose public appearances of late have almost been exclusively via web shows, wherein he's seen squinting into a camera, mouth half-open, slurring through a few remarks before hitting the off switch and calling it a day by 9:30 a.m.?
If we're looking solely at what liberals in the media are advising Biden to do, we should expect a whip-smart candidate ready to hit the president with snappy one-liners, devastating takedowns on his administration's handling of the pandemic, and, naturally, a barrage of attacks on his character. (If you haven't heard, Biden is running for president "to restore the soul of America.")
True, it's all very cringe-inducing, and yet, I don't think you'll see any of it. Did we ever during the Democratic primary? Out of more than a dozen debates back then, Biden had maybe two strong moments, neither of which were memorable. No, for the most part, he sat back, comfortable with his lead among primary voters thanks to his name recognition and association with the first black president. He didn't have to do much, and so, he didn't.
