Might as well get this out of the way: My prediction for the debates is that Trump is going to go in tepid for the first debate, aim for a 'draw' in the second, and go really hard in the third.
It matches what he did for Clinton, and makes some show business sense since people like the underdog, and will remember the last debate more than the first debate.
I just don't see Trump following the same playbook this time around. For all Trump, knows this debate is the only one he's going to get. SO I don't see any downsides to going at Biden hard and, especially, fast. Dementia patients don't handle it well when you come at them fast.
His old plan worked against Hillary, but no one back then even suggested that Hillary shouldn't do the debates. We're seen high-profile Democrat politicians floating a trial balloon that the debates should be cancelled, with the media lapdogs barking approvingly.
