Trump Planned Debate 'Stunt', Invited Bill Clinton Accusers to Rattle Hillary

The four women planned to walk in the debate hall at the same time as the former president and confront him in front of a live television audience, according to sources close to the situation.
"We were going to put the four women in the VIP box," Trump supporter and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani was quoted as saying by the Washington Post. "We had it all set. We wanted to have them shake hands with Bill, to see if Bill would shake hands with them."
The newspaper said the plot was nixed by Frank J. Fahrenkopf, the debate commission's co-chairman and a former Republican National Committee chairman, who warned that security personnel would remove the women.
Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said Hillary knew about what he called an "awkward stunt at the beginning of the debate."

I know I know we can't apply reason or common sense or any human element to them. They exist merely to encourage the already decided by doing what the deplorables demand.

(5,269 posts)Donnie must be sad/mad that his despicable revenge plot against Hillary backfired, wasting precious time and money.
His nasty stunt didn't even make the slightest dent in Hillary's armor and by end of her outstanding performance, Hillary and Bill were happily greeting onlookers, taking selfies while the haters were glumly escorted out

(3,266 posts)how exponentially more idiotic America would have appeared before the world? Thank GOD Fahrenkopf and the commission put the kabash on that. Thank. Effing. God. That kind of Jerry Springer-esque stunt would have stripped the last sorry shred of dignity left surrounding this whole shitshow of an election.
It's a crying shame Hillary Clinton didn't get to run against a digified, serious opponent worthy of her skills.
I still say all the other (R) candidates half-assed it and let Trump be the nominee because NONE of them wanted to be the one to go down in history losing to a woman. They just seriously underestimated what a cockup their guy would turn out to be.
