General Discussion

...(case in point: the SOTU) rather than when they hear about him from biased media coverage, lots of which want to push an anti-Biden narrative for political expediency.

Furthermore, Biden will mop the floor with Trump. For all the talk about how Biden has lost a step or two, you can see that he's still sharp as hell based on recent public events, off-the-cuff remarks, etc. He will do just fine in a debate against Trump.

Trump is becoming more and more unhinged and you can tell that he is actually in a state of cognitive decline -- as usual, everything accusation from a Republican turns out to be a confession -- and he is only going to get worse and more stressed out between now and Election Day.

So, I'm all for Biden taking on Trump head-to-head and not backing down, which is how the media absolutely will portray it as if he refuses to debate him.
