‘Donald Trump’s Special’ (Clinton too weak to debate Trump by herself)
WSJ ^ | 9/26/2016 | James Toranto

Posted on 09/26/2016 11:11:54 AM PDT by GilGil

It’s normal to play down one’s own candidate’s strengths and play up the opponent’s, but this is ridiculous. Mook is saying Mrs. Clinton—who we’ve been told endlessly is the most qualified man, woman or child ever to seek office anywhere in the universe—can’t handle a debate unless the moderator takes her side. What’s going on here?...

...she can’t do it on her own, because her dishonesty is already established in most voters’ minds. Thus she needs the help of an outside authority, the moderator.

They needn't worry. The “moderators” will answer her questions for her. Count on it.

I don’t want her to fall on her face. I want her to wobble, then sit down next to the podium.

We need what’s left of her health to stay intact until the election. If she hits the floor she can claim another concussion, and then they will send in the second team.

She is extremely beatable. I want her to be Trump’s opponent.

I am pretty sure that her handlers have figured out a contingency in case she starts passing out. Wonder what it is!

Is Putin going to take her side when the going gets rough?

Calling him a racist didn't work so this is the new slogan

Damn good chance she doesn’t even make it thru the debate without one of her seizures or falling over.
That’s the wild card. None of her handlers know if she will make it.

I believe they are REALLY between a rock and a hard place on this. They have to dope her up enough to allow her to make it through the debate, but not enough that she is incoherent. A mighty fine line indeed.

I wonder what would happen if she started getting wobbly legged. Started listing side to side. Would they wait for her to collapse, or would they halt the debate?

If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Trump bark "SOMEONE get her a chair!"

Ah, perchance to dream.

>>>I hope you are right. I have no faith in the corrupt media. I am still wondering if this debate is going to happen. <<<

Trump himself doesn’t have any faith in the corrupt media! I have no doubts at all about his willingness and ability to address any attempted BS right there, on the spot.

I’d love to see hildabeast fall flat on her face, figuratively as I don’t wish harm on anybody. I think however, her team has made sure she’s had plenty of rest, and will see to it that any needed meds will be delivered to make her appearance look ok.

Trump on the other hand is like many men in that he struggles with answering direct questions, directly, and falls back on the same ole rhetoric. My concern is that instead of answering a question, he’ll begin to spout his rally speeches to distract from the answer. I’ve seen him do this over and over and over on other interviews. I do hope his team has prepared him differently.

In any event, hildabeast will NOT EVER get my vote. I’ve not yet met a democrat whose political positions come close to matching my own, and their lack of integrity and principles, definitely don’t.

Course, it doesn’t matter what they say on the stage. Each party is going to claim victory for themselves regardless of what anybody else thinks. The proof of the pudding will be in the voting booth on election day.

Wise comment, GilGil. Let Trump be Trump.

“They needn’t worry. The “moderators” will answer her questions for her. Count on it. “

If anybody else tries to jump into the fray, Trump needs to say “I am here to debate Hillary Clinton, not you. Period.”

I see your point, but I’m not sure it would be wise to give those two a platform. They might lose what support they have back to Clinton.
