I wonder if the FCC is considering a TV-MA rating on this next debate.

Only 4 days to the last debate. Trump is running around being as inflammatory as he can get. So I doubt this last debate is going to be dignified and a sane discussion of policies. It may well be a Gotterdammerung performance by Trump.
I suspect it will be watched by many just to see the spectacle of the final melt down.

Are we sure Trump's not profiting from the debate ratings?
Because that would explain a lot, assuming this whole thing is just a money grab.

Does he HAVE to actually profit, if he can convince someone that he COULD be profiting from the ratings, somehow? His art is the deal, remember, not actually producing anything. Just promising that he will.

Tomorrow is the last debate. And it's only 20 days til election day. Then the recrimination phase of the election starts.

Okay, file this under "why the hell not?".
WHY don't the debate moderators have mute buttons on the candidates' mikes? Give them their two minutes, then a red light comes on. Ten seconds later, if they are still yakking, MUTE THEM. And keep them muted for the next 2 minutes of response. Shouldn't be that hard to keep them from acting like kids at recess in a schoolyard... might even force the discussion of some actual issues.
Thoughts?

That would work. Trump has definitely locked up the squid billy voters.

What does Trump expect to accomplish with this nonsense?

He's just playing 4d chess. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trump-is-playing-4d-chess
But seriously, he wants to get under Obama's skin, because he's a petty scumbag. That's about it, I think.

Obviously, he hasn't a clue how to turn this disaster coming down upon him around.

It's show time! Do you have your popcorn and beer? Will Trump meltdown? Will Hillary smirk a lot?
Will Trump interrupt a lot? What bizarre things will Trump say that will have us laughing tomorrow?
Will this orange Goblin King do the deed? Or screw up royally?

Malik Obama is a Hamas supporter. His evangelical supporters are very pro Israel. I wonder how that will go over with them. I'm going to post this on my FB page. I have some evangelical relatives who are Israel supporters and I want to blow their minds.

Conflicts with Survivor - which is a much more realistic and relevant exploration of human proclivities.
Maybe catch the last half hour, if Trump hasn't stormed out by then.

That'd be a bad idea. You don't invite someone to ridicule them. He can't say "I invited Obama's brother... and he supports Hamas."
