I vote these two in combo.
I vote he walks out, but forgets to remove his mic, and we are treated to an epic backstage rant against women, the media, the GOP, and any number of other targets.
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.
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, that’s what it’s about.
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.
Oh, please, oh, please, oh please please please!
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 :).
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.
I’m anxiously awaiting a public C-bomb. Grabgate was close. Tonight, I’d settle for a nice contemptuous, “Bullshit!” from him.
I’d settle for him being addressed as Greg Stillson.
I’d be okay with this “hot mike” incident.
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.
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.

Bonus Points if he sings Rock you like a hurricane…

And sure enough, she was there at Trump’s pre-debate presser, along with Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey.
Trump looked exhausted at that press conference. It was pretty… underwhelming… and it doesn’t bode well for his performance.
I could see him verbally attack one of the questioners who asked him a question he didn’t like.
Called it. Time to go buy a lotto ticket.
