Trump Not Prepping For Debates, Will Just Be Himself - Clinton Campaign OK With That

Trump Not Prepping For Debates, Will Just Be Himself. Clinton Campaign OK With That
Studying is for nerds.

Donald Trump is going to be incredibly ready for his debates with Hillary Clinton, although he hasn't started preparing for them yet. September is FOREVER away.

Donald Trump is not worried about debating Hillary Clinton this fall, not the least little bit, because he's great at debating. Didn't you see him cream all those stiffs in the primaries? In fact, he hasn't even started preparing for debates, because debate prep would be work might make him all stiff and un-Trumpy. But he'll be right on top of all the facts when he needs to be, he told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview Thursday. Or at least all the fact-like statements that he's ever used in a debate.

Trump will be meeting Clinton for the first of three debates on September 26, which is plenty of time to prepare, he told Hewitt. Hewitt asked Trump if he was in "full practice mode" with mock debates yet, and Trump reassured him that, no matter what the other guys do, he's decided to Let Trump Be Trump:

I have not. No, I have not. And I must tell you, I think you and I have a little different mode. I watched (Mitt) Romney went into a log cabin or something and he came out and he wouldn't talk to anybody for weeks, you know, and all of that, and then he got to the debate and he wasn't able to speak so well. I've seen that, and to a certain extent, you have to be yourself. I do know the issues, I actually know the issues much better than people understand that I know the issues. But I want to, obviously I will be practicing. But I don't want to put so much practice in that all of a sudden you're not who you are. Does that make sense to you?


Heavens, we certainly wouldn't want to see Trump be anything less than Full Trump in the debates. For one thing, we'll have all that popcorn handy.

Mr. Trump said, "I do know the issues, I actually know the issues much better than people understand that I know the issues. But I want to, obviously I will be practicing. But I don't want to put so much practice in that all of a sudden you're not who you are. Does that make sense to you?"

Does that make sense to you?!

Sorry, Mr. Trump. You don't make sense to anybody.

First thing he does is insult Hillary, and she just gives him an icy stare. Then he bullshits about the "issues" he understands so well, and she quietly corrects him. Just let him hang himself better than he has before.

Maybe it won't work, but the truth is that if we let Trump get this far, we deserve the worst.

But, anyway, powerful forces are working to Dump Trump and we may yet get Romney on stage with Hillary. Stranger things have happened.

either trump or romney. She'll throw that 47% line at romney and make him eat it for lunch. And for trump, she'll just let him hang himself.
