Alright, an hour to go folks. Taking bets.

1. Trump, forsaken by his party, hounded by new scandals and terrible poll numbers, completely loses control and fivethirtyeight.com gives Clinton a 100% chance of winning on Monday morning.
2. Trump...just...barely...holds it...............together. He avoids being goaded, says the talking points and leaves, no worse and no better off than when he started the debate.
3. Trump roundly defeats Clinton after, to her complete horror, he brings up Bill's affairs.
4. Trump, in an unexpected last moment, realizes the kind of human he could be and instantly evolves into a higher form of intelligence, abandoning the follies of his immaturity and youth. Clinton immediately concedes and hands the Presidency over to Trump, and he leads civilization into a new Golden Age that will last ten thousand years. His living mind is sustained in a jar so that his wisdom will continue to guide us as we colonize the stars and communicate with advanced alien species.
5. Trump admits that he's completely unqualified, concedes and walks off the stage in front of a shocked audience. At which point, Clinton, having finally achieved her life's dream of becoming President, removes her face to reveal that she's Ming the Merciless.
6. Trump acts like an asshole and Clinton, having remained stoic for the totality of the debate, is considered the winner afterwards.
7. Other.

Trump will WIN WIN WIN. At least, the noise machine will be telling us that. Unless he doesn't, then it's the moderator's fault for having the temerity to question Him.
 
I'm sure trump won't disappoint with his theatrics. I'm eating popcorn for this debate and having a couple drinks!:drink
 
Hillary will spill her glass of water on the podium causing her hidden teleprompter to short out. She'll then pull so much of her hair out in frustration, that her earpiece will come out with it, and Herr Hillary will order reeducation camps for everyone who witnessed her meltdown, to erase her blunder from public knowledge.
 
Trump tries to save his campaign by being normal, but fails to do so. End result--no gain no loss. He's toast anyway.
 
Trump will go into a tirade and spend the duration of the debate litigating his past....and repeating lies from the National Enquirer.

Hillary will kindly remind him that her husband isn't running for president and then talk more about the issues.
 
Hit me up a sawbuck on #6! :thumbs:
 
I prefer to wait and see.

It's possible he will make things worse.

It's also possible he will be well-prepared by his handlers this time on at least this issue.

It's possible Clinton's targeting of this will make her look worse.

Since it could go up or down for either candidate...I choose other and will wait and see.
 
Honestly, I have absolutely no idea how this debate is gonna go down.

Trump might just explode into a ball of orange goo by the end of it.
 
I want to remain shocked if it were to come to pass, but a large chunk of the time I think to myself, "he wouldn't, would he?" Sometimes my skepticism pans out. Most of the time, however, it does not.
 
I was just struck with a horrible idea: what if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton behave with complete civility toward each other and only discuss substantive issues important to the country?

Donald Trump would be the greatest actor that ever lived.

What's more likely is, Jessica Alba comes into my bedroom tonight, asks for me by name and my wife gives me permission.

LOL. That's a funny joke.
 
Interesting that the Dems have won all three coin tosses? First question a softball.
 
Both candidates will be reasonable, respectful and Presidential and will focus on governmental issues. How the powers of the President, as outlined n the Constitution, can be used to improve the lives of average Americans.

NOT! It'll be mud-wrestling, trash-talking, posturing and posing and counter-sluring and it will all leave a bad residual smell in the room.
 
I know this is silly, but is Trump's tie intentionally crotch length?
 
Does the Donald think his finger pointing is a good idea? Does he not have the use of his voice? Also, here is an easy factcheck, Trump claims Hillary refuses to use the word radical Islam which is untrue because unlike Obama she does at times use that term.

Kinda like when Trump says it was just "locker room" bragging...instead of "sexual assault" bragging.
