This is the second time he's pulled this.

Then again, the press is in full on feeding frenzy mode. We thought there was blood in the water after the Khans, but right now, there's a ship dumping chum in by the dumptruck.

Why would anyone in the Trump campaign think a complete media blackout is a good idea? Like, what on earth would make them think letting everyone else control the narrative is a good idea?

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Here's my only arzy about tonight. The reluctant Trump endorsers have been predictably wrong and off tempo the entire election. Just watch them all end up on the wrong side of abandonment. Trump wins (the debate, not the election. he's hosed there.) and then they all have to slink back to him miserably.

Nothing Trump could do or say at a press conference would be spectacular enough to change the narrative, not right now. Trying to defend it at all just makes the hole deeper, and trying to change the topic will just get ignored.

I think the debate actually works in his favor. He will have to confront the question, but at some point hte moderator will be obligated to move on to other topics. Not so for a press feeding frenzy. And there's always a chance that a massive Hillary flub will creating competing narratives, or just that Trump will go full metal WHY IS YOUR HUSBAND SUCH A CHEATER HUH?, which isn't a great narrative for Trump but it's still better than the current one.

"Leak fee" probably means the contractual penalty for leaking poo poo.

Does Trump understand that he will not be the next President of the United States? Or does he genuinely believe he still has a chance?

Normal people have no way of knowing what he is thinking, but I'm curious.

Probably an NDA set up with Trump prior to filming that basically prevents anything that wasn't approved for the final cut from getting out.

That guy is paranoid, remember? To even volunteer for his campaign you have to sign an NDA.

They're wrong, possibly, about who runs the party but they were basically never wrong about how hosed he was going to be in the general under real scrutiny. Their more likely miscalculation is that dumping him will end up hurting the GOP more than it helps, not so much that Trump is hosed.

My two cents on the hand shake.

Clinton's uses death glare and pre-wins the debate. Note DG might be a massive eye laser. RIP the stuff and buildings behind Donnie. Also Clinton paid the sound people to play the music when Vegeta uses the Final Flash on Cell.

fake edit: Omega Effect and it targets all the GOP. The Kochs live forever on a hypersonic plane followed by a red laser that "taunts" them.

I believe one of the producers said something along the lines of "Believe me, if that footage existed, we would have shown it". Referring to one of the contestants saying it.

The fee for breach of contract when you violate the NDA, presumably.

Mark Burnett is the producer of The Apprentice. The contracts that the crew signed presumably had a $5 million fine for breaking the NDA, so whoever has the tape won't leak it without $5 million to pay the fine.
