The presidential debates are only weeks away…..and could this be the final straw for Trump?
I mean he got away with the name calling and the theatrics during the GOP primaries….but I do not think it will fly when the voter is looking for a candidate to put their vote with…..
When Trump goes face to face with Clinton, that should drive the final nails into his political coffin.
It’s perhaps the most highly anticipated presidential match-up in the history of televised debates, and Donald Trump has chosen not to engage in the usual process of holding mock debates or studying briefing books. In other words, Trump isn’t prepping to debate Hillary Clinton, with the exception of having lunch with his closest advisers and radio talker Laura Ingraham to discuss the process. The Republican candidate who has somehow managed to bullshit his way through 15 months of campaigning in the same way a slacker in grade-school bullshits his way through an oral exam has chosen to stick with the same debate strategy that served him well during the primaries. That should invite significant peril when Trump finally encounters a one-on-one debate setting with Clinton next month.

Hopefully Trump will put the theatrics and the name calling in the crapper and answer the questions with real ideas and not his usual platitudes….
But I am not holding my breath….are you?
But if he wants to do a little theatrics…..I have a great idea and he would be the talk of the town……
A fake story from a bizarre clickbait/conspiracy site staged as a local news outlet, the Santa Monica Observer, ran a headline that went viral: “Donald Trump Will Not Debate Hillary, if Gary Johnson not Allowed to Participate.” It sounds crazy, but it actually could be a superb idea for Donald Trump.
The reasoning is simple. Both Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein take away more votes from Hillary Clinton than from Trump (in most polls). The RealClearPolitics average shows Clinton leading by 4 percent head-to-head, but only leading by 3 percent in a four-way race. The latest Fox News poll shows Clinton winning by 6 percent head-to-head, but Clinton wins just by 2 percent in a four-way race.

I am more inclined to believe something I have been saying for a couple of years now: “I think Donald Trump will “Win” the election but Hillary will be President.” Do not ask me how this will happen but I am sure the bought and sold SCOTUS or the electoral college or the rigged voting machines and screwed up ballot counts will have a lot to do with it.” Also if there are debates and if they are televised I am pretty certain the cameras will switch to commercial or malfunction in some manner whenever Mr. Trump makes a point that might resonate with the viewers.
I will be watching tonite…..I want to finally hear some solutions other than platitudes…
The debate will be all about Hillary. Count on that!
Well… It seems, with some distance, even slight, this whole reality(?) show is almost entertaining… I guess I find it sad it all sounds so true, and so dismal…or, perhaps, venal would be closer to correct.
