So, you are Hillary and you get to ask Trump one question. Go for it:

[Coyotl]

What would your debate question be?

Mine would be, "Are you now or have you ever been a birther?" It makes him seem more like a National Inquirer headline than a Presidential candidate. It diminishes any sense of gravitas he might try to convey. It paints him as the racist he is. It highlights how he isn't a candidate with real proposals. It places him ion his real place, just some blowhard with a Twitter account. And, it is a response to his blaming Hillary for birtherism. Trump cannot make his new lie stick and he diminishes only himself as a tabloid gossip if he continues to promote his lie.

*****
We need a list of Trump's known crimes.

[Madam45for2923]

1. You thought Romney should release his taxes, but you won't? Explain

WE LISTENIN'

[RKP5637]

2. Are you out of money and also kept donations? Is that why you're hiding your Tax Returns?

You don't sound very educated to us!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Yes...something to hit is ego. And being the smartest and richest is a sore point.

[BootinUp]

3. What are you hiding in your tax returns?

[Fast Walker 52]

28. that's my question too

[GreydeeThos]

4. How much of your wealth was obtained by telling lies?

[louis-t]

6. Or outright theft?

He doesn't pay people and stuffs the money in his pocket.

[Fast Walker 52]

29. and by not paying people for their work?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Are you orange all over?

But seriously, I might want to ask him why, as a millionaire, he uses his charitable foundation to pay his legal bills and buy paintings of himself instead of paying out of his own pocket. Does he know it's illegal to do that? And I would always use the word "millionaire" because he wants to be known as a yuuge billionaire and that would bug the hell out of him.

[Coyotl]

9. Good one. Don't ask him anything you would ask a serious Presidential candidate.

Add, "And, why did you choose orange when you decided to paint yourself?"

Maybe he is hiding the gray pallor side effect of anti-psychotic medication.

[randr]

7. Did you mother ever get treatment for being so mean to you?

[bettyellen]

8. Are there reports his mother was cruel?

[Coyotl]

11. Making him do his hair like hers may have been cruel and unusual punishment, unconstitutional even.

[bettyellen]

18. Why are we blaming women for this shit head? His dad was a racist piece of shit.

[mopinko]

21. really. damn.

he's a grown ass man.

[bettyellen]

23. In the last twenty four hours I've seen slut, grandma, and worse...

Now we are redirecting ire toward Trump to his mother? Encouraging Hillary to engage in cat fighting?


WTF DU?

[Coyotl]

24. Great segue into another good question:

"Have you no sense of humor?"

No one on this thread has blamed a woman for anything.

[bettyellen]

25. "Trump's mother was mean" isn't actually funny. So there's THAT. LOL.

Implying she was nuts or somehow responsible for her shitty kid is boilerplate sexism. So there's also that.

[Coyotl]

26. "Have you no sense of humor?"

[bettyellen]

32. Not about the sexism here in the last 24 hours. Someone on TV just used

Reagan's "soft bigotry of low expectations" against Trump. LOL. Turning this grading on a curve thing against the anti- affirmative action crowd. Now THAT's interesting to me.

I'm actually the funniest person you're likely to meet. Just very disappointed so many were hoping for some sort of catfight w Flowers. So much WTF, you know?

[tribe-time]

10. when was the last time you were told no if ever

[Owens]

12. Show me on the map...

where Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, Qatar and Oman are.

[Coyotl]

16. Trump would reply, "I don't answer trick questions. I know three of those aren't countries."

He is after all, a know it all.

Welcome to DU! Great question.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. When you said you would shoot a human being for giving you the finger

are you aware that is murder? When you said you would take Iraq's oil, are you aware of the fact it is against US and International law and the Geneva Convention ? Are you aware there are international laws? And what is your favorite international law?

[RKP5637]

15. When was the last time you were institutionalized and you've not told us? n/t

[Coyotl]

33. Do you know something the rest of us don't?

I'd focus on the Alzheimer's first, "Do you remember Ronald Reagan and how would you compare yourself to Ronald Reagan?

You can just imagine how he would make himself greater than St. Ronnie, pissing off a lot of St. Ronnie loyalists and showing off his poor memory.

[RKP5637]

34. The way he talks and formulates his thoughts are bizarre, like first stages of dementia.

I had heard once he was in a deep depression at one time, but I have no link and don't want to spread unfounded rumors. Maybe he just takes a little bit of what Ben Carson takes. LOL!

[Coyotl]

36. Alzheimer's n/t

[Fozzledick]

17. How much money have you received from the Russian banks associated with Putin and the Russian Mafia?

And what do they expect in return?

(not that I would expect an honest answer to any question)

[lastlib]

19. "Mr. Trump, do you believe that Vladimir Putin is an authoritarian?"

Yes or No.

[Avalux]

20. Do you believe you are a successful businessman?

He'll say yes, then she needs to follow up with a rhetorical "then why won't you release your taxes? A successful businessman would be proud to release them. I'm thinking you're not as successful as you say you are, after all, you lie about everything. I dare you to prove me wrong."

[Kathy M]

22. Why you and your organization not another Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme ?

Please explain

[underpants]

27. HOW?

That simple - How do you plan to do anything that you've promised?

[Coyotl]

30. Such as, "How will you get anyone to work with you?"

Big hurdle there!!

[onecaliberal]

31. Why do you tell everyone that you're a billionaire when clearly you're not.

You could release your tax returns to prove difinitively either way.

[Shankapotomus]

35. You stated in 2011 that the American people

"....will not believe" what your investigators were finding in Hawaii regarding President Obama's birth records.

But you never revealed what your investigators found.

Would you care to share what exactly your investigators found in Hawaii?

Boom.

Trump will be dead in the water.

He's got nothing.

[Coyotl]

37. And if he thinks he has something, it is going to make him come off even worse. No win.

The birther thing is a no win with undecideds and independents, it is just a way to create a wingnut base of racist Obama haters. The more he is called a birther, the greater the gap between him and Hillary.

[Mamajami]

38. In all honesty, do you really want to be President?

[Coyotl]

41. ... or, are you trying to win a bet?

He might have run because someone said he couldn't win the nomination, and he replied, "Put your money where your mouth is.".

[rock]

39. "What's that on your mouth?"

"No, the other one."

[Jim Lane]

40. "What, if anything, is the biggest mistake you've made in your business and financial dealings?"

His ego might lead him to say "None." This is great. With one word he's taken responsibility for four business bankruptcies, for all the Trump Foundation misdeeds, for the Trump University fiasco, for a legion of stiffed contractors and other broken promises, etc.

If he could bring himself to admit to a mistake about anything, then that would at least be a start toward cracking this image of the supersuccessful businessman.

I'd really be hoping for "None," though.
