Hillary Clinton Using Psychologists to Bait Trump into Losing Control in the Debates

Breitbart ^ | 8/30/2016 | PATRICK HOWLEY

From the beginning, Donald Trump has been vulnerable to getting baited into confrontations that do not serve him well.

There was the Chris Matthews interview in Wisconsin, where the MSNBC host purposefully baited him into giving the cable network a terrible sound byte about Trump’s abortion policy. Trump has mostly learned from that.

But now, a new trap is being set.

The New York Times reports:

Her team is also getting advice from psychology experts to help create a personality profile of Mr. Trump to gauge how he may respond to attacks and deal with a woman as his sole adversary on the debate stage.

They are undertaking a forensic-style analysis of Mr. Trump’s performances in the Republican primary debates, cataloging strengths and weaknesses as well as trigger points that caused him to lash out in less-than-presidential ways.

As Mrs. Clinton pores over this voluminous research with her debate team, most recently for several hours on Friday, and her aides continue searching for someone who can rattle her as a Trump stand-in during mock debates, Mr. Trump is taking the opposite tack. Though he spent hours with his debate team the last two Sundays, the sessions were more freewheeling than focused, and he can barely conceal his disdain for laborious and theatrical practice sessions.

Desperation time by Monster Hillary. Trump is being warned 10 times a day about this....LMAO!!

[Sam Gamgee]

Well, I think righteous anger is a good thing - one step before losing control would be good.

[uncitizen]

Is mind games all you got, Hillary? Too bad, because Trump has ideas, plans, guts, courage, the support of many, many, MANY of more Americans than you do!

[cp124]

Trump should get a hypnosist and figure what to say or a tone to get Hillary to go into seizure.

Does anyone remember Obama did this as well?...

Not trying to get all new-age on y'all, but this might work for DJT, it is about her issues when she attacks him. Stay on message for the American people, and you will be just fine. Let others swat at the gnats...

[tumblindice]

But they will need sympathetic Stephanopolis -type straight men moderators.
Trump should tell the debate commission what will work for him and what won’t.

[Qiviut]

Forewarned is forearmed.

“Is mind games all you got, Hillary?”

The progressive scu&bags are best at mind games.
The problem is that a large part of the electorate loves it.

IMHO

I just got a new smart phone with a flashlight. I want to find a strobe app on the off chance that I ever get close enough to see if it affects hillary. Purely for academic reasons of course.

[TomGuy]

Trump needs to put Clinton on the defense early. That will fluster her. Then keep her on the defensive until she turns shrill.

[exit82]

Trump should wear a tie that emits a strobe like design—watch Hillary go into a petit mal.

[Williams]

Her real weapons are the moderators and the audience.

[Talisker]

As Mrs. Clinton pores over this voluminous research with her debate team, most recently for several hours on Friday...

Translation: they couldn't wake her up from her nap.

[blackdog]

I have been in the work place for 35 years involved with engineering groups. I have seen this tactic backfire so badly it's not funny.

When you have certain employees who know how to push others hot buttons it creates chaos in the small groups. But when the debate is in front of real decision makers the hot button pusher looks like a little $hit, bent on personal attacks.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Cankles has to worry about losing control of her bowels.

[tioga]

Prayers that Trump can come off as Presidential and stately, while Hillary comes off as shrill and unstable. Praise God and thank you.

[uncitizen]

Hilary has never played mind games Face to face with Trump on national TV. The public will love it, yes, but they’ll be rooting for Trump.
