Three steps away, approaching him, she raises her arm to shake his hand. Like usual. ---

About 40 years ago, a 12 year old was raped in Arkansas, and Hillary drew the short straw for being the rapist’s public defender. Lately the wingnuts have been trying to show that Hillary was eeeeeviiiiilll to defend this guy, and that she did various eeeeviiiil things in the process of defending him, and afterwards. So if Trump mentions [Kathy Shelton](http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/), that’s what it’s about. ---

> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > Sure fantasize about the state’s henchmen subduing the leader of the opposition. You could also fantasize about them taking him back to their lair, and tying him up surrounded by a pool of sharks with lasers on their heads. The camera will quickly zoom in for Clinton’s evil [catchphrase](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgcd1ghag5Y): “We came, we saw, he died!” Nah, if Trump dies they can replace him. Probably be the best scenario for the Republicans at this point. And, btw, you may not be able to stand to follow the news now, but Trump is in no way the leader of anything any more, since even RNC staffers don’t have to work for him. And the opposition is heading out the doors. ---

I’ll go with him walking out as the most likely thing, but he might say that the same person with a time machine who planted the Obama birth notice also planted the tape. ---

Pfft! You guys are so apocalyptic. They’re going to blow your minds - it will be a genteel and polite discussion with tea and cucumber sandwhiches. Important policy issues will be politely and respectfully discussed in calm, moderate tones. And at the end it will all be genial smiles, agree-to-disagree and warm hugs all around. No, I am not taking bets :). ---

> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > In all seriousness, I’ve been wondering whether she’ll go in for the traditional half-hug to start the debate or simply refuse to let him touch her. I was wondering this as well. Last time they were adversaries, but greeted each other warmly. I wonder how she’ll handle it this time. If I were her, after they shake hands and retreat to their podiums, I would take out a bottle of hand sanitizer, place it in view of the cameras, pump a large dollop of the stuff into her hands and rub furiously. I hope he goes as low as this thread implies, but I hope she stays on the high road. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > [Moshe Katsav.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe_Katsav) Although, to be fair, he wasn’t directly elected by the public. Also the President of Israel is a ceremonial figurehead; not the political leader of the country. Although you guys did briefly experiment with having a directly elected Prime Minister. > [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > Is this debate broadcast on a delay? I wouldn’t be surprised if, for the first time in the history of broadcast debates, a candidate will need to be bleeped. And I don’t mean Hillary. I don’t think anything will be bleeped. I saw both censored & uncensored version of Access Hollywood video on CNN & MSNBC. On SNL Baldwin-as-Trump even used his actual words. ---

Trump looked exhausted at that press conference. It was pretty… underwhelming… and it doesn’t bode well for his performance. ---
