what is the worst case scenario that can happen at the presidential debate?
Waiting for the presidential debate feels like waiting for a train to crash. But how bad can it be?
What are your guesses at what will happen? I am curious to compare the answers to what actually happens tonight

Yes, the USA is a master of making itself seem much more powerful and important than it really is, and what do news outlets love more than painting the devil onto the walls? Denmark living in the USA's pocket doesn't help much either.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if more Europeans know the presidents of China, Russia, and the USA than know the name of our own European prime minister, which would be pretty sad if actually true.
Of course it's important to know what other countries are up to, and the EU is currently reliant on the USA for conflict handling (please make a joint European army), but unless you plan to intervene then I see no reason to fanatically follow their politics. Just tell me whether we'll have to deal with some ancient inept dude, or another ancient inept dude who has managed to weaponize incompetence.
Yeah, I bet most people don't even know she's a woman (I assume when you say EU PM, you mean president of the European Commission)
Yup, our everybody's dear Ursula. I realize that Europe has many institutes and multiple unions, but I feel that the EU best represents Europe as a whole. And, of the multiple bodies the EU is made of, the European Commission often lays face to news and is said to hold the most "power".
