Trump Could Really Screw With The Other Members Of The Klown Kar Tonight If He......

tones himself down and acts presidential. The others will be prepared to attack him and if he pulls a 180 on them they will be befuddled and tripping on themselves. At the end of the debate then - Trump wins - because he will have come off as the sanest of the bunch.

Just a hunch on my part. But it would be interesting if he does take this approach.

it would be a dream if Hillary could face Trump.



I heard some woman on Fox saying Obama was being petty for calling out the republicans on the Iran deal.

Least petty president i can think of since FDR

I say he will be amongst the craziest. The smallest thing will set him off. and he will be abusive to the other guys. He's a carnival barker.

The media have put their entire stock into him lately. If he's his normal self, the republican electorate is going to eat that up, and the media will play that angle. If he comes off as sane, the media will play the angle of how he's not just a disruptor but has shown he can lead, etc. It's like when Bush went into the debates - as long as he didn't wet himself on stage, he as going to be the winner.
