2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHow long into the 1st debate (if it happens) will Don the Con say "Crooked Hillary"....
.. and will the moderator call him on it, Will Trump stomp off stage? Will he get worse? Will he get thrown off?
And when can Hillary sue his dumb add for slander and libel for the "Crooked Hillary" bullshit?

(29,226 posts)I think he says it in his first question or first rebuttal.

(48,955 posts)Will he get thrown off? Probably not. Based on his primary debates, he only got thrown off when insults were slung back on him. And that never led to a sizeable bump up from his opponents. Clinton has the most challenging debate prep that a candidate has faced in a long time.
To trip him up she has to get bathe in the insult fest (which is all he does), but that counters any policy talk or any effort to maintain dignity over his gutter-talk.

Libel laws are very one-sided and it's the reason that conservative propagandists can repeatedly get away with their lying nonsense about our government.
If a corporation was accused of hiding aliens from another planet for nefarious reasons, they could more easily sue and win.

(762 posts)His antics will destroy any pretense of a serious debate. If they keep reprimanding him every time he does something bizarre or resorts to name-calling, that will be all that happens. Trump will say that the debate was rigged and he didn't get to speak. I figure that the moderators won't even try to control him; partly for the ratings and partly because they don't know how to control him.

(22,976 posts)And I hope she does. The "moderators and journalists" this year have been exceptionally poor with controlling Trump and not calling out the major bullshit spin.

(395 posts)Even if they say to stop I don't expect him too. We will have his excuse ready.
In Trump camp, what can they do to make him stop? Media is pretty tame to him so far way does he suspect any different from the mods.
