Nor has Trump been.
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: “We came, we saw, he died!”
We know Trump is going to be angry, possibly seething. I vote that at some point he simply removes his mic and walks out.
Openly proclaim if he loses it is because the election was fraudulent and call on his supporters to engage in second amendment remedies if Trump doesn’t win the election.
Hey, you! Get outta my head! :mad:
Boy, that would be a battle royale of expert fighters. And if it’s pistols and not fists the bystanders should be safe from misses.
He’s been broadcasting that he’s going to try and drag in the Monica thing, and try and connect Hillary to her husbands misbehavior, for weeks, and now with his own sexual behavior in the news, I’d say there’s an almost 100% chance he goes there. It’d be more shocking if he didn’t do it at this point.
Of course, the fact Hillary has been dealing with public discussion of her husbands sex life for decades, doubtless already had a response for this stuff ready to go at the first debate and certainly will now that Trump has all but announced what he’s going to say makes this pretty unlikely to get much success as a tactic for throwing Hillary off her guard.
I think Mernith had the best answer. Trump spending part of the debate ripping into the GOP would really be shocking, and yet also seems increasingly plausible, given the number of Republicans who’ve called for him to step down and Trump’s inability to let that stuff go and his indifference to the GOP as an institution.
I saw someone note that Trump’s whole case for handling our country’s military policy is basically – well, (a) he’s smarter than the Generals in general, as it were; but (b) he can’t really go into detail, because the one tactical insight he’ll pontificate on at length is, hey, don’t make clear to your opponent what you’re going to do.
Because, see, he has a secret plan to defeat ISIS – but you’ll have to take his word for it, because it’d be idiotic to announce your plans ahead of time; because, and I’m quoting, here, “the element of surprise is sooooo important.”
And he’s apparently decided the smart move is – telegraphing the hell out of this?
Narcissistic projection. Everything in Donald he does not want to see in himself, he will project on Hillary. He thinks of himself as a good guy, so in the beginning he will try to pin his own failings on her with gloves on. But as she refuses to acept his image of the world, his attempts to pin his faults on her and the people around her will become more and more agressive.
There may be shouting.
He’ll make a major gaffe on purpose in an attempt to draw attention away from the video. But knowing Trump, that gaffe will probably just make things worse.
Someone might ask him, for example, “What would you say to those who claim you’re bluffing about building the border wall?”
To which he’ll respond, “I’m not bluffing, I will erect that wall. It will be a yuuggge, beautiful erection, the biggest erection you’ve ever seen.”
Knowing Trump, when his “grabbed her by the pussy” comment is brought up, he’ll probably try and defend himself by talking up his sexual prowess and trying to imply that all of these women wanted him to grab them by the pussy, rather than the slightly more likely possibility that they put up with it because he could ruin their careers with a few words to the right people. And he probably honestly believes they wanted it as well, which is why he looked so pissed off at being forced to apologise.
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 give 10:1 odds that if Clinton succeeds in baiting Trump enough he’ll call her a cunt to her face. Or at the very least make a disparaging comment that refers directly to her female anatomy.
That was my dream this morning. Let him say that on an open mic and the Republican Party will crash like a paralyzed peregrine. There won’t be enough disavowals in the world to make up for that.
When he realizes he’s losing I’d love to see him have a final meltdown where he goes on a rambling diatribe about how the GOP didn’t support him, how everyone abandoned him in his time of need, and how the Jew run media never gave him a fair shot and was in the tank for Hillary the whole time and now Muslims are gonna blow up your family, behead Lady Liberty and play soccer with her head. “The Donald doesn’t get fired, the Donald QUITS!” Then he stomps off the set.
Become physically incapable of finishing the debate through general weakness, exhaustion, or (lower probability) a health event of some sort.
Anyone want to take odds on him attempting to grab Clinton’s crotch?
More likely he will make a point of saying that she is not pussy-grab-worthy.
Bwah! (Audible snort.)
