Biden has called a lid on campaigning until after Thursday night's debate, whereas Trump seems to be doing 2-3 rallies a day.

What a tit. People will think he hasn't got the energy to campaign!

I think so too and pretty sure he took a day or more off before the town hall...it's almost like it takes him days to prepare whereas Trump just rocks up on the night.

Looks like the steam on Trump is now well into rebound. Glad to report that I am now green across the board. :mrgreen:

Best thing to do is win the election, have a socially-distanced party and resign the next day. Harris can become the first female president, Biden can have a happy retirement and Trump can bugger off to his tower. :D

He'll probably have to sell his tower to help pay off the half a billion in loans that's coming due. He might have to share a loft with an artist!

Low-energy & gaffe prone Joe is comfortably ahead, no need to drain that energy when he is not scrambling from behind. No own goals from here and he wins.

Microphones will be muted in the next debate. :D I presume that's only when the candidate misbehaves.

No ... it's when the producer doesn't agree with what the guy is saying!

It would be a good idea if they just cut them off after they've had the two minutes. Us traders have a ticking clock in front of us when placing last-minute trades, know and face consequences if we fail to close on time. The candidates must have clocks in front of them but both sides of all debates always push it and try to get a few words in.

Biden just needs to be cool and let Trump make an arse of himself. In fact, it's almost like me and Luke. I just need to stay calm, absorb the insults and stick to the facts. :)
