On the Twelve Days of the Election

Trump is clearly convinced that he’s losing, which is bad news for us and the integrity of our liberal democratic system. The more threatened he feels, the more the craziness quotient goes up. With less than two weeks to go and the polls looking really bad, the sky’s the limit.

What will he try at the debate? Trevor Noah is apparently making jokes about him screaming or trying to grab Biden’s microphone when his is muted; I don’t think that is implausible at all. Will he run over to Biden and try to make a citizen’s arrest? Will he and his entourage show up without masks and try to make everyone sick? Who knows?

It’s not physically possible to hold your breath for twelve days, but that’s really what’s required here.
