Regardless of the debate format you won’t see a passive Donald Trump on Sunday. He’ll carpet bomb Hillary. Each question he gets will be a short response to it and then a turnaround attack on Hillary. I’m sure we’ll get our share of bed wetting Freepers who will complain he appeared too tough on Hillary. I don’t care. The gloves need to come off and I think you’re gonna see Hillary knocked off her stride on Sunday.
I see no evidence of any of that. I just heard an audio clip of Trump from last night where he dismissed doing any debate prep. He is a master of the campaign stop - thousands packed inside (and often outside) the venue waiting for him to speak. He needs to realize that the debates are like a campaign stop but with tens of millions showing up to watch and listen, not thousands. I am prepared to be disappointed. Image matters, content matters, practice matters. Trump can't just show up and wing it and do well. This is not a campaign stop where there is no opposition. I just get the feel that Trump does not take the debates seriously. The election is essentially tied at this point. Add the at least 5% Democrat voter/ballot box/ electoral college fraud that will happen and it's game over.
