I dreamt that in order to prepare both candidates for the upcoming debates, there was going to be a practice dry run pseudo-debate on Zoom.
The moderator(M) started off with the same question for both of the Presidential candidates.
It went something like this:
M: “Mr. Vice President, since you are considerably older than your opponent, you will have the honor of going first.”
JB: “Thank you, Ma’am, but I don’t think that I’m actually the Vice President now. Can you repeat the question?
M: “I haven’t asked a question, yet. Okay, here goes . . .
“What has Joe Biden done for the voters lately?”
JB: “Well first of all, sir, I am not really that much older than what’s-his-name. . . In dog years the difference in our ages would only be . . . err, subtraction was never my strong suit. Can you restate the question, sir?
M: “What have you done for the voters lately?”
JB: LONG PAUSE . . . “Nothing! As I spend my time in my basement.”
M: Let me rephrase the question: “What have you, Joe Biden, ever done for the voters?“
JB: LONGER PAUSE: “Now that I think about it . . . NOTHING!”
M: “Thank you, Joe.
M: “What have you, President Trump, done for the people of the United States lately?”
DT: “Where should I start?
“Tax reform, deregulation, judges bound to the Constitution, fewer military operations overseas, standing up to China on trade, border security, no more free rides for our NATO allies, walking away form the disastrous Paris Climate Accord, getting us out from under the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal, a so-called treaty that was never ratified by the Senate, Jerusalem, . . .”
M: “Okay, Mr. Trump, your time is up.”
DT: “But I was just beginning to fully answer your question. I have a lot more to say concerning what I have done.”
M: “Mr. Biden, are you ready for your next question?”
JB: “Not right now, as I have to go back to my basement.”
M: “But you are already in your basement.”
Suddenly Zoom went dark!
JB: “Is it bedtime already? What day is it?”
