Debate eve chatter

[niemand88f]

I mailed my ballot in this morning, but I'm kinda wishing I had waited - it would probably feel really satisfying to vote for her after if it's anything like the first debate.

[noodleoo]

I'm hoping HRC has an Alicia Machado type ace in her pocket for tomorrow. I really want to see him squirm again!

[katietornado]

Condi was asked for her reaction on learning that Trump called her "a bitch."

"Can't wait for November 9!"

Amazing.

i'm excited- i think he's gone further down the shit hole with every debate & I expect that trajectory will continue. She's proven herself steady and reliable on a debate stage with him, is generally unflappable, and will be ready to substantively answer any real questions lobbed at her while ducking the bullshit trump is spewing.

[katietornado]

Hilz has invited a man from Nebraska with dwarfism and will talk about her commitment to people with disabilities.

[bowies]

I do expect her to play defense quite a bit since she has a record on foreign policy and he...doesn't. I absolutely refuse to play any drinking game that involves Benghazi.

But I agree that he'll be in full Breitbart mode. It'll be his last giant audience before he announces his lawsuit against every blue state on the night of November 8.

[RoxMonster]

I was initially going to say that we will say crazy, unhinged Trump tomorrow, but I feel like we see that side of him always.

So what I mean is, I think he will be bringing all the low blows, insults, appeal-to-his-base shit that he does. HRC will be fine. She basically just needs to get through one more "debate" with him not letting him rattle her, which I know she can do, and then it is *hopefully* smooth sailing for her until Nov. 8, relatively speaking.

[WanderingWinoZ]

is there a specific topic or focus for this debate?
i know it will be same format as 1st debate

I got back from Europe just in time. This is going to be EPIC.

[sporky]

I'm ready. I have nowhere to be Thursday and a whole bottle of Cabernet ready to go. Time to sweep the leg, Hillary. Sweep the leg.

[earlgreyhot]

I'd like Hillary makes a dig about him starting his own news network...see what he has to say about that.

[Velar Fricative]

I wonder if Trump will talk up his extensive foreign policy experience that includes once being married to a woman from Communist Czechoslovakia and currently being married to a woman from Communist Yugoslavia. And maybe some of his international vacations.

[sm12]

I, too, was feeling anxious but you guys have reassured me.

I had a 7 am meeting the morning after the last debate - that was rough.
So this time, I blocked off the next morning. And then today my boss called a 7 am meeting for Thursday morning. Ugh.

Trump probably got mad Obama told him to stop whining and that's why he invited his half brother, never mind that he's not actually running against Obama.

Nope! Telework was canceled due to mandatory in-office training. So my options were go to the office or use annual leave and do a training make-up later. I would've been willing to telework, but I'm exhausted and have a ton of laundry to do. No way was I going to make it into the office.

I missed you.

[peachy]

I'm not watching this one. I can't take any more.

[krystee]

I want to be Hillary's guest. I'm in Vegas tomorrow!

[Jalapeñomel]

Do you think something will be released regarding Trump tomorrow morning?

[Jalapeñomel]

Has there been any discussion about Michael Moore's (I know, I know) new movie talking about how this is all a ploy to get a salary increase from NBC?

I was wondering this as well.

I need to go to bed so I can rest up for tomorrow.

The debate is tomorrow -- Wednesday.

Wallace is going to have to ask Trump about all these allegations. I am sure that Trump is going to come UNHINGED in answering that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Anonymous or another group dropped a bunch of Trump organization emails. Lots of chatter lately about how they're running unpatched EOL software on their servers.

[isabel]

I'm not nervous. I am prematurely irritated by Trump's lunacy.

Not that I agree with the reality-show-ification of the debates, but if I did, I'd tell Hills to bring Alex Baldwin-as-Trump as her special guest.

I would pay a million dollars to sneak Baldwin-Trump a microphone so he could say "WRONG" after every Trump answer.

Damn, you guys beat me to my own punch line...who can I call to get Baldwin-Trump to show up instead of the actual Captain Douchebag?
