Hillary, Beware Of Trump's Secret Plan Tonight

I have this gut feeling that Trump is going to try and create a moment between Hillary and the mother of the slain soldier in Benghazi.

I suspect she is going to receive a question about Benghazi. And after she gives her answer, Trump is going to use that mother as a prop, and tell Hillary to address her directly.

Of course, this isn't a Townhall debate, and such a move would not be allowed. However, Donald Trump does not follow rules. I am very skeptical as to why he is bringing these guests. This is Trump's last chance to try and discredit Hillary. I think he wants something bombastic for his supporters.

Maybe I'm over worried. I know Hillary will be great. But I am anxious for this all to be over with.

He is backed up in the corner now, because he is losing so badly. So whatever plans he had in the last debate that he did not execute, I feel like he most certainly will tonight.

and the HOT #1 hit right now is the O'Keef video. This is THE ONE!!! He has to work it in and most people watching won't know much of what he is talking about.

would we really expect any different from him? I really wouldn't mind if Hillary gave him a litter verbal lashing. A sarcastic one liner to point out the hypocrisy here and there. They go low we go high...but on the way up she needs to jab him. FUCK THIS.

His entire campaign is amateurish and foolish. They telegraph all of their moves in advance.

In constrast, Hillary Clinton is a superior intellect who has worked diligently and indefatigably for decades in preparation of this moment in US history. She's studied, listened, examined and helped so many issues and people. She's ready. She's got this.

Besides, Donald Trump is an idiot. He'll blow any opportunity just as he does in his business.

That is why I don't think it will be that.

It's also a loser for him. Not only will she come of as compassionate, every person in this country will know how many investigations there have been by the end of the day tomorrow. It's frightening how many people aren't aware of that.

I do think it's going to be something. I don't think it will be that for which she is most prepared.
