If I Were Donald Trump, my opening statement in the debate would be...

"Tonight’s debate is not a debate and you all know it. By “you,” I mean, those watching this, both political parties, the media, and of course me and my team.

Rather, this is to be an exercise in trashing me and my candidacy. The questions will be designed to prove to you that I am not worthy to be your president. Both the moderator and my opponent have no doubt spent weeks trying to think up questions to trip me up like Gary Johnson was recently tripped up by a question about Aleppo and other ways they can assassinate my character and impugn my intentions.

Moreover, virtually the whole world watching knows the truly unworthy candidate in this race is my opponent. She has been front and center in scandals her entire political life: Whitewater, cattle futures, bimbo eruptions, Travelgate, Rose law firm billing records, Benghazi, private home brew servers and classified emails, pay to play and the Clinton Foundation, etc. Most recently, we found out five of her aids have been granted immunity. I do not need to tell you: non-criminals do not need immunity.

So, this is not a debate and is not intended to be fair and accordingly, I refuse to play along. Here’s what I plan to do. I am telling you the audience and both the moderator and my opponent; this debate is 90 minutes long and I should have about half of that to speak to you about what I plan to do if you elect me your president. No matter what I am asked or what my opponent says, I am going to pretty much ignore them and simply use my time to lay out my vision for America. I thank you for taking some of your valuable time tonight to listen to my message."

"If I am elected President my first order of business is to see that crooked Hillary with her long list of crimes against America is brought to trial and convicted of her crimes."

"Thank you."

He would sound like the biggest crybaby in the world and if you ever make a movie, it’s great. In real life, it’s awful.

100 million people are watching a debate, not some offer that NO ONE is going to go for.

You said in a thousand words what Reagan would have Trump say in four: “There they(you) go again”

That’s good, but I would not do it.

I think the whole election is “are you better off than you were eight years ago? Is your country better off than she was eight years ago?”

I would repeat that over and over, wrap Obama around Hillary’s neck, don’t stop until November 8, and forget the rest.

Absolute wrong approach. He’d be playing right into their hands. Never get into a pi$$ing contest with a skunk. Trump just needs to play along, and as each question comes up, answer very briefly and then segue into a statement covering your points, several in each answer.

You're right...but it wouldn't be wise for him to do it.He needs to sound...and look...Presidential.Not like a victim.Hillary's got the victim thing all wrapped up and you can't have *two* victims in a two man race.

Cool...calm....clear....concise...dignified.That should be his goal.If he does that her victim thing will fall flat.

I don’t agree with most of the words you think Trump should say.

Point: most people would do better more often to speak the important words and not every feeling or thought to come into their head about a matter.

Trump has previously stated many media etc are against him.

Monday he needs to show up and choose his words wisely and “look” presidential, not complain about debate being unfair.

Trump has to do what Reagan did..his most classic remark from the debate against Carter was when he said “I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent’s youth and inexperience” that won Reagan the Presidency..that one quote, people saw Reagan not what the media described him as(Because the media trashed Reagan like they trash Trump and ANY Republican) but instead it showed Reagan to be a humble man who had a good head on his shoulders

Trump needs to use his critical thinking skills, formerly utilized in creating and re-engineering buildings and complex projects, to tell America that the America which went from
axes and hoes to high technology;
log cabins to air-conditioned condos;
horsedrawn wagons to autos, planes, and rockets;
scarcity to abundance; &
from tyrannical government rule  to individual liberty

can, with dedication and thoughtful effort undertaken by all of us, be reverse engineered, thereby making it the place of freedom, opportunity, and creativity it was intended to be under the remarkable written Constitution left for us by the Founders and Framers of that Constitution.

Normally I would not expect that to ever happen...but I could see Trump doing that. Not expecting him to do it...but its not so far fetched as it would be for most.

And you know darn well that the organizers of this circus have given the Clinton campaign the questions ahead of time.
