I expect Mr. Trump was exposed as a total fraud and shameless liar.

chances of that - 100%

I'm so offended by this year's election process that I plan to read a book rather than watch the election. Carl Hiaasen's new book, I should think. It too will be daft, but I will have fun reading it.

The odds are 100 percent that I will not watch the debate.
The odds are 100 percent that I do not give a flying flip wether or not Donald pecks Hillary on the cheek.
The odds are 100 percent that most Americans who watch the debate will watch for the same reason they watch Monday night football.
The odds are 100 percent that on November 11 most Americans (unless Florida and the supreme court screw up) will have exactly what they deserve.
And good luck to them.

Putin? Foreign investments? Russian hackers? I would bet these get mentioned.

The best bet of all is that neither will say anything of substance and there will be no real discussion of pragmatic detailed solutions to problems. The odds are almost 100%.

They have more in common than the press wants to concede. And 75% chance they both begin a sentence or two with the very New Yorky "Look."

Trump needs to visualize himself as already President and consider Clinton one of the many political headaches he would face in office, one he will have to work with—firmly but respectfully. With the common sense of the everyman, Trump can throw Clinton’s logic back at her to reveal the superficiality and internal contradictions of her thinking, or he could simply concede her thinking on its own terms and then demonstrate that the deductions of elites are based on axioms that are not operative in a space governed by the logic of the masses, which is the basis of democracy after all. A debate stage becomes a verbal Ames Room.

"With the common sense of everyman". Surely you jest:)!

@Ed: If ever there was a time to break Godwin's law, it is now.
The logic of Germany's masses picked Hitler as their leader when he promised to make Germany great again. Eric Hoffer recognized this in True Believer where he wrote, “All mass movements deprecate the present, and there is no more potent dwarfing of the present than by viewing it as a mere link between a glorious past and a glorious future.”

If only the media and the country were focused on issues that really matter in this election. What color tie, what color jacket - is not that far from what we hear and read everyday.

I'll stick with Monday Night Football, thanks.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that Trump has placed bets on himself with a illegal bookie for some outrageous sum. I'm reading David Cay Johnston's The Making Of Donald Trump right now. No real surprises, as I remember my encounters with Trump when I was young and in the NYC area. The word that came to mind was a good Yiddish term (my bubbe wouldn't approve, but still): putz!
