Trump on Debating Clinton: "I Like Being Off The Cuff," Will Be A "Very Interesting" Evening
RCP Video ^ | 8-17-2016 | Ian Schwartz

Donald Trump talks stamina, trusting the intelligence community and Hillary Clinton with classified intelligence, the presidential debates and more in an interview with FOX & Friends that was broadcasted Wednesday morning. Trump told the FOX News Channel that Clinton's greatest achievement will be dodging charges on her private server.

(snip)

Trump on whether he trusts the intelligence community:

TRUMP: Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. I mean look what's happened over the last 10 years. Look what's happened over the years. I mean it's been catastrophic. ....

(snip)

Trump on Hillary Clinton receiving classified intelligence briefings:

TRUMP: Well I'm worried about her getting it because of her email situation, she can't keep anything private. .....

(snip)

Trump on being "off the cuff" in the debates:

TRUMP: Well I look very much forward to it. I like being off the cuff. You know I've been in 11 debates, I never debated before. My whole life is a debate. But I've never debated before. And I really enjoyed the debates. I guess I did well in the debates based on all of those polls that they did after the debates.

But I look forward to it. I think that you know Hillary really has made tremendous mistakes. She's got terribly bad judgment. If you think about Bernie Sanders, what he used to say all the time is, she suffers from bad judgment, and she does. And I look forward to the debates. I think it will be a very interesting evening.

As I read through the posts, I laugh, and I agree with you all...Flashing lights, standing, 2 hours, no breaks, one question right after another, and Trump gets to pick the Mods...

But by the time the debates take place, Honey Badger Bannon is going to have her dropping out...and Trump can take on Kaine and tear him up...

Oh the delight of politics have never been so great as this year!!!

The debates will certainly be interesting. I foresee Hillary trying to pull a stunt to re-enact her senate run debate with Lazio, who “physically” intimidated her by approaching her lectern with papers. Bad move on Lazio’s part, and Hillary made the most of it.

I also foresee the moderators trying to humiliate Trump with pop quiz questions about leaders’ names from various countries, or questions about policy names, or Constitutional amendments.

Hillary will have all questions in advance and will rattle off answers, just like the dem primary debates.

Trumps best play is right out of the gate, not answer the question, but ask Hillary hey shelied about the email server. Force the mods to come to her aid.

Then at the news conference the next day he can show that the mods basically were against him and protected Hillary from answering a question.

I hope Trumps team practices all the possible eventualities including Benghazi Clinton fainting or just dropping dead on the stage.

I am a DIE HARD football fan and would NEVER consider watching a game over the debate. Especially a game so early in the year.

I’m frankly shocked that’s the best they can do.

I’m surprised billary didn’t set up a one night only production of never before scenes from Gone With the Wind, The Godfather and Citizen Cane.

How many times will moderators intervene for HER to try and save her?
Unless the debate moderators are trained paramedics, I'm not sure how that'll work.

Standing at a podium, no stools, no breaks, 2 hours, bright lights, multiple moderators who interrupt each other, a camera on both candidates at all times.

Trump should ask hillary if she’s feeling okay every15 minutes or so or if she needs to take a break during the debates... that would be priceless ...

Both of you nailed it. We would witness a total meltdown of the bitch that I would pay good money to see.

Go after her like a man. If she can’t take say Islamic terrorists aren’t going to be near so nice to her.
