At this point, I wonder how many folks will just wait until SNL to get the recap.

From my understanding, this did not go particularly well.

He blew through the “2 minute rule” anyway, and didn’t even bother answering a number of the softball questions that were pre screened.

But quite obviously his campaign is worried. Trump hasn’t really done a town hall debate, and his propensity to talk about himself instead of connecting with the questioner was on display. And that’s going to be a big problem on Sunday.

Even his childhood story, a question that was put in the mix to attempt to make him seem semi human, is horrible. Because it comes directly from his book, and it wasn’t he played with blocks at the feet of his father, it was that he stole all his brother’s blocks and then glued them all together so he couldn’t have them back. And in the book he brags about how awesome that made him.

Yeah, why would you want to practice for one of the most important events to become President that’s watched by 80 million people? You did so good the first time.

Yes, we think that Clinton is preparing for the debate – and will again bury you.

This is so like watching the class valedictorian go up against the popular-but-inept, showboating sports star who has delusions of playing pro but won’t even make the college team, much less get that scholarship he mistakenly believes he deserves.

Folks, the Dunning-Krueger effect is in play.

Finally some good news about Putin’s patootie. He can’t handle a pretend debate. Hillary will win bigly Sunday.

The mental illness and the immaturity compete with each other, keep topping each other, in an effort to be the most astonishing. This 70-year-old has never learned that life presents challenges, and to surmount them takes work. Parents and teachers strive to help children understand that, and by age 8 or 9 or shortly thereafter the ones who are ever going to amount to anything have generally hoisted it aboard. All you can do is shake your head in amazement.

Hardest question at the ‘invitation only’ ~snicker!~ townhall for YamMan: “Mr. Trump ~bows!~ If you are elected President of the United States, as you should be, will you be a great president?”

Wait until he’s ‘among the people’ in a small venue and asked to field real questions. It’s difficult to predict if he will bluster, repeat his bumper sticker bullshit, and fade…or whether he will allow the setting and his opponent to get under his bible-leaf-thin skin and explode in insults and cringe worthy interruptions and invective. No amount of ‘prep’ is going to prepare him and he doesn’t work well in small group settings.

It promises to be Big Fun! Stock up!

Ever been to a town hall meeting? Cranky old Yankees refusing the volunteer firemen’s request for new boots. This was not a townhall-style meeting.

The terms change over the years–sociopath, malignant narcissist, what have you–but the disorder is the same. They take from and injure others.

“Mr Trump. You don’t have combat experience”

             --Adolf Hitler--

There are many people who have associated Trump with Adolf Hitler, the most evil human earth has produced. In one respect–courage–Hitler beats out Trump hands down. Hilter, in WWI combat, was in regiments which were nearly wiped out. He, himself, was nearly killed a number of times and, when the War ended, was in hospital.

Trump is a Trust Fund brat who never was in a fair fight and who has learned how to conceal his mental illness using social institutions (like stupid reporters and their money-grubbin’ bosses).

Oh…and by the way…can people STOP referring to Trump as a “mogul”? Real Estate Fraud is much more accurate.

Major problem for you, Donnie.

HRC doesn’t do “soft balls”, while you have an unusual ability to mishandle them.

I’m beginning to think that isolation booths at the debates was someone’s excellent suggestion. I can’t imagine what it is/was like for career politicians to have to share a stage and listen to this buffosn’s ramblings and self aggrandizement.

Bizzaro performance. If he wasn’t practicing he sure as hell looks like he needs to; if he was he’s got big trouble on Sunday. The one question that struck me was from the guy who said he had just graduated with honors with a degree in chemistry but couldn’t find a job and wanted to know what DT’s policies were to get job.DT answers “great question , anybody notice its hot in here” and goes on for almost a full minute ragging about how the media covered him in another hot venue. When he finally gets to the answer to the question he talks about bringing manufacturing jobs back from overseas. I mean WTF, the guy has an honors degree in chemistry; why would he want to work for Apple making computer circuitry? I mean talk about disconnected.
