Will Trump chicken out of the presidential debate? Probably. He's a Grade-A coward. Soft Paywall

Then let Biden have the stage for 2 hours or whatever and have a debate with a cardboard standee of Trump. The cardboard would probably make more sense than anything the real Trump would say anyway..

Tapper and Bash should probably ready themselves for a 2 hour town hall with Biden. The odds of Trump chickening out with some bat shit reason is high.

But leave the Trump podium and cardboard cutout. Refer to it often.

"Mr. Trump...here's a question for you"

(cut to podium)

No response.

"Mr. Biden, your response"

Biden gets 2 minutes.

"Mr. Trump, you get the last word here"

Cut to cardboard cutout.

Repeat.
