There are a lot of permutations here.Monday is so crucial. I expect Hillary to wipe the floor and get a consensus opinion that she slayed Trump. Of for whatever reason that doesn't happen, and even if there is a spilt opinion on who won the debate (i.e. Trump on the same stage is nationally viable), then he leads and doesn't look back. Truly a prize fight.
A big danger for Hillary is what if Trump is actually prepared on a factual policy issue and beats her on it?
That has a Green/Tyson quality to it. Hillary could win on 95% of the debate and lose on one issue and that will be the thing that sticks with people. He's a crafty SOB so I could see him preparing more in the background than people expect or that he has put out.
However I also think he sincerely respects her. I'm sure that surprises some, that I think that or that it could be true, but I'm expecting him to be largely respectful of her. I think the fireworks will go in other directions, but there will be fireworks.
I don't think anyone is prepared for him to be knowledgeable and prepared. He should show up and do that, know where Aleppo is and know what the Bush/Obama Doctrine is. Things like that. However I still don't know that he wants to win this.
In boxing terms: if he's serious he will go rope-a-dope.
