Support NeoGAF

[Des0lar]

I don't mind if it is quoted.
I'll admit it's looking like Twitter played me like a fiddle here.

Maybe it's time to stop believing everything you read online? It can't take more than a minute to confirm yourself?

 

[fester]

Hmmm. Looks like they were removed and the put back.
The campaign probably considered the optics a bit late.

At this point I doubt you even care, but you're only embarrassing yourself even more.

 

[B-Dubs]

You're purposely misleading people that will have to be continuously corrected throughout the thread, I highly suggest you edit it.

Like he cares about that, it's half the point of making posts like that.

Can you drop the act please

No Trump supporter would ever be on NeoGaf ever. I mean that as a good thing by the way -- but seriously -- you know what you're doing and you're having too much fun. You know you're cracking yourself up here by having a little bit of fame on the largest gaming board on the net, but please stop. All you're doing is derailing threads

 

[rjinaz]

Yup. It's why that image was created in the first place. The more people that see it the more better the chance misinformation is spread. Heck he may even get a Trump vote out of it!

They were a complete joke because Trump made them that way. Trump did his damndest to make the GE debates a joke as well. Go look at how differently Clinton handles Trump than any of the GOP did. They all allowed themselves to get offended and angry and they willingly went down to Trump's level. That is a phenomenon that would be just as, if not more, likely in a one on one debate.

Clinton was prepared and had a plan and, more importantly, had the confidence to stick to that plan. Ted Cruz is a national debate champion and he allowed himself to be pulled into Trump's crazy. Give Clinton some credit for staying above that.

I do give her credit of keeping her cool for the most part during the debates, though part of me wishes she did the first two debates like she did the third one. She seemed comfortable enough to throw out zingers and was ready for pretty much any of Trump's talking points and snappy comments, and just baited him the whole time.

There was one point during the debate where I swore she snapped for a moment and just rained down on Trump, but I can't remember if it was the second or third debate and what it was about. I just remember her looking around in disbelief for a second and then had a game face on.

The issue is that the people voting are short sighted and running off emotions rather than actual facts. We can have all the facts possible and it means nothing to most voters. Most can't name a single platform point of either party, other than Trump's usual rhetoric. That's the fear I have over this announcement, because many voters are putting in their due diligence to actually research.

Lol at Ted Cruz was a national debate champion. His campaign and debate performances were awful in this election period. All of the candidates were a joke and Donald whooped their behinds with ease.

How she played Trump in all three debates really tells you how talented she is or how unbelievably bad the GOP candidates were. And as much as I want to give Hillary the credit, she flubbed hard on the email question in the third debate, made an obvious pivot, got called on it, and Trump still shot himself in the foot.

 

[Elandyll]

President Trump?

No. still Clinton by a wide margin.

Could it hurt some down ballot races? Maybe. It will depend on what will happen next week.

 

[Steel]

Nah, it's more accurate to say that Donald didn't do particularly well for the debates but had a few zingers that stuck. Everybody else ignored Donald for most of the debate because, LOL, that reality TV star's not a threat and helpped dismantle each other(Jeb and Rubio eatting each other, Christie murdering Rubio). Trump won the primary on bluster and how far he was willing to go down the crazy hole.

 

[tuffy]

So is this a game changer or what? Are we expecting president trump/Republican Senate/house now?

This election is notable for how incredibly stable Clinton's lead has been from the start; I'm not expecting this news to change anything, especially now that the focus is already shifting away from Clinton.

 

[rjinaz]

So is this a game changer or what? Are we expecting president trump/Republican Senate/house now?

No. While not much official has been said, insiders are confirming it's nothing. Comey is not looking good here. His colleagues like the attorney general and the like, did not want him to send it and he did anyway. Even some Republicans are ticked.

President Trump No.
Senate still looks good imo.
House is not going to happen.

Shocking, another republican spreading made up bullshit

If it gets tied to chaffetz, the combination of partisanship and his deeply dislikable face might actually blow up in the opposite way they'd intended.

She ran a pivot and rabbit strategy where she would pivot away from something she didn't want to talk about and simultaneously release a rabbit for Trump to chase. With the email answer in the 3rd debate the pivot was weak but the rabbit was pretty good and Trump couldn't help himself.

 

[QuantumZebra]

So is this a game changer or what? Are we expecting president trump/Republican Senate/house now?

This will be another story on the trash heap by Monday.

Probably gonna be replaced by Trump saying he wants to execute Hillary and round up her supporters or something.

