Place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen.... will Trump chicken out of the debate Sunday?

or will his arrogance make him show up, do his Mussolini lip pose and double down and be even more obnoxious and go after Bill with "well he did worse, trust me!"

His arrogance will drive him to attend, his cowardice could drive him away. He has to know this will dominate the event.

And he doesn't even have that.

After a few weak stabs at "Benghazi" and "Mail Server" he will have nothing left.
If it was anyone else it could be painful to watch. But with Trump? I'll enjoy it.

Trump tirade against the Clinton's and Obama,count on it. This Sucker is so predictable and bait-able,which is a Personality trait of a Narcissistic Bully. He is a Star and Star's can get away with that shit.

All Hillary has to do is refuse to shake his hand and let him self-destruct.

Trump is going to double-down on the offensiveness and stupidity and dig his own grave.

His ego won't allow him to not show up, plus he'll be bringing up Bill and Hillary's marriage, Bill's infidelities etc. It's a losing hand most say but I hope he does and I HOPE Hillary vaporizes him, with CLASS of course

I mean, conservatives almost always leading with that glass jaw and glass house, and tRump is leading with a glass house, glass jaw, glass everything by bringing up Bill Clinton's infidelities and their marriage. Hillary will be ready.

This is his night at the ball.

It's so wierd that neither candidate is wildly popular, but at the same time, this is going perfectly for both candidates.

It's like, all we can have, since the tea baggers, is different smelling trash. THe good days of Obama are gone.

He honestly believes he can do no wrong, and anyone who criticizes him is a loser. He main goal in the debate, then, will be to point out in no uncertain terms that anyone who disagrees with him is a big, poopy pants, booger face loser.

With his tremendous ego and arrogance The Donald will come to Sunday's debate confident he has Hillary on the ropes.

His sense of privilege runs so deep, I doubt he believes he did anything wrong.
