Clinton Prepares for Two Trumps at Debate

https://politicalwire.com/2016/09/21/clinton-prepares-for-two-trumps-at-debate/

"SNIP..............


“Hillary Clinton is preparing for two different foes in Monday’s presidential debate: an on-message, disciplined Donald Trump and a freewheeling, more provocative Donald Trump,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The Democratic nominee has cleared her schedule on multiple days to test arguments and practice for her first 90-minute matchup with the GOP nominee. This week, she has convened a small group of top advisers to run through potential questions and help her anticipate an assortment of scenarios.”

“In contrast, Mr. Trump has played down the value of doing dry runs and warned of the perils of over-preparation.”

They'll shut it down if it starts happening, or use production techniques to keep it off TV.

6. I didn't imagine anyone had reason to believe Trump about his lack of preparation...

It's pretty obvious he's going to memorize a handful of "zingers" for each of the topics outlined. That's a lot of work for someone like him.
