How long before Donnie implodes and goes off-script?

We know he's seething going into the debate so it won't take much to boil him over. I think it was 30 minutes before he started with the "wrong", "not true" but that'll be mild compared with tonight.

In addition, since it's a Town Hall, do you think he'll try to intimidate her by invading her "personal space"? Not good Donnie.

I'm saying 10 minutes.

Plans.

If Trump wants to talk about Bill "raping" women then he needs to explain his "raping" of women. If he wants to talk about Hillary "abusing" women, then he needs to explain his abuse and recent abuse.

I have a feeling he will spend most of his time trying to humiliate Hillary and/or Bill.

He's out for vengeance, now.

if he lasts that long. Trump simply cannot help himself. He has no concept of looking bad when it comes to himself. In his mind, he is exempt from the rules; he's even said so.
