I'll believe people are serious about media bias when I start hearing calls for the government to slam a hammer down on top of these organizations for manipulating elections.
No calls for a smashing hammer, then people aren't yet serious about the problem.
She will win the debates even if the DNC has to Weekend at Bernies it
It will be great to see Trump up there as she coughs.
Part of that “profitable” “All scripture” reveals in the book of Daniel that God picks who He wants to be the top ruler of a country including sometimes the “basest” choice. The next president of the United States will be who God Wants to be President and His choice, as other Scripture shows, won’t necessarily be to benefit America.
The guy with the Diazepan pen will be nearby whispering “just keep talking” in her ear. BTW, has anyone yet identified this guy? I’m surprised Drudge or Breitbart doesn’t have the book on him already.
Doesn’t matter...
Yes, the media will attempt to hand her the debates... they will do all their cheesy tricks, bad lighting, bad camera angles, loaded questions... and then regardless of what actually happens... the post debate spin will be she won.
However, it WON’T MATTER....
Why? Because anyone who is going to vote for Clinton, has already decided to do so... no one is watching to see if Hillary can offer a 15 minute wonk heavy diatribe about the status of wheat subsidies and exports to sub Saharan Africa. She can WONK through every question, she can hit every softball.. it won’t matter.
People are watching to see Trump... yes those already committed to Hillary will be watching her, but those that truly are using the debates to make a decision are tuning in for Trump and Trump alone... and they aren’t watching to see if Trump can name the Undersecretary of Foreign Relations, 2nd office Attache of the Nation of Zibabwe from memory... They are watching to see if Trump is dangerous as the press and Hillary claim, or if he’s reasonable.
All Trump needs to do is what he has been doing, come off as reasonable, and yes, in spite of all the attempts to paint him otherwise, unfiltered and unspun he comes off as a reasonable person. Hammer the fact that the system is dishonest, corrupt and HIllary is part of it and can’t fix it. Stay on point of Economy, jobs, illegals and national security.
Let Hillary do her silly heart string nonsense and anecdotes about the illegal alien family just trying to live there life... and then counter it with the names and lives of americans you have met whos sons and daughters, wives and husbands have been killed, mamed or raped by illegals.... Let her do her bleeding heart we can’t keep muslims out.. then counter with every Muslim refugee who has killed or harmed an American, and simply point out until we have faith we can vet them properly, which our own FBI and National Security folks admit we cannot, we should not be letting them in. Let her do her liberal crap, and then just counter with the facts...
Trump doesn’t need to be wonk, he simply needs to come across as reasonable... and if he does, he wins.
Call out the gotcha questions, don’t take em... I expect him to do it. Call them out on their misrepresentations.. I fully expect him to do... When they accuse you of being a racist, point out the Democratic party and liberal social programs have destroyed the inner cities and harmed black americans... Ask them how am I racist? I want all americans to succeed, I don’t want black children trapped in failing schools, black families terrorized by gang members, black children afraid to go outside and play for fear of being shot in places like Chicago, Milwaukee and Philadelphia... How is that racist? And then end by simply asking to the camera directly, if you are black in America today, do you feel things have gotten better for the black community in the last 8 years? Heck, the last 40 years? If the honest answer to yourself is NO, or not as much as I feel they should, then all I ask is give me a chance and try something different.. if you know in your heart what has been going on isn’t working, all I ask is for you to give me a chance.
Just don’t take their crap, but respond cooly, and calmly, and put it right back in their faces..
Come off reasonable, and Trump wins.. and wins big... those who know they won’t vote for Hillary, but are sitting on the fence not sure about Trump just need to see him and be convinced he’s not dangerous... He does that, he wins, period.
Hillary can wonk her way through every question, doesn’t matter... unless Trump comes off looking unreasonable... he wins, no matter what else happens.
Add this to the fact, that You will have an Alpha male standing up there, vs a woman who has been the lap dog of the biggest beta male ever and is soft on national security and terrorism... I see no way, no matter what happens Hillary will win in terms of the public, regardless of what the media spin is.
The theory of why she isn’t campaigning hard will have to get in line. Ahead of it would be the obvious...few attend her rallies anyway. She has negative charisma and exposure hurts her, and she is getting sicker and needs rest and does not want to reveal how sick.
“Ain’t gonna be any debates. She will come up with some excuse to weasel out, and the media will give her a pass.”
Not only will she weasel out, the media will blame Trump for it.
I’m sure the government will totally tell media outlets what they can and cannot report on.
Because the constitution totally allows that...
Yup. “I will not dignify the horrible thing he said the other day with my presence” or somesuch.
Trump is no Romney, McCain or Bush. Plays by his own rules and calls out media bias. Which will be rampant at the debate. He’ll eat ‘em alive.
Have to agree. Can’t see any upside for She Who Shall Not Be Named participating in a debate. However, there appears to be considerable downside.
The only question is what will be the excuse for declining to participate in the debates? Ideas anyone?
That didn’t work in the primary debates.
That didn’t work in the primary debates.
The media wasn’t as interested in saying John Kasich or Jeb Bush won.
Oh, I think FreeRepublic is up to the task.
Clinton, her handlers and their media lickspittles, much less so.
I think the MSM has two choices at this point. Depending on whether hillary makes it through this debate without a serious coughing spell. Even then she may survive to round two.
Otherwise, they have to double down.
No matter how bad she does they will have to say she did okay.
And given the expectation that she may hack up a lung in comparison if she make it through the softies will want to give her a break.
Or, they will have to go with someone else. Which is highly unlikely.
Short of keeling over hillary, of course, will get a pass.
Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren would be a blessing for Trump.
She is so fanatically an antibusiness radical (wealthy hypocrite, too) that Trump would play her like a cheap fiddle; mocking her with Marxist jargon until she began belting out the “Internationale”. Warren hates Trump as the wealthy capitalist pig class enemy & is not subtle about it.
So...bring on Princess Crockajawea!
