h/t Charles P. Pierce in Esquire

Im looking for something with maximum burn without stopping to name calling. Have edited the OP to reflect that. More please?

So a riff on the ignorant and lying would work but peeve is unprovable. Perhaps reworded with something about his hatred and disrespect for women in general?

An arriviste is "an ambitious or ruthlessly self-seeking person, especially one who has recently acquired wealth or social status." A pretty good description of Trump.

Calling. That's their thing and I don't want to hear the same from Hillary. We go high!

well, i'm getting a bit ahead of myself....

Use this descriptor when referring to him. "Game show host Donald Trump proposes eliminating the estate tax." "Game show host Donald Trump admires Vladimir Putin." "Game show host Donald Trump wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act." It pegs him as the political amateur he is.

than Pat Sajak? Or Alex Trebec, who has much more experience as a game show host than you do? Why do you think you would be a better president than other, more experienced game show hosts?"

I stole that from someone here on DU

eta: Blustering Buffoon

Republican White Russian

I almost think that saying he is an egocentric panderer would blow his orange blossom but that would be name calling.

I'll keep at it...lol. It's a fun exercise.

Squirming maggot .

Can't Stand the Heat.

Afraid to release taxes.

Self-conscious about his bald-spot

I realized that if he kept the white hair it would definitely glow through. The yellow is camouflage- a distraction!

Has alienated vast segments of our country.

Has created an illusion of power that is all fluff and mostly nutter...I know name calling, but I couldn't resist.

Has created an illusion of stabilty that is merely masking the crumbling facade of Trump's character.

You could almost add whatever you want to the sentence.

I'll keep at it.

Sorry 6 words.

Something containing coward . Especially after his meeting with Egyptian leader / dictator

edit to add and the stop and frisk proposal

nt

nt

nt

"Cannot get a loan in your own country."

"It's laughable to hear an obese, red-faced man denigrate women for their appearances."

"Wait. I think I see blood coming out of your whatever."

"Where is Meredith McIver, Mr. Barron?"
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Meredith McIver approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

Working out that way, is it? Lol.

don't even address anything he says, just let us all absorb the depth of his superficiality

after each of T's rants, just
HC: "Thank you Mr. T, that was very revealing"

and ---

HC: "I see we have our differences"
but again without dignifying anything he said with a specific response

do you rebut the statements made by a 4 year old having a tantrum at the supermarket?

Melania (or Ivana or whoever) isn't his wife: HE is HER husband

when the DumpsterFire says something bad about immigrants (it could happen)
HC replies: "That's funny coming from an immigrant's husband"

contains bonus gender whammy

while HC is talking about all the different kinds of regular folks she's going to work for she'll say

"and Mr Trump wants to make sure Millionaires Lives Matter"

HC: "Of course almost all of us came from immigrant families - even German-Americans like Mr. Drumpf, your father - that's why my immigration policies etc etc"

HC: "... nobody wants to gamble with a casino boss"

maybe good comeback if IlDouche brings up 'rigged elections'

HC: "Unlike my opponent, my record is one of kept promises - not broken promises. etc etc"

(actually borrowed/stolen (with a slight twist) from GHWB 1988 debate with Gov. Pete Dupont. The actual quote (which pundits considered totally devastating to Dupont) was, "Let me help you, Pierre...." It suggested that Dupont was out of his depth, and referring to him as "Pierre" (his given name) instead of "Pete" was a slap at his "blue blood lines" as a member of the extremely wealthy Dupont family.)

Might as well go for it!

HC: "I pay my taxes because I want to contribute to our children's lives and safety etc etc.

Mr. T, I don't think my taxes should be zero. I think no patriot americans want to avoid their duty to contribute like everyone else."

before Don the Con can bring up the topic of HC's age,

HC: "well you're a grandpa, aren't you Don, what is it, six times, counting all your ex-wifes' kids of course,
so you'll understand how important it is that we leave a safe livable world for their kids to grow up in etc etc

You know, though, now that I think of it, I've never seen a picture of you with any of your grandkids. Hey show me one right now yeah we can take a minute to do that, right, OK - you have one right in your wallet right?

Bill and I are so looking forward to that special love grandparents have. Don, what's your most treasured memory about your first grandchild?"

*the ex-wives crack is just a quick casual aside, like she was trying to do the math on the fly but I hope she uses the phrase several times in the debate. and since the correct number of grandkids is EIGHT it would be interesting if sh*tgibbon even catches it and corrects her

**am I safe on my bet that CheetoHitler wouldn't have any kid pictures in his wallet, nor a single touching story to tell about any family member?

