Nice use of psychological warfare by the Clinton camp.

Wow, Cuban has been such attention whore this entire process. I think he's just upset because some other billionaire is front and center and not him.

Trump should invite Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, and Juanita Broaddrick (women whom Bill took advantage of) as front-row guests.

Which "other billionaire" are you talking about?

That would actually be kinda witty.

Bloomberg?

Help Trump prepare here: https://gop.com/DEBATE-PREP-SURVEY/

A gem here:

Do you think Trump should refer to Hillary as “Crooked Hillary” on stage?

I like how anyone, even people who want Trump to lose the debate, can answer questions (I took the quiz myself), and how Trump's entire debate strategy is pretty much laid out. Genius on Trump's part.

I'm almost tempted to vote a bunch of times using a die. Maybe we should all do that

Gennifer Flowers has agreed to join Trump at the debate.

If Trump wanted to find an easy way to get suburban white women to be sympathetic to Hillary again, he might have just done it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Clinton campaign calculated that he'd invite one of Bubba's former mistresses.  They're several moves ahead of him.

Trump should invite Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, and Juanita Broaddrick (women whom Bill took advantage of) as front-row guests.

Also, kudos to this guy for calling it.

Well played Hillary. Depending on what Trump does/says, this may hurt him greatly among women.

Plus it makes the debates look like an episode of Jerry Springer.

[Gass3268]

That will go over well with suburban white women...

Trump campaign is so stupid.

[Angel of Death]

If, against some odds, the debate turns out to be a (relatively) boring event, whom would that help more? Clinton, because the dynamics would stay the same? Or Trump, because he would have come across as a more normal person than usual?

[heatcharger]

Not sure I disagree, but what is the logic of this?

The logic on Trump's side is he's so thin-skinned he couldn't let Cuban sit at the debate without some sort of "counterattack".

Of course, he's too dumb to realize that trying to shame a woman for her husband's infidelities will make him look like a total ass.

I'm looking forward to when he says, "and by the way, your husband is a total sleazebag and cheat, just look at Gennifer Flowers over there". Suburban women will love it.

Exactly, Trump essentially took the side of the "other woman." Hillary's approvals were her highest during Bill's issues. Also it shows that Cuban is already in Trump's head.

[Seriously?]

So, Hillary Clinton wants to seat Mark Cuban in the front row to taunt the Donald, eh?

The Donald fought back with an epic Tweet:

Donald J. Trump  ‏@realDonaldTrump
If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

To which Gennifer said:

Gennifer Flowers‏ @gennflowers

Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!...💋

Best election ever... Hands down....

[Gass3268]

This is such a stupid move by Trump. He has nothing to gain out of this and it will only hurt him even more with women.

Disagree 1000%. Even liberal CNN and MSNBC will have to tell millennials who Gennifer Flowers is. I'd seat Juanita Brodderick right next to Gennifer if I were Trump, so we can talk about Bill's little rapey rape.

Ftfy

Not at all. I actually wrote a post in this forum, arguing that Trump should do this. It's great because now people are googling Gennifer Flowers to see who she is (especially young voters), and they are reminded of how sick, perverse, and demented the Clintons are.

It helps him gain with men, all gender politics is a trade off, he was never going to win women but overwhelming her amongst men is very doable

Lol.  Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers, and Juanita Broaddrick, should be Trump's 3 honored front row guests. That would be EPIC. Hillary enabled her husband's rape and abuse of women for decades because of her insatiable lust for power.
