Prediction: Trump will walk out of the town hall

[Yavin4]

You read it here first!

1. Could be very interesting.

[Setsuna1972]

2. 1) He won't show up 2) He'll walk out 3)he does or says something so batshit crazy

that even the GOP bigwigs will have had enough and yank him off the stage with a cane..or maybe do like the Gong Show and beat the big ass Gong or something like that

[sarcasmo]

3. Coming to the stage, Gene, Gene, the dancing machine.

[longship]

8. Or, the Unknown Comic!!!!!

Just make damned sure that Jaye P. Morgan is on the panel.

[sarcasmo]

22. Unknown Comic was my favorite guest.

4. I hope it's

the GONG!!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. Nope.

He's completely convinced he won the first debate. He'll go into the town hall confident he's got Hillary on the ropes.

Chances are high he'll explode at some of the questions, do his usual lying about everything, but he'll stay the entire time.

Keep in mind how many people predicted he wouldn't show for the first one. He's not that kind of a quitter. I'm sure he's positive he'll win the election.

9. Trump would have been better off if he never showed up for the first debate

[Chasing Dreams]

6. I don't think Trump will walk in

He'll use the mic situation (but he was loud and clear on TV) to weasel out. At which point Hillary will call out his cowardice and cancel the third debate.

He's toast. Can you say LANDSLIDE?

[MoonRiver]

12. There's no way Hillary would cancel any of the debates!

[longship]

7. We certainly did not read it first in this thread.

The "Trump is going to bail" narrative has been going on for months. Frankly it is silly and there is no claim other than wishful thinking that it's true.

He's still running for president and from all appearances he is still going to debate Hillary Clinton. After all, he won the debate!!!! (But it was still rigged!)

The GOP is stuck with him. (Possibly thankfully.)

[MoonRiver]

13. I WANT the debates to happen.

They are comedy gold! My husband and I were laughing, fist bumping and high fiving the whole time!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. You said it best.

The "Trump is going to bail" narrative has been going on for months. Frankly it is silly and there is no claim other than wishful thinking that it's true.

[book_worm]

10. No, thiis will be his kind of people--idiots who are still undecided

he'll be there.

[Demsrule86]

11. I am not sure he will walk in actually. nt

[onenote]

14. I predict this is another in a long list of bad DU predictions about Trump

A list that includes:

Trump will drop out before the Repub convention
Trump will drop out before the first debate
Trump will refuse to do any debates
Trump will not show up for the first debate
Trump will not show up for the second debate

And so on and so forth.

Back in the real world, Trump is a ego-maniacal nut job who truly thinks he's doing a good job. I have little doubt that e'll show for the second debate and stay until its over. And that he'll show for the third debate as well.

[ScienceIsGood]

16. I agree. I said no way he would get nomination. I was wrong then. nt

[ScienceIsGood]

15. No way I think he does that. He is too arrogant to give up. nt

[greymattermom]

17. He want so show how nasty he can be

so my prediction is that they have to cut his mic when he goes all Howard Stern at the town hall. Is this show rated for all audiences or TV-14?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. If he shows up to the Town Hall, they say it will be very hard for him

to just "bring up" any Bill indiscretions. Because, it is the people who ask the questions and unlikely anyone would. It will be interesting to see how he squeezes it in. "Exactly how will you fix the economy?" Trump: "It will be FANTASTIC when I do it. It will be so much better than when Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica ! "

[Generic Brad]

19. He will be there

His entire life he has felt that whatever he desired was his birthright and delusionally believes he is the better of his betters. He's a spoiled rich prick who is finally getting his comeuppance.

He is deeply insecure and knows he is outclassed and out ranked. But there is that whole birth right thing he has going. If he can just convince us with enough bluster and he gets the validation he is desperately seeking (like the results of cherry picked on line polls) he will have the compulsion to carry on.

So sit back and enjoy the epic flop to come.

[BSdetect]

21. He will be virtually gagged

probably sedated and under strict advice to be polite

[NurseJackie]

23. Trump is to politics what Alexandra Forrest is to meaningful relationships.

[Justice]

24. Could we not use a woman for your example?

Lots of male characters in movies who are appropriate.

[NurseJackie]

25. Perhaps. But I can't think of any who are as brilliant as Glenn Close. Wasn't she awesome?! :-D

[George II]

27. I seriously doubt NurseJackie meant to slight women....

....that scene and character are very appropriate, male or female.

[Mike Daniels]

26. Unless he's deliberately throwing the election for HRC

There's no way he doesn't show up. His brand is in shambles unless he tells the GOP " your asses just got punked"

[Orsino]

28. I've been saying for more than a year that he would quit.

I keep being wrong, but he can't be enjoying his beat-down anymore.
