The more aggressive, out of control and generally Trump-like Trump gets the more unpopular he gets. If that's his plan then Hillary basically just needs to show up and make general policy sounding noises to appear presidential while Donald makes a buffoon out of himself.

Let trump be trump in it's final form. No media, no establishment, just him and his supporters vs the clinton mob. He might do some damage before going down in flames.

I wonder if Trump will actually try to focus on policy tonight.
Attack Hillary will not work, He is going to have to defend himself a lot and needs something to draw attention away. I expect him to focus a lot on his policies (in sofar as they exist) to draw the fight away from his persona.

Reports are up it was because they feared Trump suing them. The Post broke it instead, because they report the news, not entertainment. Broadcast news is completely toothless at this point.
Edit: I'm really enjoying the delusion Trump being more aggressive will somehow earn him undecided votes. There are not many demographics he can insult at this point. He got all of them.

The first questions will apparently be about the tape and Clinton will answer first.

The way for Trump to do some real damage would have been to present his 'out there' ideas in a presidential manner. Going full buffoon does nothing but focus the attention on him and his flaws instead of whichever subjects help his case.

He should honestly just apologize in a sentence or two and just shift into policy. If it is brought up AGAIN then he should just deflect onto juanita.
whats actually going to happen: he's going to get baited left and right and is going to end up looking bad.

Why? She isn't talking on the tape. "Do you condemn these bad things Trump said?" HRC: "yes, they are bad". What a waste of the public's time. Here are some good questions on the subject:
"DJT, how many other tapes are out there of you discussing your moves on women?"
or
"DJT, what will you say when the next tape of you bragging about groping women comes out?"
or
"DJT, what is your plan to grow up in the next three weeks?"
or
"DJT, who have you kissed without waiting for permission?"
or
"DJT, who have you just 'grabbed by the pussy' and gotten away with it?"

How can it not be the first question? It is the entire news cycle right now.

Cruz: Dude, I finally endorsed him a week ago. Do you have any idea how stupid this makes me look? Why the hell couldn't you release it earlier? I could have been President!

If Trump plays it cool he could always apologize and say he has reformed. I can only see him being baited by an assertion from Hillary and rants about how he actually loves women, or calls out Bill's infidelity.

I'm not sure but his outrage just seems so fake here it's funny.
Would Cruz have actually won against Hillary though?

Do you remember when everyone thought Cruz was some kind of Republican Genius? A master debater even! Cruz is hands down the worst political strategist of our age.
Sucks up to Trump when he could be stopped.
Stands up to Trump AFTER the nomination.
Sucks up to Trump when the polls look okay.
Tries to wriggle out of sucking up two days after the tapes drop.
EDIT: do you remember Cruz's government shutdown? Where Obama said ... no ... and he got nothing? Such genius!

Any of the other candidates would have won.

That is totally not true. Cruz is as big of a shitlord as Trump and I am sure there is endless dirt on him too. The man is hated even within the GOP. Kasich might have done well, but even he would have a hard time pulling any minority groups or independent women.
The entire GOP line up this year was a dumpster fire.

This is still gold and holds up well a year later:

Carson? Come on. Bush maybe, he appeared to be able to play the game well enough to appeal to the middle but there were some crazies in there. Carson and his pyramids weren't getting elected.

The real loser in all of this, is Bernie. He started a movement and sold out and lost to the very thing he was fighting against. Trump doesn't give a shit if he loses, he's still rich and is going to go into retirement, or start a new media empire. Bernie will be forgotten as a sellout, if he didn't endorse HRC though he would have been remembered.
