Totally unsolicited advice to the @JoeBiden debate prep-team. The first time Trump attacks with a ridiculous, unsubstantiated lie (which will be minute two), stop everything and say this:

"Donald Trump is going to attack me, because he& #39;s got nothing else top run on. But know...
...that each of these attacks is an act of projection.

He says of me what he fears of himself. He& #39;s weak. He& #39;s lost a step. He& #39;s controlled by extremists. His children are grifters & the people who he surrounds himself with are fools. Each time he says Joe Biden, what he...
...means is himself.

Now, I don& #39;t want to do this. I want to talk about issues and solutions and a way forward and so I& #39;m not going to respond to his broadsides, especially because I know that the person he thinks is the least capable person to run the country is himself."
Biden can& #39;t spend three hours chasing down every insane conspiracy theory and so he& #39;s best off just shutting it down the moment Trump starts.

Trump hates himself, but can& #39;t face that.

Make that the frame.
