That seems like something the Trump campaign would say.

"After the election, GOP leaders will disown Trump AND claim Trump's epic toxicity and collapse mean Hillary's victory is without mandate."

Reading it again, it really does. Wonder if that's how they pitched it to her.

Only if she was claiming she was sexually assaulted.. *badumtss*

To me it doesn't matter if the fiance is looking for a bit of fame, if Trump/Bannon is paying her to do it, or just taking advantage of her willingness, Trump's violating the family's wishes and he's the one that should be responsible for not abusing the guy and his family and this woman this way. She's not to blame regardless of her motivation.

Tonight’s debate kicks off at 6PM PT at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the two major party nominees will be moderated by Fox News anchor Chris Wallace in a more traditional format akin to the first showdown. The event will focus on six key topics, including immigration, the economy and the Supreme Court, and once again, it’s set to run a full 90 minutes with no commercials.

As with the two previous Clinton v. Trump rumbles on the stump, there’s no shortage of ways to tune in. The list of channels carrying the event include C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. And naturally, there are plenty of ways to live stream online. Here’s a taste.

And don’t forget to breathe.

Man, Trump supporters are just oblivious. Got into on Facebook with a dude and he made some claims about the Clinton Foundation being a criminal organization so I asked for a source and he told me to do a search on Haiti. Do these people not understand what a source is? It's like arguing with anti-vaxxers (which Trump also is).

I recently had a Trump supporter who was rifling on about conspiracy theories involving Clinton call me a facist/communist when I asked him questions about his information. He then went on to tell me he was a research meteorologist and was logical thinker, therefore he was an authority on politics. When questioned about his science background, he cut and paste information straight from google to back up his "degree." He then labeled me and another fella, who was also questioning him, morons and idiots. He was a climate change denier of course, but an expert because of his bogus science degree. By the end of it he hoped we died during the next ice age/cold cyclic snap etc. So much hate and anger.

I don't know, he'll have 40 million committed followers vs 300 million non-committed people. He might be more successful then the apprentice.

Not surprisingly, it appears that Trump once again has done zero or very little debate prep for tonight, instead spending the last few days firing up his deplorables at rallies and blabbing on about everything being rigged. Meanwhile Hillary's been off the campaign trail for five days, no doubt prepping like a sonuvabitch.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that he's essentially given up on trying to win the election and is now just trying to stir the #### storm and take the GOP down with him. I think most people will tune in tonight just to see how much lower he's gonna stoop with his mud slinging. It'll be interesting to see how much he tries to use the "election is rigged" angle.

"The Republican has acquiesced to some advisers who pressed for him to do more serious preparations after the first debate. Still, he's continued to eschew the mock debates and multiday prep sessions that he's criticizing Clinton for."

I hadn't checked Trump's twitter page for a few weeks and man that thing has turned into an absolute ####show. It basically looks like your crazy alt+right friend's facebook feed.

I'm trying to figure out what the best game plan is for Clinton tonight... I think she should assume that she's got the election wrapped up if no crazy proverbial bombs are dropped, but has a definite shot at flipping the senate and the house. How do you best do that? It could be that you look not only to attack Trump, but to attack Republican party brass more. I'd talk about obstructionism, I'd talk about McCain promising to block any Clinton SCOTUS nominee, I'd talk about the lack of denouncing Trump after the tapes surfaced. Try to paint Trump's movement as something the GOP has been laying the foundation for throughout Obama's term. Let the trainwreck behind the other podium continue, but tie the whole GOP to it.
