Want to have some fun?

Preparation Survey


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Donald Trump is asking supporters to help him prepare for his first debate against Hillary Clinton.

The Trump campaign sent a letter to supporters Thursday asking them to take a preparation survey and answers a series of question before Monday night’s debate at Hofstra University.

“While Hillary is listening to a team of psychologists and advisors to teach her what to say, I’m turning to the very people who got me where I am today… YOU. I’m asking you to take the TRUMP Debate Preparation Survey within the next 24 hours to help me prepare for the biggest night of our campaign,” the letter said.

“We will only win this debate if our strongest supporters offer their thoughtful input on the issues Americans care about most,” Trump added.

He's prostrating himself before the public, begging for tips on how to win the election.

What kind of advice did you give?

I figure that if we flood them with crap, it'll screw up their "feedback" pretty nicely.

BTW, I used an email address that I don't even check. Won't ever be able to bother me!

Question 7:
Should Trump criticize the Clinton Foundation’s corruption, and urge the Clintons to shut it down and return all foreign donations?
- Yes
- No
- No opinion
- Other, please specify:


Is he SERIOUS?!

Please Proceed. Bring up the Clinton Foundation, Donnie. Let's compare it to the Trump Foundation, shall we?

Actually her whole freaking life!!!!!!!!

So yeah Trump, you are the one showing your limits/ignorance/unpreparedness! At this stage you should know more than what you do!

Hillary is prepared, ready and can handle the Presidency! You Trump, not so much! SAD!

I'll admit to talking to myself now and again, but I'm pretty certain I have a functioning brain in my skull. Him, not so much!

What this tells me is that he doesn't know what his "fans" want, or that he's looking for the angle that will best play to his base and won't do the normal due diligence to gather that information. Either way, pretty pathetic!

You may want to do that, or just go for needling, or as someone else did, answer "Yes" to everything. Whatever makes you laugh will probably be a bad thing for little Donny!

I tried to put answers that would alienate moderates.

I said he should speak about illegal immigration (hoping he would say something racist or ridiculous) and protecting the unborn life of a child (turn out that woman vote).

I said he should call our candidate Crooked Hillary at the debate because it comes off as unprofessional in a debate setting.

And I definitely said he should call out the Clinton foundation, which will only open the trump foundation up to attack from Hillary.

Finally, I signed my name as Hugh Jass and my email as Obamaisamoslem@Isis.Trump

He wants names and email addresses, so he can use or sell them. He could care less what "debate advice" anyone has for him.

... "yes" to almost all the "should he" questions. I would LOVE to give Hillary the opportunity to address all that sh*t.

Gave wrong name, but my "public" e-mail address. Let's see what I get.
