Hi there everyone it's 4 o'clock in the east with no audience the mic's

muted debate scheduled months before debates normally happen.

Practically every last thing about this first presidential debate of the

2024 presidential election season is unprecedented.

Has never happened before. The first ever presidential debate

between a current president and an ex-president will showcase a quite literal

split-screen choice facing the American voter. A president with an agenda that commands

broad support from voters, but a president who's dogged by concerns about his

age and stamina versus a disgrace convicted four times indicted liable for sexual abuse and

financial fraud ex-president whose most recent appearances from rallies to

meetings with business leaders reveal a candidate who is more erratic now than ever before who appears to be in a race against himself to say and do the most incoherent and inexplicable things whose rapidfire spewing of lies and delusions presents a unique

challenge to anyone trying to talk to him, let alone challenge him rhetorically on

a stage on TV.

Trump will also be freed from a gag order that held him back from smearing witnesses

and jurors in the case that resulted in his first ever criminal conviction.

Hillary Clinton, the only other person other than President Biden,

who has taken Trump on a debate stage,

says this in a brand new up in the New York Times.

Quote, it is a waste of time to try to refute Trump's arguments

like in a normal debate.

It's nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are.

He starts with nonsense, then digresses into blather.
