(25,857 posts)He's completely convinced he won the first debate. He'll go into the town hall confident he's got Hillary on the ropes.
Chances are high he'll explode at some of the questions, do his usual lying about everything, but he'll stay the entire time.
Keep in mind how many people predicted he wouldn't show for the first one. He's not that kind of a quitter. I'm sure he's positive he'll win the election.

(415 posts)He'll use the mic situation (but he was loud and clear on TV) to weasel out. At which point Hillary will call out his cowardice and cancel the third debate.
He's toast. Can you say LANDSLIDE?

(40,416 posts)The "Trump is going to bail" narrative has been going on for months. Frankly it is silly and there is no claim other than wishful thinking that it's true.
He's still running for president and from all appearances he is still going to debate Hillary Clinton. After all, he won the debate!!!! (But it was still rigged!)
The GOP is stuck with him. (Possibly thankfully.)

(42,703 posts)A list that includes:
Trump will drop out before the Repub convention
Trump will drop out before the first debate
Trump will refuse to do any debates
Trump will not show up for the first debate
Trump will not show up for the second debate
And so on and so forth.
Back in the real world, Trump is a ego-maniacal nut job who truly thinks he's doing a good job. I have little doubt that e'll show for the second debate and stay until its over. And that he'll show for the third debate as well.

(5,754 posts)so my prediction is that they have to cut his mic when he goes all Howard Stern at the town hall. Is this show rated for all audiences or TV-14?
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)to just "bring up" any Bill indiscretions. Because, it is the people who ask the questions and unlikely anyone would. It will be interesting to see how he squeezes it in. "Exactly how will you fix the economy?" Trump: "It will be FANTASTIC when I do it. It will be so much better than when Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica ! "
Generic Brad
(14,275 posts)His entire life he has felt that whatever he desired was his birthright and delusionally believes he is the better of his betters. He's a spoiled rich prick who is finally getting his comeuppance.
He is deeply insecure and knows he is outclassed and out ranked. But there is that whole birth right thing he has going. If he can just convince us with enough bluster and he gets the validation he is desperately seeking (like the results of cherry picked on line polls) he will have the compulsion to carry on.
So sit back and enjoy the epic flop to come.

(67,782 posts)....that scene and character are very appropriate, male or female.
Mike Daniels
(5,842 posts)There's no way he doesn't show up. His brand is in shambles unless he tells the GOP " your asses just got punked"

(37,428 posts)I keep being wrong, but he can't be enjoying his beat-down anymore.
