If he can get here angry early on, she will fall trap to his game. He will be good as gold, because no one outdoes him in a name-calling rage fest. We have become a culture of complete trash, and he is the King of Trash.

But, whether he throws her off balance early by getting her angry, none of this will matter.

I'd be willing to bet pennies to dollars he'll come out as pleasant as he can be. She'll be expecting him to drop a name here and there and she will try to provoke him. But I'd bet he plays nice and innocent and let's her hang herself.

Nothing will surprise me with him. He's a loose cannon in a nation now full of them. I will say, however, given that he is not a serious policy debater in any shape or form, that's a risky approach as he will actually shape the discourse in such a way that it demands he say something substantive. It's risky, but, if he can somehow manage, it could very well work.

He'll do what any politician does in that circumstance. He'll lightly dance around the question without really answering it and then give a prepared response to a question he wanted to be asked but wasn't.

The creator of the comic strip Dilbert has switched his allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump and says he believes the billionaire has already won the White House.

The comic creator originally said, last year, that he wouldn't be picking a side in the upcoming presidential election, though he would often say favorable things about Trump, predicting the businessman would successfully edge out his many opponents in the Republican primary.

Can someone explain to me why Donald Trump doesn't pay federal taxes and I do?

Is it because of "trickle down," otherwise known as "piss on my head" economics?

If so, it's not working very well.

Is it because of his ability to afford better lawyers than me?

Can someone explain to me how someone who refuses to pay federal taxes can "Make America Great Again"? Similarly, how can someone who refuses to contribute to our national budget be a patriot?

Trump strikes me as a regular Colin Kaepernick. All mouth, no substance, and anti-American.

paying no taxes and having no federal tax liability are different things.

the short answer is that Congress has buggered up the tax code so much with special interest loopholes that it is possible to have zero federal tax liability depending on the timing and nature of revenue and expenses.

Having zero federal tax liability has nothing to do with patriotism, contributing to this country, etc.

I seriously doubt he paid "no taxes"

Perhaps, but the fact that he will never release his tax returns does not work in your favor.

What is Crooked Hillary Pal Don hiding?

So, we're closing in on October, which is going to be a big month.

Two total wildcards at play next month:

1. Will the media report Trump's big pedophile case, since it also implicates Bill?

2. What will Russia's SVR hack...I mean, Wikileaks "October surprise" reveal to us about Trump's pal, Hill? Will we get a first peak into those secret deleted emails?

Didn't Assange already guarantee more emails to come? He needs to release them about a week before election when it's still new news.

And congress has screwed the tax code because the members of congress are greedy pieces of dung who put their own interests far ahead of the country. Tax code manipulation is the payoff for campaign finance and other bribes, and campaign finance reform among other abuses can only be changed by congress - unless the administration and judiciary start the ball rolling on fraud in campaign finances and how legislation is written and passed, but there's not much chance of that. So until the day that the people have finally had enough, pull out a guillotine, and start lopping off heads ...

Bad news for Democrats - if and when it finally bubbles to the surface - has a shelf life of only a few days. The media ensure a short expiration date and recall. Now Trump and Rosie O'Donnell by contrast may linger into infinity.

I couldn't agree with you more, AirVol. More valuable American state secrets need to be made public just so our warped perception of a leader can be elected, because, you know, patriotism.

Who said he didn't pay any federal taxes except for Hillary and now you? That argument is straight out of the playbook from Harry Reid's smear on Romney in the last election. You hate Trump so much, you are willing to go along with her strawman arguments. How Republican of you. Trump and a lot of other people and businesses like him are under constant audit from the IRS. Don't you think we would have heard by now if he had committed fraud from the fair and balanced IRS? Tax law is complex but applied literally. If he has/had income at any level of entity or personally, he paid the tax. There is no right or wrong, there is only the tax law. If he arranged his affairs to pay less, he is smarter than those who paid more. Paying more is not patriotic...it is STUPID.

I missed the first part of the debate. But I came in right when Trump was trashing NATO, Japan, and South Korea for supposedly not paying the U.S. for housing troops in their countries. This was the first thing I saw on twitter this morning.

"Japan pays ~$1.7B/yr to support stationing of US troops, South Korea ~$900MM. Their contributions rise w/ inflation"
