But if this is the Trump who shows up for the debate, the Democrats — not just Biden — are in for a hard time.
It’s not out of the question that Democrats could have been well-positioned for an electoral routing. But it’s seeming evermore unlikely and Trump seems to be figuring out how to shift from base/primary fomenting to speaking to a wider audience.
