7. Joe, based on the experience he’s gained in Ukraine and China, do you agree that Hunter has the “creds” to be our Secretary of State? 

6. Sir, haven’t your comments from the White House podium stoked the righteous passions of all those peaceful protesters? 

5. Mr. Vice President, why is it so important for you to condemn Antifa or BLM rioters?   Nobody’s ever asked you to denounce Hitler or Charles Manson, have they? 

4.  Mr. Trump, why is your opponent wrong for merely opposing racism and demanding safety for all Americans? 

3. The policy of the Democratic platform and elected leaders across the nation is to allow abortion right up to the moment of birth.  Joe, you’re a good Catholic, aren’t you?

…and the NUMBER ONE QUESTION THAT CAN DEMONSTRATE “MODERATOR FAIRNESS” in the UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES is…

10. Joe, if I may be so bold, many observers believe that Mr. Trump won’t leave the White House voluntarily.   What are your thoughts?

8.  Boxers or briefs?   Please don’t let our minds run wild.

7. Once you are elected, what should we call your Delaware mansion’s basement?   The Eastern White House?  The Subterranean Shrine of the Oracle?

6. Isn’t it true that you did take that cognitive ability test, and now you are officially “Mensa-light?”

  5. Sir, when you and Senator Harris gaze into each other’s eyes, do you attain a sense of mind-melding?

4. Could you repeat that for the camera, Joseph?  You really are against rioting, killing and even looting, correct?

3. Was it your strong Catholic faith that enabled you to forgive Kamala for her campaign attacks ?

2. For which country would Hunter be the ideal ambassador: China or Ukraine?

…and the NUMBER ONE HARD-HITTING QUESTION JOSEPH BIDEN MAY be ASKED THIS WEEK by REPORTERS is:
