Questions;

“If you were a twee...”

“If you were separated from reality, how would you act?” This one is a question of opportunity, to be used only when Hillary is in trouble.

Hillary's response:

"America's Direction" - Obama has put us on the right track and I intend to continue his leadership

"Achieving Prosperity" - Hey, you want prosperity start your own foundation. Mine is ndoing just fine thank you.

"Securing America" - We are more secure today than when Obama took office.

Do your part and VOTE TRUMP!!!

Did you hear?? No ear pieces allowed for the moderators. That is because they don’t want interference with Hillary’s ear piece or for the moderator to accidentally overhear the answers being fed to Hillary.

No....Trump does much better seated. And Hillary is uncomfortable seated. I think the old girl has hemorrhoids.

She kept popping off the stool at Lauer's lovefest.

One of the recent email leaks had one from a Hillary operative to a TV "newsperson" which implied that the campaign sent questions to the so-called newsperson. I thought it would get a lot of traction, but it didn't seem to get any. I always thought that the MSM gave the questions to Dems ahead of time, but this was the first that I saw that the Dems could send their own preferred questions to the newsperson.

I hope that Trump has a prepared response for "Securing America".

Hillary will advocate "more of the same", and claim that any escalation against Islamic radicals will "encourage them". But under Hillary's watch and "outreach", Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Syria have all turned into hell-holes.

Trump should hang that albatross around her neck, and articulate his vision: No more nation-building, and block immigration and visas from these regions.

Tell the Muslim community: this is your problem. Fix it and pacify the region yourself. Once you do that, we'll reconsider.

Great topics! Trump can do well, but he does need to prepare. The trick is to reassure the undecided voters, motivate patriotic conservatives, and avoid angering Hillary’s passive minions enough to make them want to vote for her.

YOU BET your ass he has!

Hillary has head trouble: head in the clouds, head in the sand, or head up her a&&.

But under Hillary's watch and "outreach", Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and Syria have all turned into hell-holes.
They already were. I've SEEN and smelled Egypt (twice) and Syria already. The Arabs have been fighting each other ever since there were Arabs.
Nothing new here.

Yep.

Tell the Muslim community: this is your problem. Fix it and pacify the region yourself. Once you do that, we'll reconsider.
Yep.

Holt:

So when did you stop beating your wives Mr. Trump”

Mrs. Clinton, how cute are your grandchildren?

Mr. Trump, did you join the KKK in school or later?

Mrs. Clinton, are you enjoying that big comfortable chair we provided you?

Trump should insist on standing and should give Hillary the option to sit or stand. She’d be screwed either way.
