Report: Trump Advisers Are Worried He’s Going to Launch Race-Based, Misogynistic, Unhinged Attacks on Harris at the Debate (i.e. Be Himself)

1. It’s very likely that at 78 years old, this Trump dog ain’t learning any new tricks.

   So yeah, highly likely it happens.

2. That’s the only reason Trump’s handlers backpedaled on the hot mics issue. They honestly don’t believe their candidate can handle himself for 90 minutes without the benefit of a mute button to keep him in check.

3. Too bad. To paraphrase one of Trump’s faviourite stories – they knew he was a snake when they nominated him.

4. He’s either going to unhinge, or be so drugged up he’ll be slurring his speech and falling asleep…again.

5. I hope he does because that’s who he really is

6. That scene from A Few Good Men keeps going through my mind

   > Kaffee : I think he wants to say it. I think he’s pissed off that he’s gotta hide from this.

7. I’m fully expecting it. All she has to do is make him mad. He’s got no filter.

8. As a non-party affiliated moderate voter from AZ, I love it when candidates go on unhinged rants and racist/sexist attacks instead of talking about issues I care about. I’ll definitely vote for that person!

   /s

9. 100%. People have been aware for weeks.

   There’s a chance he goes nuclear volatile tomorrow night.

10. This is them setting the expectation so when he **doesn’t** do these things, it’s considered a resounding victory for him.

11. Somebody’s gonna put a felon in their place.

12. Do we really want an 83-year-old spoiled rich brat running the country in three years?

13. I really hope that’s how it happens.

    He will be utterly owned by Harris.

14. MSM will call it a triumph if Trump can keep from saying the N word during the debate.

15. Really want Trump to have his fragile ego broken which causes a racist and misogynistic attack live on TV.

16. Yeh, and after a million outlets have published articles like this he’s obviously going to do the reverse of this and we’re all going to be floored by his impeccable control in not using the N or B words /s

17. Guess what, I don’t believe a damn word of **whatever the Trump campaign says**. There’s misdirection on top of misinformation at the moment. The debate is going to be what it is, the speculation game, even “worries from Trump’s *advisors, allies, inner-circle*” is absolutely unreliable in every way 

     Bullshit is on parade.

18. I hope so. Dear Dog Please let this happen. Amen.

19. Dude said he wants to have migrants executed at the border. Not an exaggeration, he said executed. A presidential candidate said he wants people executed.

    Let that sink in.

20. They are just lowering the bar for him, that’s all. As if he doesn’t go off on those things means he does well in the debate.

21. Let’s take a moment to really consider this. These people know that Trump likes throwing around racist and misogynistic insults. They know that he cannot control his base impulses to do so. They are worried about his impulse control in a debate setting. Yet, these people not only plan to vote for him to be POTUS, they are employed by him to get him elected to that office. What is wrong in their heads that this all seems ok?

22. Please . . . Oh please . . . Start with “uppity” and work your way up from there, Donnie, you can do it!

23. Let’s say he does. We can’t somehow hate him more and his fans aren’t going to care. If the two rape civil suits he lost didn’t do it already…

24. I’m not worried, I’m hoping.

25. This is so annoying. He’s not going to do this. And when he doesn’t, people will say “he wasn’t so bad! Look how presidential he was”

26. He won’t, and then the media will pat him on the back.

    I’m so sick of this.

27. This is stupid, because if he isn’t actually misogynistic or racist, they’ll declare that he won by that metric alone.

28. The bar is in hell. All he needs to do is show up and he’ll have done a good job.

29. This is just expectation management. Anything less than being outright racist and mysogynist is a win
