2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am thinking that there is no longer any reason to continue these debates. When the spouses were
supposed to shake hands before the debate, Rudy Giuliani was supposed to escort Bill Clinton's accusers to great Bill Clinton
Fortunately, a few minutes before that was supposed to happen the debate organizers stopped it in its tracks
There is no need for anymore debates
These are not debates anyway

(7,575 posts)One of the candidates does not have any intention of making a serious effort to convince people of his convictions as President. He is just creating a circus around himself. Very difficult to watch.

(16,672 posts)If someone did that to me I'd never be within a mile of them. But then I'm not an attention whoring opportunist either.

(24,162 posts)The man, his twisted cronies and his deluded supporters are downright dangerous, and it is clear he is not capable of an actual debate. Maybe they could be in separate places answering the same questions, without ANY reference to the opposite party or candidate -- just "What are your thoughts about," "How would you handle," "When would you consider" etc...
If he even says the word "SHE," he gets a mild electric shock.

(2,056 posts)Then he will go after Bill and it will give her an opening to mention Harth and the 13 year old that has accused him of rape.
That will force the news outlets to cover it.

(5,065 posts)Trump has made a mockery of the whole election process. The debates never got beyond his schoolboy playground antics. Any attempt by Sec. Clinton to discuss policies was drown out by Trump's Tourette's screed.
Anyone tuning into a third debate is not looking for policy differences - they are driving slowly past a head on car crash.

(7,581 posts)Trump is trying to get the organizer removed. When he fails, he may back out.
And yes, that stunt he pulled using those women he paid to be there was disgraceful. It's all a circus to him, that's all.

(25,925 posts)Although these circus shows are not real debates in any meaningful way.
But we want more people to see how truly awful Donald Trump is. I suspect more of those watching are Trump supporters, expecting to cheer him on, watch him totally crush Hillary. Instead, at least some of them realize what an utter fraud, complete buffoon, total incompetent that he is. And they turn away from him.
We really want that to happen.
We want Trump to get a historically low vote, so that people will completely understand what a genuine disaster he is.
