They finally made a button to mute Trump. Sadly, only works during the debate.

Had to be done, the last debate was awful.  Still gonna be a lot of talking over each other though, but at least there will be two minutes of not having to worry about it...

Yup. And Trump's campaign is arguing that the fact that he can't interrupt is unfair to him. 

I think this could be be a good thing for Biden. Maybe it's just the low bar set by the Trump campaign claiming he has dimentia, and by Trump being Trump, but I think he's been doing really well in speeches and in the town hall. He really knows policy. If anything, he tells you too much. He's also been good at attacking Trump without becoming like Trump (at least when Trump isn't actually interrupting him ever two seconds). His answer about the DOJ potentially going after Trump was pretty much perfect.

At some point Trump will definitely try to bring up Hunter Biden... I think if Biden wants to be clever he finds a way to address it first. Take the punch out of the big gotcha Trump think he has. How exactly to address it, I don't know. I don't have enough of the details. But come out early, say how proud he is of his son, blast the release of photos of him struggling with addiction, and point to the Senate probe finding nothing I guess. I think that's the play.
