How Trump Could Win the Debate
I really don't like this preppy little Rich Lowry dweeb, but I do agree with him on this:
http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...-debate-214272
Quote:
Trump has a significant built-in advantage in that there is a lower standard for him — not because the media isn’t tough enough on him, as all the media mavens agree, but because he is the de facto challenger and candidate of change in a change election. Trump can win by clearing a bar of acceptability, whereas Clinton has to do more than that and either significantly wound Trump or make a compellingly positive case for herself that has so far eluded her in both 2008 and 2016.

Another interesting article on the topic.
Like everything else, the debates are all about Trump

Actually most experts in human nature will tell you that that is the best way to tell who came out the winner. The body language and facial expressions will reveal the truth.
The post debate spin is bullshit.

It's quite interesting that some people here were bragging about how Hillary is going to be making mincemeat out of Trump, they could not wait for the debates, Hillary will leave Trump in the dust, on and on .................or so it went.
Now here we are, best for Hillary would be to get a doctor's note and skip the debates entirely. Her best performance will be ridiculed by Trump and it will be a challenge to break even. Hillary should take the stance that "if Trump does not release all his personal taxes, I will not debate him". Why make herself the sacrificial lamb?

This is true.
Both Gore and Kerry beat Bush in their debates if you count being more knowledgeable as a win. But what wins political debates is charisma, not knowledge.
Gore had zero charisma.
Kerry had zero charisma.
And Hillary has zero charisma.
She is going to lose.

Bullshit.
She's going to rope-a-dope his bluster, he'll punch himself out in twenty minutes, then she'll start busting him up.
It will be painful to watch even for Democrats, like Tex Cobb being pummeled by Larry Holmes.
It won't even be sport.

I think that these debates demand an excellent moderator! I hope that he or she will be qualified to do this extremely difficult (and important) job.

Optics matter, facts do not. Perfect for the emperor jackass of Trump tower.
What a shithole of a country this is becoming.
