Trump is losing to Biden by a 5+% margin in a number of battleground states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania) in polls https://www.270towin.com/maps/biden-trump-polling-map so Trump has nothing to lose and everything to gain by debating Biden on JRE. The polls were not wrong about Clinton. Clinton's lead over Trump in the battleground states were within the margin of error. The popular vote doesn't determine victory for presidents. The electoral college does. A 5+% margin in the polls is above the margin of error. The only way the polls can get it wrong is if there is a shy Trump voter effect in the polling. The House went to the Democrats in 2018. Lots of suburban districts flip red to blue. So there is reason to worry for the Republicans.
The Democrats have effectively weaponized the coronavirus against Trump. 67% of independents polled that America's COVID-19 death rate was unacceptable. Trump needs a knockout in the debates to sway independents.
Blame the mismanagement of Andrew Cuomo and other Democratic Governors for the high death rates in blue states. Point out the lower death rates in Red State America. Point to the rising numbers of deaths of despair (suicide, opioid overdose) in locked down blue states as evidence that that the lockdown has hurt people. Point out that the Democrats want young people to sacrifice their future for a generation that has already lived a full life. Point out that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris defends criminals who terrorize the black community like Jacob Blake, Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Taylor and Michael Brown while the Democrats say nothing about the victims of black on black crime in the ghetto.
This is what I keep telling people. The polls were pretty much bang on in 2016: https://i.imgur.com/Rrd1ACR.png
"The polls were wrong!" Everyone says.
No, the polls were right. What was wrong was the media's interpretation of the polls. They just assumed the higher percentage nationally was a win, because they were too lazy tabulate by electoral region.
Only if Trump takes DMT
Joe Rogan moderating a debate between President Donald Trump and his democrat challenger?
I'll support this but only if Vince McMahon co-moderates.
Joe doesn't know his own name...
Her name, dude. His challenger will be changing shortly.
Trump getting baited into this one might fuck him if Biden's handlers are smart enough to see it.
The DNC path to victory is to portray Biden as a good man, a long-time legislator who was taken out at the last moment not for his shitty record but for suffering a sad and tragic disease, then throwing in Harris and diversity-ing her to a shock win against a man who was ruthless with an obviously sick person.
A 4-hour Joe Rogan podcast debate gives them just that opportunity. There is no way Biden could make it through such an affair and there is no way Trump could resist attacking him.
If Trump were to be derisive, or callous it could be over for him. Especially if Joe Rogan disapproved of his behaviour at multiple moments, in clips that could be spread all over the internet,
The game with Biden is to trick Trump into being vicious with a man who will be (wrongly) portrayed as a statesman whose mind is failing then throw in the law and order (Indian who they will be portraying as a) black woman.
Something fucky has been going on with Joe Rogan since the Spotify contract was signed. Trump would be well-advised to stay away.
Rogan will only do it if there's no strings attached. aka completely raw off the cuff interview.
