Top US Psychiatrist: Hillary Should Drop Out of Monday's Debate – She Could Get Hurt Badly (VIDEO)
2016-09-24
[GP] Top American psychiatrist and author Dr. Keith Ablow told FOX Business Network he would advise Hillary Clinton to skip the debate on Monday. She could get hurt badly.

"Dr. Ablow: How do I think she should prepare? I think she should say I'm going to hold three press conferences, I'm not doing the debates. Because it's like the third rail. I don't know that debating Donald Trump is something you can plan for great success with. It's like getting in the ring with Muhammad Ali. Because you got the rodeo clown and the skilled boxer in one person. In a way if I would have been advising Hillary Clinton I would say listen, say that he's a reality TV host that's been beyond the pale and simply don't debate... I think she could get hurt and hurt badly."

"I think she could get hurt because Donald Trump says things that are true. He says things that are unfettered, the naked truth."

I've never thought she could stand the rigors of a debate. We'll soon find out.

#19  I avoided the need for brain bleach by cladding them in iron maiden suits.

#17  Heck she couldn't handle Zack Galifiankas (sp?).

The camera hates her so much, it didn't even give her 15 pounds.

The camera was found two days later in a park, apparently it hit its cpu with a hammer 3 times.

#16  Assange has stated the day of the debate he will release his files on Hillary!

Any idea if he gives a pre-release to Team Trump to study?

#15  Srsly, these days off might be for a different sort of debate prep, a tweaking and proving as it were.

#14  Matt, you forgot laughers and screamers. A slim but non-zero she goes HST and sees blood in the carpet and demands Lester Hold take off his Lizard suit.

#13  @#5: With appropriately clad Elizabeth Warren/Nancy Pelosi/Ruth Ginsburg as "Ring Girls?"

#12  I've always thought her campaign would come apart after she tried to debate. She isn't good at it and with the trouble she is halving trying to keep the battleground states is nothing compared to what it will be if she self destructs on live TV.

Pretty much all Trump has to do is not come off as bat-shit crazy and look presidential for 90 minutes.

#11  Look for all sorts of 'techincal difficulties' during the debates. If Trump was smart he would have his own video crew to capture what happens during those 'technical difficulties'.

It is always recommended to have your own video crew when being interviewed by the media because they will creatively edit it.

#10  So she may not be able to handle a debate, but she's totally ready to deal with Putin and the ayatollahs?

Or is this all a rope-a-dope to drastically lower the bar?

#8   1- What has NBC told the moderator, Lester Holt, to do if Hills coughs/faints/goes cross-eyed? What are the cameras going to do?

2- If Holt sticks his beak in, and he will, is the Donald better off going after Holt ("Lester, we all know what your game is...") or staying focused on HRC?

3- Just how doped up will HRC be? Uppers, downers, anti-seizure?

4- Is the Donald going to pay the slightest bit of attention to the debate "rules", and what happens if he doesn't?

#7  If Hillary doesn't get to be President she gets a free Orange Boiler Suit.

#6  90 minutes and no commercial breaks. The coughing, wandering eye, physical collapse and battery drain on the Hillbot will be exciting

#5  I think that they should go with a boxing match type intro.

March them out to blaring music and strobe lights.

Could be entertaining.

#4  She's not going to drop out. She wants the presidency so badly, she would do anything to get it ("Yes anything!). She expects it, it was promised to her, she thinks she is entitled to it and by damn she'd better get it. Besides, she's got her eyes on some of the boodle in the WH that she didn't steal the first time.

#3  The only thing I feel fairly certain about regarding this debate is that one of the candidates is going to do a face-plant that will significantly affect the outcome of the election.

Problem is, I don't know which one...

#2  Personally, I hope she doesn't drop out.

#1  My little heart is already going pitter-pat and I'm beginning to get a flush. Excitement just waiting for the debate.
