Kasie Hunt describes mood on Hillary's plane

as over confident and upbeat. She said it almost feels like Airforce One in waiting. She (and Brian Williams) are saying that is a danger when Trump comes after her. I hope Hillary is more like she was during the first debate.

Clintons pretty well put that to rest saying he knew she was not going to make that mistake among some other words.

I have a hard time believing she will be anything but diligent and sober for the next 3 weeks. Trump can "come after her" all he wants, but she's a professional and far out of his league. I expect at this point with the tide pushing against him, such attacks will look more and more like desperation.

she will do just fine....I get so tired of all the crap posted about what Hillary will do, won't do, should do, should't do during the debate ....it has happened before every debate..I will be very happy to see the debate tomorrow over with just to shut every one up about Hillary's composure during a debate.

Air Force One in Waiting sounds just fine to me.

If Trump comes after her, he will self-immolate.

Turn into a polished, well informed statesman, with full command of policy details and a distinguished presidential demeanor in the last debate.

That's like my husband is thinking the Cubs might possibly come back from a 6-0 deficit in the top of the ninth with 2 outs.

Not gonna happen.

I think it's a combination of wanting to portray a horse race and their ingrained sexism rebelling against a woman getting too confident.

Hillary knows what she's doing - she's got this.

they could have been talking for months about how her agenda is different as she's a woman, different even from Obama.

But, no. They're lazy and they want to pretend there's a horse race to cover, when there isn't. They want to cover the story that' s existed for decades, even though it isn't true this time.

Hillary's campaign has been brilliant. Anyone who thinks the only reason she's doing well is because Trump is doing poorly doesn't get how it works.

I think..

Saying.. if anyone thinks trump's meltdown started on its own they'd be wrong. It was Hillary who started that it the first debate. She baited him and he fell for it.

So paraphrasing.

And, Hillary has run an exceptionally brilliant campaign. There will be volumes written on how genius it is.

stop!

Hillary is a very serious person -- and I guess she is never allowed to relax in the presence of media or their little heads explode from the cognitive dissonance of it all. Of course since she's a serious person the media already have a rock solid narrative about how stiff and secretive Hillary is.

Oy.
