There are no persuadable voters. There will be no meaningful unpacking of issues. There will only be Trump putting on his Trump show for his fans. What does Biden get out of being prop in the Trump show? How do you even debate someone makes up "facts" on the spur of the moment? I say Biden should pass on taking part in this sham. What do you think? Jonathan Russo writing at TPM thinks Trump has set up a losing dynamic for himself.

However, one thing is certain. Trump has painted himself into a deep corner when it comes to the public’s expectations about Biden’s performance. His mocking descriptions of Biden started months ago with relentless “sleepy Joe” tweets. Then they devolved to, “I honestly don’t think he knows what office he is running for.” Finally, Trump gave some vague warnings that Biden was going to be put in a “home while super left radical crazies run the country.” Trump’s key spokespeople regularly attack Biden’s mental acuity.

When Lefty says "There isn't much difference between Democrats and Republicans" and points to cowards and bought and paid for corporate shills like BHL, Coons and Carney as evidenced, he has a point. For "Dems" like BHL, Coons and Carney taxing rich people and corporation is always the problem and austerity is always the solution. Our party has a history of promoting corporate shills and cowards to leadership positions. We stopped being the people's party and became the Oligarch's Party under Bill Clinton. That's a fact. But is is also a fact that the party is changing. There is a new generation of leadership on the come up. It is a generation leadership that gets it. State Party Chair,Erik Raser-Schramm Executive Director, Jesse Chadderdon Deputy Executive Director, Travis Williams National Committeewoman, Evelyn Harris City of Wilmington Chair, Cassandra Marshall New Castle County Chair, Dave Woodside From what I've seen, these people get it. And they are working hard to elect people who get it. There may be more that I'm missing.
