He's going to throw everything, including the kitchen, sink at Hillary in the hope that something sticks. I'm sure he'll accuse her of being involved in the attack in North Carolina and he'll probably go after Bill again. He hasn't even tried to reach out to people beyond his base for weeks; I don't see him starting with the last debate.

The Fitness one is a potential point for him to shoot off into Bizarro world for a long while, if that is the first topic hit.

Apart from that the list is far above my expectations given the chatter that Wallace lists to starboard

he's gonna' pull the "sick Grandma" excuse and not show up.
Really, why should he?
Seriously, given his standing in the polls, his continued way of disregarding the "norms" of campaigns and opponents, just what does he have to gain by showing up?
It would be SO much easier for him to produce some lame "rigged/fixed" excuse and he'd probably get yet another pass by a vast majority of the media - just to keep things interesting!
Sad to say that it seems to be a winning plan - and what a f**king mess we've got!!!!

Nobody wants to see another one of these, with Trump either acting a damn fool like Debate 2, or being cringe-inducingly ignorant, like Debate 1.

People are sick of his shit.

I think it might be no-holds-barred, which disturbs me

Anything the SNL writing team could ever even imagine.

that is how low the bar is..

He seems highly irritated by Baldwin's impression of him. He may try to minimize what SNL can use next week. Unfortunately, he has about zero self-awareness so his attempt will leak like a sieve.

and not watching. I think that having a 3rd "debate" is pointless, he'll just spew more crapola, and she will win.

I don't have a lot of faith in the moderator to do anything. Like when he interrupts, talks over her answer, mutters rejoinders, says "wrong" into the microphone, etc.

How can they ignore such an important issue?

We haven't even heard much about immigration policy yet.

....and the Democratic Party has a platform greatly influenced by Bernie Sanders.

It's taken care of. It's all good. Our candidate is the sane one, and that's what's on display in these otherwise meaningless exercises.

That's why I was wishing the topic would come up. Not because Hillary hasn't addressed it, but because many voters haven't been exposed to it -- and might not realize that the Donald is a denialist.

might scare them off.

but hard hitting questions about why and what to do, not so much.

If Trump does not try to attack Clinton with a chair or go full on Alex Jones blubbering, pundits will call it a win for trump or at worst, a tie.

It will be hell. He'll be more vicious than ever.

I really don't think we're gleaning much from these debates because Trump basically just attacks and doesn't provide anything of substance. It feels like a waste of time, other than it reinforces that he is foolishly in over his head and revolting, and I won't be watching the spectacle. I feel sorry that Sec. Clinton has to endure this uncomfortable situation with someone ridiculously uninformed, undignified, insulting, crass, and nutty. Maybe Trump will bring up his various conspiracy theories? Who knows.

And the chance to spew whatever he wants, what do you think?

...like a child with a bad cold and no hanky, growl like a dog, lurch around like he's about to take a swing at someone, make faces, toss word salad, and generally behave like the badly spoiled child he is.

The sane candidate will stay calm and ignore him and whatever stunt he has lined up for the evening.

Anybody with any brains and honesty will be able to tell the difference. Our allies will feel reassured that we are not all troglodytes over here. The former elites of the GOP will sink further into despair. FOX news will declare him the winner.

And SNL will have us in stitches again.

It's all good. I have every confidence in Hillary at this point.

He'll just let him rant.

It'll go very much like the second debate.

to assassination of JFK

and on and on and on for an hour and a half

Sting him into blustering.

His bar is so low already but he can escalate the horror.

Let him flip around in his bouncy house mind.

fox will do the best they can to make Clinton as uncomfortable as possible.

He will mention the wall.
He doesn't know any of those women who have accused him, Hillary Clinton laughed at a rape victim (She needs to address this - she left it out there last time, and this is NOT what happened.)
Benghazi
She's in office 30 years (I count about 11?? and not the same office.)
Media rigged (I'm glad it's Fox this time, because if he accuses Fox of being rigged, the dolts who watch FoxNews will be offended.)
Media in cahoots with cabals, international bankers.
Hillary belongs in jail - he WILL say this again
May call her "crooked Hillary" to her face.
Emails, wikileaks, Donna Brazile
Pay for Play, Clinton Foundation.

There. That's about it.

Oh.

Rigged.
Rigged.
Rigged.

The end.

I foresee little change beyond further visible fraying of Trump's demeanor and vocabulary. Polls are full of terrible news, and his denials are taking al, his energy.

Is he working up the nerve to quit?

So whatever is said and done will have zero impact on the election. I have cast my ballot for Sec. Clinton so I for one won't be watching it.
