It’s possible her mouthpieces know she’s too fragile and it will likely show.

If that’s the case, their next best plan is set Trump up for being “a mean bully” to her, and causing her to breakdown.

As they are rolling the credits at the end of the debate, the first headline will be:

Oh, the humanity!

"This Monday night may be when Hillary goes down in flames before the cameras even harder than Nixon ever did. At least Nixon was a competent debater and stood on his own ideas and beliefs. What does Hillary have in that regard?"

Sympathetic debate moderators.

“Trump should make mention of it if she gets uppity “

-

No he shouldn’t-——it’s very petty and would look bad.

The deck is so stacked against Trump. She’s undoubtedly been given the questions, has had weeks to prepare the answers.

No step-stools!
No earpieces!

If the beast breaks down physically, what should The Donald say? What about: “Is there a doctor in the house?”

Rush posed a similar question to his listeners today, asking if Donald Trump should go over to her and offer assistance if she suffers some type of medical episode during the debate. In my opinion, he should not approach her unless if is obvious she is about to collapse in the same manner as she did at the 9/11 ceremony. He should prop her up, then get out of the way as soon as the Secret Service or medical personnel come on stage and get her (which will happen within seconds.) If she suffers a coughing spell, Trump should turn to the moderator and politely suggest that Hillary be given a minute or two to compose herself. There is no downside in Trump doing this, and millions watching at home will see exactly what's going on. It will be virtually impossible for Hillary's team to spin this in a way that puts Donald Trump in a bad light (although I'm sure they'll try.)

I think they actually said no COFFIN breaks... that shouldn’t be a problem for Hillary since it’s at night.
Not likely to last until dawn.

In case of the Hill’s breakdown, he’d really have to hustle to beat the Secret Service to her.

Factor in Trump’s an alpha male, things are even more difficult for the Hildebeast. Old, sick, and wrong on every issue. Hopefully after the debate, we can put a fork in her and call her campaign over and done.
