Pacifist Patriot

I cannot wait for Monday night, but I need a little advice.

My sister and I are going to watch the debate together and have made a drinking game out of it. Because let's face it, that's really the only way to get through watching the Orange Toxic Waste. And if Secretary Clinton manages to make him totally lose his shit, we will probably just go ahead and shotgun a bottle of champagne. So my question, is there any way to avoid alcohol poisoning under the circumstances?

On a side note, could we get a wine smiley like the beer one here at DU?

I am so serious. I don't think it would hinder her performance one bit. She doesn't need notes or a teleprompter.

It would tick off Trumpelthinskin so much he wouldn't be able to think of anything else (I know he never thinks anyway).

Best would be if IlDouche got so po'd that he makes a charge at Hillary, and is tackled by Secret Service on national tv.

OK dreaming I know. But if she came out that way, even that would make the point, then she'd take it off when everyone got upset. It would also show she's got a sense of humor and how unconcerned she is about her 'opponent'.

and claim that she's hiding severe health issues; or, the lights bother her because of the prescription drugs she's taking; or, her hand was shaking too much; or, you can't see here eyes - she's hiding their movement; or, she's got a receiver built into the blindfold; or, this is just one more symptom of her Alzheimer's/MS/Parkinson's/tumor; etc.; etc.; etc.; ad infinitum...

and all the tRump supporters would believe it all and spread the crap far and wide, with no apparent regard for truth and facts (as usual).

Then the media would declare tRump the winner, and freeperville would explode in the usual vitriol (for Clinton) and lovefest (for the Orange Coward).

I agree the Drumpfters would turn it around. But then whatever she does, outrageous calm statesmen like whatever the Trumpanzees will put their horrible spin on it.

She comes out normally. Debate starts, before she first speaks she puts on blindfold and one hand behind back and says "I'm ready!". Everybody goes what wait a second start to freak she takes it off and goes, 'hey just a little fun to lighten the mood'

She entered unaided. She did debate unaided. Just put it on and took it off and made a funny.

By Monday, you're tolerance will make you invincible, in the face of Trump's insults, lies, and funny faces.