CNN latest, the optics are already changing

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/polit...r-tells-senate-judiciary-committee/index.html

Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates objected to FBI Director James Comey's decision to notify Congress about his bureau's review of emails related to Hillary Clinton's personal server, law enforcement officials familiar with the discussion said.

Comey decided to disregard their objections and sent the letter Friday anyway, shaking the presidential race 11 days before the election and nearly four months after the FBI chief said he wouldn't recommend criminal charges over the Democratic nominee's use of the server.
The officials acknowledged there was little Lynch and Yates could do given the fallout over Lynch's controversial meeting over the summer with former President Bill Clinton.
Lynch and Yates objected after Comey gave advance notice to top officials at the Justice Department before sending the letter to lawmakers, law enforcement officials briefed on the matter said. Justice officials didn't sign off on Comey's decision and he didn't seek their approval, one official said.
Instead, he made an independent decision to go against longstanding Justice Department and FBI practice to not comment publicly about politically sensitive investigations within 60 days of an election, the official said.
Comey later explained his decision to provide Congress with the information in a letter to FBI employees.
"We don't ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed," Comey said. "I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record."

If it is indeed revealed that it is a nothingburger, as is now expected, this will blow up in tbe GOP's face, Comey first, and rightfully so.

You watched those debates and went wow these folks are giving an amazing performance? I mean forget the terrible ideas guys like Jeb and Rubio were espousing and just look at their performances. These mainstream conservatives people prop up like Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, Stephen Moore, and so on are not impressive at all. A big reason why they lost is because the romanticized view of them is a fantasy. You're living in a fantasy world if you think these guys and gals are the cream of the crop. They suck.

No, I didn't think they gave an amazing performance. My point was that Trump didn't give an amazing performance either. Probably a worse one technically.

I wouldn't trust CNN, they're owned by Clinton, who works for the Anticrist himself (Obama). Wouldnt be surprised if a few people on CNN are legit demons, or at least possessed.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Exactly. Nobody really pays all that much attention to the facts. They're going to be hearing "Clinton" and "email scandal" again and again for the next week and a half, combined with Trump and his surrogates spreading as much misinformation as possible.

For a voting public that often can't be bothered to look into the facts, that'll be more than enough to swing some votes.

Like i said before, i want to see Comey's career destroyed once this settles down. I want it to be difficult for him to even catch a job at Arby's. This partisan hack nutjob just couldnt stand to see his boy Trump decimated and so independently decided to help him. Fuck him, fuck his life, and i will smile from ear to ear as his career is dismantled and he is annihilated utterly.

Sometimes revenge is sweet, and when they go low you go stab them right the fuck in the back. That's what Michelle Obama said, right?

I have been reading the responses to the US debate for some time but always kept my own counsel. However, now it's getting silly. It is like an echo chamber here. It would make a fantastic sociological experiment.

Basically, the loudest kids in the room are dominating the discussion and pleading the superiority of their own position based soley on a manufactured media position that is fed to them and aided by this echo chamber (and others) that constantly reaffirms their views and makes them cosy and self validated.

It gets to the position where a presidential candidate has flaunted the law, acted with disregard to the gravity of their position, has acted negligently at best and in bad faith, if not knowingly breaching the law and the standards required of high office, and the crowd on here defend such actions as smears.

Basically, I don't give a flying shit either way. You yanks are fucked whoever gets in. But I do get concerned where people are outsourcing their intellect and critical thought to the media, are living in an echo chamber, and can't understand why their body politic is so polarised because they don't realise they are part of the problem.

I'm not sure where you're from (I'm going to assume England since you use the term "Yanks") but you should probably consider where you're getting your manufactured media position from if you think that anything in the bolded is remotely true.

Comey and the Republicans have taken advantage of the general publics lack of knowledge of classification procedures and the rules of conduct in place during Clinton's tenure about the use of personal email for official business. I can assure you if Clinton actually broke any laws she would have been gleefully charged with a crime by this FBI director. He's acted in bad faith from the very beginning by having that dramatic press conference back in July and has only continued to show his true colors by engaging in this stunt 11 days before the election.

How did you become so all-knowing as to what motivates people to vote for their preferred candidate? Personally, I voted for Hillary mostly because she believes in this concept called science. Not because of some media echo chamber. I also dislike authoritarianism. I acknowledge she made a mistake with the email server, but I'm giving her a pass. Anyway...mind your own business.

China? You mean the country that has a long standing issues with high ranking politicians using accusations of corruption to get their opponents jailed or worse? China has jailed how many political dissenters?

China should be the last country throwing 'corrupt politicians' stones.
