Why don't we have a go at predicting how many times Trump will interrupt (the moderators and Clinton)?

I'll start: my prediction is 23 times

The debate is 90 minutes long, so the moderators should get 10 minutes and the candidates about 40 minutes each. That leaves 50 minutes where Trump will interrupt. I predict that he will interrupt twice a minute for a total of 100 times.

We can also predict how many times Hillary will deflect. I think there will be 3 difficult questions and 5 times that she responds to Trump's accusations directly. That gives her 8 opportunities to deflect, and I think she will deflect 9 times by apologizing for at least 2 things and employing multiple deflections a few times.

Thank you, indeed I didn't make allowance for the extended time, so am going to recast and add to my prediction!!

Trump will interrupt (moderators plus Hillary): 37 times.

Hillary will interrupt to object to Trump swiping her speaking time and talking over her: 15 times

Moderators will ask Trump to stop interrupting: 13 times

I don't know much about this moderator, but I think he will let a lot of interruptions go on uninterrupted. He will interrupt an interruption only 4 times, in my totally ignorant opinion.

Ooh. How many sniffs?

5000

ETA: Great response from Hillary to the first question, but she focused entirely on the first part. Trump's strength is in the second. He can remember one amendment.

Something's different about Trump's voice, but he does seem calmer this time around.

I would like to know if Trump knows another amendment. I'm burning to know, actually.

Perfect tone from Hillary on abortion. Trump has nothing but grotesqueries. Half point deduction from Hill. Ireland and Mississippi also prevent women from having medically necessary abortions.

The wall will stop heroin? Dude. Nice, Hillary. Make it personal

I love the Orwellian spin on Trump's immigration policy. Ooh the first serious jab on meeting with Mex Pres!

Point of order, is that one moderator interruption or two?

He will not respond to the allegation about his business practices.

Huge deflection from Clinton. That counts as her first two, it's so huge. Trump deflects everything, as usual.

Personally, I support an E.U.-like arrangement for the Americas, but I can see Hillary knows it isn't popular.

You're The Puppet? Total meme.

Huge flub from Trump. 17 intelligence agencies know nothing. The moderator throws a softball.

Good point on Trump believing Putin over 17 U.S. civilian and military intelligence agencies.

EDIT: Trump changed the topic from something that was likely to hurt Hillary to something that's likely to hurt him.

Trump fails to address job creation, except by somehow getting better trade deals than our current experts. Hillary's response was addressed to people who want more policy.
