Tonight is the night. Former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton squares off against Donald J. Trump in what should be the shit-show of the century. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I would just be tuning in for the mere entertainment if it weren't for the fact I actually felt the need to vote for one of them. Yes, yes, I know. I'm voting for one of the major party candidates (more accurately, I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton). As an avid Bernie supporter, I agree with him when he said in the MSNBC interview that Donald Trump as president would be a disaster, and my vote means too much to be given to anyone other than Trump's biggest contestant: Hillary Rodham Clinton. So here's a few things that I can bet will happen tonight during the debate.
1. Trump will continuously refer to HRC as "Crooked Hillary"
(we already know this will happen because of the snapchat filter which Trump probably paid a fuck-ton for just to be a sliding option for every snapchat user)
2. Hillary Clinton will say something that will be referred to as a "clap-back".
It will go viral on twitter because it'll be tweeted by a white-feminist celebrity like Lena Dunham or Cher.
3. Hillary Clinton will refer to something in pop culture. Donald Trump may or may not come at her for this.
(see past references, like "May The Force Be With You" at the end of Democratic Debate in December of 2015.)
4. Donald Trump will be sexist. The adamantly anti-Hillary will applaud and deny any traces of sexism and call it politics.
5. Drinking games will ensue, with prompts like, "Drink every time Donald Trump lies and it comes up on Politifact".
6. Politifact will gain a few thousand followers just during the first few moments of the debate.
7. Some people playing aforementioned debate drinking game will end up in the hospital due to over-consumption of alcohol and/or what being blackout drunk might make you do while listening to Donald Trump's horrible voice drone on.
8. Someone behind a Trump supporter will give the most glorious stink-eye on camera.
9. Hillary will "win the debate", and it'll be said so on news networks Tuesday morning.
10. Donald Trump will claim he won the debate regardless of what news networks and twitter polls have to say.
He will then claim that the questions were unfair to him and use that as leverage in his campaign of outsiders to the political system.
Believe me, I'm as anxious for this debate as the rest of you. So tune in to CNN to see if I'm right, or to pray that I'm wrong. Either way, I'll follow this up on twitter and I will be live tweeting the debate. @radelhuley. See you there.
