On this episode of Ruthless, the show kicks off with pre-debate analysis. With Donald Trump and Joe Biden facing off for the first time, the show dives into the strategies and stakes at play. The fellas discuss why Biden can't win but can force Trump to lose and how Biden's team might have underestimated Trump's willingness to accept any terms.
As the first debate of the 2024 election season, the stakes are incredibly high for both candidates.

The fellas explain the agreed-upon structure, including time allocations for responses and rebuttals, and the strategic choices made by both campaigns regarding podium positions and closing statements.
