The Debate Schedule Helps Trump
American Thinker ^ | September 30, 2016 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 09/30/2016 2:42:08 PM PDT by Kaslin

Who won the first debate on September 26? Perhaps a better question might be which candidate performed worse. Trump had several opportunities to score better in the debate than he did, and Hillary was her usual plastic phony self, but she avoided any real mistakes. Give her a modest edge in this first presidential debate, but give Republicans a clear edge to do better and better in the next three.

Mike Pence is smart, pleasant, likeable, and experienced. There is every reason to believe he will do better against Tim Kaine than Trump did against Hillary. In fact, Pence will probably do better than Kaine on form because Pence was a successful conservative media personality on radio and television, and this experience shows in how he handles the media.

All the VP debate will probably be about Trump

I think it will all be about abortion and gay marriage.

My feeling on the first debate is that what you saw is the best Hillary is ever going to get in a debate and it didn’t amount to much. She was completely rehearsed, advised, pampered and had a specially ordered lib moderator, and most likely had an earpiece and crib notes. Trump now knows his enemy. It would have been foolish for him to go in guns blazing because then no doubt the Hillary propaganda media would have twisted it and said he is an out of control maniac abusive to women.

NOW it’s a different story though, now people WANT him to go in guns blazing. I predict next debate he’s going to bring up everything, even if the lib moderators keep asking him questions about his past I can just see him saying “Excuse me, but we discussed enough about my past last debate. Let’s talk about the Clinton foundation, shall we?”

Hillary was her usual pedantic one liner.

She was at her best.

If Trump had smoked her in the 1st two debates there would be nothing to look forward to and Hillary would be thought the winner, “If only she could improve her performance”.

Trump can only improve from here and wax the floor with her.

Your right on target, at least about the abortion issue. Pence is totally against abortion and feels strongly that life begins at conception so sure they will try to nail him on that.

Hope he brings up the number of just Black babies that have been murdered in the last ten years alone. Certainly the MSM doesn’t ever talk about this number - just like they don’t dwell much on the black-on-black crime rate.

I think Pense has more leeway to land a few haymakers on Kaine. His style will allow him to attack without coming off as overboard.

I think Pense should refuse to shake his hand at the start and then explain to America that he will not shake the hand of someone who would back Saudi Arabia over our own citizens. Call him shameful..call him a disgrace for him skipping out on the vote for 9/11 families.

And then document how Kaine cators to radical muslims, Punch the little bastard in the face!

PENCE - Watch those wonkers like a hawk. They’re not above
spiking your water, or tampering with your glassware, or
serving you a bad hors’doeuvres (as in REAL HORSE DOOVER on
a cracker).

I AM SERIOUS. You see what they did with TRUMP’S microphone.

I truly believe Clinton has spent all of her powder. She has nothing new to bring to the table.

Trump resisted from lighting her up on the 1st debate but that won't be the case in future debates.

I'm predicting, she will be a no-show for one of the future debates.

Wish Vegas would take odds on that.

Pence may do better in the sense of not shooting himself in the foot like Trump but to really score any points the moderator needs to actually ask actual relevant questions, i.e. Iran, Supreme Court- 2nd Amendment, economy, ISIS, coal killing regs etc., which is unlikely.

Instead it'll be women make 79 cents per dollar what men make - what should we do about it, everything's racist, income inequality, minimum wage, free college for everyone, and who knows what other garbage questions.
