“New York Times senior political correspondent Maggie Haberman discusses Trump’s potential behavior toward Biden during the 2024 CNN Presidential Debate.”

From CNN

Anderson Cooper had a panel last week on CNN talking this upcoming debate as well. And Democratic political analyst Paul Begala had the perfect point here when he said Joe Biden should say: “I’m in it for you. Donald Trump is in it for himself.”

And what I believe that means is Donald Trump is simply running for President again, to stay out of prison. He doesn’t get his immunity from the U.S. Supreme Court, he loses the presidential election, he’ll become the political and legal version of the goldfish out of water, right in front of hungry kitty cat. He’ll be completely exposed and there won’t be anything that anyone can do about that to bail him out, until he’s convicted again, at least once, probably in 2025.

While President Biden is making this point, he can also say: “This is the situation when I became President of the United States…This is what I’ve done about it… And this is where we are now…”

President Biden inherited a freakin pandemic and recession, that wrecked the supply chain in the economy and the U.S. Government, starting first with then President Trump and that Congress, and then with President Biden in the next Congress in 2021-2022, and today where the inflation is now at 3%. But that’s a 3rd of where it was just 2 years ago. And wages, incomes, job growth, economic growth, the budget deficit has come down by more than a trillion dollars from where it was in 2021. Housing and savings are worth a lot more than they were 3 years ago as well.

And to Shermichael Singleton’s point: I’m sure that’s exactly how every center-right, establishment, Republican in America, wants Donald Trump and Joe Biden to debate each other. Except for of course the center-right, establishment Republicans, who’ll be voting for President Biden in November.

But Donald Trump doesn’t want to talk about the issues and policy simply because he doesn’t understand them and is not interested in them. And quite frankly, neither are most of the voters who’ll be watching this debate.

I think with President Biden, you’ll hear him talk about what a 2nd term will look like for him. But he also has to talk about what Donald Trump’s 2nd term would look like (God help us, if that happens) and that he’s only running for President again because as the Biden Campaign has already said: “He’s only in it for himself. Not you.” He accomplishes these 2 things, his vision and contrasting Donald Trump, he wins this debate going away.
