I watched a town hall meeting with Donald Trump on Fox last night and have come to the conclusion

[pink]

that when the debates are held between him and the Democratic candidate, he should be hooked up to a polygraph machine. The lies that flowed so freely from this man's mouth was gob-smacking. There should at least be a fact-checker on the panel to correct his statements in real time.

1. I predict he will not debate.

3. Yeah I don't think so either

2. He doesn't have to tell the truth. His followers don't expect that.

Debate moderators might try to call him out, but he'll just go off in another direction or smirk and stand his ground. People act like he's a rational candidate or a real President. He won't act like either one, because rationality or truth or fact doesn't enter into the GOP worldview anymore.

5. Maybe have him stand on a trap door

and every time he tells a lie, it opens. It might work as a deterrent.

4. If he is indeed a full blown malignant narcissist (he is....)

He could possibly pass a lie detector. Their brains are so damaged that they BELIEVE the falsehoods to be true - they can do that to protect the tiny flaccid 'soul' that they have left after their upbringing.

6. How the hell would you ever get a baseline on him?

[HarlanPepper]

7. I don't think there will be any debates

Dump will invent some kind of grievance to get out of them, His cult will cheer and the media will endlessly litigate whether it is a smart move within the horse race lens.

8. THIS ⬆⬆

Thanks!

9. Trump will participate in the debates

That would be normalcy. Never make forecasts that adjust wildly from normalcy. This is the same line of thinking that had Trump resigning or not being renominated.

I know I've posted it many times but it's incredible how many wagers I used to win in Las Vegas merely by ignoring details and ignoring wild adjustments and simply forecasting normalcy.

Pretend you're in a fortress while everyone else is in a hurricane. Nothing enters your realm while everyone else is reacting to chaos from every direction.
