POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD
Cappytaino:
The Clinton Campaign has been trying to paint Annoying Orange as unstable, explosive, and aggressive. If he keeps it cool and sticks to debating policy and resisting Hillary's attempts to bait him into insulting her, he will surely win the debate because A. Hillary is a stuff debater and B. It will poke big holes in the Clinton Campaign's narrative.
SeventhSandwich:
debates are pretty stupid. neither candidate will get hit with hardball questions and we probably won't learn anything new about them.
who 'wins' the debate will depend pretty much entirely on which news source you read, and the effect that the debates will have on polls will largely be based on gaffes rather than how well they actually debate policy.
so yeah, i'm watching the debates, but you can't make me enjoy it.
Cappytaino:
To be honest I would much rather see a Lincoln-Douglas style debate in which there is no moderator. I think it would be both entertaining and informative, if Hillary doesn't seize five mintues in, of course.

only reason nixon lost is because he wore that light suit

I wouldn't, it would just end up with Annoying Orange going on the offense immediately, putting Hillary out of her element and then the two would start exchanging stuffty insults because neither of them have any wit.
I'd much rather them discuss their policies and goals but that's forget-all because mouth breathing handicaps (See: the average voter) don't vote based on those things
