    Can you imagine being that scared of Biden that you have to start giving him compliments after insulting him for years because you don’t want to look bad when you make even worse gaffes on national tv?

      They already have their excuse ready. Hannity has been pushing it hard all week. Biden is on drugs! Hannity keeps calling him “Jacked-Up Joe,” which, to me, makes him sound like he’s super muscular.

    He’s incompetent! But if he isn’t…

    He’s cheating and taking PEDs! But if he isn’t…

    He’s a genius playing 4D chess to take away your guns and make you a gay!

      Absolutely. If they go too hard before hand they will scare him off and we can’t watch him crumble.

      The mic will be shut off when it is not the turn of the person speaking and I think that’s starting to soak in for Trump.
