I hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling the PIAPS will salvage her failing campaign tonight. It will have little to do with her boring performance and more to do with NBC’s attack on Trump, NBC protecting the PIAPS and Trump himself.
First, the PIAPS has all the questions that are going to be asked tonight, of her and Trump. She has been rehearsing her answers and rebuttals for weeks. Her questions will be softballs. In a staged attempt to look tough on her, Holt will ask her about the emails and her health and she will have crafted answers ready for both “Comey said there was nothing there and my doctor last week released information that said I was fine, except for the heat exhaustion and the pneumonia”.
Trump’s question will all be attacks, you once said that and now say this, people say you don’t have the temperament for President, why won’t you release tax records, what are you hiding, etc.
And then there is Trump himself. In all previous debates he’s come off poorly, easily provoked into angry, and at times adolescent responses. NBC and Holt will do everything they can to make Trump fly off the handle. I’m not sure Trump can remain “Presidential” throughout the entire staged “debate”.
If Trump gets her in a corner, Holt will jump in immediately and rescue her .. “Mr Trump please respond only to the question? etc. The short 30 second limit on rebuttals will help Holt keep the pressure off the PIAPS.
If you are expecting Trump to finally expose the Clintons for the human sewage they are, talk about the scandals and crimes they have committed for decades... you are going to be very disappointed. Trump will stay more or less on the topics. Any talk of the the PIAPS’ sordid career will stay current. His attacks will be about the email scandal, her incompetence as SOS, Benghazi, suggestions her health may be an issue.
There will be nothing about her campaigns against the women Bubba soiled, her hiring of Jack Pallidino & Tony Pellicano to harass the women. If you are waiting for him to ask her “Did you know that your husband was accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick in April of 1978 and NBC Dateline did an extensive investigation.”, you will be waiting a long time.
At this point all one can pray for, and yes I said pray for - is some sort of medical incident - the left eye starting to dart all over the place, a seizure, a coughing fit, etc. But her doctors will have her medicated to the max to prevent that.
No-one likes to be wrong, but I sure as hell hope I’m wrong about tonight. I would love to eat crow by the plateful.
I have believed this for a very long time now, all the way back to 1993 when I first started to learn about the Clintons and what truly sick POS they both are -— the only thing that can stop them ,is an act of God. So God, if you are listening, what are you waiting for???
I agree she has the questions, but she is going to look dumb from the start. All Trump needs to do is show the differences between them.
Fro example, he’s for calling Jerusalem Israel’s capital. Is she?
If Hillary comes across as too 'memorized', (I'm sure She gave the questions to Holt), and if Holt is too enabling of Hillary and attacking of Trump, it will be a turnoff to the audience of 100 million. If he pulls a Candy Crowley and Trump handles it well, it will be a home run for Trump and further degrade the perception of the MSM by the 100 million.
If Trump just stays on his platform messages, looks and acts Presidential, stays calm No Matter What, he wins.
“At this point all one can pray for, and yes I said pray for - is some sort of medical incident “
We’re praying, but not necessarily for some medical incident. I get to the point of almost hyperventilating then remember that God is in control. I don’t believe He has brought Donald this far, and has enabled him to thwart so many attacks, only to make it end badly.
It would be kind of funny, though, if Hillary were to start spewing some glossolalia so people would think she’s demon possessed or something. (Assuming that she’s NOT actually demon possessed — which she might be.)
