No matter how Trump does tonight, the story will be something 'controversial' he says

The lead is already written

I am not looking forward to tonight’s debate. (In fact, I’m going to the Tiger game. Trump can take care of Hillary while we take care of the Indians.) And one of the reasons I’m not looking forward to it is that it won’t really be a debate.

Presidential debates are not serious discussions of issues, problems, solutions and decisions presidents might have to make. They should be. But they’re not. At their best, they are glorified joint press conferences in which the entire discussion is driven by randomly selected questions chosen by a media moderator - often questions that have a great deal more to do with the horse race dynamics of the race than they have to do with the job of the presidency.

The MSM has already written their analysis: A racist, misogynist, jingoist Trump lost and offended half of all Americans.

Yes. They will report on a gnat of Trump’s and ignore the camel of the Ill One.

Not a deep insight.

A real job interview — for any position — ought to consist of questions like: “What kind of problems can you solve?” or “I have this situation ... blah, blah, blah ... how would you handle it?”

But, in fact, most job interviews consist of “What is your greatest weakness?” or “Where do you want to be in 5 years?” These are typical questions and they do NOT help select someone who can fill the real need of the hiring company.

The debates involve non-serious questions? Of course they do. It’s a job interview. Most such interviews are a joke.

“Randomly selected questions” - HA!
Questions to Hillary: softballs
Questions to Trump: GOTCHA!

the story will be something 'controversial' he says

Of course, that's been the media playbook from the start, and they are soooo predictable. The problem is what they judge as controversial and what they think will taint him is usually something that wins him support. They started this whole thing when he mentioned Mexicans and twisted his words but had to put in in the context of the wall - and everyone agreed with him except some Hillary supporters. So, he may say something "controversial" but it will resonate and people will embrace it because people have been hoping to hear it for years AND it proves he's an outsider in a race that favors the outsider. Bottom line - it just keeps coming up roses for Trump.

The fix has been in since day 1, but who cares what the media says they are ALL in the tank for her..all Trump has to do is act Presidential, show the folks that he can do the job..of course Hillary Clinton has more knowledge she has been a Politician her whole life, Trump has been doing this for 1 year..all Trump has to ask people tonight is one question “With all that knowledge Hillary Clinton has, what has that gotten all of you..absolutely NOTHING”

I predict they will use this word a lot:

Dark.

They love to call Trump dark.

The MSM is now being seen as the establishment, and my gut is Hillary is going be scripted and we are in a change election and will see her as scripted and establishment, she isn’t going to be sold as change no matter how hard the NY Times or Washington Post try.

Yes they have already pre-authored their phony op-ed on the debate before it has happened and declared Hillary as the counter of Trump who they will misrepresent with all the tired left-wing narratives, but the New York Times and Washington Post newspapers have become irrelevant in today’s society and their unread editorials cannot save her after this debate.

Trump will do great.

And the 1000000000000000000000000000th story with the same regurgitated lines gets posted today, and it’s not even 2pm!

And every post will be the same claptrap about moderators, fixes being in, biased press.

Blah blah blah!

I think the only option they have is to keep suggesting Trump is a liar and his foundation is crooked. The inference being Hillary is no worse than Trump.
‘SEE! they ALL lie and or bend the rules’

Agreed....All the media "brains" have it all written, ....

Hillary was warm and validated that she was experienced and knew everyone in the whole world by name.

Trump on the other hand was heartless in his immigration policy...and knew only business people....in Russia, Dubai....

The debates will change nothing.

The difference will really be....Everyone knows Hillary is a liar and very ill and that Bubba is a perv.

Hillary always looks like she’s high. Sometimes, very high. Probably on multiple drugs. The juxtaposition with a relatively normal human really highlights just how screwed-up Hillary looks.
