This backs up my theory that the millennials who could not wait to vote for Ofail will not turn out for Sickery.

Hillary has all the personality of a boiled clam. Without any drawn butter.

but I am adverse to seeing an old feeble woman who needs rest forced to stand.

That's like feeling sorry for Ma Barker.

Hillary would do well to not drop dead at the podium.

Hillary plans an announcement at the debate:

"You got two for one when Bill ran for president.
Same in 2016---let me introduce my running mate."

She has to stand unassisted for 90 minutes

She'll be Velcroed to the podium.

All Trump needs to do is appear Presidential and avoid saying anything stupid.

People are looking for an excuse to vote Trump.

I think you are absolutely right. Hillary cannot get any more voters than she already has, IMO. It is just a matter of disaffected and (eyeroll) undecided voters going to Trump, Johnson or Stein. Trump has the mo-jo.

“I’m hoping not, folks, but there is that outside possibility that the witch does just fine during the debate. Lord knows the media and her handlers are trying to cover all the bases!

I am remaining cautiously optimistic that she goes bat-shit crazy though!”

For what it’s worth, I share your attitude exactly.

I hesitate to sound like suspecting she will do adequately means HOPING she does, but it feels like too much to wish for that she goes bat-shit crazy onstage.

There should be a thread where people can post their predictions, earning told-you-so rights after the event.

I’d be betting the same. But as despicable as this is, we know to expect it. I think Trump is smart enough to know it, too.

Hopefully he is well-prepared to handle questions that he doesn’t know enough about to answer. He’s already done that in interviews, expressing the very sensible idea that he is not a micromanager of every detail in the universe and that he has experts to advise him.

Hitlery’s advance knowledge of the questions might not be the bonus the liberals think. When she gets a planted question, she loves to ramble on and on and bore people with her supposed mastery of the details. Her fan base loves this, but to most everyone else, it comes across as obnoxious and fake.

“No one is tuning in to watch the Witch Of Chappaqua.”

She does have one solid potential upside and downside.

The questions about her health and stamina are now widespread. If she can seem vigorous and make it through the debate without an episode, that will go a long way toward quelling those fears.

OTOH, a coughing fit or an appearance of tiredness or weakness will hurt her. A seizure will pretty much seal the deal for Trump. So I predict she will be drugged up but good on stage to get her through.

Trump can win the debate by simply mocking Hillary’s Campaign for being all about this central theme:

*** “Make America GUILTY Again!” ***

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3451312/posts

Hillary Clinton must be so jealous of Donald Trump’s marketing brilliance with his hugely successful “Make America GREAT Again” campaign theme.

At the Republican Convention, Trump’s campaign theme brilliance was further embellished: Each day of the RNC schedule was focused on four cohesive sub-themes of “Make America Great Again.”

. Monday: Make America Safe Again
. Tuesday: Make America Work Again
. Wednesday: Make America First Again
. Thursday: Make America One Again

This shows a great ability to organize & strategize – traits that will make for good leadership later. And traits desperately lacking on the Left.

So, really, isn’t it time Hillary comes up with a catchy campaign theme that encapsulates her political philosophy? How about “Make America GUILTY Again!”

After all, her entire campaign can be distilled into the following GUILT themes.

. “Make Corporations GUILTY Again”
. “Make Males GUILTY again”
. “Make Heterosexuals GUILTY again”
. “Make White Males GUILTY again”
. “Make the US Military GUILTY again”
. “Make our Borders GUILTY Again”
. “Make our Police GUILTY again”
. “Make Liberty GUILTY again”
. “Make Capitalism GUILTY again.”
. “Make Successful People GUILTY again and again and again...”

The foregoing is the essence of the Clinton/Obama legacy. Notice how these thugs NEVER COMPLIMENT America for excelling. Never!

In reality, it is the “Greedy Liberals” who should be declared GUILTY for wanting to steal other people’s money for their various socioeconomic fascist agendas. After all, their programs require the implied use of government force on otherwise free individuals (e.g. if you do not pay your taxes to support their socioeconomic fascist agendas, someone will come with a gun to your house and take you to jail).

Compare Trump’s campaign theme to other recent democratic campaign slogans:

. The condescending “It’s the economy, Stupid!” theme concocted by the almost sub-human James Carville for Slick Willie Clinton’s campaign.

. The vacuous “Hope & Change” theme adopted by Obama managed to suck in throngs of gullible Obama Kool-Aid drinking sheeple into voting for his regime of socioeconomic facism.

. Hillary’s “Stronger Together” theme is bland and unpatriotic. It does nothing to celebrate the individual and is all about collectivism/socialism.

. And Hillary’s “I’m with her” theme is just laughable. What does that have to do with running the most powerful country in the world?

None of these campaign themes come close to matching Trump’s theme of optimism. This is the same recipe that won Ronald Reagan his re-election with his “Morning in America” theme.

The Republican National Convention was a celebration of optimism for America and a “can-do” attitude.

In contrast, the Democrat convention was a celebration of whining negativity and grievances from their loose aggregation of GREEDY special interest victim groups (socialists, anti-racist racists, and feminazis).

Ironically, it is the LEFT that is the GREEDY party because they want to use government to steal from productive members in society to fund their socioeconomic fascist agenda.

I’ve always thought her weight was around 200 but I thought she was approximately 5’6” or taller.

Hillary claims to be 5'6". I don't know her real height, but that's within an inch or so of the truth.

Every time she starts to do something odd, the camera will cut away to protect her.

They’ll ask Trump what the capitol of Angola is, and “why that country hasn’t joined the ICCt yet.”

They’ll ask Hillary if she
“likes chocolate ice cream.”
