Debate Hillary’s to lose? Which Trump will show up?
Maybe, in the upcoming nationally televised debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, he will say something that infuriates her, causing her to crazily spout a sentence backwards, put her thumb on her nose, wiggle her fingers and then spit on his golden hair.
Short of all that, the victory ought to be hers Monday night, and we all know who is most likely to do something foolish.
That’s Trump, the guy who once indulged in genital braggadocio in a primary debate. On top of that, she is knowledgeable about affairs of state and he’s not. He once said, for instance, that he learns about military issues from experts on television. Clinton is articulate. Without a teleprompter, Trump’s words can get lost in a maze.
Of course, it’s not trained judges who determine winners and losers by looking at logic accompanied by evidence with eloquence thrown in.
Instead, it’s the people out there. Some may do their testing by tracking which candidate’s views coincide with their own. Perhaps, with hand on chin, others will be engaged in poppsychology analysis. There will be those who look at Clinton and see an avalanche of ruinous leftism headed our way, and others who will look at Trump and see an earthquake of stupidities.
Whatever, the usual Trump will likely have to do a disappearing act for the candidate to have a chance. What worked in the primary debates won’t work this time out.
For one thing, it will be a oneon-one match, meaning Trump can’t just shut up and look the other direction when he is ignorant about a subject. If he tries to bully Clinton the way he bullied Jeb Bush, as one example, he will look like the sexist from hell.
