SNL does what it does best: Last night's cold open

I enjoyed that one. Thanks for the reminder.

I have heard rumors of a Trump/Biden debate. Each has mentioned at different times they would be open to a debate, but I'm skeptical that it would ever happen. But, that could make a great SNL skit.

Are you thinking they can complete their entire campaigns without ever debating one another in person? Short of another outbreak of Covid and the need to resort to a Zoom debate, how would voters respond if B & T don't have a live meeting? And T, of course, would be taunting B and holding him up to ridicule if B
sits this out.

Since seeing the State of the Union Address, I have more confidence that B can hold his own and perhaps come out even or better. If challenged to, he should debate.

Donald has avoided traditional debate forums through the primary, so I don't see why that wouldn't continue. And I could see a Biden logic in avoiding a debate since Trump would lie through much of it. It would be an interesting match of the "minds", though. I would hope to see it.

Some time down the road it would be interesting to see what Trump's policies would actually be, besides releasing the Capitol riot "tourists" and closing the border on his first day in office.
