Maybe the debate will provide an opportunity for Clinton to make the lead permanent.

It's not that far fetched of an idea. Campaigns are always playing the expectations game. It doesn't mean that Trump is secretly preparing for a good debate performance or anything like that.
This is the man who attacked a gold star family and called Mexican's rapists. They are absolutely not crafty.
Trump's ego will have himself declare himself the winner of the debate during the debate.

perhaps?
Rigged right?
So nates model has always been prone to bedwetting.
Shouldn't the polls plus model account for these "game changers" that amount to nothing?

I'm not saying they aren't. I'm saying that: if they are, then the Republican Party now is as well given that Trump has worse comments on record and probably a more explicitly racist policy platform; and therefore that America is in a much poorer situation than Denmark.

I didn't like the CiC forum at first, but after realizing this, I was really damn happy that it happened. Not only because we got a preview, but also because Clinton's team also got a preview.
Adjusted leader: ALL SHALL BOW DOWN BEFORE HIM
I wonder if us wondering whether or not he'll call Hillary a gendered insult comes from when he blatantly denigrated Rosie O'Donnell and just his past history really, like in that video I posted. I know it did for me. As much as I disliked Carly Fiorina his comments about her face were totally gross. I remember reading them and gasping a bit.
I still believe he'll say something sexist too.
It's the same for all debates.

His dig at Rosie O'Donnell just goes to show how fucking stupid Republican voters are
Debate mod: You've referred to women as fat pigs in the past, do you have anything to say about that?
Trump: Only Rosie O'Donnell!
Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES THAT IS HILARIOUS I TOO HATE THAT FAT LESBIAN BITCH
(Next day Trump shoots up 20 points in the polls)

Correct. That's some absurd conspiratorial nonsense to believe otherwise.
Seems like both. It's probably far closer to the truth than the Trump campaign would like, but also an attempt to just play the expectations game.

My mom thinks he'll drop a hard c on stage and just skip the bitch. Go right for the "big one"
I don't think that's in his vocabulary, though, haven't seen him tweet it or anything like that.

Read Scott Adams' blog post about it. Or don't if you just showered. But it's an interesting perspective.

I did just shower and I don't ever intend to give Scott Adams' inane ramblings the time of day. I'll still read Dilbert though.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
His team is, not Trump himself.
That's what I said. He's doing a good job at lowering expectations. It is his main hope, to exceed a low bar.

They're not crafty at all! What on earth? Conway is polished and usually has some kind of smooth answer on TV. That's literally it. What the fuck was "crafty" about their birtherism handling last week?
Well, instead of talking about Hillary's health or lack of transparency and tying all of that into the Clinton Foundation and her e-mail server we are now talking about Donald Trump being a flaming pile of racist shit again.
So, if the object was to get attention back on himself, success!
Taking a trip up to Vermont to get away from it all and do some psychedelics in the woods w/ friends before the first debate. Second I come home the popcorn's going on the burner. Can't wait!
I didn't realize "crafty" was a synonym for "just completely awful"

The RNC is also lowering expectations, they know what they're dealing with.

Avatar quote?
It's also not a given that people will bite. His entire image is that he's a strong movie CEO type that walks into a room and gets it done. "Born ready". I don't think people really buy into the "poor Donnie, he's never done this before".

The thing they should be lowering their expectations on the most is the expectations that they'll win the election.
Like probably to 0 just to be sure.

I liked StoOgE's comparison of Hillary to Batman. I like that that metaphor will probably last with me, personally, until the end of her presidency.
But most of all, I like that it implies Tim Kaine is Robin, Boy Wonder.

Obviously they're lowering expectations because they have to, but this is a campaign where everything has leaked (less so, admittedly, since Kellyanne). I'm pretty sure we'd know if he was doing traditional debate prep.
I'm going to keep my expectations low for the debate. I know everyone's expecting fireworks but I'm thinking Trump might just be low key and the press will praise him for being a different Trump than they expected and even looking presidential. I had a terrible dream a while back that he came off knowledgeable while Hillary was visibly rattled. I hope I'm wrong and the wheels come off and primary Trump comes out and starts name calling and bragging about his dick size again.

Zuckerberg should probably be more careful not to employ more wildly racist and misogynistic Trump backers.
It's kind of a bad look and it's getting close to "why do all these homosexuals..."

R's appear to be down. Though independents are up, which could just be 2012 R's that don't want to call themselves R's any longer.

could also be young(er) voters who just don't want to affiliate themselves with a party, looking at the age numbers
They are ready asking Reddit how to delete emails. Why wouldn't they be posting here?

Also young people are lazy in returning their ballots. We are trash.
