Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Heh, Conway just said "President Clinton left a vacuum in Iraq". Either she meant to blame Bill Clinton for a war after he left office, or she Freudian'ed Hillary Clinton to the Oval Office.
She didn't talk smack about Holt, however.
EDIT: Spoke too soon.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
... in less than 2 weeks untill the next debate!?
Dude, he's probably right now slapping backs with that fugly CEO of Breitbart and Jabba the InternMolester (Roger Ailes) drinking beer and saying "OH MAN< YOU ZINGED HER GOOD WITH... WITH... BAH, FUCK YEAH LETS GET MORE BEER!!"
...it's tomorrow morning when he wakes up and sees the responses is when he's like "Wait... wha!? They DIDN"T Like me!?"
The problem is, he just came across as a very unintelligent person, compared to Hillary. Every time she responded to a question on point and with references to actual experts, events and legislations, he reacted with babbling about how terrible she is, talking about his business and anecdotal experience - all while keeping interrupting her and even the moderator, with whom he actually gotten into a minor brawl.
In short, it was like a professor talking to a peasant. If the peasant wins in someone's eyes, then chances are that someone is on the peasant's level. And I would like to believe that the majority of people in the US are a bit more intelligent than a typical redneck.
The main problem frankly is that Trump wasn't obeying the rules of the debate. It isn't intended to be a free-for-all, and if the moderator was even partially awake Trump would have been repeatedly told to stop talking.
To me it just showed that he wasn't ready for a real debate. He wanted a open forum to just shout at his opponent. That, to me at least, isn't an endearing trait.
BTW, what is the actual point of putting these debates in front of live audiences? You won't stop them from cheering, and it actually plays a huge role. The more cheering leads people to believe that person won, and a lot of people like to vote on perception of who won.
I want Clinton to win because the US's word that we will back promises we've made and treaties we've entered in to is important to me.
