The Election is Rigged (I'm Going To Lose)

[CapnAwesome]

However with the debates the Republicans were saying the exact same thing. Wait until he debates, then he'll fall apart. Wait until the next debate. You have to remember that Trump has more television experience then everybody else put together. However unlike the Republicans, who were unused to being on TV largely, Hillary has the second most. She's been in countless debates, run high profile campaigns and I'm sure she knows to stay dignified and let other people around her be the mud slingers. Still, she's never been someone who looked great on TV, sort of in an stiff Al Gore type way.

Still, underestimating Trump in the debates would be stupid.

I think Trump will do OK in the debates.

There's a saying in martial arts, never box a boxer.

Hillary Clinton debates, and Trump trolls. Trump won't try debating Hillary Clinton, but Hillary Clinton will have to keep her cool around Trump.

Trump can openly lie and whatever Clinton responds with he can stick with his story. He has the narcissistic personality to get away with it because he'll believe his own lies and convince the audience of his sincerity. It won't matter if the papers reveal how wrong he is because that will be after the event and analysis doesn't count as much as appearance.

We know on this forum how debates with theists in their churches aren't won on whether what is being said correct or not but whether it feels good to the audience. Trump knows how to play up to the audience and if he gets Clinton frustrated and riled then it won't matter that he bullshitting.

During the debates the educated people will be throwing their hands up in the air and going "Waaah??".  The rest of the world will be face palming. The Trump supporters won't know nuthin about no foreign poly seas but will like how Trump sticks it to the bitch. And everyone else will be unsure but not really caring enough to find out who was right and so will rely on their feels.

Then Trump becomes president, gets the nuclear codes and it will be all ...

I agree with everything you say (minus Trump bringing about nuclear Armageddon, which is silly) although I think there is an important part that is left out. A core of Hillary supporters will want her to sink to Trump's level. That's the call that she'll have to ignore. Even if Trump wins a debate (I'm not sure how many there will be), she needs to stick to looking presidential and making him not look presidential. She also needs to not underestimate him.
