During  the first debate Trump behaved like a whipping boy apparently being completely unprepared. What about the next   debate that we will watch in 4 days? Trump promised to go after Clinton and defeat her.  Will he be able to do that?

[egalitt]

Yes, the second debate will feature a different format with questions from the audience. But who will the audience consist of? If they are all Clinton backers no wonder Trump will lose. At the first debate Trump had to fight not only Clinton but also Holt. Next Sunday he  is expected to fight two moderators and the audience.

The audience is undecided voters chosen by Gallup. Make of that what you will.

I strongly doubt there are still  undecided voters.

Statistics shows that  during the last 60 years the candidate who lost the first debate won the election. My personal choice is 4th option.

well....obama lost the first debate of 2012 maybe in an even more explicit way than trump and....

it pushed the race about 3 points into romney's direction.

this time...

the race looks far less competetive at this point.

never say never in politics but all i can tell until now is that trump is doubling down....unique election, unique rules.

Your  flag is Latvian.

What's the difference?

We should take into account  tomorrow's suprise. Assange will publish another portion of Clinton emails to show connections between her foundation and Muslim terrorists.  Clinton perhaps will be questioned by FBI rather  than by debate's participants and guests.

You're being had. Assange used you like a latex glove.

A couple of days left, we will see who is right.

At this point, I don't care about the debates. And I wonder if they will change anyone's mind. To me they are just mental distractions. I've already known years ago who I was going to vote for. I'm so done with all this crap, mainly with all the media coverage of Trump's crap. I want him gone already. Done with that idiocy.

You confirm my conjecture there are no undecided voters left by now.  The audience will be Clinton backers to ask Trump questions about that  idiocy. They will vote Clinton even if she is charged with treason and taken into custody.

That concerns me. Somebody who has not yet decided whether they will vote for Trump is somebody who apparently isn't all too concerned about the deplorable things he's said and done.

Exactly! Undecided voters at this point will be largely people who WANT to vote for Trump, but just need the excuse to do so.

The key phrase is "at this point".  Gallup selected audience for the debate months ago.

Clinton beats Trump by a smaller margin. Clinton is a way better debater when it comes to one on one.

The debate will not be one on one.

Having read about Trump's New Hampshire town hall, and just seen a bit of it (thanks for posting the video, ApatheticAustrian), I may have to revisit my prediction of a draw.

This man is amazing. He can't answer a question. He can't stay on the same subject for more than thirty seconds. He rambles, touching on a few key talking points as and when he remembers he's been told to say them. He switches mid-sentence from talking about himself to bashing Clinton. He does that 'asshole' gesture with his right hand constantly. He looks about as presidential as Scooby Doo.

This is what ordinary votes like.
