I hate these fucking Republicans who go on cable news, say they aren't voting for Trump because he's "dangerous", then spend the entire rest of the segment bashing Hillary Clinton. Like Bill Kristol with his shit eating grin, stop being a two faced coward and just admit you're voting for that turd.

Why do you all watch and listen to this new media crap like those young Turkish people, and then just get mad and complain about it?

All this talk of nimble centipedes and Pepe... It suddenly isn't that foreign to come up with "grand wizard" and "exalted cyclops"

I think it's the fear that this stuff is what OTHER people are watching and basing their opinions on, just like Fox News.
I don't watch either because I haven't left my bomb shelter since June, though.
BECAUSE THAT'S THE MILLENNIAL WAY.
It's trending back towards Clinton so they need time to adjust the model.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Not a surprise to me at all. These people hate Hillary Clinton--period.
I think I listened to one episode of Young Turks during the Obamacare debate, and it was all about how Democrats should kill the bill because it wasn't single payer. That was the first and last time I tuned into that garbage.
People don't watch things they actually like any more. They just hate watch media.

Debate Prep? Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Differ on That, Too
Only the NYT, but at least it's not the AP.
This is fascinating to me:
She isn't going to look to just show the contrast between their policies--she wants to provoke him into unraveling on stage in front of millions of people. That's a gamble that I'm surprised they're going to take.
It's almost as if they were reading this thread.
It's a pretty safe bet to take if we're telling the truth. He's never had to actually do this for as long a time or be challenged to the degree he's about to be. Combine that with subtle digs about his tiny, tiny hands and it's a bomb just waiting to blow. It's just a matter of how he explodes.

I wonder if she had psychologists examine footage of Trump to try and figure out the best possible way to ensure he explodes on stage.
After hearing about Cuban being in the audience, I think I get what she's trying to do. She wants him to melt down on stage, so she's trying to push the right buttons to have him do that.

I think she can pull this off. If he actually survives getting called out he has tougher skin than we all thought. She's smart enough to realize though if her attempts are failing.

This whole Palmer Luckey thing is happening at a great time since I was looking at buying a VR headset soon. Narrows my choices down.
Also, gaming side political threads are a hoot.

The contrast will probably be enough to ensure she wins, a meltdown would be gravy though. At that point it'll turn into "can Trump stop his freefall," especially if he calls her a bitch or something like that.
He practically whipped it out right there on stage, it just didn't look as bad because Cruz and Rubio were idiots and got in the mud with him.
I like that they are practicing all the types of personalities he might show up with.
I think I figured out her Mark Cuban strategy. When Hillary says something like "millionaires such as yourself" to Trump (remember: they're reading this thread, lol), Cuban is going to visibly/silently react, with a laugh or a broad smile - something to catch Trump's attention. All it takes is a moment to get into his head.

Ugh i was hoping these stories didn't come out. Now he's going to prepare himself by trying to not take the bait.

And maybe that's where the contrast fits in. My only concern with this method is that she sits back too much and doesn't appear like a strong leader, but, to be fair, most people on the right are going to say that no matter what she does.

She should say "millionaires like us" if she's talking about tax reform because I'm not sure he can resist the bait of putting himself above her.

Dude this is debate chess, it's all just FUD for the opposition.
When has Trump ever seen bait he could resist?
Oh that's good. That's really good.
Podesta if you're reading this get that in her prep.

Debates are starting to feel like a PPV event, might as well go big or go home.
Expecting at least 5 "believe me".
At least 3 "Crooked Hillary"
And 10 "Winning".
Don't disappoint, Don.

I think you're underselling all of these, I expect at least one or two "believe me"s per answer

His campaign likely already knew she was going to do this.

"alleged millionaire" gets him red in the face, but I'm not sure she'd use that one
It leads into his tax returns, which the majority of the country want to see, and most believe are hiding something.

Trump is very likely to interrupt her, far more likely than she him. And the shit thing is it probably won't raise eyebrows. Because men interrupting women is so commonplace.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. Trump probably has done zero preparation and if one of his aides tells him about her strategy, he's brush it off like "yeah yeah yeah"

It'll be a bad look. I'm pretty confident that won't play as well as it did in the primaries. First of all she has more spine than the rest of the GOP field combined, and the man/woman dynamic really is a landmine in a debate. Biden had to be careful not to step on one and Lazio famously did.

The media keeps saying the debates will have "the highest rating in history!!!". Sounds to me more like the media is trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Enthusiasm is at all-time low for both candidates. I'm sure many will be tuning in to see the spectacle but I don't know if I would assume it's going to have the highest ratings.

Which is weird since Donnie hates free trade and NAFTA, but Iowan farmers make a lot of money dumping corn onto the Mexican market.
But oh yeah they're racist and that's their number one concern nvm

I wonder if the Clinton campaign really does read these threads.
I wonder if they have a file on each of us.
Mook pls email me my file.

She's over the 60% mark as of 2hrs ago.
She was at 60.5% last night. It was updated with Marist (a +6 poll) aaaand is now 60.2%
I just find it funny because 538 has a model that can take a poll like that and claim it hurts someone's chances.
