Remember that Joe totally shredded all of trump’s alleged “foreign policy” at the townhall the other night.

I’m gonna disagree: despite you and I (and most Lizards, I’m sure) looking on Trump’s foreign policy as an embarrassing shitshow, I think- as far as public opinion goes - it’s the one last vague, flimsy straw he has to cling on to to try to even remotely appear “Presidential”, and he’s going to try - one would imagine - to flog it for everything it’s worth in a debate.

Of course, it’s likely to be the usual simpleminded boilerplate (“I love Israel! I hate China! I love Saudi Arabia! I hate Iran!) and its mindless corollary (“Joe hates Israel! Joe loves China! Joe hates the Saudis! Joe loves Iran!”) , plus the usual fan favorites about “open borders” and “MS-13 gang caravans” and whatever, but the big problem for Biden and rhe Democrats is that this shit plays well in the “heartland”; and given that the “MSM” is probably going to pathetically grasp at that same, last, pathetic straw as the last chance for a “Presidential pivot”, a FP-centered debate is not going to be the runaway it should…
