First presidential debate - September 26: Trump vs Hillary

[Breccia]

Direct questions from Lester to Trump about his biggest blips (Tax returns, birther), but nothing from Lester about her scandals

Um...he directly asked about the emails.

[Vanyali]

But shit is still shit....

One shit will give us the status quo. Not great, not awful.

one shit isn't aware of why using nukes is a bad idea, and claims they should be used as the go-to option.

[Rukh]

Hillary just got her ass handed to her...and she basically ha home field advantage with Holt moderating. Trump I'd going to coast to the presidency if she doesn't get her shit together.

L O L

Nice try though!

You've gotta be kidding... He hasn't answered a single question directly.

[Cyberowl]

All hail Queen of the Paint Suit!

Good thing it's not a summer dress or a latex suit!

[Rukh]

All hail Queen of the Paint Suit!

That's fabulous! I knew you'd come around.

[Breccia]

Makes the next debate much more interesting, will Trump be more aggressive? I bet he will.

He was plenty aggressive. He just didn't have a useful angle to attack a trained lawyer and politician with things he didn't know about.

But next time he will be more focused.

[alexw]

Well he is a Democrat.

OH RIGHT

Well there were two questions which were / seemed to be directed only at Trump - the birther one, and the question about accepting the final result.

However I don't think they mattered a jot. Trump went and blew it on just about everything. He was rambling, talking nonsense loads of times, bragging about not paying taxes, bragging that he got Obama to show his birth certificate, talking about lowering taxes on wealthy people like himself, on and on it went.

Hearing about all that stamina made me think of cringe anime

[Putin-Chan]

Who won the debate americans?

America won, target one eliminated, we'll get number two another time.

[PACOX]

What scares me the most about all of this is the fact some people do believe ether of these choices are good.

If tonight didn't prove how fucked up things are I don't know what will.

...no one except extreme die hards are saying that these 2 are the best candidate. For one, there will always be someone better. Secondly, they still beat out anyone who ran against them.


What we have are 2 primary choices and one is better than the other. In a democracy you vote on the options that made it to the table or don't vote, thats doesn't always mean that your preferred choices it to the table, probably because enough people were against your preferred choice.

[May90]

Just a bit more enthusiastic about voting for Hillary. She is not my first choice, but a lot better than Trump was on that stage.

On "stamina" she also beat him.

She is actually my first choice after these debates. I can't vote, but if I could, up until this moment I would have been going to not vote for anyone; she won me over.

Even though I disagree with her on a "great many things", she actually looks like she knows what she is talking about and has put in a lot of thought into her program.

[Espe]

Or maybe you're just uninformed enough that his words seem to make sense because you don't understand any of them.

Definitely get Dunning-Kruger vibes from the vast majority of conservatives.

Though that's not surprising considering how hard conservative politicians have leaned on bigotry as their main platform via the Southern Strategy to make up the votes they can't steal outright through gerrymandering and mass voter disfranchisement of US citizens.

[Putin-Chan]

All hail Queen of the Paint Suit!

The LGBT flag should be repurposed to just be this image turned sideways.

[Brubear]

It just seems that way to people who are uninformed so they cant make a connection between what hes saying, or are mentally slow and cant keep up.

Ah yes, the classic "you're all just sheep who can't see what's REALLY going on. If only you were informed like me!" line.

No wonder so many followers of Alex Jones support Trump.

[beanman12345]

wow Hilary won but damn they both are shit.

However, because of the supreme court situation, Hillary has to win this election.

[mvaliz]

Direct questions from Lester to Trump about his biggest blips (Tax returns, birther), but nothing from Lester about her scandals (Goldman Sachs? Benghazi?), the tiny, tiny bit about emails came from Trump himself, not Lester.

Again you show your political ignorance....

Benghazi is over... she was proven to have NOTHING to do with it - this is why Dump avoided mention it, because she would've easily won that one.

Also, your ignorance shows when Lester holt questioned her about her emails, but you seemed to have missed that...

[Orbitus]

While I apparently missed the live commentary on here, she DESTROYED HIM, just like I said she would.

[Ausr]

That's fabulous! I knew you'd come around.

I really don't get the pant suit shit. My mom doesn't like the wear dresses of any kind so she wears pants. So do a lot of women, fat/skinny/young/old people.

This country hasn't been a democracy in a long time and the fact its these two running show that.

I mean hell it was proven that the dem party stone walled bernie sanders. If what happen to him happen anywhere else people would be sued and locked up.

But this isn't the thread for that so ill leave it at that.
