Trump or Joe: Who Will Win?

So, now that I just watched the 2,045th ad on CNN for tomorrow night’s debate, do I really want to watch the show?

I guess in order to answer that question in a way that makes any sense, what I really should be asking is this: If I don’t watch the debate is there anything I’ll miss?

The answer to that question depends on whether the CNN moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, try to get Trump to answer a real question or whether they will let him behave the way he always behaves when he meets the media, which is to give a stock response to a nothing question which has been to him in advance.

And if those two so-called journalists actually do what journalists are supposed to do, instead of behaving like the Fake News toadies they have become, the question they should ask Trump (and Biden) to answer would be this: If you win the election and are then found guilty in Georgia for trying to overturn the 2020 election and are sentenced to be incarcerated, will you resign from the Presidency before reporting to jail?

And if anyone thinks this is a totally crazy question to ask someone who right now has a 50–50 chance of winning the election according to the most recent polls, you might be someone who doesn’t really understand what the word ‘federalism’ actually means.
