The problem with "forcing" Trump to talk policy is that he typically won't do it. He's not going to answer the question and will pivot into 5 unrelated lies. I think Wallace will do a good job making him answers questions and Trump will wilt as he always does. Biden should not turn into a fact checker, he should leave it up to Wallace. The only time he should fact check is when he's defending himself and Wallace let's something slip. Biden just has to show a contrast with Trump.
Yeah, likely outcome is that Biden beats (low) expectations, Trump makes a fool of himself, and Biden sees a 1-2 point bounce that fades in a week
I know there's been a ton of talk about how demographics favor the Rust Belt eventually turning Red (ala Ohio), but instill think the cultural differences in the upper midwest vs the lower midwest could keep that area Blue.
The lower midwest feels some affiliation with the South, the upper midwest by and large does not at all.
Biden will have lines at the ready for when Trump is in full verbal diarrhea mode. Stuff like "My fellow Americans, we'd be here all night if I corrected all the lies the President just told. But let me just ask you this: Do you want four more years of THIS? This chaos? This utter disconnect from the truth? How's that working out for you?"
The danger zone for Biden I think will be when Trump goes after his family, as that will piss Joe off. He can show the anger but it has to be in a controlled manner.

If discord invites are being allowed to happen again, I would love to get one, but if not, no big deal.
I do wonder if trump is going to say "well your obviously on drugs" during the debate Tuesday.

Ok folks, I am not aware of any discord officially for Era but the old discord that was used during the exodus is sadly closed off. Folks there wanted nothing to do with this place, so they pulled up the ladder and we aren't even allowed to talk about Era in that discord at all.
Unless there is another one someone else started (by all means, I just make the threads). Sorry to everyone who wanted in or missed the harbor.

They better prep for personal, vicious attacks by Trump. Nothing is off the menu. I would be surprised if he didn't bring up Hunter in some way. Also Biden does lose his temper. Need to deal with that.
Yeah, I guess I'm trying to extrapolate too much from national polls to state races, because it's hard to reconcile a 8-10 lead nationally with a close race in places like Arizona or North Carolina. The only way I can is assuming places like CA and NY are getting deeply blue and shifting those numbers up.
It's not just about the presidency, you have to wonder what that kind of lead means to the Senate.
You can bet your ass that they're having "Trump" bring that up in the mock debates.
If Biden handles it well it'll backfire majorly on Trump.

I actually think that if Trump goes after Biden's family and Biden gets a bit angry it could work for Biden. Hillary had to avoid anger because of the double-standard for women, but Biden would come off as strong and fully justified in getting angry about attacks on his family.
Yeah, if it is a controlled, righteous anger it absolutely will be a huge, positive, viral moment for Biden.
Don't. Can you imagine if Biden managed to stutter on it or something? I think I'd want to the earth to swallow me whole.
100% agreed. And even the handful of times Biden has gotten pissed on the trail this year, while they made the touchy-feely people on the left bristle, they bolstered Biden's image with temperamentally conservative people who want a masculine/macho candidate.
zero persuadeable voters know this reference and it'd just confuse and alienate them
Oh come on. He wouldn't stutter. He takes debate performance enhancing drugs precisely to prevent such things!
But Trump will be allowed to spout conspiracy theories that only the loons follow.
"he stopped taking them this one time so he wouldn't get caught, and now the whole world can see Senile Joe!"
Lol I would love for the GOP message to be vote for us to destroy the ACA.
Georgia and TX both are going to be a gotv operation. I still think Biden takes one of them and I'm going to guess it will be Georgia

Alright, then, I'll pull the PoliEra Overflow Discord server I started during the migration out of mothballs. If anyone wants an invite, send me a PM.
So here's a thread that's going to give me nightmares tonight
I can just about see Senate Dems getting on board with court packing if the court pulls any really heinous bullshit, but I can absolutely see those same Dems completely backing down if the court doesn't let Trump steal the election, so that our new 6-3 conservative court can strike down anything good congress passes for the next 20 years

Thats basically how all the NC polling as been lol. Its a red state still.
The Cunningham ticket splitting still confounds me, but I guess Tillis is just that unlikeable? Whatever, I'll accept a narrow Biden loss in the state in exchange for flipping the Senate seat.
These people are so dumb. Why even stir up this nest after 2018? Smh.
I'm also pretty sure they will uphold ACA as the legal grounds are VERY sketchy and I don't expect Roberts or Kavanaugh to go along with it (they have both ruled on the severability of unconstitutional provisions from larger laws before so it would break their own precedent). That would also give a conservative court more legitimacy.
I'm from NC, and Tillis is well hated here. In the north Charlotte suburbs, he is despised for outsourcing a tollway on I-77 to an international company that has a 50 year lease, and a stipulation that no other general purpose lanes can be built without the company getting compensated. This issue is at the bottom of the list of shit he's done, but the north Charlotte suburbs hate him for it, and this area has been historically red.
It's also similar to how people voted for Trump, but also broke to Cooper instead of McCrory. People here hate the state GOP for the bs they've been pulling for the last decade. Gerrymandering is the only reason they have power at the moment.
I'm in the same boat and asked the last round but at this point I don't think even people that got looked over last round will be included. I think a handful of people that were wanted got them but most did not sadly :/ It's unfortunate but I don't think anything will change it. Hopefully they change their mind before the election.
It's sad how sexist the country still is that Clinton had to be judged by such a double standard.
North Carolina is going to be tight. Trump won it by +3.5 in 2016 which means if it swings with the rest of the country around 5 points (for +7 point margin overall) that it would be close. A poll showing Biden +2 is about where we should expect it.
It may swing further left with Cunningham and Cooper being more popular than Biden and helping him out with turnout.
If the national race narrows to ~5-6 points, NC may be the closest race of the election.
