CNN panel laughs off conservative's strategy for a Trump debate win
On Sunday morning, CNN contributor Bakari Sellers couldn't keep from laughing when former Donald Trump adviser David Urban suggested the former president could win Thursday's first presidential debate by being restrained and letting President Joe Biden talk.
Sellers was not the only "State of the Union" panelist to find Urban's suggestion laughable.
According to Urban, Trump won the last debate with Biden in 2020 but no one was watching so it didn't save him.
"The problem was nobody was watching the second debate because in the first debate president Trump was talking over Biden, wasn't letting him make his point," Urban recalled. "I think if former president Trump were smart, he would just say to the crowd, 'Are you better off now than you were four years ago?' and then just let Joe Biden talk."
"Just let him talk, don't try to overstep. Let him try to make his case because he has a record to defend. So if I was trapped, that's what I do here," he added.
As the panel laughed, Sellers joked, "He acts like Donald Trump is disciplined," to more laughter before adding, "That's not going to happen. Donald Trump is not going to stay on message."
"What we know about this debate though, is that the expectation level for Joe Biden is extremely low," he continued. "It's extremely low because Republicans set the bar in hell for him day in and day out when they call him infirm."
"In hell?" fill-in host Kaitlan Collins interrupted.
"In hell, that's as low as low as the bar can be," Sellers replied to more laughter.
