I would encourage the former VP to go on the attack. Do not let up. Do not give Trump an opening to launch into one of those riffs that his &#8220;base&#8221; just eats up.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t expect this debate to have quite the gravitas as that first Nixon-Kennedy encounter. Those men had two more debates in 1960; they became increasingly contentious. Biden and Trump will meet three times as well. I expect fully that their encounters will become angry to the point of bordering on outright rage.<\/p>\n<p>My fondest hope is that Biden keeps his cool, stays focused on Trump&#8217;s hideous record compiled during his term in office and remains &#8230; and exposes Trump to be the phony so many of us know him to be.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=MAGA%20%40JoeBiden%20%23JFK%20%23RichardNixon%20%23presidentialdebate&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By JOHN KANELIS \/ johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com I wasn&#8217;t quite 11 years of age in 1960 when Vice President Richard Nixon faced off against Sen.
