Joe will be just...FINE tonight. He knows what's coming, he'll handle it, and look presidential. [View all]

Trump is seeing this as a replay of 2016, hovering six inches behind Hillary. Biden will not be intimidated by that. I don't know "how" he is going to deal with it, but my gut is telling me he will simply stay on message, not take the bait, not "react" in an emotional manner, and Trump will come across as the absolute asshole that he is.

I'm really tired of the clickbait of "What if Trump is a DICK tonight?"

Of COURSE he'll be a dick.

MSNBC just played the 2016 clip of Hillary calling him a puppet and he blurts out "YOU'RE a puppet" and that's all he's got, a Pee Wee Herman level of "I KNOW you are, but what am I" childishness.

It's a rite of passage for Joe on the way to November 3rd. He'll handle it, Fox will seize on every little flub (real or imagined) and Trump will act like he's at a MAGAt rally, slinging mud and denying every piece of factual, documented info we know about him.

Take deep cleansing breaths as you watch. We knew it was coming, here it is, and Joe will be just fine.
