     Meanwhile if Kamala says one wrong thing, makes one false claim, laughs slightly too much, backtracks on one issue, or fails to perfectly thread this Israel/Gaza needle once again, the clip of her doing so will be all you see the next day.

     Democrats are way too excited for this debate, thinking it's going to be the thing that propels her to polling outside the margin of error. It's going to do the opposite, this debate can only hurt her, because the standards are not the same for her and Trump.

     Case in point.

     Take a guess, is this a comment from /r/conservative about Biden 6 days before the first debate, or a comment from /r/politics about Trump today?

     And no, liberals who seem weirdly excited for this, he will not say the n-word.

     I've never seen a group of people so excited at the prospect of someone dropping a vile racial slur on live television, reddit is convinced a guy who has managed to avoid ever being recorded saying it is going to say it when he's live in front of millions of people during a presidential debate because she's going to put him off his game so much.

     Just, pure delusion. He's going to do way better than you think.

     Try to remember what happened leading up to the previous SOTU. The republicans were saying that Biden couldn't possibly get out there and give a coherent speech, setting the bar so low that simply not falling asleep in the middle of it became a huge success.

     The Democrat community is doing the same shit right now, talking about Trump dropping racial slurs and engaging in endless word salad. If he walks out there and just talks like a regular person for a few hours he'll be seen as killing it.

     In left-wing circles, they have convinced themselves, once again, that Donald Trump is going to walk out on that debate stage and poop his pants and throw up when faced with Kamala's debate prowess. She's going to "wipe the floor" with him.

     And the same group of people literally said the exact same shit leading right up to the disastrous Biden debate.

     Trump will do fine. She will not get under his skin. He will not faceplant. The man is a lot of things but bad on TV ain't one of them.
