Second POTUS Debate thread Sing-along and discussion

My takeaway: Trump lives to see another day.

I don’t know. I thought she gave a non-answer and his at least pertained to the race. I wish she would’ve given that one a bit more thought.

Hillary took the easier, better answer. Trump did the best he could. On that last question, that is. No one is going to care about how either one of them answered that question 5 minutes from now.

I thought it was a great answer for him to give because it made him look like less of an asshole. It seemed like genuine respect, and I didn’t think he was capable of that.

As I said, Mrs. Clinton gave him the opening and example to compliment her on her family. He couldn’t do it tho so he complimented her on being a fighter who will never give up.

Blitzer just announced
Trump 40:10
Clinton 39:40

What he wants here is to signal to his faction that the breakaway from other GOP leaders is not because of a problem *he *has but because of a problem *they *have. And his faction will want to believe.

She has the STAMINA. I said STAMINA. She has the STAMINA.

Sorry I’m late.
Trump drinking game: You have to take a sip every time he sniffles.

Jesus, I threw up three times.

His faction is not enough to come close to even sniffing a win, he needed to convince regular republicans and some independents at least and he did absolutely nothing to get them.

Not the first time Trump has made me throw up.

It is something that sounds and feels like it would come from him, it meshes with his temperament and his history in the campaign.

PS- Did anyone here ever figure out what he meant when he said “17 exploded”?

Has any candidate ever threatened to jail their opponent before? Steve Smith called Trump a “Banana Republican.”

Also, when he said “Syria is Russia” … has he already made a deal to allow Putin to take over Syria?

Also when he said he wanted more nuclear weapons… he wants to scrap all of the SALT treaties?

Anyone who ran against Eugene Debs maybe?

Agreed. Though I’ll add that it’s a depressing choice. Hillary by default, but the whole Neocon Light FP…

…okay. I’ve just received a very strange PM from a mod, threatening me with a warning if I continue my behavior. I’m completely confused, but that also means I’m out of this thread and the other until I get clarification.

I’m going to call this one for Trump

  1. Appears to know more about how the economy works than Clinton does.
  2. She really floundered on a couple of questions.
  3. BIG TRUMP POINTS - If you wanted to change things, why didn’t you as Senator?
  4. Style over substance - no CrazyDon and Clinton looking like the smug elitist listening to all of his answers.

The problem is campaign-wise, Trump winning the debate is like patching up a cut femoral artery with a band-aid.

Really? That’s the dumbest thing talking point. Individual senators set all policy? News to me.
