I'm REALLY looking forward to Clinton / Trump debates

[Nac Mac Feegle]

It should be 90+ minutes of absolutely gut-busting comedy.

Hillary calmly answering, and Trump jumping up and down, hooting and flinqing feces.

What kind of alcohol goes best with popcorn?



Thom Hartmann made the observation (to paraphrase) "Everything we know about Hillary we got from right-wing radio and Faux news."

She's breaking that up.


I'm really stoked about the future, but I KNOW we have to work for it.

1. I'll be surprised if he agrees to debate

No doubt he will find some excuse to weasel out of it.

[Frank Cannon]

7. I agree. No way would he want to do this.

I know he's crazier than a shithouse rat, but he still has to have enough self-awareness to know that this CANNOT go well for him. He will come up with some bogus reason why he can't do it, and the media will be all too happy to give him a free pass.

[Warpy]

2. I think it might not happen

and if it does, he will have half a dozen canned speeches prepared for prearranged questions.

He's not the first ignorant dumbass they've run. We know their formula. It's why the League of Women Voters no longer hosts or moderates the debates. They were wise to the Gish Gallop and other Republican bullshit and wouldn't stand for it.

If Drumpf doesn't stomp on his tongue, he will be declared the winner because of his superior masculine logic.

3. I imagine trump is trying to figure out a way out of it right about now

[ChoppinBroccoli]

4. No, I'm Sure He'll Go Through With It

He's probably practicing his sarcastic faces in the mirror right now. He'll do exactly what he did in the Republican debates: interrupt, insult, make faces, spew lies, and generally make an ass of himself hoping to get under her skin and make her lose her temper. He'll give a bunch of bluster without giving any actual answers. He'll throw out "facts" he made up off the top of his orange head literally seconds before. He'll get his ass kicked and then go on Twitter minutes later and declare himself the victor. Come on, you know this is exactly how it will go.

The people who don't think he'll show up to debate don't seem to recognize his sociopathic personality at all. OF COURSE he's going to show up to the debates. He's never seen a spotlight he didn't love.

6. Ricky Lazio can tell him how well that works

[Frank Cannon]

8. Like he could ever fluster Hillary.

She has a long, established history of enduring the slings and arrows of right-wing assclowns.

No, the only person on the debate stage who would be completely losing their shit is the one with the ridiculously tiny hands.

[arthritisR_US]

5. There won't be any debates. nt

[Judi Lynn]

9. I think he'll chicken out, as well. n/t

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. If Trump doesn't debate her...

... then repeated ads of him bloviating about how easily he would beat Clinton in a debate should be aired mercilessly. For example: http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2015/09/11/trump-debate-clinton-sot-ctn.cnn

[arthritisR_US]

18. I think that's a brilliant idea!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. If he won't debate there's a simple solution

Just have Hillary do a moderated solo standup Q&A. She'll give her reasonable answers to all the reasonable questions without having the Orange-utan slinging his shit around.

[kairos12]

14. She could borrow Eastwood's empty chair.

BTW I loved The Prisoner. Still ahead of its time.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. It will require a strong moderator.

Trump will try to answer all his questions, and all of Clinton's questions. He'll talk over her, and he's very loud.

It is amazing how loud he is. You'll just love how loud he is.

[MoonRiver]

13. If he doesn't debate he's toast.

He will finally be completely exposed for the cowardly bully he is. Hillary would have a field day with such outrageous behavior. Just imagine the ads!

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. He's not only a cowardly bully.

He's just not very smart. The only comebacks he knows are those of a 4th grade boy.

I just read something yesterday that no one really knows how well he did in school because he hasn't ever released any information on the years he was in school. My guess is that he was just a rich boy who didn't do much and didn't see any need to even try. I would guess that his grades were pretty awful.

Hillary would make mincemeat of the guy.

[MoonRiver]

16. And that is why I think he's desperately trying to find a way to back out.

My guess is if he does refuse to debate her, against his handlers' advise, Manafort will quit. Manafort is a total sleeze, but he can spot a complete loser when he sees one. And that's what DimDon will definitely be if he doesn't debate Hillary. He will also be a loser if he does debate. But at least he wouldn't seen as a terrified rabbit, hiding from the big bad wolf, lol.

[RexCasual]

17. But it will be dangerous for Hillary

Because Big Don will want to "hit" her every time she schools him and there will be no mysterious "governor" to call to dissuade him. If I was Hillary, I'd request a wall of burly security guards separating their respective podiums just in case he takes a notion to physically attack her.
