Will 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.

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.

On her and Bill's personal life, and will put him in his place. The debate should be fun. If Trump shows up.

But you have to believe that the moderators are going to feel like they've got a little more license to sit on his bullchit.

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

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.

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
