The media is setting up a "Trump Bounces Back in 2nd Debate" narrative

[UMTerp01]

I mean he has had yet another horrible week but watch...if he doesn't interrupt more than 10 tiimes and kind of stays coherent the narrative is gonna be that he either won, drew even, or "bounced back" even though he will still have lost because with no teleprompter or notes Hillary will run fucking circles around him again in the 2nd debate, and put the cherry on top in the 3rd debate. But you know these mothersuckas still need to keep it close til the very end.

1. Yawn...enjoy the week skip the negativity. nt.

2. at some point you cut your losses

Today he is at the complete and utter joke stage. He has days not a week to turn it around. Media will not be able to polish this turd.

4. If Himmler's decline brings in the ratings,

the MSM will be all over Trump.

3. The only way drumph can bounce back

is to get a trampoline and flip his massive frame

5. how come nobody's talking about the way the questions are to be

assembled?

that's the real scandal of this campaign

what were those idiots on the 'dem' side of the commission that comes up with the ground rules for the debates, including the townhaller?

6. Remember - #2 is a town hall

No podium to bark down from
No straight ahead camera angle
Literally thinking on his feet and connecting to individuals
Another mostly quiet room

7. Not this time

The media is turning on him. All he had to do was exhibit just a small amount of self restraint. He couldn't do it. Trump's fall from grace is making for good headlines. If it's about ratings then what's going on now is far more interesting than a tight presidential race.

This wreck is a rating bonanza. People are tuning in just to see what new garbage is uncovered.

8. Maggots going down

Again. Especially if he tries the Bill sex scandal thing.

9. They had already set up "Trump overachieves in first debate".... but that backfired on them

And the big difference here is the town hall setting exposes all of Trump's weaknesses.

[BobbyDrake]

10. That is a whole lot of Ifs you have there. A town hall format won't help Trump.

If anything, it just gets more people closer to his rambling word salad. Can you imagine the reaction shots from people who will be on-screen with him while he's talking? The gifs practically tweet themselves!

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

11. That would mean Trump is rational, or even simply sane

He isn't. In Debate II he will yell louder, interrupt more and generally be an even greater jackass. In his fogged mind, that is a winning strategy.

12. Sure you don't want a drink? nt
