Five Things I Expect Out Of The 27 June Biden-Trump Debate

 1.  As much as you think it's a Biden versus Trump debate....it's really to be a Trump versus CNN debate, and possibly the ending of any 'trust' with CNN and the general public.  CNN may not have come to grasp this yet....but they are on the outer limits of trust with most of the public presently.

2.  If Biden is heavily medicated (as a fair number of people believe)....I would expect him to show up heavily medicated and treated with another 'dose' of medication during the commercial break.  Trump (after the first commercial) will joke if Joe got 'enough' during the pause.

3.  If Biden pauses heavily at some question asked.....it's likely that this is a unrehearsed question and he's pausing....wondering why they went off-script.

4.  It's not enough to tie with Trump in this debate....Biden really needs to 'win'....to avoid some talk of dumping him at the convention.

5.  I'm interested in the theory that CNN's job here is to make Biden look bad enough....that he has to exit at the convention and allow a new person to enter.  The question to open this 'door'?  Make him explain Bidenomics.
