Clinton's Last-Minute Debate Prep Includes an 'Affable Trump'
NBC News ^ | 8/26/16 | Andrea Mitchell

Posted on 09/26/2016 9:20:36 AM PDT by LittleSpotBlog

Hillary Clinton is doing more debate prep at a hotel near her Westchester home today, including mock rehearsals featuring an "affable Trump," NBC News reports.

The planning has evolved away from a focus solely on a more caustic rival, according to reporting from NBC's Kelly O'Donnell. Sources say, "We are betting now that most of our preparations are into dealing with the possible curve-ball that Trump comes out being more subdued."

President Obama telling a Manhattan fundraiser that Hillary Rodham Clinton will “carry on” his initiatives, said America hasn't had a female president because the country is skittish about “powerful women.”

However, speaking to the liberal donors, he said he is confident that the country is ready to get over its hangup.

“There's a reason why we haven't had a woman president,” he said, according to a press poll report on the event. “We as a society still grapple with what it means to see powerful women.

Powerful ‘women’ need special accommodations? Imagery is all the progressives have, because they sure cannot point to any successes.

If she has to stand up for 90 minutes, unaided, she will wear flats for sure. One of the main reasons she needed the custom podium.

Bet what is left of her health will go into a free-fall brought on by depression and anger. Mentally, she will bitterly blame her campaign staff, voters, anything or anyone but herself.

Hillary is a damn smart woman. She cannot "overprepare." She wiped the floor with Gowdy & Co. ALL DAY LONG at the Benghazi hearings. Don't underestimate her. The only thing that will derail her tonight is a coughing fit or "overheating" episode. Barring those, I fully expect her to tie or win tonight, trapping Trump once or twice in gaffes. It won't be a big win, but the MEDIA will portray it as her "comeback" and celebrate it to the masses.

Pray. This is a very perilous time for our nation and people.

Staging. The box is labeled with it’s contents which have yet to be installed. They have placed the crate of electronics close to where it will be installed. The coloring can be used to quickly identify equipment that has not been dealt with yet and must be cleared before they release the job to event staff. Additionally, it can make it easy to identify equipment as belonging to the facilities or a specific vendor. We used these methods at trade show setups, often at the request of the union staff in charge of the facilities.

The lecterns are not in their final positions in that shot as the workers are prepping the area in which they will be placed.

This story is important for three reasons.

(1) It shows how much Trump is in the head of the Clinton campaign. Will Trump do Z or will he do Y and what should Hillary do? You see the problem is Hillary has no soul, not integrity and so she doesn't know what to do. Hillary relies upon focus groups to determine what she should do. So if she hasn't tried a Trump does X and know that if Hillary does Y she gets a focus group rating of 79%, but if she does Z, then her focus group rating drops to 50%. That is why she must do so much prep.

(2) The Hillary supporters have invested really big money and expect her to do well. They are putting pressure on the Campaign that looks like it is tanking. Her campaign are showing the supporters that she is “working hard” and preparing.

(3) Hillary and her campaign are desperate. Why do you think they have build a grand podium, why do you think they are asking the moderator to “fact check Trump.” They have doubts that Hillary is up to the job of debating a reality TV star on TV. They have seen how Trump does the unthinkable on TV and gets people to love him for it. They know they can't do that and are absolutely scared.

Hillary hates the fact she even needs to do these debates....especially with the American people which she has zero regard for..... Couple that with her over the top entitlement mindset we saw on full display recently, she is already at a disadvantage 'she' has put herself in psychologically.

Further pointing her fingers blaming her own supporters for not making that happen....

Re Ted Cruz - one can’t be a genuinely great debater if your voice is that of an unctuous coffin salesman.

Hillary does not understand why so many Americans have the audacity to disagree with her.....she truly believes she should be way ahead of Trump and that this should not be an election, but a coronation. Hillary can't see that it is her unpopular positions and repulsive mindset that turns people away from her....rather that it is the peoples stupidity and "delorable" low life status that they can't see she deserves a coronation......
