2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWill Donald cancel tomorrow's town hall appearance ?
Back in normal Trump-world (pre pu$$y), there was some conjecture that Donald would duck out of debate #2 based on his abysmal performance #1.
In Trump's new reality, does poor performance + proven poor character = hunkering down in the bunker ? Hell, by tomorrow night he might even be defending his loss of a running mate. How many top RNC folks are running around in panic screaming "we can't let him be seen by a national audience now".
At the same time, he's nothing if not egomaniacal. He might actually think he can salvage this with a wonderful performance tomorrow night.
I agree it would be unprecedented but what about this campaign is following any rules of logic ? I don't know. I just think the odds of him staying home pouting have gone way up in the last 24 hours.

(115,735 posts)Bill C's affairs (keep digging, Donald). Trump won't miss a chance to air his (perceived) grievances in a public forum - for him not to show up might make people think he's a loser, and he couldn't stand that.

In my perfect fantasy, tomorrow late afternoon around 5 some outtakes from The Apprentice fall out of the sky and he has to defend it life, without handlers massaging him with cue cards behind the camera.
I have so come to appreciate schadenfreude. I thought I knew it's joy in the past but nothing like this. lol

(41,987 posts)He said Trump was talking about all the adversity he's overcome. As a therapist I know this kind of language well. He doesn't think he's DONE something; he thinks something has been done to him. It's the clearest sign I know of that he has no will to change.

(9,263 posts)It's all a Clinton Obama liberal conspiracy pushed by liberal media...he will never address the words he used and the attitude it exemplifies....he will play the victim card.
I don't think it's gonna work...as too many mainstream conservatives are running to the hills