(ps I think that's who it was)

a phrase that could be used by HC or even non-combatants

All the pundits actually admitting they have, and will continue to grade him on a curve - so now it's a concrete thing they freely admit. Gotta wonder how Trump feels about it? Born on third base, has the bar lowered for entry ... Needs to be graded on a curve or would be obliterated. How steep is this damn curve anyway?

I'll be watching silly videos and keeping an eye on twitter, can't stand to sit through it live knowing I can always see the recording almost the instant it's finished. OK I might peek at CNN with no sound just to see their faces.

Such a Hillary hater (and BOB CT aficionado) he's done a little damage to their marriage as well as my own friendship w him. So if he's there he'll be waiting in us hand and foot, with a sock in his mouth; LOL. If we were in a swing state Id not easily forgive him.
Any way- will be watching Maddow and or Joy Reid before or after as well. And drinking beer.

for each of the 2-3 word phrases people came up with that you like
write on pieces of paper, each cut out and string them all around the debate viewing area

nother fun idea
Drumpf bingo
make bingo cards with squares like
Wall Criminals Weak Emails Benghazi etc
cross off square when FerretTop uses word see who wins first
the friend's hubby could play too

friend's hubby challenge: make his own Bingo card for HC, would be telling what he'd put in the squares ay?

Very long rants at social gathering because he was boring and unhinged. He was indulged for a long time, and then I had to tell him how damned obnoxious he was. So unfortunately I've known for a year what would be on those bingo squares. Like many angry men, he thought his long screeds were helpful. I am well informed, so they were not.

thinking you get to rant your opinions without pushback?

I flat out told him a lot of people were remarking on how intimidating his nasty rants were, and that I had enough. It wasn't just him, but he was a part of what I really came to dislike about the Sanders campaign. The florid exaggerations and bluster, the CT theories, the complete inability to point a finger toward the GOP.

HC: this is our country, not some Monster Truck Rally

The Great Pretender.

as response to anything he says about women

"America was made strong by the energy of our business men and women and they have a lot good public policy ideas to offer. Maybe not bankruptcy businessmen so much... a bankruptcy businessman would probably bankrupt the country"

The only reason You're asking me this. Because you have not been diligent, you want to pretend you are with me.

Sure beats "old orange bald guy."

anus mouth. he is a long haired LOON.

"the truth is powerful," or "facts are powerful."

Classy but to the point and not name-calling.

when he really goes off the rails...new meme!

Especially since it's one that Trump particularly hates.

Apologies to Churchill.

You know, cuz Mark Cuban's going to be front row at the debate.

A slightly humorous term for "systematic liar." It fits and it will be way over Trump's head.

passing reference to 'one of his ex-wives, can't remember which one'
especially if CheetoHitler is claiming he's a champion of women.

I like two listed above:

Russian Errand Boy and
Slum Landlord

or we could call him Slumdog Landlord

Or:

Fake.

Charlatan.

Reality show actor.

ALLEGED billionaire.

Crass, tacky, cheesy.

Any description that deflates the picture of himself that he's trying to paint. He's not actually brilliant, macho, or savvy. Call him what he is.

Detestable, despicable, deplorable.

Hows Deauche bank relationship going ..... Where are you going to franchise your name next since you do not do any actual building . Which banks / countries are listed on tax returns that you are planning on paying your debt back ?

pathological liar, & Putin's boyfriend.

HC: "how many of us want US foreign policy handled by a russian errand boy?

or if time allows, refer to FerretTop as "the son a slum landlord who grew up to be a bankruptcy landlord"

said in her best Ronald Reagan voice.

...but I watched 'The Big Lebowski' the other night. As might be expected, "shut the f*** up, Donnie!" is going through my head quite often these days (especially when reading political articles or watching our brainless media). I suspect I will be saying this to my television more than once on Monday night.

Identifying a verifiable lie is not taking a side. It was called responsible journalism at one time.

Personally, I'd rather see professors who teach/coach debate at the collegiate level moderate these events than the media infotainers. At least they know the rules and stick to them.

a laugh track.

when a Trumpkin (ie supporter) gets upset, say you're "sorry if anyone's sensitive feelings" got hurt. Any mention of thinskinned would be good

You've come up with some great suggestions!

I'm very new here, couldn't find a 'like' button on your post so I'll just say it, Thank you.

Once he's got what he wants from a little guy, he screws em over. He's done this again and again.

Once he has your vote, he doesn't need you anymore. What on earth makes you think he'll do what YOU want?

Bankrupt casinos? Some businessman!

I like riffing on these! Thank you!

Double-dealing Don (self-dealing now, apparently..)

Spurious Swindler

Fraudulent Egomaniac

Unnatural Presidential candidate

I did blurt out a little laugh :p

It would drive him crazy because, dammit, he's a billionaire, not some poor peasant millionaire. Seems like few things bug him as much as the implication that he's not really all that rich.
