Moderator: "Mr. Trump please explain your policy about X."

Trump: "Bill Clinton cheated on Hillary with that woman in the front row!"

And no one during or after the debate will call Trump out on it.

So - Gennifer Flowers will be in the front row of the debate. [View all] Avalux Sep 2016 OP

Good one! cilla4progress Sep 2016 #1

How bizarre jberryhill Sep 2016 #2

No, they don't introduce the audience and I believe they stay in the shadows. bettyellen Sep 2016 #3

I'm expecting Trump to call attention to Gennifer anyway, that's why he asked her there. Avalux Sep 2016 #4

No, that would be a huge break with precedent. They keep them in shadow the entire time. bettyellen Sep 2016 #15

Good to hear. Trump is trying to make it a circus of course. Avalux Sep 2016 #19

It would be a break from tradition to interview anyone like that when there is so much bettyellen Sep 2016 #22

This whole election has been a break with precedent - hard to believe nadine_mn Sep 2016 #37

The debate commission does not allow the media to put their cameras anywhere they want... bettyellen Sep 2016 #43

I know you are taking this seriously nadine_mn Sep 2016 #45

I agree he is always trying to steal headlines. That's why she should ignore it and also bettyellen Sep 2016 #48

Good grief. LOL. What a lowlife jerk. Hortensis Sep 2016 #49

He's trying to change the headlines from "he sucked despite low expectations" every surrogate should bettyellen Sep 2016 #65

You think CNN won't show her and tell us who she is? I knew that doc03 Sep 2016 #6

They will talk about it, but from what I recall they keep lights off the audience the whole time and bettyellen Sep 2016 #12

And EVERYBODY at this stage has released their tax returns. n/t TexasProgresive Sep 2016 #17

Taxes are ot within the debate commissions control- but the lighting and sound in the venue has been bettyellen Sep 2016 #20

What I was thinking is that he may bring his own spot light and shine it right on Ms. Flowers TexasProgresive Sep 2016 #24

HA. I wonder if he can resist making an asshole move for ninety minutes. bettyellen Sep 2016 #25

He's already made an asshole move and the debate hasn�t even started. nt SunSeeker Sep 2016 #70

obviously.....bring in Jane Doe and Jill Harth Gabi Hayes Sep 2016 #5

Good idea, Hillary has been towering over people such as Trump for years, Thinkingabout Sep 2016 #7

This is destined to blow up in Donald's face Charles Bukowski Sep 2016 #8

No, she will not. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2016 #9

Can you provide a link with that information? Thanks in advance. n/t Avalux Sep 2016 #10

Here: The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2016 #13

I'm happy to hear that. I stand corrected then, she won't be in the front row. Avalux Sep 2016 #18

Just tit for tat. It was stupid of Cuban to showboat like that. bettyellen Sep 2016 #27

I agree. I think this is pretty childish on the part of both campaigns. razorman Sep 2016 #33

I doubt he vetted that tweet with HRC. It may or may not be something they joked about privately bettyellen Sep 2016 #34

You're probably right. With today's social media, no campaign razorman Sep 2016 #41

On a Twitter today the deplorables were trying to push a meme that the KKK grand wizard bettyellen Sep 2016 #44

I pretty much tune out whenever I see mention of the KKK. It has been a big razorman Sep 2016 #69

I don't believe it's tit-for-tat Skoods Sep 2016 #40

Well Cuban pulled this macho intimidation shit on Twitter. Which was dumb. bettyellen Sep 2016 #46

Hardly Loki Liesmith Sep 2016 #74

Not if Trump gets more ink with this Flowers shit. Seems like a lot of people would love her to bettyellen Sep 2016 #76

G.F. will not get a bit of attention from Hillary. And if the media pnwmom Sep 2016 #93

I agree- am kind of shocked people are suggesting she even acknowledge her at the debate-WTF? bettyellen Sep 2016 #98

+1. pnwmom Sep 2016 #91

I think it was clever of Cuban to bait Trump and get under his skin. pnwmom Sep 2016 #89

I only disagree because the MSM will pay more attention to the Twitter War than issues... bettyellen Sep 2016 #96

The media will NEVER give the most coverage to the issues. pnwmom Sep 2016 #97

Who says he isn't allowed to sit in front? That's not what the statement said. pnwmom Sep 2016 #94

That's not what it says. He says it's up to the candidates but the commission will "frown" pnwmom Sep 2016 #88

