That would be great, but that's not going to happen.

All Hillary has to do is wait for Trump to self destruct. He's been doing that all through the campaign. He has had a quiet last few weeks, but that's not going to last once Trump and Hillary start going at each other. I see Trump having a hard time reaching out beyond his non-educated white male voter base.

Nothing could be more true. He is preparing his third grade insults as we speak.

I would hope not. I thought it was totally juvenile and I'm a Trump supporter.

At the same time though... I think he knows that.

I'm looking forward to the debates. We are just now starting to see the effects of the email scandal... Trump has the firepower... he just has to use it.

Hillary is as corrupt as they get... if she gets elected it won't be with my vote.
No, those town halls with Bernie where folks thought Hillary did an excellent job. Obviously you weren't paying attention.

Trump does have firepower - but he lacks the political brainpower to use it well.

Hillary was NEVER going to have your vote and the debates won't change that.

IF he had any form of self-discipline ~ he would and could. But, sadly, he doesn't and I'm afraid we're destined to watch him flail about with words like poopyhead while she bombards him with facts and big words that he probably won't be able to decipher .

She's far better than either of those two.

Are you now a Trump supporter? Maybe I'm getting you confused with another poster.

I really hate that term - non-educated. As if all Trump supporters never went to school at all. I've seen what happens to the minds of the "educated" kids in college, and it doesn't seem like they have any common sense. Now they need trigger warnings and safe spaces, and some actually needed counseling when someone wrote in chalk "Trump 2016."

You can be against HRC and not support Trump. There's a large block of this voter.

I hope it turns into a cage match.

Nothing like two politicians telling the truth about each other in front of millions on live TV. Should be a singularly unique moment in our history.

I'm sure Trump losing his cool with a moderator will gain him a few more points in the acting presidential column.

And I thought McCain was going to wipe the floor with Obama in the 08 debates. Still can't believe how wrong I was on that one.

I hope Gwen Ifill from PBS is a moderator again. She was good!
