Remember, Trump saw the 2008 housing crisis as "good business" or sommit to that effect.

On man, i need that sound clip of him saying that then Hillary going on about all the shit it caused.

My mind is fucking blown right now.

My sister thinks Trump was fantastic in the debate, solely due to him going after Hilary's record on foreign policy, her stint as SoS and the role she played (???) in the rise of Islamic extremism.

She rationalizes her choice by assuming Trump will keep his fuckery contained to a domestic level and refrain from engaging on the international stage and fucking up like Hilary did (???) in the ME.

This a university student in Finance, with a stellar academic and community-volunteer record, yet she says she'd support Trump. We're Muslim too.

I just wanted to vent...

Globalism can't be put back into the bottle. Clinton won't be great for the Middle East, but Trump would be worse. He advocated stealing resources from the region. It's insane than any Muslim is willing to vote for someone willing to steal and ban their kin overseas. I honestly feel bad that you have to deal with that.

trump won hands down

How? It would help if you expanded upon your statement with reasoning as to why instead of posting a drive by post.

Trump came off as strong in the first, say, 1/4 of the debate, before the race question came along, at which point he started faltering hard and never really recovered.

Global warming on one side, nuclear winter on the other.

I'm not a meteorologist, but I know two opposing elements when I see one. They should completely negate each other.

Whoa. I think you just figured out Trump's secret plan to defeat Isis AND solve global warming... AND bring American companies back to the U.S.

Brb, patenting the Pip-Boy.

You expect a Trump supporter to have any substance when he himself doesn't?

Just because you are educated doesn't mean you cannot be an idiot.

I'm freaking blown Away that anyone thinks he "won" any part of that. Did OK but won? Clintom snatched his hideous wig.
It's a testament to how low the bar has been set for him that anyone can watch the beginning of the debate and think Trump was winning, or even doing OK. From jump he started off not answering questions, interrupting, and coming off as wholly clueless about the issues at hand.

Anyone who says he won the beginning of the debate should be flagged as someone whose insights into politics you should just ignore.

Corey Lewandowski's voice always cracks like he's on the verge of crying when he speaks for Trump.

Wait....Trump bragged about not paying taxes?!

Hes not been afraid to say he takes advantage of teh system. Remember when he said he donated to senators and when he came calling they'd show up? He brags about how he takes advantage to loopholes and the worst aspects of our democracy.
 
CNN aired and scrutinized a total of one fact-check, in favor of Trump regarding Clinton's "TPP gold standard" comment...and then directed viewers to go to the website if they want the rest.

WILL SOMEONE CALL SEAN HANNITY SO I CAN MAKE SENSE OF ALL THIS

Of all his incomprehensible rambling, this was one of the biggest "what the fuck are you talking about?" moments.

Does he really think anybody sees Sean as having any credibility? Not even Sean seriously believes that.
 
and that's not even the worst of it

he repeatedly defending his decision to try to implement an already tried unconstitutional law. He was literally calling for illegal profiling.

He also bragged about not paying people who did work for him because he is a businessman who only cares about himself and his family and can take advantage of laws in place in countries.

I also liked how it wasnt even a "go check it out when I was on his show" type thing, it was literally a "we were hanging out this one time and started arguing about the war in Iraq and I was totally against it. Ah schucks, I totally wish you were there. Call up Sean though, he can back me up." Like anyone, anyone, should take Sean "I am helping steer the Trump campaign and admit to not being a reporter because of it" Hannity, from Faux News (never gets old) as someone who would be an impartial source.

Wait....Trump bragged about not paying taxes?!

And my mom LOVED that. A little Canadian woman who worked for 4 bucks an hour for YEARS for a private rich family. A woman who was shit on for decades by the rich.....Absolutely LOVED hearing Trump saying that he doesn't pay taxes, want to give tax rebates to the rich, and doesn't pay for buildings he operates as businesses. That's your future America. Sorry...y'all fucked.

But he's not a politician, folks. Not part of that old corrupt system that keeps hard working 'muricans down.
 
I just wanted to hop in and say I really can't believe people are still circulating that urban legend that Hillary represented a rape victim in court and laughed at them and made them say it didn't happen. I've had to call that out multiple times today. Fuck.

I'm glad to hear Hillary did well while I was sleeping (wanted to stay up but conked out an hour before) but we're not out of this mess yet.

This attitude is exhausting....I would hope you just stay away from any political threads in the future.

You know. It's important to be up to date with politics but it's also important to be reminded of the many great things in this world such as humor.

No matter how much we clutch at each other's throats, it's the good things in life that keep us united.
 
Alright guys I gotta go to bed. My Q&A will be sometime next week.

Thanks everyone.

You are disgustingly irresponsible with what is supposed to be a very important right. If you are going to be so flippant or so proudly ignorant, that's fine, but don't vote. You aren't equipped to do it based on what you are saying. Someone like you should not have an impact on things that have very real (and in the case of Trump, very dangerous) impact on people's REAL lives. For some people, this is not about "the lulz", Palmer.
 
Can people who say that Trump was winning/tied in the beginning elaborate for me please? What I saw right from the beginning was him being unable to answer questions, instead ranting and raving about losing jobs to Mexico and China and name-dropping Reagan. The first question was "how will you create jobs?" and his answer was "UNINTELLIGIBLE BABBLE FOR 90 SECONDS, A LIE OR TWO, AND OH STOP THEM FROM LEAVING IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH TAXES I GUESS." Zero policy, no plan, inability to speak a clear message.

Hillary came off as a bit robotic in the beginning, and I say that as a Hillary supporter. It's more of a case of the bar being incredibly low. Trump seemed to be containing his anger and was at least being reasonable. Hillary was also trying to interrupt him back, and she can't beat Trump at Trump. Around the time it got to the race question though, Trump imploded, and Hillary started to just let him ramble and dig his own grave.

I was sweating those first 15 minutes or so, but then it was a laugh riot.
 
You do realize she was only an elected official for 6 years right?

You know she's only spent two senatorial terms in elected office, instead of thirty years, right? She was also Secretary of State, which doesn't get involved in domestic policy. I mean, feel free to hold her career against her, but not the imaginary one Trump was discussing.

Yes. I'm referring to the rhetorical attack that you've been talking about x for years, been in office for x years, and thus why should you be the best person to fix x, y, z. I think it's an effective ploy. As I said, Hillary made a comeback and handled Trump for much of the night after that initial push.

As a side note, I didn't really think he was effective on trade.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

What you are posting is not humorous to many Americans, especially minorities. Sorry I don't laugh at your shenanigans.

I'm actually quite surprised you haven't caught a temp. ban for trolling yet. It's blatantly obvious you're just saying what you're saying to get a rise out of people.
