Trump team builds 'psychological profile' of Clinton for debate Read more: http://www.politico.com/

[Farmgirl1961]

The GOP nominee and his team are taking a more sophisticated approach to debate preparation than previously known.

Donald Trump’s team has created a detailed analysis of Hillary Clinton’s debate style — including her body language and verbal tics — with the goal of helping the GOP nominee exploit weaknesses during Monday’s debate, according to three sources familiar with Trump’s preparations.
The “psychological profile,” as the analysis is being called, is based on a statistical analysis of videos from 16 years' worth of Clinton’s debates, dating back to her 2000 campaign for Senate in New York, according to the operatives. They said it was assembled with assistance from a political data firm called Cambridge Analytica that specializes in “psychographic” modeling of voters and donors, and that Trump’s top advisers have been pleased with the results.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Not bad for the candidate who wasn't going to do any prep.

[KewlKat]

3. Don the Con, Liar in Chief

[NBachers]

2. It's like discussing psychographic modeling with my dog as he waits for me to put his food bowl down

[meow2u3]

10. Same here with my cats as they wait for me to feed them in the morning

[anamandujano]

15. Short & sweet & on the money.

4. I thought Psycho Graphic was the title of that Trump portrait

[Princess Turandot]

5. That's the Feinting Painting...nt

[drray23]

6. yeah because of course

he could not actually prep by brushing up on his policies since he has none. Instead he is going for the superficial to try to turn this into a reality show. Its not going to work. On a 1-on-1 debate he can not get away with short, disjointed answers and insults. He will have to expand on what he wants to do and this will turn into a trainwreck.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Damn!

How many dollars will Assface bill the RNC for that waste of man hours?

Shoulda just studied the issues.

[cheapdate]

8. I suspect a whole bunch of worthless quackery.

[geek tragedy]

9. Press release for Cambridge Analytica.

Anyone really think Trump is sitting through hours of reports by pencil-necked geeks?

[anamandujano]

16. They are probably just trying to train him how to react to

the morse code like shocks they are giving him as they analyze Hillary's tells. If we see long pauses before each of his answers, we'll know why.

[tableturner]

11. I hope he is thinking of all this nonsense.....

Yeah.....while he is trying to decipher ambiguous non-verbal cues and "tells", an actual debate will be going on. He needs to be focusing on what is being asked and what is being said so he can be ready to act, react, and defend. He could easily miss important chances to score points while he is being distracted by this mumbo jumbo.

I think this is pure gamesmanship.......trying to get in her head by making her uneasy. It won't work.

14. Gamesmanshp - exactly my thoughts

Trump is a guy with a limited attention span, or least with limited patience for ideas that are not his own, and one who has confidence that he can wing his way through any situation. Does anyone think that he's going to sit still for all of this advice and is actually going to try to apply this stuff in a debate? Not likely.

In addition, does anyone believe that Hillary is not going to be more than ready to answer any question that thrown at her? I think that if Trump is waiting to ponce on a "moment of weakness" he is going to still be waiting long after the debate is over.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

12. It doesn't matter how much he preps...

He's so easy to bait and has absolutely no self control. Hillary will push his buttons until he has a meltdown.

[Charles Bukowski]

13. Here's the amount of that info Trump will

retain by Monday:

"Crooked Hillary, derp"
