It’s always hazardous to make predictions about presidential debates. One upshot of tonight’s featuring the first of three scheduled between Donald Trump and Joe Biden seems bankable, however.

Based on the evidence available in the course of the campaign to date, the former Vice President will likely show signs of infirmity.

If so, the question is: Will his condition be widely perceived as disqualifying as a candidate for what is, arguably, the world’s most demanding job? 

Two thoughts occur: First, the Democratic Party might be blamed for elder-abuse in selecting and exploiting such a nominee. 

Second, its ticket’s recent references to a “Harris” and “Harris-Biden” administration obviously portend a coming change in the Democratic line-up – maybe not after the election, though, but before it.

Given such a development’s wild implications for the campaign’s endgame and outcome, that must be sorted out now.
