Has everyone seen the "why aren't I ahead by 50 points" video? All Trump has to do is stand there, and Clinton will win it for him.

Quoted:
Honestly? I think Clinton has been rope-a-doping and will come out of the gates way better than any of us are expecting her to. She's a career politician, this is what she does…she won't be beaten easily. Trump has to stay calm, stay on message, and appear in control and "presidential". Trump doesn't have to "win" he just has to "beat the spread". If he can do good enough on the policy stuff, look good (see JFK vs. Nixon), and avoid putting his foot in his mouth that would be ideal. He needs to play it as safe as his personality will allow. If she goes into a coughing fit or fainting spell all bets are off. An interesting discussion is what should Trump do if she can't stop coughing or looks like she is about to faint? I think he needs to be as chivalrous as possible without looking tacky; maybe let her cough for an awkward bit and then request they go to commercial (no commercials currently planned). View Quote Media will spin that as him benefiting from the commercial break by having some form of vested interest. ![]() |

I think Trump will do fine, I expect he will be presidential, but will be slipping in some barbs on email sandwich whenever he sees the chance to, which should get the cunt rattled and off her game...lone that starts..she is going to hit ugly fast....should be epic...

Anything less than a huge win for trump is a win for hillary. View Quote I see it as the exact opposite. Expectations are for him to get a couple of blows in while she puts the crowd to sleep. She wins with her clear and concise vision, he gains votes. The real winner is the media. If this is a record setter, expect every debate to be a polls tied/dead heat/nail biter. |

It's gonna be a shitshow. Everyone will say the candidate they already supported beforehand dominated the debate. Undecided voters will simply weep for the future of our country.

People here need to start drinking now, and resolve themselves to a big night for Hillary.
1) No matter what happens, no matter how well Donald does, it will be spun in the media as a Hillary win. The debates don't matter so much as the reporting of the debates, because more people will see the summaries than the actual event. The media will make it a Hilldawg win. 2) Lester Holt WILL throw a bullshit gotcha at Donald. He's probably been working with a crack staff and Hillary operatives to craft one that lets Lester look impartial but is designed to elicit a response or soundbite. Donald is debating Lester, not so much Hillary tonight. Believe it. Expect a Candy Crowley moment on steroids. 3) This is the most important point...Hillary is not going to stroke out. Despite all our greatest hopes, there won't be a coughing fit, bout of the falling sickness, or anything like that. We've built it up so much here that people expect it to happen. It won't sorry to say. I am sending every positive vibe I can towards Donald for a big night, a nail in the coffin night, but realistically speaking, it would take Hillary passing the fuck out mid-sentence for this night be anything but a resounding win for her, one that the media will repeatedly report seals the deal and why even bother with actual voting because it's a slam dunk? The post-debate blitz will be focused on suppressing voting on the right, and energizing the left. They ave to do it, no matter what, and they will. |

So a while back, before she selected her debate stand-in, I was listening to some great insider analysis from a panel who has done these debate preps. They said that Donald in fact does present the biggest challenge because of is unpredictability and willingness to go where no other candidate does. This is a challenge for the prep because anyone she selects has to be willing to essentially burn a bridge with her. Say things so fucked up that Hillary perhaps never forgives it, and kills your future career. Otherwise, if they don't go there, she won't be prepared if Donald actually does. I highly doubt Donald goes there tho...I do expect him to try and be super Presidential and level headed tonight. |

What I Think will happen: Clinton does better than expected with full media support and post-game spin.
What I hope happens: trump sys the time in his opening remarks with something like, "I know you've had some problems, hillary. If these lights are too hot and you start to feel faint, let us know and we will make sure you get a fan and some cool water. Also, it was my understanding that this event would be without earpieces so feel free to take yours out or have your whisperer come on stage. I'll be glad to debate both of you at the same time as long as both of you are present. " |

at some point, Hillary, being bothered by the height difference between her and Trump,
starts to stand on the molding at the bottom of her podium. She starts to have a dizzy spell, clutches at the podium causing it to fall over with her clinging to it. Clinton's medical team races on the stage, declares that she cannot continue the debate - Trump wins the election in a landslide ![]() |

You never get tired of being wrong in your predictions, do you? Oh, you have serious money down in Vegas on Hillary stroking out tonight? You can wishful think this all you want, but ask yourself how pretty much every debate in the last 25 years has gone...when do they ever call a Republican win a win? Republicans at best get a tie, no matter how they do. If it is a rare dominating performance, then they maybe call it a slight edge and then stack the deck in the next one. Remember when Romney trounced Obama in the first debate? The best the media admitted to was lack of energy for Obama, and then Candy rode in to save the day in a later debate. Don't be naive dude. I want it to happen, I desperately want it to happen, but you watch the media blitzkrieg tomorrow. |

25% chance of the Hillary camp claiming there's some sort of "security issue" and calling it off so she doesn't stroke out on live TV.
50% chance she takes a 45min bathroom break. 24% chance she stays on stage but has a weak showing. 1% chance the reptilian's bodysuit fails and they have to rush her off stage to get her back under her heat lamp. Just like New York ![]() 100% chance the Hilldabeast claims Trump is a racist. |

When Hillary debated The Socialist, she held her own and came across as exaggerated in accomplishments, and boring, but the Bern was low energy and he was not hitting back. Hillary will be in unfamiliar territory with Trump. All he needs to do is hit her over the head with issues in plane speak. Hillary cannot talk in plane, she comes out condescending and shrill . Trump is going to hit her, and hit her hard. |

Hillary will have a detailed script for talking points and what she'll say. This includes criticisms and attacks on Trump, of course. Trump is the loose cannon. I'd like to think he has a plan, but I doubt it. If he doesn't hurt himself with what he says he's got a shot to gain from the debate.

I think despite all the media spin, regardless of the "issues" and policy that are discussed, Trump will gain from the debate. It has noting to do with anything either of them say, its just a fact of human nature.

The one bright point is that if the ferns interview was any indication, Clintons idea of "professional and dignified" tends to come across more as "super awkward and robotic". The bad news is if they saw the reaction from that interview she might try something else. |

Trump will be smooth, relaxed, Presidential and stick to delineating the differences between his policies and Hillary's. "Are you better off now than you were 8 yrs ago? You've been in Washington for 30 yrs. and had every opportunity to make things better but you haven't." Trump has a good sense of humor which I expect he'll use against Hilly too. I think she'll be terrified when she waddles onto the stage. ![]() View Quote I'll go with this prediction. Trump will be much better on policy issues than most viewers expect. If you watched the his press conference during the DNC you have seen how good he is when it is time to be good. Now is the time. |

Hillary will try to appear lively and fail, while playing 'feels' buzzword bingo. Trump will try to dial it back and largely succeed. Media will pick one phrase and use it out of context to declare Hillary the winner.
No significant momentum change. In my mind this comes down to if any more major dirt comes to light on Clinton. If it does Trump wins. If the race stays as expected, Hillary wins by 1-2 swing states. |

Could care less. It makes no difference. My mind was made up long ago.

I think Trump knows the media will call it for Hilldawg. It's too damn obvious at this point who's corner they are in. Between the live viewership and the clips replayed all over everyone in the nation will see this thing. And they will see it in the way that the Clinton campaign wants it shown. Trump and damn near anyone with one eye and half sense knows this. The independents, undecideds, and not voting because Bernie / Cruz didn't make it demographic are all that Trump can gain or lose in these things. And I think Trump has a pretty good shot with them still yet.
