here’s a speculation that has some appeal, but is by no means certain.
last night we saw the donald let several openings go by without taking a swing at them. why would he do that?
in a word, timing.
if hillary gets crushed and collapses now in late september, this leaves the jackass party with over a month to develop and deploy “plan b.” (creepy joe biden? michelle obama? kaine? sanders?)
if the donald pulls some punches at this stage of the game, and manages to come out of the first one or two debates with a more or less draw, then lets the hammer fall on hillary in mid to late october… hillary unravels like a cheap, poorly wrapped burrito – collapses, gets twitchy, passes out on stage, goes into an hysterical tirade, (or some combination), whatever – leaving the jackasses only a couple weeks to deploy “plan b.”
as i mentioned above, this scenario has a certain amount of appeal, but is only a speculation.
