What will probably happen is Trump will say a hundred stupid things no-one bats an eye to. Biden will screw up one soundbite and conservative media will twist and beat that dead horse until it get reincarnated.

Lightning strikes and both candidates die in a horrible freak accident. Oh wait, you asked worst caseโฆ
Then we enter the Kamala Harris vs Marco Rubio presidential timeline lol
Would make Trump a martyr or conspiracy about assassination via lightning, so still kinda bad.
God took him because he misses him
Barf emoji
Literally any way he dies he will become a martyr. Just get it over with.
So what's the solution?
He's a paedophile, convicted felon, corrupt, bankrupt, a wannabe dictator and his entire team are either incompetent, criminals, or have left him, which proves how much he sucks.
It's clear the zombies following him will keep on believing any of the bullshit from the White House's Dementia Patient Number 2 (Mr. Dictator) so what can Americans do (I'm European but genuinely concerned).
To all Trump supporters and general Republicans reading this: Listen, I know the Deep State is real, but this indirect Russian puppet that keeps on deflecting to China is not the solution. And if you see Trump as your Biblical God-sent saviour, remember the Bible also states that before the second coming of Christ, there will be a false idol, the Antichrist, which is far closer to what Trump is. America needs a Democratic Leader to uphold the Republic. By supporting a wannabe dictator, the Republicans slipped up. The Grand Old Party? Where is the Grandeur in felon and pedophile? Show the Republicans they screwed up by not voting for Trump and we can hope they regain the grandeur they claim to possess.
Biden starts going on about anti-Zionism being antisemitism; Trump's counterargument is an antisemitic dogwhistle
They both stay alive through the end of it
- Biden faints
- Trump walks over and slaps Biden
- Trump just leaves
- Biden justifies Israels attacks
- Violent demonstratos occupy CNN
- Terrorist attacks during the debate
- CNN cuts the debate short
- Trump gets caught with wireless bone conductor transmitter in his butt
- Biden reveals palm full of keywords written with a pen
- Trump talks about Stormy Daniels not being the best in bed and not worth the money
A few more squares and we have the bingo board ready to go
The prompt says worst case scenario ๐
biden stammers twice, but otherwise is impeccable.
cnn lobs nothing but softballs to the orange one. still screws 'em up, goes off on tangents, spouts nothing but lies, rages about everything. declared the 'winner'.
I think im watching it now. It makes me laugh in a sad sad way.
No kidding.
Thanks for setting this monkey paw off there buddy
I expect it'll probably be relatively boring. Trump likely has been coached to hell and back not to say unhinged shit. Of course, he can't control himself so he's going to say some unhinged shit, but it's definitely not going to be to the same frequency and magnitude that he normally is.
Meanwhile, Biden is going to play the "Trump is unhinged, so Republicans please vote for me" strategy, which is going to be unexciting to both Republicans and Democrats.
I think the debate itself is going to be dull, and what will really sway the population is what the media and social media run with afterward. ie, it'll be determined entirely by who has the more embarrassing slip-up. God this country is fucked
So basically a meme-war
Probably the worst thing would be if they both walked to the middle of the stage and started 69ing each other before announcing that they're partnering up and running together for the 2024 ticket as co-presidents.
I'll donate to that
...and they called it, "The aristocrats"
Calm down SatansMaggotyCumFart
The absolute worst case scenario? A repeat of Bush in Japan.
Wow. I've never seen this before and I really liked it.
I was going to write a long series of events that grew in oddity and hilariousness until we all died a gruesome death, but that's a lot of effort, so I'll just put this here.
The debate site is stormed by fascist militia, most democrats in the building are killed. Trump survives thanks to far right connections and mainstream media plays him up as a profile in courage.
A gunman could walk in with an AK-47 and shoot everybody dead on live tv... Oh wait, you mean what will happen in the debate? Well obviously since it's already over, we know the answer to that.
They said the worst thing that could happen, not the best.
One of them dies and/or kills someone else
Best case scenario they have gay sex
uhh idk a nuke dropping somewhere and we all die in M.A.D.?
Both of them audibly and uncontrollably fart instead of just Donnie VonShitzenpantz
Which presidential debate? Which country are you in?
Although I share your sentiment about the US not being the world, this case I think is self explanatory. Myself I am in central Europe with no affiliation to the US but you'd have to live under a rock, if you've missed the buildup to this debate
Welcome to my rock, i guess.
I'm vaguely aware that the USA is gearing up for another political tragedy, but who, living outside of the USA, actually follows that stuff? Can't influence the outcome much either way if you can't vote, except perhaps by spreading propaganda.
Its frontpage material in all 3 scandinavian media (denmark sweden norway). I imagine most of the world really though. Although the rest of the world has no influence on the result, the result has a huge impact on the rest of the world
Yes, the USA is a master of making itself seem much more powerful and important than it really is, and what do news outlets love more than painting the devil onto the walls? Denmark living in the USA's pocket doesn't help much either.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if more Europeans know the presidents of China, Russia, and the USA than know the name of our own European prime minister, which would be pretty sad if actually true.
Of course it's important to know what other countries are up to, and the EU is currently reliant on the USA for conflict handling (please make a joint European army), but unless you plan to intervene then I see no reason to fanatically follow their politics. Just tell me whether we'll have to deal with some ancient inept dude, or another ancient inept dude who has managed to weaponize incompetence.
Yeah, I bet most people don't even know she's a woman (I assume when you say EU PM, you mean president of the European Commission)
Yup, our everybody's dear Ursula. I realize that Europe has many institutes and multiple unions, but I feel that the EU best represents Europe as a whole. And, of the multiple bodies the EU is made of, the European Commission often lays face to news and is said to hold the most "power".
You say you're not tuned in to any of this yet you're here talking about it and have presumably read through the comments to know the context. This is like peak redditor energy.
Biden starts talking to ghosts..
