This is where he shines: the quip. The one liner. Hillary is more of a policy wonk, so while I am voting for her (BELIEVE *THAT*) I fully expect that if Donald Trump does not win tomorrow night's debate by a landslide, it is more proof that his campaign is in disarray, and he is ill-equipped for the job.

He should win tomorrow by a MILE. If he doesn't, well, you know...

1. i hope not

that would mean he likely wins the election if that god forbid happens.. I hope HRC is prepared (i beleive she is) to del with his sorry ass

[tblue37]

10. Obviously the OP is satirically raising the bar for Trump and lowering it for HRC. nt

[still_one]

13. I realize it, but sometimes you never know, which is why the sarcasm tag is useful

[LaydeeBug]

31. I appreciate your attempt to apply your editorial to my OP

but I still expect Don the Con to show the USA the art of the deal.

He should be able to put this one away, no problem.

2. Trump doesn't shine in those areas at all.

His petty personal attacks garner attention because they're unprecedented at this level, not because they're creative or witty.

Crooked/Little/Goofy/Low Energy (insert name)

3rd grade level insults, at best.

11. Why do you think 100 million are watching?

For Hillary to chat about issue? Nope. They are hoping for drama. The public is addicted to drama.

[renate]

24. the cool thing is that they're not going to get it

It'll be really interesting to see Trump try to whip up a crowd that isn't allowed to get whipped up.

[cheapdate]

3. Hillary did fine in the Democratic debates.

Even where I didn't agree with her, she made her positions clear and defended them succinctly.

She'll do fine.

[tandem5]

4. I think you need a news discussion panel to try out your reverse psych-out.

You're just scaring the natives using it here

[LaydeeBug]

32. LOL. As a bonafide scared native, and full throated Hillary supporter,

I still expect Don the Con can put this away, because he is the master debater.

[Doreen]

5. soooo

If he wins can we ( Democrats ) all gather and let the world know it was a rigged debate? He whines, stomps, and moans when he loses anything saying that it was rigged so can we do it to....just this once?

[Foggyhill]

6. Not a chance. He's barely able to put a sentence together, especially when angry.

Maybe 20 years ago, but he's not the same person as then.
He's really degraded A LOT.

[brush]

7. You're serious with this?

That bombast of his worked with those 16 other clowns in the repug primary debates but one-on-one with someone with experience and knowledge, no.

You have to actually know things about foreign and domestic policy.

I think Trump gets his ass kicked.

[Demsrule86]

8. I don't.

[unblock]

9. I see what you're doing ;)

Yes, he's the best at debates. The best ever. Believe me.

[LaydeeBug]

33. perzactly. He is a tour de force...the art of the deal

I *fully* expect him to win tonight. Handily.

[tribe-time]

12. he's going to win huge best debate performance ever

and he will be in the best shape and best looking and of course has the biggest manhood believe me

[DemocraticWing]

14. Of course he'll win. Anything LESS than making Hillary leave the stage will be a CRUSHING LOSS.

I dare say that if Trump doesn't win UNANIMOUS PRAISE from pundits and voters tomorrow, it will be the most devastating moment of his campaign!

[LaydeeBug]

34. I could not agree with you more. nt

[tevolit]

15. He will be Great, I'm sure.

He is a Showman and he will be very charismatic, I can tell you that. Okay.

He is very confident and will have no self doubt at all. None, none at all. Why should he when he feels that he is the best
at what he does. And he does feel that way, you can tell he is very confident just by the way he carries himself. Because of this confidence he will show no signs of self doubt. He has confidence, tremendous confidence.

And if it is shown, by Hillary or the moderator, that there is some untruthfulness in something that he says, his mind will quickly find a way to connect some thread of truth to those words, and thereby maintain his feeling of righteousness. And even if there is no thread of truth to be found, even by him, I'm thinking that he will truly believe that it doesn't matter because, in his mind, he is the one that should be president. And since that is true, in his mind, it is the only truth that matters and we should all just believe him.(Believe in him.)

You see, confidence is spellbinding. His boldness, showmanship and confidence nearly ensures that the viewing public will be taken in by his charisma.

I'm not the one that brought this up. This is what others, many others are saying. I don't know, maybe there is some truth to it.

We have had great debate performances in the past. Lincoln's performances come to mind. Be sure to tune in because it is likely that we will have the chance, to once again, witness one of the greatest debate performances of all time. That I can tell you. Okay.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. He will CLAIM he won no matter what happens....

Expect Tweety to agree.

[Missn-Hitch]

17. I am practicing my bowing technique.

Here is something the Orange Menace said which is 100% true:

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

Hell, I can't think of anything more true.

[elmac]

18. yes, its already being advertised like a World Wrestling Organization event

nationally and on local TV. Its a circus and the clown will always win in that venue.

[C Moon]

19. In the past 2 presidential debates, it appeared the media declared the winner by their "zingers."

More dumbing down of America.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has an arsenal of zingers, but no real content or knowledge—and the media will love it.

[BigBearJohn]

20. Hillary will obliterate Trump. He cannot even tie her shoelaces.

[remaineruk]

21. Trump will never had had a woman stand up to him before

His character won't be able to stand it. I doubt he has had a woman practise debate him either. He will either revert to being mummy's boy or go on a mysogonist attack. Sad.

But he will be the BESTEST mummysboy or mysogonist EVER.

[FuzzyRabbit]

22. My prediction: On Tuesday the TV networks will declare Trump the winner.

I agree with BigBearJohn, Hillary will indeed obliterate Trump. But on Tuesday the TV networks will declare Trump the winner.

Expectations for Trump are so low that if he remembers his own name the press will say he greatly exceeded expectations.

And expectations for Hillary are so high that if she makes even one error she will be pilloried by the press for a disappointing performance.

[citizen blues]

23. He'll use the same strategy as he did in the repug debates.

He'll interrupt, talk over her, shout, and call her names. It will be almost impossible for Hillary to get her message across. That's exactly what he did in the primaries, and he knows that it's a tactic that plays well with the drama of reality tv.

What I would love to see is for him to be shut down when it's not his turn to talk even if it means turning off his mic. Of course, since journalism is all but dead in the U.S., it will never happen.

[DFW]

25. That depends on what you mean by "win"

You win a debate by having a better command of logic and facts. Trump has neither. Not even close.

He might win a shouting match. He might win a media circus. He will not win the debate.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

26. Since he has the best words of course he'll win - what could go wrong?

[longship]

27. I suspect that you'd be one of those glass half empty folks.

[kentuck]

28. Well, he did defeat 15 other big name Republicans to get there.

Surely he would have no problem with one little ol' lady...?

[jodymarie aimee]

29. I hope you are as spot on as your spelling

One is smart. One is dumb. I am betting on smart.

[randome]

30. Since reality never turns out the way we want, let's all hope for this.
