DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON and Republican Donald Trump will debate on national television for the first time Monday night, and the stakes could not be higher. The presidency and, by extension, the country's future - maybe the world's - could hinge on what they say and how they say it.
Or so we have been told - in breathless pre-event speculation about everything from whether the moderator, NBC's Lester Holt, will intervene to correct a candidate who strays from the truth, to whether one candidate or the other will be able to goad his or her opponent into a campaign-altering gaffe before an audience expected to reach 100 million.
Permit us to dissent from this conventional wisdom, vigorously. Yes, Monday night's clash, and two additional debates to follow, will add drama to the election, and a bit more data to the massive pile of it already available to voters. In a fundamental sense, however, there is nothing much at stake, or shouldn't be, because there is not much more to learn: Mr. Trump has amply demonstrated his unworthiness to occupy the Oval Office. It's beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion.

Yes, it doesn’t matter if Trump mops the floor with Hillary....that’s not important. I guess the bigger and taller podium isn’t enough....they have to get out in front of the debate with propaganda, as well.
At least his closest adviser isn’t associated with 9/11 financiers.
WaPo pieces= WaPo feces!
It is beyond debate that we should allow elections to put forth the peoples choice
It does sound like they mean to threaten voters who do not agree with the science and “consensus”. Bunch of Nazi scumbags
Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. That’s all you need to know about this story.
It is disturbing to see this extreme display of blatant liberal bias. These lunatics are what passes as mainstream now.
Yeah, she is outspending Trump 53 to 1 and is still losing. Big money can’t do everything.
And all the commie tainted progressive scumbags are unfit to hold ANY office of Trust. Including corporate officers, officers of the court, teachers and so many others.
Boy they are so mature and adult li,e when they contro. The narrative, but we now get to see their real stalin like character when it ain’t going their way. This is so fun.
Where’s the plot of Compost ad revenue?
The Cheap Labor Express is not going to allow the citizens to reverse 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.
In previous elections they have been able to nominate an amnesty candidate for the GOP so voters had no choice.
This time they got Trumped and they are quite unhappy about it.
“Mr. Trump has amply demonstrated his unworthiness to occupy the Oval Office.”
The arrogance is sickening.
Goose stepping group think mind guards on parade.
One Armageddon at a time. I’m still mourning that England has been completely wiped off the planet because of that Brexit vote.
Reports are that Trump has bought advertising in a major way. Hillary may fall behind in the dust soon.
Barrack Dogs...
It’s beyond debate. Leftist news rags in the USA are making the old USSR’s Pravda look like a “fair and balanced” news source.
The American people are not going to allow the Washington Post to decide for them who should be President.
Trump is going to win and all the hollering by the Washington Post editorial board to the contrary will make no difference.
If the MSM had it its way, there would be no election.
Thank God we live in a country where we can vote as we wish.
...and if the American voters elect Trump as their President, we elites will just declare him unfit and void the election.
Left unsaid by the Commies.
The NYT and WaPo should be excluded from the White House press corpse(man).
They’ve demonstrated complete bias.
Trump should invite Breitbart and Drudge to join in their place.
Then we need a 5% across the board cut to ax all the Obama recent hires absent hearing to show special circumstances for retention.
