When Joe Biden released a 14 second video with 5 edits in it declaring how he wants to debate Donald Trump twice, my first thought was how pathetic is it that he can’t get through a few lines without needing multiple takes and heavy editing. My next thought was Trump should take him up on the offer, which he did. Then, I had another thought, a better thought. Something that I believe will help Donald Trump immeasurably.

The Biden campaign wants two debates, one in June and the other in September, both well ahead of the November election, which is odd. They say it’s because of early voting, but there’s more to it than that.

If Biden soils the sheets in a June debate, that gives Democrats plenty of time to find a new nominee before their convention in August. If Biden drops out before being officially nominated there is no need for lawsuits to change ballots, it’s all nice and clean.

As for the September date, there’s still plenty of time to distract voters from a failed performance.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

So far, Cohen has testified he personally made the $130,000 payment to Daniels using a home equity line of credit in an effort to conceal the payment from his wife. Cohen said he did this because Trump told him to “handle it” and prevent a negative story from coming out ahead of the…Read more and see video here.
