How Trump Wins the Debates - (Hillary's optics problem ..lol)
The American Thinker ^ | September 24, 2016 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 09/24/2016 9:47:07 AM PDT by onyx

~snips~



Americans will be watching the presidential debates closely – not for policies or ideas, but for images and demeanor. This creates a clear opening for Donald Trump. Hillary has hidden behind flacks and party hacks and pandering and controlled media. Trump has behaved exactly the opposite way, speaking for himself, attacking party machines, and acting often unscripted.



If Hillary was elected, she would be the fattest president since William Howard Taft, the shortest president since James Madison, and the second oldest president in American history. These very visible factors will quietly blend into the evaluation voters will make of her, whatever she says during the debates, especially as voters also try to figure out if she is really healthy or if she is lying about that, as she lies about almost everything.

Trump, in contrast, exudes energy and health, and while he is even older than Hillary and while he is chubby, too, the way he carries himself bespeaks a different sort of person from Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton.

She likely will not collapse, but a coughing fit or eyeball fit is very likely. She has to be sweating bullets over this, there is a LOT of pressure on her now and she has been avoiding pressure like the plague for months.

Stupid PC rot.

I’m hoping not, folks, but there is that outside possibility that the witch does just fine during the debate. Lord knows the media and her handlers are trying to cover all the bases!

I am remaining cautiously optimistic that she goes bat-shit crazy though!

It's going to be tough. You can bet Hillary already has a copy of the questions along with the script the moderator will follow to try to nail Trump with.

The audience will be stacked with Hillary fans who will boo Trump and cheer for Hillary. The moderator will work for Hillary in any way he can.

The MSM will "fact check" everything and claim Hillary was truthful and Trump lied about everything.

The MSM will declare Hillary the clear winner... they're already working on those stories and will fill in the blanks later and get them on the wire ASAP after the debate ends.

The color temp of the stage lighting will be set to make Trump look more orange (easy to do with lighting).

Remember, a podium is something you stand on,
a lectern is something you lean against and it
holds your notes and maybe a glass of water.

Thanks very much. Like you, I appreciate Bruce Walker’s writing, too. I always gain insight from his columns.

Mr. GG2’s daughter, a Bernie lover told us she is not going to vote in Nov. This backs up my theory that the millennials who could not wait to vote for Ofail will not turn out for Sickery. Trump is going to likely win big.

If “I HAD TO PUT MONEY ON IT” I would venture to guess that she already has the questions.

She is likely consulting with her wardrobe peeps to figure out how lightweight a pantsuit she can wear - so she doesn’t overheat - and still be able to conceal the catheter tube running down her leg.

Trump, OTOH, will wear a nice-well tailored suit with a white shirt and tie and look the perfect gentleman/businessman.

You got a point there. Nothing that has do do with the Clintons is as it initially appears. Be prepared for her to shine.

Larry Kudlow had a panel on his weekly radio program this morning, and one guy had an interesting take. He said Trump’s biggest objective in this campaign is to win over suburban Republican women. Whatever he does in the debate, he simply has to make them comfortable that he is competent, accommodating, and non-threatening.

Actually they are. It’s like watching a NASCAR race. They want to see her crash and burn in front of a nationwide audience. This means will she have a seizure, how will her eyes perform, will she faint because the only stool in the debate are those that come out of her mouth. More people hate the Clintons and this would be the ultimate revenge. Think of this as her witch trial. As she is plunged into the river will she float or sink. If she floats she is definitely a witch!
