The big question - will he debate Hillary on September 26 - after seeing how clear, knowledgeable, and thoughtful she was tonight?

(1,307 posts)whether as you say, his ego makes him think he can do well - or if he has a small sliver of awareness that she will crush him. I just can't decide!

(13,340 posts)Oh they'll SAY he did great. Spin....spin...spin. But make no mistake, they know he face-planted tonight.

This is not a personality contest. This is an election to be Commander in Chief of our nation. The more he debates, the more obvious it will be that he is intellectually unqualified for the position.

(12,793 posts)This was before tonight's forum. One of my healthcare professionals commented (as FOX played in the background, of course) that in the debates Trump just needs to keep Hillary from "pushing his buttons."
I thought... if I were a Republican and could tacitly admit, as this lady did, that Trump is that easily de-railed -- in a debate, no less! -- I sure wouldn't want him anywhere near the White House!
I also thought... too bad I can't say anything as she's got her hands in my mouth with a sharp instrument.

(15,795 posts)After all, he views his Mexico trip as a "success", he'll see tonight likewise regardless of what anyone tells him otherwise. That just how he rolls. Or trolls. Or whatever.
