Is Trump Capitulating?

We've made it to another Friday, Friends,

With Hurricane Matthew churning its way up Florida's coast this morning, Hillary Clinton is preparing for Sunday's debate in seclusion.

Her campaign carries on with a YUGE array of heavy-hitting surrogates--including both the President and First Lady--blanketing the swing states.

By comparison, the Trump campaign is limping along with just Governor Mike Pence and The Donald himself as its advocates. Trump simply has no GOP stars to rally voters.

This election is truly a battle of David and Goliath. But what ended the right way in the days of yore would be the worst result today. We actually need to root for Goliath.

This may be what everybody will call him after Sunday's debate.
But Trump's future plans don't include actually being President. At
least, let's hope not.

Trump is doing a lot to make the desired outcome happen for us. Once again, he appears not to be preparing for his next debate with Hillary Clinton.

What was billed last night as Trump's important rehearsal for this weekend's event--a town hall meeting in New Hampshire similar to this coming Sunday's format--turned out to be completely useless.

It was a small gathering of loyal Trump supporters who threw him fewer than half a dozen softball questions. One report said that he'd even seen the questions in advance.

Trump was out campaigning again this morning. So unless he's found a way to be in two places at one time, he's not preparing.

We all witnessed what happened when only one of the two candidates was ready for the first debate. After just a half hour of the 90 minutes, Trump had virtually left the building. At least his coherence did.

He may actually be planning another monumental meltdown. This one would seal the deal on his defeat to Hillary in just a month hence.

Virtually all the polls are already pointing this way after his drubbing at Hillary's hands in the first contest. With less than 72 hours until the next one, I don't see how Trump can be ready for it.

For those who refused to obey mandatory orders to evacuate the Florida coast, now that the storm surge is about to hit, it's too late for them. It's now also too late for Trump to be ready for Sunday's impending deluge.

Another performance like his last one will be Trump's end. But with no preparation, there's virtually no chance of any other outcome for him.

Donald Trump has to know this.

And that's why Sunday's debate will be his tacit--if not overt--capitulation to Hillary Clinton.

In fact, there won't be any third debate for Trump and Clinton after Sunday's looming pummeling.

If you're a regular reader, you know I believe he wants it this way.
