I am dying here.
 
Just finished watching the debate because I was at work for most of it. Obviously I thought it was a slaughter and Trump looked like a short-fingered buffoon up there, but I'm eager to see what kind of impact it has on the polls. You can never be sure what plays in this dumb fucking country we live in.

how can anyone support Trump...

It's a question I always had. It must be more than just "I'm racist, I'm a misogynist, I'm an idiot". Even though that is a powerful triple threat.

Listen.

As much as I hate a smug grin, I think Hillary (the master of the grin) had every reason to use it during this debate. It's an appropriate reaction to the words of Trump.

She has never looked better, imo.

I can't get over the whole tax evasion thing... wtf?

I don't get this man. He talks about money, and how awesome his business is. And money. Repeats key words with no substance...
 
Try what? I never said they were equally bad. One is a racist bigot who throws temper tantrums and the other is a lying, back peddling and pandering professional politician who has suspect interests. Both are people who I don't want to be president, though.

Here's the reality. Almost anyone you or I would really want to be president isn't ever going to be.

Voting for presidents is not a "get exactly what you want" kind of thing - never has been.

Honestly, this debate gave me almost everything I wanted. The only thing he didn't do was call her a bitch. If he could somehow get worse, that would make my entire life.
I'm with ya. The sexist comment was the only thing missing from the drinking game. Always next time.

Name one policy decision she made that was influenced by "suspect interests"

Please. I'm waiting.

Clinton's 35-point win in the CNN post-debate poll is the 3rd largest margin ever, after Romney-Obama I and Clinton-Bush 92 townhall.

The great thing is thinking about how will he respond in the next debate? He obviously can't take the yelling, interrupting tactic again.. yet his "strength" is his "strength", if that makes any sense.

It's such a weak card to use. Hillary Clinton isn't Bill Clinton. She didn't have an affair. Who cares? It would just hurt Trump instead (though that Rosie comment probably ruined the woman vote for him for good).

Someone in Trumps campaign must have grilled him hard to shut the hell up about anything like that. He made a reference at the end how he could have said some horrible things about her and her family. So he clearly wants to, but he has been controlled enough not to, cause they know how toxic it is.

I assume recently even more so due to the whole Gennifer Flowers thing.

That Romney-Obama had a higher margin is kinda crazy. Like Obama did bad, but he didn't completely self-destruct like Trump did.

It was more because Romney's Campaign was doing terribly at that point, and that was the switch. So expectations, they didnt expect him to put that much of a fight (even if it was all lies)
 
The amount of shit revolving around this very view point on social media has made me want to smash my head into a wall. Profusely.

Yeah, it's intellectual dishonesty. If a person doesn't like either candidates that's fine, but cut out the BS "both are bad/the same rhetoric" it really actually spreads misinformation and muddles the differences the representatives stand for simply because a person is too indifferent enough to care. It's quite toxic thinking and can really spread to others who also don't bother to research themselves, something that seems worse with social media nowadays. It's like almost like the "want the world to burn" mentality because you can't get what you want, so screw everything.

I want everyone who babbles about Douche vs Turd Sandwich to be tied to a chair and forced to watch this entire debate again and again until their eyeballs fall out.

I like your style.
 
Trump is a joke. Hillary got this. I was worried she would succumb to trump's bs. Maybe she can get trump to have a meltdown on the next debate?

What's he referring to, "behind the blue screen"?

Don't know, man. I just found that moment hilarious. "You was totally outta control" coming from a presidential candidate plus the denture check he does right before saying that line had me in stitches.
 
Trump can do better than than. That bigot tangerine nightmare doesn't fuck around.
Well, he was on his best behavior tonight, clearly. Of course, his best behavior still has him looking like an unhinged sleazebag, but there was a noticeable difference in this Trump vs. Republican debate Trump. I expected him to pull out a 'Crooked Hillary' line or two.

I'm hoping that many outlets go full blast over that, because admitting something like that on a debate stage is insane.
