so it will only pay attention to the bullying and the bragging and the zingers.

you're right, hillary can't improve her standing simply by showing off her eminent qualifications, rational thought process, and empathy for americans. she has to, metaphorically, pop the bully in the nose.

set it up to put the repub in the most salubrious position by setting the bar low, lower, lowest for the pub?

Bush I, Dole, Bush II both times, McCain, Romney, were all considered underdogs, and merely not vomiting all over themselves would render them the winners

and the aftermath of many of them, particularly that infamous orange Gore debate, actually claimed that the pub candidate did a better job.

wait til you see what the Fools for Scandal do with Trump's sure do be despicable performance

just ask Matt Lauer how he thinks Trump will do/has done

But the verbiage is almost the same. Funny how people think alike, even those who don't know each other.

to see others have stolen them before I came up with the idea myself

believe me; I have the best ideas!

That can only be good.

Unfortunately his supporters believe in the same nonsense. Trump knows his base very well and he plays to their biases and ignorance. But normal people will abhor his ignorance and basis.

Stop worrying what those loser idiots think and do.

They wallow it continuously like fat pigs.

Of course it's going to be a challenge. Debating crazy is worse than debating stupid.

Audience to play to. He's goes for laughs and applause. It's going to be really bizarre experience for him.

Actually answer questions in detail instead of giving the old "I have a plan, you will see, it's great", yet never give any details at all about those plans. If he is allowed to get away with his usual BS, I hope Hillary confronts him and pushes him for real answers.

The effect is cumulative and unforgivable. I think the press maybe got the memo that there is no excuse for that shit. I hope so, anyway.

is that the bar is set so god awfully low for Trump that if he manages to show up and not throw up all over his chest it will be tallied as a win for him and the fence sitters might fall his way.

I do hope that if he starts yelling and interrupting that Hillary says something to the effect of "wait your turn and use your inside voice, Donald." I think if Hillary speaks to him as an inferior without taking cheap shots he's liable to freak out, as it is clear he does not like being corrected by women.

to feel better about voting for her. have had this conversation w a couple of berners. i think a strong performance, just the shocking comparison, side by side, will soothe a lot of consciences.

this time, above all others (except, maybe 04, when everyone already knew what a disaster incumbent President Cheney was), how can any rational person even consider voting for a true madman with a demonstrably authoritarian worldview?

And president Pence will be even worse than Cheney was

yeah, it is tiring. especially after obama.

i firmly believe that, even if there are some things i dont think hillary will deliver, she will be a great president who will bring real change for the better.

no doubt drumph represents change, but it can only be change for the worse.

is a holding action, possibly replete with exec orders.

also, look for an extended filibuster of whatever SCOTUS appointee appears on the horizon

it would be nice if what you hope for happened, but I just don't see it. outside the urban areas, it's all Deliveranceville

I went to college in downstate ILL and IND.

just amazingly benighted, mired in the past, for the most part

I know....blah blah about supercilious superiority complex, etc., but stereotypes exist for a reason
