... it won't matter how low the bar is set or what the expectations are. Nothing can help him.

Hillary will clean his clock. She'll mop the floor with him, wring him out, and mop the floor again, and hang him up wet and sour.

She's proven what she can do, he's shown us what an idiot he is... nothing will change.

I'm really not all that concerned.

they'll all decide that he "won" the debates if his chance of winning the election go from 23% before to 25% after.

we do seem to be pre-loading excuses for Trump where in if he doesn't babble like a toddler he has somehow "won."

But I'm not really worried. Hill has been dealing with idiots like him for years, decades maybe.

She should focus on her game, not worry about him and what he can do. The worst thing Hillary can do is lose her temper or get distracted by the bullshit he flings. After 11 hours in the well at the House, somehow I think she can deal with 1-2 hours on a stage with the Trumpster.

Trying not to have any "expectations" at all, really. I suspect that Trump will try to de-rail the process, and that Hillary is gonna get a few zingers in at his expense while pontificating on her platform and policy proposals. To date, I don't think Trump has much of that to use.

on the moderators. Whomever they may be. Are they going to allow Drumpf to rant and rave and evade the questions? Or will they bring him back again and again, cut him off from the word salad and the malicious spew, and MAKE him act like a sentient human being long enough to formulate an answer that actually addresses the question asked. I wish whoever these moderators are good luck. They'll need it.

hillary's presidential calm and competence will be drowned out by trump's drama.


hopefully, the coverage will continue to reflect it as disconcerting....
