The Unofficial Trump Won't Show at the Debates Thread

[CanonRay]

No way he goes on stage with her one on one. He comes up with some lame-ass excuse, blames her and Obama and the Media, and that's that. I'm prepared to eat my words, but my gut tells me I'm right.

1. Or if he does show up

It'll be the first debate in history where people are chanting "Jerry! Jerry!"

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. Ok, you win!!!

[SticksnStones]

2. He shows but finds a way to feel insulted and storms off

And then that's all anyone talks about for days.

Mission accomplished.

3. I guaran-damn-tee he does and many of the talking sphincters in the

media will praise him for not ripping off his shirt and flinging his feces at Mrs. Clinton and the moderator.

4. Samantha Bee had this segment last night about Roger Ailes' coaching trump:

6. He's an reality TV star, he's going to do very well at delivering a performance at the debate.

He has no substance, but voters don't care about substance or policies--that's his theory anyways (and his theory could very well be true).

He'll show up, make a bunch of big, dramatic statements, throw a ton of lies out there so that Clinton can't rebut them all, and deliver a bunch of very well-crafted one liners written for him by Roger Ailes.

Will the lack of substance hurt him? History indicates not.

7. He'll show up

...and if he doesn't attack Hillary and choke her live on National TV he will be declared the winner by the media.

9. lofl... the M$M has set the bar for him so low

[Jade Fox]

8. I think Trump will show up for one debate......

and make up an excuse to dodge the other two.

10. Trump may decide to use the event to

attack the media generally with a strong tilt toward accusing media of being in the tank for Hillary.

If his supporters accept this version, and they will, he may feel he can continue his fact-free campaign.

But a rampage against the media probably can't be sustained over an hour and a half. The longer Trump is on stage and the cameras are rolling, the greater the chance his spiel gets tedious. His error quotient rises. Hillary has more skill sets to deploy and the longer exposure format favors her effective use of all of them.

I think she's going to kick his sorry ass.

11. And he's going to drop out of the election... Real Soon Now!

Because he really doesn't want to be POTUS.

Or something.
