deranged mind he is probably thinking, wow, I am the greatest, I am famous, all these people watching me.

(12,265 posts)He is already lit so it won't take much to make him explode. He is so delusional he will never drop out.
Warpy
(111,240 posts)because the reaction to his hot mike tape has managed to shake him up. He's going to be wound pretty tight, but he's going to keep it together. Hell, he might even have listened to Ailes this week and gotten some actual pointers in debate over bluster.
This is the first week it has dawned on the bastard that not everybody adores him and that he could lose.

(11,794 posts)News reports are that the decision has been made to open the debate with discussion of the tapes. It's also been reported that she won the coin toss and goes first.
My bet is she looks him directly in the eyes and righteously scold him in the name of women everywhere. It will be intelligent, measured, and brutal. Cue meltdown @ 3 minute mark.

(182,750 posts)Does she ask a question referencing his mother?
It won't take much we know that.
I get Warpy's point but the chances of him not acting like he has his whole life are really low.
I'd up the bet to include him introducing RAPE into this. Either Bill or Hillary's defense of a rapist. The Trumphumpers have been posting this everywhere for the last two days. Trump always gives his fans the greatest hits.

They don't have normal emotions (my mom is a narcissist and it has been the hardest thing to understand - she truly believes nothing is ever her fault and if people don't like her, it is not because of something SHE has done).
Narcissists also LOVE playing the victim - which Trump will do tonight.
He knows this is going to be a highly watched debate - and he LOVES it. He doesn't care WHY. What we see as revulsion he seriously sees as adoration

We're watching to see Trump make an ash of himself.

(268,904 posts)On Friday we went to a Mineral Bath - some folks were talking about Don the Con. Then we went to Port Royal mostly to see if there was any damage from Matthew - the restaurant staff and fisherfolks were talking about lunatic Trump and yesterday I went to my regular nail salon and both the technicians and clients were talking about King Con. He's all over the news here in Jamaica.

(67,102 posts)but his comments on immigrants and people with African roots hit home. Lots of Jamaicans live in the US
RKP5637
(67,102 posts)immigrants and Africans are horrible. I really seriously think he's made of the same cloth as Hitler was! I really mean it! He is a scary and dangerous individual.

(268,904 posts)He's worse than Goldwater if that is possible. I agree - the same cloth as Hitler with all the insecurities and then some.

(3,702 posts)If he was being publicly executed (ala French Revolution guillotine days) all he would care about is what the ratings would be, what the crowd attendance was and that his execution was the YUGEST ever
note: I am not calling for the execution of Trump
