It's going to be interesting.

I have popcorn and beer ready.

I predict that Hillary will prevail in the debate according to most media sources, including Fox News. I believe that Trump will fall flat, and be unable to hit home runs due to his own inexperience and the moderator's questioning being designed to either tie him up or poke him with a stick.

I just don't think Trump has the ability to keep from saying something that will be used against him (whether justifiably or unjustifiably). I suspect the Clinton camp has been working night and day to torpedo him tonight, and it will be a miracle if he can avoid all traps. I'm not suggesting, by virtue of the word trap, to imply the traps are unfair. Trump will be planning traps too, but I don't think his team is as skilled.

I suspect I will be cringing and talking to the TV asking "why don't you just say X!?!"

Debate expected to draw 100,000,000 viewers -- http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/busin ... .html?_r=0 I think that's American viewers. i bet a lot of non-Americans are watching this time around.

That should far outstrip the 1980 debate between Reagan and Carter.

Hillary Clinton gets customized podium to mislead the audience as to her true height. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... nyahu.html

Well, he's been accused of rape, but I haven't seen it being proved. There are a number of women who accused Bill Cllinton of rape and other sexual assault issues and they were not taken at face value.

Note, in your article, where he "reportedly" caused a charitable foundation to donate money as part of a settlement of a dispute, there is not suggestion in the article that this was illegal. Recall your attention to Hillary's issues, wherein you set the standard at what would or should land her behind bars in an orange jumpsuit.

The strongest language used by the guy quoted in the article is "...Trump ran his charity in a way that may have violated U.S. tax law and gone against the moral conventions of philanthropy." So, "may have" violated also implies "may not have" violated. Why has the IRS not taken action? He gets audited quite a bit. What's been the result? And, with regard to "moral conventions of philanthropy", I would need to know what conventions they are and what's the source.

There is similar reporting on the foreign contributions of the Clinton Foundation, FBI and IRS investigations of the foundation, bribery allegations, etc. We shouldn't, of course, take those allegations at face value either, should we?

Well, Hillary Clinton ran her campaigns and foundations like a crook, and operated as Secretary of State with an illegal server in her basement and deleted thousands of work-related emails, and has repeatedly lied about why she had the server, what was on it, what she sent and received, what she turned over and what she deleted. She lied like a rug in Bosnia. She lied about Benghazi. She threatened women who accused her husband of rape and sexual assault.

"All the casino mess..." lol.

Hillary has arrived in her special needs armoured minivan. Why the hell is she getting around in that thing? Wasn't carried out of the car nor was she wearing weird glasses.

Hillary is wearing a red jump suit. She looks like she's just come straight from Guantanamo. Ooops, there was a head bob there. Some might call it a nod, but we know better.
