In the debates, all Hillary needs to do is

just let Trump talk. With no teleprompter, the more he talks the more he sounds like the despicable, ignorant human being that he is. In the Commander in Chief town hall he did exactly that.

Isn't that against the rules?

t-rump is already poisoning the well. Will not be like his debates with the repigs.

And it's going to go on for an hour and a half... I want more of this --

Trump on the gravely wounded NY bombing suspect:

“The bad part: now we will give him amazing hospitalization, he will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world, he will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room, and he’ll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is."

Room service? We spoil our patients with room service? No wonder we're spending too much on medical care.

He's also outraged that we'll provide an attorney if he can't afford one himself.

Trump is dead in the water. The man simply doesn't know what he's talking about. At all. Ever.

I can easily see him making several "Aleppo" type gaffes over the course of 90 minutes, he's that clueless. And unlike past debates, he can't hide behind 6-10 candidates and he cant blatantly lie about HRC and get away with it.

He'll be his own worst enemy on Monday for sure.

but while I think that could sink Trump, it would be even better if Hillary comes across as having great plans for the future and that she's capable of getting things done. That would mean that anti-Trump might become pro-Hillary, instead of not voting or voting third party.

I really expect Trump to perform in a way similar to the Commander in Chief Forum... where he says things off the cuff that everyone can jump on.

When it's over we all need to be out there shouting that Hillary won and Trump lost or the Trumpsters will hog the attention.

Because it is really very unfair for her to wage time doing their jobs for them. That could get them talking- and keep her from going on too long with pesky "facts".

She can say that democrats and Republicans all defend the Consitution, but that TRump has made at least N proposals that would violate it ... then list them individually.

Then ask Republicans if they really support the Constitution, or do they support Trump, and a man who would trash the Constitution at every opportunity.

It will ruffle him.

Going to be fun to watch.

I personally don't get the poo pooing of her upcoming performance. I expect it to be great, and the media will struggle to spin it for Trump.
