Trump could win the debate simply by bluffing

NYP:

Hillary Clinton is going to be armed with facts, logic and policy chops at tomorrow night’s debate.

It’ll be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Unless Donald Trump has been hitting the briefing books and spending his evenings perusing back issues of National Affairs and The Economist — hey, the man has surprised us before! — it seems unlikely that he will have as many facts and details at his command as Clinton. And it doesn’t matter. Nobody comes out of a debate saying, “Wow, Senator Blutarsky had an impressively detailed answer on how to save 11 percent at the Department of Housing and Urban Development!”

Debates are about style, comportment, authority, the occasional zinger and the dreaded gaffe.

They’re about the direction of the country and who will steer us down the right path.

They’re about matching the emotional temperature of the voters.

Now more than ever, they’re also about sizing up which candidate would be less unbearable to see on TV every night for the next four years.

So Trump could win a debate, or all of them, without getting unnecessarily acquainted with facts.

Factual command could even hurt Hillary, if she starts to sound like a lawyer-bureaucrat-weasel: Remember how everyone hated Al Gore when he droned on (though not during a debate) about how “no controlling legal authority” had forbidden him to make fundraising calls from the White House?

Trump may not have a lot of facts, but he has a lot of slick moves: He knows debate kung fu.

24 Comments on Trump could win the debate simply by bluffing

  1. If Trump has a moment like Newt did last go around with John King, I say it’s game, set, match.

    And if he lays a line on Hillary like, “there you go again” all the dopamine in the world won’t stop her from short circuiting.

  2. I agree. Unless Trump goes completely insane, it doesn’t matter what Hillary regurgitates. If she tries to zing him, all he has to do is laugh it off with some Trump-esq retort and he’s gold. She brings up sexism, he brings up Bill. She brings up his tax returns, he brings up her 33,000 (+15K) missing e-mails. She brings up his lack of foreign experience, he brings up her failures. She brings up faux racism, he throws out the Democrats record in inner cities all over the country for the past 50 years.

    Hillary’s only game plan should be to stick to her policy knowledge and stay away from trying to zing him. Except we all know how bitter and angry she is. Plus seeing Jennifer there and 90 minutes of trying to stand upright, she is going to get tired and cranky very quickly which should lead to a meltdown by predict by the 47th minute.

  3. as much as I would love to see a total Hillary beat-down, careful what you wish for on September 26th though….should she melt down, get beat down, have a bloody seizure or what ever that crazed witch is capable of, it is EARLY for the lying cheating soul-less Dumbocrats……if she falls that bad at this stage, they will force her off the ticket and while Kaine is not the issue, if the powers suddenly decided to insert Uncle Joe Biden, the race is now over….no time to vet him, not time for him to make ungodly gaffes and they would just hide him saying “vote for the VP” and this would turn quickly on all of us hoping for a win. Better she does poorly, but not too bad and media continues to prop her up with polls that lie and talk bad about DT for another 3 or 4 weeks….remember, the JackoffKING in the Black House will not stop at issuing an executive order to alter the election or delay it if helps HIM.

  4. CFP says Hillary will try to make Trump look like a big, bad misogynist.
    She can’t use the “racist” card anymore, since that was debunked.
    So…that’s about all that’s left.
    She can’t talk about policy, because it’s her party’s policies that have created the current mess.
    And be prepared for the bull dyke contingent of “protesters”.

  5. “Trump may not have a lot af facts…”

    But neither will Hillary. She makes shit up reflexively, especially when she thinks she’ll get a pass. And whenever she has a fact at hand that might make her case, she’ll tell a lie anyway. That’s why she’s pushing so hard for an Army of Candys to check Trump’s transcript on the fly at the debate. Projection, projection, projection.

  6. If Clinton can’t reinvent herself in the next couple of days as a likable, honest, caring professional woman, she’s toasted termagant. Trump can win the election if he comes across as presidential. He doesn’t have to have all the facts and figures. The world isn’t going to stop turning for Clinton. Her failures as Secretary of State are going to be evident every time some Misunderstander of the Religion of Peace kills an unbeliever. Every time some future Democrat from Mexico rapes or kills an American, her voter base is going to shrink.
    The next time an Iranian gunboat harasses an American naval vessel, more voters are going to wonder what the hell was she thinking would happen when she and Omohamid embraced the world’s greatest terrorist regime. And just wait for those scrubbed emails to start turning up on Wickileaks. I

  7. Hillary will have many facts, they just won’t be true. And no matter what she says the MSM won’t challenge here anyway.

    Hillary also says so many things that an actual fact is bound to come out by accident at some point anyway.

  8. Lester Holt: “Secretary Clinton, since Mr. Trump just proposed paying federal taxes in the form of roasted baby flesh, how will you protect America’s financial system from him?”

  9. Personally I think the article is a crock. Hillary hasn’t used any ‘facts, logic and policy chops’ to date.

    She hasn’t got any accomplishments or policies to fall back on, in her very long and dubious career. She can only adopt Obama’s…which are proven failures.

    She’s a vicious, self serving, SICK, old bitch that left Americans to die in a terrorist attack because they knew too much about her nefarious schemes.

    The only people who will be impressed are the people who are ALREADY impressed. She’s not likeable enough to sway anyone else, she turns people off with her entitled attitude.

    I DO hope they check the old hag for ear pieces.

  10. If Team Trump has any brains, they’ll do what the Amazing Randi did to some televangelist decades ago by having someone with a scanner checking all frequencies for the guy’s secret earpiece communication between him and his wife, who was giving him supposed words from knowledge from God they’d collected from audience info cards. The audio was released and his career never recovered.

    Record Clinton’s feed and publicize the next day.

    Or do the opposite and sporadically jam all radio frequencies.

  11. hilarious … the article basically laments the fact that the media created this silly ‘debate’ where the more ‘presentable’ candidate wins, & Trump happens to be the more ‘presentable’ candidate ….
    you made it, you own it … eat it!

    Trump 2016 … Deplorable Me!
