“President Trump has framed the first general election debate as a test for his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden,” the New York Times reports.
“Yet he has simultaneously set the bar so low for so long that many of his supporters — having watched unflattering, often manipulated clips of Mr. Biden in Trump campaign advertisements or on Fox News — are now expecting the president to mop the floor with an incoherent opponent in something resembling a W.W.E. match.”
“Democrats — and even some Republicans — believe that is not likely to happen.”
