I thought the biggest winner was whoever gave the coke to Trump. (sniff sniff) Certainly got his energy up for the first 20 minutes, but then he crashed and got confused and angry.

See? I can post incoherent personal attacks too!

I would hope that you’re at least marginally embarrassed at associating yourself with such easily debunked bullshit.

I guess a guy can’t even complement her docs,

oh well.

Moving on, does anyone think that Hilldog will take up Trump’s email challenge?  
Everyone seems to want to see his tax info, so why wouldn’t she?

You’re not up on the latest conspiracy theory. Hillary faked her medical problems, even going so far as to hire a talented physical mimic to pretend to collapse on camera, to lower expectations for her health in the debate. She’s actually as strong as a mule. So all she had to do was show up and stay on her feet, and watch all those jaws drop from the rubes who bought that she was actually on death’s door, and she wins.

So he CAN release them if he wants to?

You can’t be serious. You’re not allowed to release tax returns that are under audit!

He has already released them to Obama’s IRS agents.

I don’t think Trump is in any position to make demands at this point. Sure, he can say dumb random shit all day, but who with an ounce of self respect is going to take him seriously?

Are there the e-mails with super-secret, classified information that Hillary carelessly stored on an unsecured server, and now he wants her to do the responsible thing and release them to the public?

But Trump is willing to man up and do what has been done freely by all other candidates for the past forty years…if someone comes up with the proper bribe.  
BTW, what the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is stopping him from releasing his tax records from last year or any of the previous five or so years? Are they ALL being audited at the same time? :rolleyes:

I think he said that he wants her to release e-mails that have already been deleted.

And not needing to take one sip of water. She’s learned how to debate for 90 minutes without getting dry mouth. So much for her lack of “stamina.”

Got to keep her powder dry for when Trump or a moderator brings up the Clinton Foundation.

She and Bill actually give money to their foundation, and there is no actual evidence of pay for play. Donald has other people give money to his foundation, and uses it to pay off his fines. But reminding people of the CF is not a good play - she needs to keep the TF crap available as fresh ammunition for the segment of the electorate that doesn’t follow this stuff.

Yeah, I know. I just think there’s a massive contradiction between “Hillary was criminally careless to use a private e-mail server that could be hacked” and “Hillary should release 30,000 e-mails for the whole world to see”.

Well, that’s clearly because the shape-shifting Reptilian people only need to drink once per week.

So he can show all the taxes that he never ever paid…?

She should tell him, “IF you manage to get elected President and obtain the proper security clearances, you can look at anything you want.”
