Addressing just your thread title question and the options you provide, it is impossible for me to make a guess. There are simply too many known and unknown variables involved...most important is the question of what kind of role and actions the moderators decide to take.Kind of an odd question. Who do you think who perform the best at the first round of debates?
Keep in mind the following things:
The 1960 presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon set the tone for the rest of the debates. Nixon was recovering from a knee injury on the campaign trial. He was constantly sweating and looked exhausted after trying to campaign in all 50 states. Kennedy looked rested and articulate.
George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, struggled in his first debate against Gore and Kerry, and then gradually got better.
Barack Obama pretty much won all the debates between McCain and Romney. Although Romney had a strong third debate on foreign policy.
Donald Trump in 2016 didn't win any of the debates, but still able to get the competitive advantage at the end.
Despite Biden's speech impediment and stutter, he tends to do extremely well in one-on-one debates. He had the upper hand against Palin and Ryan.
How do you think it'll go this time around? Who will come out on top the first
I had a hard time deciding between a tie, both would underperform, or Chris Wallace. Since I am a Wallace fan because he is as close to fair as you can get, I voted for him. He's libel to make them both look silly.Kind of an odd question. Who do you think who perform the best at the first round of debates?

Sounds very partisan of you. Like it or not, Trump has an impressive list of accomplishments to run on. Biden has been in politics for 47 years and has very little to show for it....not to mention he is in serious cognitive decline.Both of them will perform terribly. Biden will show his age and Trump will just do his normal rambling garbage.
How is it partisan? I said Joe was old and Trump rambles like an idiot. They will both perform horribly.Sounds very partisan of you.

The moderators are all anti-Trump including Wallace, a biased lefty in disguise.
I don't think the debates should even happen without a fact checker. With all the Biden medical issues djt talks about, what will djt say when VP Biden asks him why he's gone to Walter Reed twice for unscheduled visits?Kind of an odd question.

At this point all Biden has to do is show up. That in itself might throw Trump off his game.I think Trump will absolutely destroy Biden. But, I also think that the spin from the media will be how "poised" Biden was and how he held is own because he didn't studder or say "look" as often as expected.
<- Not a fan of either
How is it partisan? I said Joe was old and Trump rambles like an idiot. They will both perform horribly.
I also firmly believe that if there really are voters that havn't decided by now (funny concept) and watch with intent that they will be shocked at how well Trump actually speaks because all they see are snippets on the news that are out of context or edited. Again, not a fan but Trump hasn't been given a fair shake.At this point all Biden has to do is show up. That in itself might throw Trump off his game.
