Trump could win the debate simply by bluffing
NY Post ^ | Sept 24, 2016 | Kyle Smith

Hillary Clinton is going to be armed with facts, logic and policy chops at tomorrow night’s debate.

It’ll be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Unless Donald Trump has been hitting the briefing books and spending his evenings perusing back issues of National Affairs and The Economist — hey, the man has surprised us before! — it seems unlikely that he will have as many facts and details at his command as Clinton. And it doesn’t matter. Nobody comes out of a debate saying, “Wow, Senator Blutarsky had an impressively detailed answer on how to save 11 percent at the Department of Housing and Urban Development!”

Debates are about style, comportment, authority, the occasional zinger and the dreaded gaffe.

Clinton has a long history of responding with anger to any criticism.

She ALWAYS sounds angry. Like a bitchy relative. As soon as she opens her mouth, Trump wins.

I expect there will be a great deal of goading from both sides.

> he is the only one who has ever managed anything successfully.

How true. I have yet to see an “accomplishment” in any list of Hillary’s “experience”.

He’s being placed to play dirty... the people have a right to see democrat dirty tricks in action.

Liberals talk the sweet talk but they’re a bunch of thugs and bullies. It’s time for the American people to see them in action.

Well Lestor Hillary here has for decades threatened, abused and intimidated woman from London to Little Rock to Washington and beyond whom her husband, he is your husband, has sexually abused. Maybe we should ask Juanita Broaddrick who is here tonight to come here and explain the abuse Hillary put her through. Please step up Ms. Broderick

Trump: I find it interesting that clinton can remember all these facts and figures of the top of her head, yet when interviewed by the FBI or Congress, she can’t recall anything?

I don't know about debates, but in poker when you get caught bluffing you lose.

Trump has already won. Many forget that every time she opens her mouth, her poll numbers go down. No amount of the MSM fawning over her that we all expect is going to help with that. The more people see her, the less they like her.

snip-

“Factual command could even hurt Hillary, if she starts to sound like a lawyer-bureaucrat-weasel...”

Outside of a really bad fake Southern accent, that’s the only tone she has.

Thanks. Recently came across the following Tocqueville quotation which may be appropriate here:

“Despotism alone can provide that atmosphere of secrecy which favors crooked dealing and enables the freebooters of finance to make illicit fortunes.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the French Revolution

Perhaps a gauge of how far the American Republic has come from its basis in liberty.

Juanita doesn’t have a big TV following either... but her presence would unfairly throw off Hillary.

Well, ‘unfairly’ IF Mark Cuban wasn’t in the front row being an assh*le.

Hillary, when asked of her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state:

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I’m glad you asked. My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know. The remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

Note that Snopes says this is false, but they are quite vague, saying “it is doubtful she said this.”

Hillary will soundly beat Trump in style, comportment, authority, and the occasional zinger. Trump will commit the dreaded gaffe.

Watch CNN afterwards and tell me I didn’t nail it.

Apparently you don’t understand how this works. Her poll numbers will go up after the debate. (said is the most cynical tone)

Donald has been prepping for this for the last 30 years I do believe people are going to be quite surprised as Trump will reveal a new side, a new feature of his personality, I think you will see a pivot to the listener, serious board room Donald.

The man is a real magician and incredibly quick on his feet. Also he has lots of recent debate experience, experience winning them. Further he loves, absolutely loves being on TV and the focal point of the biggest broadcast in American TV history! Holy cow!

Are you kidding me, Donald Trump is in 7th heaven. His year long plan is going exactly to plan Hillary is sick and imploding and almost everyone in the country is going to be listen to him.

He is going to be having the time of his life - Hillary not so much.

The other fact is this Hillary doesn't have the IQ they attribute to her its much lower. With Donald I think its become apparent he is playing chess to their checkers.

Hillary's problems are are self-inflicted wounds acquired on a scorched earth do whatever it takes mission to get power.

She is a corrupt mean naughty bitchy mafioso and everyone knows it - I predict these debates end her.

Trump will be loose and funny, smiling. Hillary will be tense and defensive and shaky.

Cuban, as an agent provocateur is highly overrated, IMO.
