How Trump Wins the Debates - (Hillary's optics problem ..lol)

Americans will be watching the presidential debates closely  not for policies or ideas, but for images and demeanor. This creates a clear opening for Donald Trump. Hillary has hidden behind flacks and party hacks and pandering and controlled media. Trump has behaved exactly the opposite way, speaking for himself, attacking party machines, and acting often unscripted.





If Hillary was elected, she would be the fattest president since William Howard Taft, the shortest president since James Madison, and the second oldest president in American history. These very visible factors will quietly blend into the evaluation voters will make of her, whatever she says during the debates, especially as voters also try to figure out if she is really healthy or if she is lying about that, as she lies about almost everything.



Trump, in contrast, exudes energy and health, and while he is even older than Hillary and while he is chubby, too, the way he carries himself bespeaks a different sort of person from Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton.

People are looking for an excuse to vote Trump. To win, he needs to give it to them. No one is tuning in to watch the Witch Of Chappaqua.

Trump can sink Hillary just by making cross-eyes at her.



To: onyx

She has to stand unassisted for 90 minutes, under bright lights & national audience pressure, without those special blue glasses. She’ll be lucky if she doesn’t collapse.



To: onyx

He can't win the debate. The media will not allow that. But the people watching will know that he is already a winner and sick and crooked Hillary is a loser.

People want it to be OK to vote Trump. They need to feel it’s an allowed option socially. That’s why the left has had to prop up the BS about him being a hater. Which is why I’ve been anticipating the first debate as being the time when Trump will surge and pull away and crush Hillary.. people who weren’t sure will see he is a good man and not a hater.

Trump will win the debate and the presidency in the first minute. He will appear tall, strong and alive. Hillary will appear as a small old Russian char woman. Who will you follow into battle? Follow a leader or a char woman?



To: onyx

Trump wins just by showing up on stage I think.



To: goldstategop

No one is tuning in to watch the Witch Of Chappaqua. I bet they are, but I also bet most won't be listening that closely to what she says. They'll be waiting for a collapse on stage, something I don't believe will happen.



To: canuck_conservative

I am guessing they will have a podium she can lean on. I don’t want the woman to win...and she belongs in jail, but I am adverse to seeing an old feeble woman who needs rest forced to stand.

I was surprised to learn that Hillary is SHORT because she appears YUGE to me...LOL. I guess that’s due to her girth...LOL. James Madison was 5’4” so Hillary has to be 5’3” or shorter. I’ve always thought her weight was around 200 but I thought she was approximately 5’6” or taller. WOW!

HaHaHa.

She’ll go into LECTURE mode on those subjects and that won’t go over well at all!

No one who watches the debates is really going to be interested in what Hillary says or does. Even her supporters can turn on the mute button when she is answering questions. In the last quarter-century, Hillary has never said anything new or original, and her strategy is to waddle behind the Obama presidency and hope no one pays much attention to her. Like I said...

Thanks for this post onyx. Bruce Walker is an excellent writer. From the article:Like I said...
