There is no question in the slightest: If the Dems can slither Biden out of doing the debates, then it absolutely benefits Biden. The media can keep softballing everything for him and propping him up. Trump absolutely needs the debates to happen. There's no question that Trump would outperform Biden, considering Biden's mental state alone.
I firmly believe that the debates in 2016 helped Trump, for a plethora of reasons. I believe the debates should help him even more this year.
I am also insanely concerned about mail-in voting. So much fraud is going to happen. That's why I think the lockdowns have been prolonged for so long and why this bullshit will continue throughout the Fall. We all know that the DNC is invested in mail-in voting.
Because modern day politics are just the worst, I anticipate that a winner of the election won't be announced until late December or something. Some really ugly times are ahead, no matter who ends up winning the election.
