2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat are your predictions for what Trump will do in the debates?
I predict that he will act like Sacha Baron Cohen in the below clip:
And/or fling his feces, tell "Hillary's mom is so fat" jokes, or walk off the stage crying with his middle finger in the air

Like the Hillary started it and I finished it bullshit.
That's what they are putting out.

(2,205 posts)Frankly, this will be a context between a highly capable person and a maniac, dumb, mental person.
And this person Don the Con will reply everything incoherently and blatant lies.

(1,016 posts)Debate prep will determine the debates.
Trump prep: Cheeseburgers and zingers with Ailes
Hillary prep: Mock debates, cramming policy, good old school debate prep
High school debate teams prep better than Trump.
Now Trump supporters if you were going to debate, wouldn't you be doing what Hillary is doing or would you just hang out with your buddies and eat cheeseburgers?

(4,520 posts)with an attack on Hillary, the moderator or both. In other words he won't be answering questions. I think his handlers will make damn sure no badly how he is failing, he won't walk out. More than likely during his debate prep someone hammered this into his head. Once the debate is over, its over. Expect the twitter storm to include: it was rigged, the media is biased, the moderator hated me.....There won't be a 2nd debate.

(126 posts)try to throw the moderators off his trail with a spray of barely connected talking points and non sequiturs, like buckshot. His supporters and RWNJ TV will love his theatrics, claiming him to be "a down to earth, no b.s., straight-talker," and will declare him to be the winner.

Then he will deny that later when he claims to have won the "debate" yuuugely, adding "everyone says so".
He will bluster gibberish to waste time, avoid any actual answers, possibly attack the moderator live, lie about his hand size, lie about his trip to Mexico, lie about his business success, lie about his tax returns, brag about having saved Flint, yadda yadda.

(9,670 posts)I remember the Biden/Palin debate; Joe expertly dissected her while remaining cordial and respectful. The next day, in the Land of the Red in which I live, Palin's sycophants were singing her praises, asserting she had destroyed Biden and proven her mettle.
I wondered if we had watched the same debate. These things never change. Trump may lay an egg, but expect it to be promoted as a Trump victory.
