The most mind blowing moment for me was when Lester asked about race relations and Donald started talking about Law and Order and stop and frisk, which has been proven to disproportionally target innocent minorities.

This was sandwiched in between him being dismissive of contract law and constitutional law and the judiciary.

I understand that, but wouldn't it be her that should call him out on his lying, not the moderator?

The moderator would ask him a question, and Trump would say "that's not true" or "that's a lie." The moderator was only fact checking when Trump falsely challenged the validity of a question (e.g. not supporting the war in Iraq).
 
Was there a fucking moderator this debate? I just watched it and my god this wasn't moderated at all. Trump started out well and got beat hard as time went on.
A moderator would have stopped his meltdowns. Probably for the best. Like a real moderator probably wouldn't let him answer a question with "Yeah I said Rosie O'Donnel sucks, you know I'm right!"

"Stop and frisk was ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court for racial profiling."

"No it wasn't"

"Yes, it was, the supreme court ruled it unconstitutional."

"Well, no it's not, because if we appeal it, we'll win. The point is, stop and frisk works, it's good because it works, and it works so well."

"statistics show that stop and frisk actually did not lower crime"

"No, I know, it worked really well, and that's why we need stop and frisk."

The funny part is even the NYPD, who used Stop and Frisk, had to admit it didn't do shit.

Trump was lying about that stuff though. Like lying through his teeth.

He eventually dropped an percentage, the question is if its true. I can't remember what number he threw out tho.
 
I don't know why people keep complaining about Lester's moderating was bad.

It's a GOOD thing he let Trump completely shit himself on national TV. He looked irritable, temperamental, incapable of letting Clinton speak, and the longer he spoke the crazier and more incoherent his thoughts became. Lester cutting him off would've deprived us of much of his insanity, which would've made him look better.

We just had a presidential candidate admit on stage he couldn't give two shits about the poor and minorities.

Trump's ideaologies:
1. I think giving the rich more money will allow them to finally put money back into the economy. The billions they have now just isn't enough.

2. I'll allow a cop to stop anyone they want (we know who that'll be) and frisk them. Because law and order against these baboons is the only way.


In a nutshell. He just presented a plan that will essentially make all these things infinitely worse.

One could not care about his fellow man and vote for trump at the same time.

Trump's main cited sources are "Because I said so."

Seriously. Like if anyone with any logic and somehow on the fence was watching this, that was the moment IMO. Hillary gives a concise response, and then Trump doesn't even answer the question in any way
 
Have the mics turn off at the allotted time.

Let the moderators shut off the mics if they're not answering the CURRENT question.

Bring order to this mayhem pls

Trump's ideologies:

2. I'll allow a cop to stop anyone they want (we know who that'll be) and frisk them. Because law and order against these baboons is the only way.

At least for the racially charged answers, many of his predominately white supporters won't even be aware of the implicit policies he is proposing that will harm minority groups, or they will be apart of the group that is fully in favor of actively targeting minorities.

Seriously. Like if anyone with any logic and somehow on the fence was watching this, that was the moment IMO. Hillary gives a concise response, and then Trump doesn't even answer the question in any way

Especially for minority voters. That was the moment they were looking for.

That answer wasn't just dog whistles, that was barely unadulterated racism.

We need a moderator with balls next time. Someone not afraid to shut off Trump's mic and with a voice that can rise above his elephant seal honks. Every time he kept on going over the time limit(even the "Can I just say something quick" inserts that went on forever), I was screamin' "Cut the damn mic, Lester!" That's why I posted that "Wrap it up!" gif.

sorry but your math doesn't add up. I see over 300,000+ voters on some of these sites.

It's very easy to get past the very limited protections the websites put on these polls. Anyone with limited knowledge about computers can easily vote a couple hundred times without an issue in a short window.

Lester Holt did what good reporters do in an interview: he let Trump hang himself and tried to force him to answer the questions. Holt did fine, he let Trump wind the rope around his neck and jump off the side of the building.
 
kinda wish the moderator had more power.

Like mic mute buttons.
I don't. MSNBC was just praising Lester Holt for allowing the two to talk at length and specifically for giving Trump rope to hang himself. I wanted Trump show everyone how temperamental he is and both Holt and Clinton seemed perfectly happy to sit back and let that buffoon show it to 100 million Americans.

Hillary can handle an unrestrained Trump, clearly; I'm not worried about her. But voters needed to see in earnest Trump's volatility, his lack of intelligence and depth of knowledge and his lack of decency. They needed to see his disregard for truth and even something as simple as debate rules. This all needed to be witnessed, and tonight that's exactly what Holt's moderating style and Clinton's patience and self-control facilitated.

We'd be so lucky to get a repeat performance out of Trump, Clinton and whoever moderates the next debate if the result will be anything similar to what happened earlier.

I was watching something on YouTube, but then I saw Triumph humping some bald dudes forehead in the back of the MSNBC coverage

And I'm not gonna miss out on that

On a side note, how does one participate in any polls?

I assume they call households? I've not had a house phone line in like a decade, no one ever called my cell.

I think Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz are next, and they're of the same school as Holt. So all we need to do is hope for a repeat performance from Trump.

I'd also note that all polls from professional pollsters are coming out with Hilary winning. I am not going to get in knots about this until a few days have passed.

Those minorities are always up to something. Ive talked to many many people about this. It's true. Sad

Exactly.

I've seen nothing but praise for Holt except for a single Trump surrogate and even then he was rebuffed by the rest of his panel.

It's amazing how Trump tried to play the Tricklenomics card and then proceeds to demonstrate exactly why Tricklemomics doesn't work.

Hey, let's not be hasty, vaping is super useful to society.

The really good interviewers are the ones that know what questions to ask so they get the answers they want (to get at the truth), and are more than happy to let the subject implode if they want to. 60 Minutes has always been a good example of this style of interviewing, among other newsmagazine shows.

Even though this debate was very one sided, I would have liked at least a little more policy discussed but who am I kidding.

yeah because thousand of ppl know how to rig a poll.

Just to show how easy it is, I voted in the Time poll, then opened an incognito window in Chrome and voted in it again, five times in a row. It's not difficult to automate that and you don't need thousands of people that know how. One person could script it and distribute that script for others to run and there you go, instant rigging. I was seeing about 100 votes every second hours after the debate.
