-- I'm worried our thread is going to fall off the side bar before the debate. --

It's not unusual for there to be "favoritism" in sidebaring, and I think your rally thread posting history gives you an upper hand there. No need to be "at the top" until a couple hours before the debate, unless the proprietor here feels differently

Hillary’s Campaign to Lower Drug Costs Is a Downer No

I don’t watch the view, but that doesn’t surprise me about JL Curtis. I kinda soured on her after all those Activa yogurt commercials - got really tired of them. Haven’t seen them in a while, so I’m assuming they ran their course.

[MayflowerMadam]

“I decided I’m not going to watch the debate tomorrow.”

I’m leaning in that direction, too. I may start, but the first time I start feeling that I’m watching a Stephen King movie I’ll walk away and be online 100%.

[MayflowerMadam]

And Holt allegedly is a registered Republican. We’ll see if he behaves himself and does the right thing. Or, peer pressure can have too much influence on him.

[kanawa]

WooHoo... Canada 81% Trump

[Seattle Conservative]

He may be a registered Republican - someone should ask him who he voted for in the last 2 elections, my guess is that he probably voted for Obummer.

[Cboldt]

-- Or, peer pressure can have too much influence on him. --

Peer pressure is a powerful force, less so to the extent the personality is indifferent about his peers. I speculate that Holt cares about being ostracized by his peers, a lot.

I was surprized by Lauer - thought he applied even pressure to both people under his microscope. I don't expect Holt to be even. Trump doesn't expect Holt to be even. But my gut tells me that at the end of the debate, Holt will not be story.

[lysie]

Good morning nikos and all.

[TornadoAlley3]

Thank you! Trying to enjoy those OSU Cowboys, but rough start. High anxiety over election. I doubt debate matters to voters. Will we GOTV?

[JudyinCanada]

Canada 81% Trump is stunning. It’s nothing but Trump bashing all the time on our media....naturally, this is reflected in the sheople.

[JudyinCanada]

Is Holt a republican like Geraldo?

With republicans like that, who needs democrats?

[Lakeside Granny]

Oh thank you so much, Lysie.

This is my kind of breakfast.

[JudyinCanada]

Just listening to the tv in the background and they’re really pushing this Trump/liar theme! Hitlery, of all people! I guess she thinks if she pushes the liar theme first then he looks as if he’s just calling her a liar back, and therefore childish.

I think the solution would be to tell Hitlery every time she thinks Trump is lying she has the right to bark like a dog to alert everyone. Her idea.

[STARLIT]

I think being up higher will most certainly backfire on her. Being up higher will unbalance her and really let her see more of the lights and people. When she was down low the podium was able to reflect more of the lights and she was much closer to her water glasses. Now when the cameras try to hide the fact she is taking in lots of water every time after she speaks. It will be noticeable to not only us watching but all the ones watching there. She will be more on display than she wants to be and we'll be able to see more of her.

Just my thoughts.

[Lakeside Granny]

Yes, they are Judy.

I think this is a dangerous game for Hitlery and may very well backfire.

I think Trump should laugh her off the stage.

[JudyinCanada]

I hope Trump has seen the clip of Crist speaking in Florida. He could say that the mention of Hitlery being honest actually drew laughter from a Clinton-friendly audience!

[Covenantor]

Hillary is going for a shock and awe surprise to garner the youth vote.

Add the headset and mike and she'll bring down the house.-

Damn the torpedoes....!

[STARLIT]

I received a private mail from Mr. Apple and he has a good suggestion for Mr. Trump and suggested we tweet Donald his idea. I informed him that several have gotten on twitter and perhaps you-all could tweet his idea. He pointed out that lots of women watch the Lifetime Channel and also the Ip Investigation channel. Hillary's ads are on both quite often and many woman watch both those channels. Mr. Apple wants Donald and his staff to be aware of this and perhaps they can also gear their ads to these many women.
