Trump Debate Invitees Just Meat For The Base

You never know what Donald Trump will do at any time, especially during a debate. That’s why I likened watching these debates to the final 25 laps of a NASCAR race at Talladega – you’re just waiting for the big wreck. And apparently campaign CEO Steve Bannon, former head of Breitbart News, is encouraging Trump to go all in tonight. When it comes to the issues, he would rather talk about his positions because he really doesn’t have any. He will spend most of the time focusing entirely on Clinton by harping on the email server, Benghazi!, the Clinton Foundation, her supposed failed record, and corruption, once again highlighting Bill Clinton’s infidelities. To that end, Trump has apparently invited to the debate supporters of those who survived and died at Benghazi. And the campaign has also invited a woman who came forward today in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News to say she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton in 1980. Their final invitee is the estranged half-brother of President Obama. I doubt that any of these invitees will be featured in the debate very much but they are all meat for the alt-right base – Benghazi, Bill Clinton’s infidelities, and the birther myth. The fact that Obama’s half-brother and another Bill Clinton accuser are there perhaps misses the point that it is Hillary Clinton on the ballot.
