Many of the silly partisan ideologues on both ends will proclaim their candidate the winner, even if that person has the worst debate in the history of historical histories.
One of the many examples of why partisan ideologues have zero credibility.
.
What do you think amounts to winning the debate?
Presenting the stronger Wonkish pile of fictional policies or just persuading more people to vote for you?
Hillary will do better with the first goal while Trump will win wildly with the second set of goals.
Hence why I say he will win, if he avoids a serious verbal fumble.
This is Trump's chance to disprove the lies the Left has been spewing about him. It does not matter how well he does in the debate, if he can show that he is NOT, a Hilter that will start a nuclear war.
IF he can show that Hillary's panic mongering is nonsense, he wins far more than Hillary can hope to win.
Hillary has not such enormous lie that overcoming will bring great benefits to her.
IN her case the more the public gets a chance to truly know her, the worse that is for her chances.
I'd like to see Trump dispel the rumors
Behave himself
Show that he is inowlegeable about the issues
Provide details on his positions
Defend his past statements and positions
Look Presidential
Only one he really needs to crush, is HIllary's central theme, that Trump is a Hitler that is going to kill you.
If he can show how moronic and asshole anyone who pushes that is, like HIllary, then he brings into play a nice sized chunk of undecided and blue dog democrats, not to mention some portion of moderate republicans who have made the mistake of giving the media any credibility.
Issues, details, that is you lying. He doesn't need to do that. HE's done enough of that to show where he is coming from.
And nothing he does would EVER be enough for a dishonest troll like you have become to admit that he answered your questions.
