Will There Be a Debate Meltdown?

Whew, it's Friday, Friends,

With slightly more than three days until the first presidential debate, one candidate is preparing while the other is out stumping.

The former wants this job, is perhaps more qualified for it than any other candidate in history, and has dedicated her life to getting it.

The latter can't believe he's even gotten this far, loves the celebrity, but could care less about getting the job.

I have been pointing this out for months, and if you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that.

Well, Hallelujah. This morning on MSNBC, Evan McMullin supporter and well-known Conservative editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol agreed with me.

Rumor has it that this is how Donald Trump is preparing for
Monday night's big debate. 

Kristol's hoping for that one historic moment on Monday night when Trump absolutely crumbles, showing the world to be the huckster he is. But neither he nor I really believe that's going to happen.

An extremely skilled debater, Hillary Clinton will do her best to get under The Donald's skin, but I believe even he can control himself enough for 90 minutes to not get too rattled.

Her mastery of policy and technique will prove no match for Trump's showmanship.

Rather than ever reveal what an empty suit he actually is, if pressed, Trump will use his considerable media skills to turn the most-watched debate ever into a circus.

He's looking to make whatever happens become the narrative for as long as he can make it last. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. He doesn't believe in bad publicity. Just as long as it's about him, it serves his ends.

What are his ends?

Well, Bill Kristol thinks it's all about Trump's celebrity, but that's just part of it.

As he's been running for President, The Donald has simultaneously been building his next YUGE venture. If you're a regular reader, you know I've already given it a name: Trumpbart -- America's new Alt Right news empire.

He's already got his complete management staff assembled--among them Roger Ailes, Steve Bannon, and David Bossie. And he's been courting talent like Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren.

Buhlieve me, Friends, this is going to happen.

It would be great to watch the emperor sans clothes on Monday night, but I'm not banking on it. We're more likely to come away with some outrageous and memorable one liners.

It should also be pretty obvious who the genuine candidate is, and who's simply the greatest reality TV star of all time.
