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.

What a surprise. The left swinging, establishment, fiction writing editorial board of the Washington Compost endorses the left swinging, establishment, fiction writing candidate for President.
Someone on another thread said it aptly. Every 4 years they break out the template and replace X(D) with the candidates name.
The LATimes yesterday said Trump is the biggest liar that ever ran for office.
NO ONE MENTIONS THE CLINTON FOUNDATION, HER ILLNESS, HER MURDERS WHICH CONTINUE TODAY. But no, Trump sometimes exaggerates so HE is a huge problem.
They are in essence conceding the debates already. Just wow.
keyboard spew alert
Wow, you guys are on a mind meld.
What else would you expect from the Washington Post?
WaPo: It’s beyond debate that Donald Trump is unfit to be president
Yes, what if he might
- appoint a “conservative” to the SC who stabs the U.S.A. in the back over and over again
- weaponize the IRS via his speeches to go after his “enemies”
- just completely rewrite Obamacare to eliminate penalties &c
- simply ignore immigration law, or any law he doesn’t like
- lie to us constantly about how he “just read about it in the paper”
- see rampant corruption at the V.A., huffs and puffs that it’s not acceptable, and then never do anything about it
- money-launder a billion dollars to the world’s most dangerous country and then lie about that too
- announce that he will destroy a long-established industry (not coal — too late)
- constantly insert himself into local police matters, thereby inflaming race tensions
- go along with a scheme to operate without a budget for his entire Presidency
etc...
When Hillary physically collapsed on 9/11 we discovered what a pack of liars the Washington Post employs.
The buffoons at this propaganda rag are believing their own propaganda!
Its beyond debate that the press is partisan. And they are making money off ads for elections. And the Washington Post with their billionaire owners is just a tool for the billionaire to sway public opinion.
If you’re for democracy; if you are against elections swayed by billionaires and liberal press, then vote Trump.
They are endorsing a person the majority of people in the country know is dishonest, who the FBI should have recommended for indictment, and they act like they are taking the ‘high road’. Just amazing, sad, and pathetic.
It is disturbing to see this extreme display of blatant liberal bias. These lunatics are what passes as mainstream now.
They tried to take down Trump and failed.
Sucks to be them. The powerful MSM Wizard is nothing of the kind.
People are seeing past their biased reporting, faked polls and arrogant blustering to reach their verdict.
They’re hated far more than people hate Hillary.
It is beyond debate that the Washington Compost is only fit as bird cage lining and to paper train puppies.
Yesterday they had a big electoral map by states for each candidate and proclaim that Hitlery has a 254 to 138 solid votes. I said to my wife, this cannot be more than fiction. So, I looked at what it was based upon: a race between the two candidates!
Next up I looked at the in play states and find: Ohio, Florida, Texas, North Carolina and a few others. I said I thought I saw polls recently that had these not in play and in fact Hitlery having pulled out of some of those races.
My wife pointedly noted, it is not meant to be accurate, it is to pull votes in for Hitlery because everyone wishes to vote for the winner.
I hope trump does not blow it at the debates because I believe he has it in the bag now as he has the momentum and he is fighting a disliked candidate who could do a face flop in public at any time.
Hillary is DEFINITELY a criminal felon. Say what you will about Trump, but he is not a criminal.
It is beyond debate the Washington Post is run by idiots and fools.

“Climate change is also beyond debate. I wonder if the WP would like to prosecute anyone who supports Trump?”
My guess is yes. Lock up all the deplorable. We can’t have such people around our castles.
Trump is physically and emotionally fit to raise a wonderful family, pursue the American Dream successfully, create jobs for all sectors of the American worker. As an American citizen, he is fit to run for the office of President.
Hillary is not!!!!
