General Discussion

TSF won't answer any questions, instead he just denounces CNN and rages about Biden's "corruption" at every opportunity. After, he can rely on highlight-reel edits to save him from his actually-abysmal debate performance.

He'll declare victory and rely on M$M to ignore anything of substance and everything Biden says, unless it involves stuttering. TSF will boast about being Daniel in the lions' den, going toe-to-toe with the Deep State's champion and the Very Unfair Media, which he vanquished singlehandedly through sheer awesomeness and his family's latent MIT genius.

If clips circulate widely of his actual idiocy during the debate, and his inability to say anything meaningful on a variety of topics looks like it's getting enough buzz to be a campaign issue, he'll just flip the script: "I totally meant to throw that debate, it meant nothing to me you old fools, no one watches your stupid shows anyway." His surrogates will rotate through a variety of prearranged pressers, podcasts, and pundit shows to describe in fabulous fictional detail how TSF did some jujitsu move that totally discredits CNN.

Remember, his stupidly shallow act doesn't have to work for everyone: just a few thousand well-distributed voters in the upper Midwest, enough to get him what he wants in November.

Anyway, if I were his campaign staff, that's how I'd play it.
