Debate Night!

CNN host two grumpy old men.

Tonight, the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump. It will also be the possibility of Trump revealing his running mate.

I doubt the two will shake hands. If that happens, wow.

Trump will be on the left, Biden on the right. 

Biden will have the opportunity to address issues without interruption, Trump will get the last word.

This also comes on the cusp of the U.S. Supreme Court releasing it's most controversial decisions. It will be one of the most watched debates in U.S. history.

It will be only on CNN and it will be streamed on its platform MAX, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery. Other networks can carry it.

At 9pm, Biden and Trump will shutdown Downtown Atlanta. Both are prominent U.S. figures and the U.S. Secret Service will be monitoring the area surrounding CNN Headquarters (Warner Media).

Both presidents have controversies and they are a drag on both the Democratic and Republican Party, respectively.

According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, two of CNN'S prominent afternoon hosts will moderate the debate. Both Bash and Tapper have faced criticism for pushing pro Israel talking points.

Tapper and Bash had protesters at their homes in the Washington, DC area.

Biden and Trump are still emboldened to support Israel. That will be definitely an issue.

Here's the rundown of what I expect this debate will be about.

CNN picks status quo hosts to moderate debate between Biden and Trump.

The election, abortion, Trump's conviction, Israel, inflation, Supreme Court, members of Congress who cause controversy, favorite sport team, both politicians age, TikTok, Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump's running mate, economy, preparedness for a pandemic, protesters, accepting the election results, China, Russia, North Korea, immigration, gaffes, being truthful, Hunter Biden's conviction, lacking support from some conservative and progressive voters, along with many more.

It is going to be a repeat of their first debate.

Well not so fast.

Biden and Trump agreed to the rules.

The moderators will not allow showboating. The mics will be muted if there is constant interruptions, the questions will not be deflected, no audience and it will be straight to the point. Trump who normally interrupts will be forced to be muted. Biden who normally rambles on and on will be forced to be muted.

The insults on character will be clear tonight. 

Biden will immediately call Trump a convicted felon. Trump will claim that Biden is old and say he can't complete a sentence or he's juiced up.

The world will watch. I know I will.
