5 things to watch at the presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
The Waskington Post ^ | 9/26/2016 | Robert Costa, Philip Rucker

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will meet Monday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., for their first presidential debate — the face-to-face culmination of months of fierce political battle. They will bring their own aims and political baggage, their own styles and quirks.

The clash between Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and Trump, the Republican nominee, represents the most dramatic showdown yet in an already raucous election season, as well as an opportunity for these universally known personalities to reintroduce themselves to voters that have deep reservations or remain undecided.

What color Polyester Lounge Lizard suit will Hillary wear ?


She will wear a Mao collared tarp, in a dark, serious color (covers even pee bag stains), made of a thick, wooly burlap material. It will look like what is in the back of a painter’s truck, but it will have been made by a gay designer and will have cost $16,000. Because nothing says “You can trust me with your money, America,” like the crap Hillary pays 100x too much for (including her ads).

Wouldn't it be awesome if her skin peeled back to reveal the reptile beneath?

yes, trump should just cut off lester decisively and talk over him every time lester tries to fact check.

trump needs to bring his alpha male to the debate, and show it.

trump needs to put beta male lester in his place.

if lester objects, trump just should say “lester, the people are tuned in to hear me and my views, not you and your views. now kindly bug off and let me finish speaking to the original question.”

the american voter has an attention span of one month. no one will remember candy crowley. calling lester candy will come across as cryptic at best (or overly anal-retentive at worst), which is not where trump needs to go to win millenial, minority, and female support.

crowley is ancient history. alpha males don’t dwell on ancient history.

Her eyes.
Her breathing.
Her balance.
Her tongue.
Her drinking.

“”Excuse me, Lester. Are you the democrat nominee for president? “

Too confrontational. Needs to be done in a very friendly manner. The goal is to openly mock Holt without showing any hostility.

Many years ago there was a movie called “The Longest Yard.” The ref was making calls on the guards behalf so the quarterback of the convicts kept throwing the ball at the refs nads. Eventually the ref got the gist of what was going on and started to call a clean game.

Same thing here. Be friendly with your attack and the fans will love you for it. Be confrontational and you come off like you have a bad temper, basically playing into Hillary’s narrative.

“She has been focusing on his psychological profile, with a goal to get Trump to crack, to show that he can’t control himself and lacks the even-handed temperament a president needs.”

So...everyone’s first wife is going to act like everyone’s DRUNK first wife at a family party, attacking and whining with her grating voice?

COOL!

Yeah, listen, we are all to focus on what WaPo tells us. Follow their hypnotic advice and it is win win for the rats, the left, and the Muslims. Why post this drivel?

Didn’t realize the debate is in Hempstead, NY. Well, at least if Hitlary collapses again, she won’t have far to go to Chelsea’s Hospital Ward or Bubba’s Chappaqua love nest.

Remember folks—its rigged. Trump will lose because its fixed. Its a Boatrace (To use horse racing lingo) But, Hillary may well wreck things with A) A stumble on stage, a faint or a coughing fit. B) a confused moment or answer that makes her sound weak minded and mixed up. C) A failure to handle Trumps interruptions or answer a question he brings up. D) or if she sounds lecturing or shrill like the English teacher you hated in high school. She is her own worst enemy. The debate isn’t for the pundits who have made up their minds—its for WE the People. We will make the choice of who won! The Matt Drudge poll will be more important than the NBC or FOXNEWS Polls over who won.

The media in this country hasn’t been able to find the TRUTH in over 40 years.

The current crop is no better.

The education which caused the ‘dumbing down of America’ is prevalent in every single corner of USA media.

I’m betting the media will try do to Trump what they did to Rick Lazio during his first Senatorial debate with Clinton. Lazio left his podium and approached her with a letter, basically a pledge that the two of them could sign to refuse soft money donations. He handed it to her, and she took it, but the media labeled Lazio a bully because he “invaded her area.” Whatever Trump says or does, I’m assuming the media will use the same ploy to make Hillary look like a victim once again.
