    2016 Presidential Debates

    The conventions are over, the ad campaigns will rage, but it all comes down to the debates.

    Will Trump be able to stay on message during the debate?
    Will Hillary be able to stand on her own without Obama, Bill and Biden to speak for her?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Has already been a circus for some time.
      Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

        And no need to send in the clowns since they already occupy center stage.

          Whether you agree with Hillary on the issues or not, she has a depth of understanding on them that towers over that of Trumps which spells utter defeat for him in the debates. Trump can't really discuss the issues or detail his solutions to them because he has no grasp of them. What Trump will do in the debates is what he has done throughout his primary campaign which is to merely demean his opponents character. Thats his forte, thats all he knows.

            They will both have speech writers and handlers. Trump stands a better chance of going off script, but that's honestly why he is so popular.

              Trump has proven very capable on the debate stage. Hillary really hasn't been tested yet (her creampuff debates against Crazy Bernie don't count). The only real question is whether Trump will stay "on script" and only discuss what the moderators want him to discuss or if he'll go rogue and hit Hillary where she's weakest even if the moderators are careful to avoid such matters (and they will be).

                Hillary can claim to have a depth of understanding, but her record of failures say otherwise.

                  On a related note, the Democrats are apparently already trying to schedule debates against big primetime tickets like NFL games. This is the same strategy Hillary used during the primary to ensure low viewership. It seems the Democrats are desperate to keep Hillary out of the spotlight.

                      If true then this reveals a deep concern about how Hillary will do in any debates.

                        Yeah, but consider the source. I think its the Trump campaign that would love a small audience in this case. Its true that the DNC manipulated the debate schedule in the primaries to favor Hillary, that was so obvious it was pathetic. But the RNC has as much say as the DNC has when it comes to the general election debate schedule. MM doesn't think, he believes anything coming out of Brietbart.

                          Yes, this is why she LOVES actual news conferences.

                          Oh, wait... she only does town hall meetings with controlled audiences and questions.

                            That's just batpoop crazy --- Trump LOVES big audiences, and loves "mixing it up".

                            Its true that the DNC manipulated the debate schedule in the primaries to favor Hillary,
                            It's what liberals do!

                            Both parties have to agree - Trump can't just name a date and expect Hill to show up.

                              Then why did the Dems have to RIG everything for her to beat a 70 year old socialist?

                              And, let's see... Trump was given a snowball's chance in 'the other place' on a stage with 16 other candidates, the system was against him, and he ..... yeah, he's the nominee today!

                              Wake up, Jim - Hillary and liberals only win when they can rig things in their favor.
