OFFICIAL Third Debate 10/19/16 Thread

what the hell? Back to protecting other countries?

The economy, which will last four minutes and then we’ll be back to insults. Clinton hitting her talking points and she’s all over the place. It’s like she’s trying to state her entire plan - oh, she name dropped Bernie.

Trump’s writing notes as Clinton speaks, that’s new. He looks red.

Trump claims Clinton will double your taxes. Oh, he’s back to Japan, Germany… wtf?

It’s hair, all the way down.

Why didn’t I think about that 45 minutes ago. Count me in.

He’s going back to try to make a point in the last question instead of answering the one about taxes. Stop living in the past Donald!

I wish Clinton would say this about the whole “allies have to pay thing”:

If our allies fall, or switch allegiances, and take their money, their trade, and their influence from us, then you will WISH we allowed them to be protected for free. The reason we have them pay isn’t to shake them down for protection money. Its because we know that it would cost the US a lot more if the world is not under our direct influence.

Word salad and sentence fragments…

She’s Batwoman!

Trump: NATO’s gonna prop up our economy!

This just in from breakingnews.com

Fragment salad

Now he’s talking about the “Obama regime”. :rolleyes:

And he’s anti-NAFTA. Perfect.

Mr. Moderator - how about getting Mr. Trump to answer the question?

“Nothing but money? Donald, are you aware that just today Saudi Arabia came to the bond markets to help them cover years of deficit spending?”

Fuck man, if I know this stuff surely she must also

Trump started pretty well (for him) but he’s just can’t answer questions coherently now.

“We’re gonna do a lot of things…” Oh, Donald. WHAT THINGS?

Also, interesting how, earlier in the debate, Wallace was getting Donald to stay on track…but not this time – he’s just letting him ramble. Maybe better that way.

Honestly I think it’s just a nervous tic.

Trump is doing much better in this debate, with some help from Matthews. The questions are playing right into his talking points.

“President Obama’s regime”? Presidents now have regimes?

T: “We’re gonna end all these bad trade deals by free trade!”

C: Let me translate this, Chris, If I can."

Hee.

No one can translate Trumpese into English! No one!

And, yes, Clinton’s strong on the debt. Not that I like deficit hawks, necessarily, but it surely hits Trump hard.