Not exactly. They said it is up to the campaigns where they seat people, but the commission pnwmom Sep 2016 #31

Thanks Dem2 Sep 2016 #101

I sort of hope Trump goes this route. LAS14 Sep 2016 #11

She probably will not, unless Donald Jr gives up his seat like the gentlemen he will never be. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2016 #14

Neither will mention her but Trump's spin room will make sure it is mentioned in coverage underpants Sep 2016 #16

Hopefully they do. Millions of married women will have even more reason to hate Trump, pnwmom Sep 2016 #95

that would be fucking stupid. let trump control the debate ? JI7 Sep 2016 #21

Is this trump's answer to jobs, the Supreme Court, healthcare, education, etc? still_one Sep 2016 #23

Yes! Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #29

I can't even call it unfair after Cuban was mouthing off about his invite. LeftRant Sep 2016 #26

It isn't the same IN THE SLIGHTEST. Cuban criticizes Trump for his fraudulent business practices pnwmom Sep 2016 #56

We agree. It isn't the same. LeftRant Sep 2016 #61

Hillary won't be the least bit rattled by G.F. -- unlike Trump, who has already been pnwmom Sep 2016 #87

She's a strong cookie and I hope that is the case :) LeftRant Sep 2016 #106

This is the type of BS that will diminish anything Clinton says... Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #28

I can't imagine anyone doing that around the women anchors. WTF they'd look lok bettyellen Sep 2016 #35

Sadly... Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #50

Lead story for days? Flowers is a nobody. No reaction, no story. Period. bettyellen Sep 2016 #68

How many Trump non-stories dominated for days? Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #109

Disinvited because there was no upside to making a fuss of her unless HRC was willing to be baited bettyellen Sep 2016 #110

I never thought Hillary would have a come back. She is too smart for that. Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #112

I think the campaign has done everything they can to deflate his "controversies" but he goes bettyellen Sep 2016 #113

I hope that such will change... Else You Are Mad Sep 2016 #114

We have such an "Ooh, shiny!!" media. Beartracks Sep 2016 #39

Gennifer who? Norbert Sep 2016 #30

I have a feeling this will not go over well with women Renew Deal Sep 2016 #32

What a pair of lowlifes. CanonRay Sep 2016 #36

Has she really said she'd be there, or was she yanking donald's chain? Ilsa Sep 2016 #47

Hillary is running to be President. She'll treat Gennifer like any other underthematrix Sep 2016 #52

Maybe Trump's rape accuser would like to attend.... Historic NY Sep 2016 #53

I fail to see why Jennifer Flowers is an important person any longer. wisteria Sep 2016 #55

You are right. Flowers is not important. trump has wasted Sunny05 Sep 2016 #64

So we know know what zTrimp will do rather than explaining his plans. wisteria Sep 2016 #57

Why not? She's going to be Gennifer Flowers' president, too! colorado_ufo Sep 2016 #58

or if Hillary can't mention Flowers by name... fierywoman Sep 2016 #59

Why would a serial adulterer Simongren Sep 2016 #60

Thank Heavens she would never take your suggestion. KittyWampus Sep 2016 #62

I totally agree. NanceGreggs Sep 2016 #63

The audience sits in darkness, there should not be any tension bettyellen Sep 2016 #71

What "deserves no air" ... NanceGreggs Sep 2016 #75

And Hillary stooping down to this level would be unprecedented and get her negative headlines bettyellen Sep 2016 #77

I fail to see how being gracious ... NanceGreggs Sep 2016 #85

Because she would not normally be addressing any of the many people she knows in the audience bettyellen Sep 2016 #92

Obviously ... NanceGreggs Sep 2016 #99

I trust her as well, Nance! Good point. bettyellen Sep 2016 #100

I think HRC won't be fazed. Also, this shows how out-of-touch Sunny05 Sep 2016 #66

Yeah- it's weird that anyone would think she should care or even react. bettyellen Sep 2016 #79

It's a moot point now, anyway. Duval Sep 2016 #103

I'll bet you're right. Sunny05 Sep 2016 #104

I tink this is an utter non-issue. nt broadcaster75201 Sep 2016 #67

Yea, your right, so? nolabels Sep 2016 #86

Trump is trying to create a "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" level debate. herding cats Sep 2016 #90

As a fellow Methodist, I have a thought for Hillary. raging moderate Sep 2016 #102

Trump blames women if their husbands have affairs. Bullying Hillary like this will BACKFIRE anneboleyn Sep 2016 #107
