5 things to watch at the presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
The Waskington Post ^ | 9/26/2016 | Robert Costa, Philip Rucker

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will meet Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., for their first presidential debate — the face-to-face culmination of months of fierce political battle. They will bring their own aims and political baggage, their own styles and quirks.

The clash between Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and Trump, the Republican nominee, represents the most dramatic showdown yet in an already raucous election season, as well as an opportunity for these universally known personalities to reintroduce themselves to voters that have deep reservations or remain undecided.

According to this article its: Trump's attacks, Trump's Temperament, Clinton's vulnerabilities (corrupt Hillary, EmailGate, not genuine), Ideology (both have left a of things open - can the clearly state thier positions), and the moderator (Is he going to fact check, show preference to once candidate, or try to control the candidate response.)

The minute Lester Holt jumps into the fray, Trump should answer with, “Thanks Candy.” Just keep calling Lester “Candy” and people will start to wonder what is it with Trump calling Lester “Candy?”

If Holt starts to question Trump’s policy statements prior to him becoming a candidate, Trump should answer with, “Candy, I evolved my position since then. A good President understands the wisdom of his cabinet and modifies positions to benefit the country. There is no ego involved. How has Hillary’s positions evolved with things like Benghazi?”

Then shut up and let the silence take hold. Trump could very well turn this debate into a referendum on Clinton’s positions without having to really try hard. He just needs to apply Alinsky’s tactics and in the process neutralize the moderator.

Just watch the left eye peg hard right 20-30 times per minute. It's as fast as a blink so you have to focus.

I’ll be watching for Lester Holt taking Hillary’s side.
Her seizing up physically.
Mental seizures.

1. midget standing behind hillary to prop her up and straighten her out if she collapses.
2. water fountain installed in her podium
3. box of cough drops on her podium
4. ear bud for the prompts
5. layers of makeup to hide the wrinkles and the anger
6. smiling in a vain attempt to appear as if she were born on planet Earth

I think Trump should just cut him off by saying, "Excuse me, Lester. Are you the democrat nominee for president? If so you're at the wrong podium, if not, then ask your question, shut your mouth and let me and Mrs. Clinton debate."

Herself is going to be casting down red meat before The Donald again and again, in an attempt to throw him off his game. Remember, each of those pieces will be marinated in the hottest of cayenne pepper, and any attempt to pick one up is going to result in a most unwelcome surprise for The Donald.

When one of what seems to be low-hanging “treats” appears before you, Mr. Trump, DON’T TAKE THE BAIT!!! Stay calm, stay on message, and keep your eye on the prize.

This is not Jeb Bush, this is the rival that was supposed to DEMOLISH Jeb Bush. Herself comes prepared to fight a conventional battle, with a bare minimum of energy expended on any new or different criteria, but a brass-knuckles, smash-mouth, groin-kicking defense on all the “accepted” points of view on both domestic and foreign policy.

Wonk or visionary? Don’t play your opponent’s game, get them to play yours.

Trump, the Republican nominee .............................. I don’t see him as that, I see him as the “People’s” nominee. I had to change parties to get him on the ballot. The “e”s suck, just more of the same ole same ole that causes them to lose. We need a “strong” leader not another quibbling failed lawyer. America has to wake up, if it doesn’t were doomed. Its time for the smarting up of our country, we don’t need any more of the dumbing down.

Fellow Freepers, please don’t play the drinking game for any head bobbles, wandering eye, head shakes, balloon swoons, knee buckles, or barks. Your livers will thank you.

Trump needs to get a replica of Hillary’s ReSet Button and have it out in view; at some point in the debate draw attention to it and tell Hillary that Russia returned it with their compliments, or just take it over and put it on her podium; it makes for great theater and optics while driving home the point of a failed 8-years of diplomacy by the Obama Admin.

1. Her left eye
2. Her left hand
3. Her bulging pant leg as the 90 mins go on and her catheter bag fills
4. Her lovely soft voice slowly turning to a shrill mother in law yell
And the one we’ve all been waiting for,
5. Her speaking in perfect clauses, waiting a second as if to gather her thoughts, then finishing a perfectly written sentence after the pause. BECAUSE EARPIECE
