If The Debate Moderator Won’t Ask Biden Tough Questions, Trump Should  "Heading into the second and final presidential debate tonight, with less than two weeks until Election Day, voters deserve some straight answers from Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. And if debate moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News won’t ask Biden the tough questions — and we all know she won’t — then President Trump should.

"First and foremost, Trump should ask Biden about the trove of emails uncovered last week by the New York Post. Earlier this week, Trump’s campaign said that if the media didn’t ask Biden about this, Trump would, “and there will be no escape for Biden.” 

"The emails expose a massive foreign corruption scheme, showing how the younger Biden was profiting off his family name in a series of overseas business deals that appear to have involved his father. The elder Biden has so far refused to answer any questions about the substance of those emails, instead angrily attacking anyone who brings up the Post’s reporting and claiming it’s all part of a “smear campaign” against him and his family. Last year Biden insisted, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.' ” . . .

Former Vice President Joe Biden will take the debate stage for the final time tonight as new questions surrounding his son's overseas business ventures explode.

Here’s everything you need to know about the bombshells altering the dynamics of an already contentious race two weeks out.

Is this the real reason they've been hidin' Biden before the debate?   . . . Assuming it's correct, the schedule-alteration process could be facilitated by keeping Biden in rooms with full-spectrum lighting during his new waking hours so that, maybe, "sundown" for him is 12 A.M.

"Whatever the case, the person managing Biden's dementia has got to be the most competent individual aiding his campaign.  After all, the ex–vice president couldn't remember the name of the man he worked under for eight years, Barack Obama, in August.  Yet he seemed very much like his old old self in the Sept. 29 debate with Trump.

"This could be because Biden is on dementia medication — Namenda, to be precise — as a rumor allegedly from an ex-campaign staffer holds.  Or it could be that he was wearing a wire last month, as others contended, or that he got the debate questions in advance (à la Donna Brazile in 2016).  Or it could be a combination of factors.

"As for my theory, is it a stretch?  Perhaps, but I won't be too surprised if Joe's opening words to debate moderator Kristen Welker are "Good morning!' "
