Second Pres Debate (10/9) will be a town hall

[book_worm]

Second presidential debate (October 9, 2016, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO)

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. The candidates will have two minutes to respond and there will be an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate further discussion. The town meeting participants will be uncommitted voters selected by the Gallup Organization.

Anybody still uncommitted after the first debate is truly a moron, but HRC has done tons of town halls and I think she will do fine. Trump seems to mostly do rallies.

1. Book, I suspect you are wrong

Once the clear signal that she kicked his butt comes out, he will find a way to cancel it. G

2. I don't think so, he'll look weak and will get much

harsher blowback for it, like when he dodged the fox debate (to avoid megan kelly) ahead of the iowa caucuses, and then underperformed/lost as a result.

3. Better to cancel it rather than be exposed again like last night. That said I don't think his ego

will hold him back.

4. I wonder who will pick the audience? Uncommitted? How will they prove someone is

"uncommitted?" And if they are uncommitted at this point, why should they get to ask the questions?
