I personally think Hillary will come out on top in all 3 debates, Trump will probably hurl insults at her and that will turn off undecided voters. What do you think?

Hillary will say she won't participate in insults and name calling and will instead just talk about the issues. Trump will try to participate in insults and name calling.

What will it even be like to have a debate without Sanders/Paul fanboys screeching after every answer?

Trump cool under pressure for the first 30 minutes and ignores every word Hillary says.

In the last 30 minutes, he comes out with the rabbit killers and Hillary is left with little room to move except for a few exasperating eyebrow raises.

Then CNN says Hillary wins debate.

Sound predictable. Well it is.

I hope they have more than three.

Trump will bring up every Clinton scandal of the past 30 yeas, legitimate and otherwise, and give Hillary a stupid nickname.

Clinton will scold him and say 'let's talk about the issues that  people care about' before launching into a diatribe on the transgender bathroom issue or the historical context of her campaign.

This. What will Trump have to gain in debates? Basically his only good comeback ever was his response to "New York values." Everything else has just been mocking his opponents for being losers, being ugly, or their low poll numbers, and repeating the same generic platitudes over and over. This might play okay in an audience of Republicans who will sometimes laugh and cheer, but with a purely silent audience and serious moderators and a serious opponent, he will look like a fool.

I would have to go with what IceSpear said. Though, I could see him trying one debate under the assumption that he thinks he can trounce Hillary by turning the debate away from policy and towards insults and petty attacks, however, I doubt that will work out for him.

I would love to see Hillary pull a "look at my poll numbers, they're yuge!" against Donald.

Agreed. Granted, it will have entertainment value, but probably not a whole lot else.

Hillary wouldn't agree to a debate and why should she when she is  +10 in every poll. LBJ refused to debate Goldwater and Hillary is almost polling as well as LBJ

There would be a fire storm and LBJ didn't have to handle social media and the amount of grassroots organization there is today
