The first question should be "Mr. Trump, will you commit to calling off your supporters who threaten people who DON'T support you with death, harass them by phone and email, show up outside their houses with guns, and doxx them? "
With mics cut, will Trump's bullying, yelling, and overall obnoxiousness during Biden's time and after PAB's time is up be audible for those watching. If that's the case, it could get very ugly.
The only real question going into tonight is what drug cocktail will the proven rapist, fraud and convicted felon Trump be on?
Will it be the disassociative that led him to wandering around stalking Hillary in 2016? Or will we get the coked out rapist Trump of the first 2020 debate? Or the over corrected on valium Trump of the second 2020 debate.
Personally, I just hope for a version of the rapist Trump on exstacy who will whip out a couple glow sticks and spend the entire debate dancing to music only he can here. Like normal.
My big concern is that the debate rules will force Trump to behave himself and thus make him seem a hell of a lot calmer and more reasonable than he is, even in his Sir Stories OTOH, he may also come across as really low energy, because he really does need to feed off a crowd.
But other things are always possible. We need over/unders for the following acts:
1) Sulky, petulant Mussolini-ish scenery chewing.
2) Attempts to shout loudly enough to be heard over Biden's mic.
3) Whining to the mods that they cut him off too early.
4) Charging over to Biden's side of the stage when #2 doesn't work.
5) Banging his shoe.
6) Falls asleep.
7) Gross misogyny towards Dana Bash (bleeding whatever's or crude come-ons).
8) Aphasic dementia rant with non-words and babbling.
9) Totally deranged meltdown.
10) Epileptic fit.
Come on, Wonkette odds makers! We need over/unders for all of these!
My guess is Trump won't be able to control himself no matter what. The silence of the non-audience will freak him out, and he'll scream louder and louder, like kids do when they're scared or angry or both.
Make sure Trump doesn't have an earpiece Stephen Miller can feed answers to.
Last night the NYCrimes published this headline: "Republicans Rally Behind Trump After Conviction, Times/Siena Poll Finds." The article never claims that his support has increased but the headline sure as fuck implies it, doesn't it? Many commenters pointed out that being frothier at the mouth does not mean you get to vote more often. It's more clickbait for angry Democrats. Thanks Zuckerberg, for the lesson the press can't unlearn.
I confess I'm looking forward to this as much if not more than the Stanley Cup final earlier this week. I've become a bad Canadian and it's all Trump's fault.
My question is will they actually *cut* Shitler’s mic when his time is up, or just let him keep ranting while they politely admonish until he stops/pauses/etc ... ?
I must admit, my 3 years in Germany during my junior-high years left me with an unshakeable fondness for Stollen, no matter what.
Ta, Evan. Rigged? Stollen? Why not both?

Speaking of Dr Ronny and his Provigil, I'll just leave this here...

he should be in a sound-proof, plexiglass box.
or a cell. a cell would work, too.
See, NOW is the time to invoke "Hannibal Lecter."
It will be audible to OHJB, which will be distracting.

I would bet that wasn't a disassociative drug, but the actual guy prodded into motion by the gall of that nasty woman.
*sips from ritual eponymous shot glass of said nasty woman*

Thank God the MAGAs all have basic cable. We wouldn't want them to miss this splendid performance by their Lord and Master.

"Make sure Trump doesn't have an earpiece Stephen Miller can feed answers to."
Oh, PLEASE let them try that. We will all then get an object lesson on why this kind of thing does not work.
We'll probably never have a proper debate unless the mods are equipped with cattle prods.
You left out 11) Strongly imply that Jake Tapper isn't a heterosexual, thus disqualifying him from asking Chump any questions.
Perfect cartoon on OHJB's debate performance enhancers. Also, I hate Nasty Mace.

Joe and his ice cream looks just like Milo Bloom in that cartoon. I heartily approve.
I really don’t know how Trump is going to handle the mic being turned off. He’ll probably scream himself hoarse.
All he knows is attack. Maybe he'll become so frustrated that his head will explode. Live! On CNN!

It will also air live on CBC News, so that's another channel I won't be watching the debates on.
But which one of them is old?
Which one has white hair?
I'm betting he tries to take over Biden's mic by the third question

Being a bad Canadian means always having to say you're soory.

It's CNN, so they'll give TFG every break possible. None, of course, for the President because "bias."
