What are the chances Trump physically attacks Hillary Sunday night?

[liberal N proud]

[Hugin]

1. Non-zero...

And he's going to have a chair. He could go full Jerry Springer on her!


Scary, but, true.

[jpljr77]

22. This was my thought as well. It's >0%

That that, in itself, is shockingly unacceptable.

Is he actually going to do it? Of course not. But the mere fact that there is at least some chance is heartbreaking for our electoral system.

[Hugin]

24. I know... Isn't it a horrible indication of the state of our nation.

But, it will make us appreciate our new President so much more.

If the obstructionists finally relent.

[jpljr77]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (sorry)

"obstructionists finally relent"

It's all they have. They will never, ever, in a million year, EVER relent to a non-white/non-male/non-Republican president....ever. This is the new normal.

Hopefully, though, we can claim a chamber and damage their standing in the other and make their obstructionism more difficult.

[Hugin]

37. I'm so sorry for how President Obama has been treated.

He is a very brave and persevering man.

It's going to turn out that his greatest legacy is not the ACA, but, the fact he has successfully completed two terms in office.

Also, a sad sad statement on the conditions in a 21st century United States.

[tandem5]

45. yeah non-zero was the first thing to pop in my head too.

There's a pretty hefty vanity shield that protects him from taking direct physical action, but I definitely think there are a series of events that have the potential to momentarily circumvent those protections causing him to lash out unexpectedly (even for him).

[Siwsan]

2. Not saying that there might not be some accidental spittle action, but direct contact? Nah

He isn't quite that stupid, and he is more than quite a coward.

I am sure he will go off the rails, though, and get quite inappropriately personal. Hopefully the moderator will surprise us all, and stop things if they get off track.

3. I'm not being entirely sarcastic here

but do you think his handlers might sedate him to some degree to keep him from going entirely off the rails? Not referring to physical violence but to extreme crazy rants.

(I hope not. I want the criminal to go full nutso - again -on the public stage.)

[ailsagirl]

38. He shouldn't be sedated

People need to see how crazy he is, IMO

As long as guards are standing by with gigantic nets, it shouldn't be a problem

[spiderpig]

43. Maybe tranquilizer darts just in case?

[ailsagirl]

46. Yes! Viable alternative

[baldguy]

4. Like most bullies, Trump is a physical coward.

[NewJeffCT]

10. agreed

he is a big chicken.

[LiberalFighter]

17. My thoughts too.

[Gothmog]

32. I also agree

Trump is a bully and a coward

[Maru Kitteh]

39. That clip NEVER gets old.

[geek tragedy]

5. 5% nt

[apnu]

6. About as small as Trump's hands. (nt)

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Nah, won't happen. At worst, he'll scream an obscenity. . .

. . .such as the "B-word"

If he does, HRC should look at him and say "that word is going to become an acronym
for: Boys. I'm Taking. Charge. Here."

Yeah yeah, it's fantasy. But it would just reinforce the argument that he has no self-discipline or temperament to be POTUS.

[Lucinda]

30. Love it!

[zenabby]

36. Love the acronym!

Gonna use it ...

[OnDoutside]

8. A better chance if they got Springer to be the moderator ! Jerry ! Jerry ! Jerry !

[randome]

9. They can walk about on stage, right?

Clinton should walk behind him and stick two fingers up to give him rabbit ears.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]A ton of bricks, a ton of feathers, it's still gonna hurt.[/center][/font][hr]

[exboyfil]

11. The optics could be really bad for him

I get the feeling that he uses his size (even subconsciously) to intimidate others. Him towering over H. Clinton in her personal space would be on the cover of every newspaper.

I would think that his advisors would tell him to stay away from her.

[Peigan68]

12. There could be some chair throwing

[LiberalFighter]

18. Will Bobby Knight be there?

[Bad Thoughts]

34. Or Bobby Knight Ranger? eom.

[BSdetect]

13. A continues hissy fit expected

He has no self control and the mask of normalcy is very fragile.

She just needs to butt into his initial raving about the economy to trigger an outburst of rage that will persist till he explodes in one final rant of lunacy.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. After 90 minutes, he might push her out of the way to get to the bathroom.

Other than that, no.

[onenote]

15. If you are looking for a serious answer

It's zero. Sorry to be a killjoy.

[Blue Idaho]

16. Prepare for a calmer Trump...

A hot reaction in a town hall debate is suicide - so I suspect his campaign will manage his medication level. Of course if he does a couple of lines of Coke before he walks on stage - all bets are off.

[Hugin]

20. I sure hope you're correct. Trumpenstein has shown...

a high tolerance for the thorazine tranq darts his handlers have been using.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. Watch the Ms. Universe interview where he's creepily sitting next to her or

the Pastor at the black church who told him to chill. When face to face with these women he cowers like the frightened child that he is.......... Not that I'm implying it takes "courage" to bully women half you size. But you know what I'm saying.

[hamsterjill]

21. While I know he won't be able to get physical...

If he did, Hillary could knock the shit outta him and flatten his ass in 10 seconds.

He's a bully; he's not tough.

[jalan48]

23. Zero.

[Dem2]

26. Lol

[Loki Liesmith]

27. 0% He's a coward

and the secret service would drop him like a bad habit.

[vlyons]

28. He will definitely be sedated, unless

he gets his cocaine mixed up with his diazepam

[LisaM]

29. Frankly, I think she could take him.

Just sayin'....

[TSIAS]

31. Laughable

Do you really think he would actually walk over to Clinton and punch her in the face?

He'll certainly be tough verbally, but I don't believe even Trump would risk arrest and commit a physical assault.

[Croney]

33. I'm picturing him taking a swing at her

and completely missing, landing on the floor with his butt in the air. She wouldn't have to say a word, just look at the camera with that Jim Halpert look. I can dream!

[DrDan]

35. Zero

[cynatnite]

40. None. The secret service will frog march him off the stage if he does. n/t

[0rganism]

41. about the same as the secret service kicking his ass on live tv

honestly, that would be the best 90 minutes of TV since firefly

[pnwmom]

42. No. He only physically attacks women he thinks are hot. n/t

[meow2u3]

44. He only physically attacks women who are less powerful than he thinks he is. n/t
