OFFICIAL Third Debate 10/19/16 Thread

If #Wrong! was a drinking game, no one here would be sober enough to drive right about now…

If Hillary in white is The Good Witch, I’d rather America be inside Her bubble than Trumps.

Beyond a microphone kill-switch he did as well as anyone could hope for.

Van Jones is an awesome lawyer, activist, organizer, and thinker. Well into a successful and important career, he worked for the Obama administration for a year, then was sadly pushed out as part of the fruitless appeasements to Republican critics.

Among other highlights during the CNN post-debate discussion, Jones vociferously and eloquently attacked Trump for his lack of patriotism (in refusing to express faith in the electoral process).

Five Nasal Wrongs…!
Four interruptions
Three Moderator talking to’s
Two changed subjects he wouldn’t answer…
And a Nose Pick on National TV!!!

The Boston Globe headline right now:

Trump won’t commit to accepting election results

I have a poor track record with this (I said Trump won the first debate, and the second was a draw) but I thought Hillary absolutely trounced Trump in this debate. He simply did nothing he needed to do to change the direction of the race. The same accusations of Hillary, Bush II, Clinton (and now Reagan) being a disaster and making bad deals, and how he will Make America Great Again, and scowling, sniffing, and insulting. Hillary was mostly positive, and if I wasn’t a conservative, she would have won my vote.

Does he only surround himself with yes men or is he simply incapable of taking advice?

The comments from post-debate viewers calling into C-SPAN are just painful.

She looks like she has been held hostage for months in a horrible setting.

Oh wait, she has.

The second comes from the first.

No, Van Jones claimed you couldn’t polish that specific turd. It was Anderson Cooper who pointed out that you couldn’t polish any turd, really.

I should have added that Jones is perhaps best known for his urban green ideas and activism – things like incentivizing environmentally friendly product manufacturing, construction, and urban agriculture, in ways that also help the underemployed, people of color, and victims of environmental injustice.

(Sorry for the hijack…but someone did ask).

Wiki describes him as a commentator who contributes to CNN…he also has a background as an activist.

One of the protestors seems to be having trouble controlling his sign.

:D. I think it was George Burns who said “It’s too bad all the people who know how run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair.” Well now one of them is finally running for president!

Even Foxnews is running the unwillingness to accept the results as their lead story. I’d say I was impressed, but it probably has more to do with the hint that trumptv is now their competitor.

George Takei tweets: I hear the bathrooms in Trump Tower are being relabeled “Bad Hombres” and “Nasty Women.”

Trump knows nothing about cutting hair.

I did notice the less orange appearance first thing.

It’s the headline on every news site.

It’ll fire up his base and piss off everyone else (and a few members of his base.) A disastrous comment in what was otherwise his best debate performance.

As others have pointed out, even without it he didn’t do enough because fighting Clinton to a tie isn’t good enough when you’re seven points behind with 20 days to go. But that alone lost him a point in the polls. Stick a fork in him.
