Are the stakes high in the debate?
Not for Trump. No matter how badly he does he will not go below 45% of the vote. No matter how well he does he will not go above 45% of the vote.
For Kamala, on the other hand, she needs to do well or it's game over. The last debate ended a president's career. Yeah, the stakes are very fucking high.
I'll have the 14 year Glenfiddich single malt scotch ready like last time.
