Tomorrow night’s debate might be one of the most watched events in US television history, in competition with the Who Shot JR? cliffhanger and the last episode of MASH.
The stakes are high and nothing less than the White House. Failure tomorrow night for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton may signal the beginning of a permanent downward trend in their campaigns.
Hillary Clinton will walk on stage in the attack mode and with all the charm of a pit bull locked in a broom closet. Hillary’s soft side is a bed of nails. She’ll attempt to be tough and focused, but come across as she usually does, like the boss at work everyone despises.
She has no record to stand on. She did nothing as a Senator and her accomplishments as Secretary of State include jettisoning the Middle East into absolute chaos, while setting the precedent for the Iran Deal and the laughable Russian Reset.
Because she has no record to defend, she’ll focus on attacking Trump’s character. She’ll claim Trump doesn’t have the temperament for the job. She’ll say Trump hangs out with the Alt Right, Drudge and Alex Jones. She’ll try and paint Trump as a veritable new fuehrer, the racist leader in command of the basket of deplorables.
Trump must parry her by sidestepping away from the La Brea Tar Pits she’ll try and lure him into.
He must remain calm and channel his inner Dalai Lama; breathe deep, smile and speak softly, while walloping the wicked witch with a big stick of facts and more facts.
Trump can hit her on any number of subjects where she and the Democrats are vulnerable; from the wretched economy to ISIS, immigration, her email scandal and the reverse Robin Hood Clinton Foundation.
Hillary must hope for a Trumpian faux pas of atomic proportions. No matter how many times Kelly Anne Conway has undoubtedly told him, he could always say something completely non PC that would be loved by his always faithful locker room crowd of meat eaters, but despised by those sensitive swing voters, the college educated females.
With Hillary, it’s open season on any possible number of health issues which may explode underneath her at any moment. She could trip, stumble, bob, weave, faint, do a bobble head or give us that lovable Jaws smile. She will have no backup Secret Service agent with a kind word and a diazepam injector to rescue her from the crowd and Trump. She will have no step stool to sit on. She will be alone and standing and that 90 minutes out on the stage will seem like a lifetime to her.
Trump looks strong going into the arena at Hofstra tomorrow night. But, anything can happen and will. Let us hope the gods are smiling on Mr. Trump.
Well, we are dealing with Medusa here.
She is caught in a Catch 22. She has to piss him off. In doing so, or attempting to she comes across as “America’s Ex Wife”. No way she can win. Lose/lose.>>> and it would be great for him to act like the battered husband but he won’t he will attack and then lose.
In fact I predict will only refer to her as Mrs. Clinton, not “Hillary”. It shows respect to those who think that is appropriate and more importantly, it reminds everyone of the rapist-intern diddler she is married to. Win-win.
I’ll confess, I’m worried. Trump frequently comes across as pompous and condescending. Hillary has spent much of her adult life in the political arena. If she is lucid, appears healthy and is calm and collected, I think she will be perceived as winning the debate. If that happens I look for Hillary to get at least a 5 point bump in the polls, provided her handlers can pump enough steroids and other drugs into her to keep her upright for a couple of hours.
What u said!!!...
Some people will be seeing him for the 1st time so to speak...Stay Presidential and let Illary and the moderator act the fools...Fence sitters will notice...
.After all, it’s only the 1st debate...... to make a baseball analogy....he has 2 more strikes to crush her.....Lets see her best fastball...
He must always attack, but at the debate he must attack with restraint.
Thank goodness by this time tomorrow it will be over, then all the pundits will have more to write about.
But you’re right, if he can’t attack with restraint (meaning no personal attacks) then no attacks at all.
I’m hoping her collection bag leaks, floods the podium, shorts out the electronics and makes her microphone explode in a July 4’th fireworks sort of way.
In fact I predict will only refer to her as Mrs. Clinton, not “Hillary”. It shows respect to those who think that is appropriate and more importantly, it reminds everyone of the rapist-intern diddler she is married to. Win-win.>>> good point mrs clinton. not ugly bitch from hell. yugghe measure of restraint on everyone’s part.
Not enough. She is not perceived as warm and outgoing. If she is calm, she looks evil. If she goes into attack mode, she is shrill and that puts people off. Just based on her personna, she will lose. Then there are the lies and spins, obfuscation, deceit, and illegal crap on top of that. She is losing the debate even before it occurs.
Bump! BIG BUMP!
Anyone who has the slightest inclination to do anything that will add to the Killary's treasure chest (including being POTUS) should read these two books first. Both are by Barbara Olsen, an incredibly talented Conservative that died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks when the plane she was in was crashed into the Pentagon:
Hell to Pay, published in 1999
and
The Final Days, published posthumously on Oct 1, 2001.
Yes, these books are ancient history, written well over a decade ago. But Killary's MO was established even then. Read these books and compare her criminality back then with her criminality now. Little difference.
With Killary, you always get a criminal.
Reading these two books will give you a thorough tour of Killary's Warehouse of Skeletons.
That stupid black congressman from Maryland said today that Hillary admitted she made a mistake with the email server and “promised not to do it again”. That was funny!
Her health won’t be an apparent issue. She’ll be over medicated as a precaution against any accidental revelation onstage.
Yes. I’ve received a few questionnaires from the Trump campaign and one of my recommendations was to stay focused and calm.
Krauthammer just made an interesting point, "If he's boring he wins." Everyone is expecting him to act like he did in the intitial primary debates. He will not. I think he will have the same demeanor he had, i.e. Presidential, he had when he was with the President of Mexico.
His MO should be, "I'm already President." I'll have a discussion with Mrs. Clinton but she's not going to rile me, push my buttons. I'm going to ignore her as much as I can and speak to the American people. I realize that for a lot of Americans, this is my first chance to introduce myself as a Presidential 'Mr President'. I'm going to act like it and let Hillary throw as many barbs as she wants. I'm not going to take the bait. . a perfectly timed, "There you go again" might be the perfect debate replay.
Also, this thought from LC, http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/
"For all of the intrigue, manipulations and assistance of the press in attempting to smear my wife Melania, my family and my myself, continued tonight for Hillary Clinton, if the media cares to reveal the Truth, they would show the front row of my guests, who are a dozen women abused by Bill Clinton and set upon by Hillary Clinton to cover up these assaults by smearing them as bimbos, I call attention to the fact that these women are voting for me, and looking to me to make certain that this never happens again in an abuse of power against the American People from the White House."
"Game, Set, Match, Donald John Trump."
"That answered when Hillary Clinton attempts her theater in the first half hour, and it is all every American will remember from then to November 8th, when they vote in landslide for President Elect Donald Trump."
Interesting take. . .
OMG...seriously?
Man up, cupcake!!!
He has never gone off the rails and lost his cool and he won’t tonight. The media has painted the picture of him being an out of control psycho with his finger on the nuclear button.
The picture is solely based on the media’s reinterpretation of some quips and tweets, many of them simply sarcastic or funny, or in response to an attack from someone who said much worse.
She’ll be doped to the gills on uppers and stimulants.
Lets just hope that affects her performance negatively in other ways...
