So tonight, I’m officially offering Joe the chance to redeem himself in front of the entire world ... Let’s do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that he has what it takes to be president.
It will be among the most-watched sporting events in history—maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even The Masters.
