Wondering if there will be a planned outburst tonight, like Pat Smith standing up and calling Hillary a liar, etc. I hope she's prepared for the worst because that would be ugly.
I also hope Hillary plans on bringing up all of Trump's biz failures and scams because people still actually think he's a great biz man. A 30 second laundry list, one name after another of failed T businesses and the real people who lost their money.
And point out he'd be richer if he just left daddy's money alone and never did anything with it. That would completely unhinge him.

(49,387 posts)she should take care that her own credibility doesn't come into question. That said, Smith will likely get a post debate interview w/Fox News in an attempt to reel in a few low information voters.

(11,738 posts)Some people are so lost in their pain and suffering that they become vulnerable to being used. Possibly, one day when Smith has come to terms with the loss and has had time to work through it, she will realize that Trump was using her as a prop.

(2,495 posts)but to me she is way beyond the point where it is credible to think she is doing this just because her son was lost. She's gladly made herself and her son a political prop for her own partisan reasons.

(11,631 posts)Adding Obama's half brother just seems to kind of detract from that by making the whole thing look even more like a circus. It smells of desperation and I fail to see how it reflects on HRC whatsoever.

(22,340 posts)so I'm kind of expecting it. The 40% that can't stop fondling Trump will call him a genius. The rest of the world with a brain will see it as horrible.
The best this is that in 2 and 4 years we will get to see Republicans running for re-election and the Presidency telling us how much the didn't like Trump and fought against him. It will be a wonderous bout of revisionist history.

(41,963 posts)Honestly, part of Trump's hubris is his belief that he's the toughest thing she's ever faced. Dream on, Orange Boy.

(15,805 posts)I pity the woman, she is still grieving over the loss of her only child, and Trump is exploiting her instability in the hope that she will go off again and make another provocative, emotional outburst on live TV. Trump lives for that kind of cheap spectacle, just like when he exploited Broaddrick & Co. for the last debate. A man like Trump, who would take advantage of this poor woman who is clearly emotionally compromised, must never get anywhere the Oval Office.

(34,845 posts)I don't know about Trump's guests, but this is the last time Trump gets to show how tough a he-man he is with a national audience before the election so I wonder if he can stop himself from doing something both desperate and stupid.
