Re: 2016 Election
Reading commentary online I have a few conclusions about the debate:
1) There is no way for Hillary to actually "win" the debate.
2) Trump's bar is set so low that assuming he doesn't explode, all the headlines will be about how surprisingly statesmanlike he was.
3) Arguing with stupid people, you get dragged down to their level.
4) Neither will really talk policy, Trump particularly.
5) Hillary's best bet might be to just ignore the orange troll and talk to the room.

Most of what you say is right. I think Clinton should try and get under Trump's thin skin so he goes on the attack as this will help with the woman vote.

Regarding 2: Trump has been doing debate prep with Jabba the .. err... Roger Ailes, so I expect his performance will be better than most would expect and because of the low bar it will be praised.

I'm sure there's a way to embed that, but I can't for the life of me work it out.

I really hope the first question tonight is about their foundations and their taxes.

If Trump manages to not completely lose his shit on the debate stage ... he will melt down on twitter later.

Watching on Clinton News. Interested to see how long I can last before switching.

Good grief...Trumps constant sniffing during his answers is disgusting. Sounds like a cocaine user.

I think Clinton is already getting under his skin. His temper is going to boil over.

Re: 2016 Election
I think he is coming across as a bully right now...and that should play against him. His constant interruptions of her and his snarly faces are getting really annoying.

Re: 2016 Election
This is a disaster! Trump is wining all over the place. Hes got the right balance for his demographic and waverers.
