Will Trump debate after his poor reviews at IAVA forum?

The big question - will he debate Hillary on September 26 - after seeing how clear, knowledgeable, and thoughtful she was tonight?

1. He is lazy and doesn't prepare.

He believes that his bullshit will carry him.

2. I can't decide

whether as you say, his ego makes him think he can do well - or if he has a small sliver of awareness that she will crush him. I just can't decide!

5. It's his ego - he thinks he will do well no matter what.

I don't care how many times he debate preps with scumbag Roger Ailes, it won't matter. When he's on that stage with Hillary her goal will be to get to his ego. Once she does that it's all over.

8. I'm pretty sure his ego

never lets him down - his ego, along with a huge helping of delusional thinking, and no conscience. Hopefully this trifecta will be his downfall.

3. I think his staff is face-palming about now.

Oh they'll SAY he did great. Spin....spin...spin. But make no mistake, they know he face-planted tonight.

9. You can't fake being smart. Any truly intelligent person will see through your bullshit.

Hillary is actually smart.

This is not a personality contest. This is an election to be Commander in Chief of our nation. The more he debates, the more obvious it will be that he is intellectually unqualified for the position.

4. I sure hope so, but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't

I loved how his gloves came off tonight, if that will be any indication.

6. A presumed Trump supporter told me this.

This was before tonight's forum. One of my healthcare professionals commented (as FOX played in the background, of course) that in the debates Trump just needs to keep Hillary from "pushing his buttons."

I thought... if I were a Republican and could tacitly admit, as this lady did, that Trump is that easily de-railed -- in a debate, no less! -- I sure wouldn't want him anywhere near the White House!

I also thought... too bad I can't say anything as she's got her hands in my mouth with a sharp instrument.

7. He actually thinks that he is the one who is clear, knowledgeable, and thoughtful.

Of course he will be at the debate. He's such brilliant speaker that he won't even try to debate, he'll just win because he's so great.

10. Of course he will.

After all, he views his Mexico trip as a "success", he'll see tonight likewise regardless of what anyone tells him otherwise. That just how he rolls. Or trolls. Or whatever.

I'm just back from event and trying to catch up on political news
