What's depressing is one of these two people are going to be the next POTUS. Death to the low/middle class with sweetheart deals ballooning our national debt that will most likely cause our economy to crash taking a lot of the world down with it or death by total global nuclear destruction? Clocks ticking.

Do you guys know why Trump has gotten this far?

Because America (people) loves to give attention to the outspoken, controversial, obnoxious guy.


Instead of, you know...just ignoring him and moving on to more intelligent debate.

Don't believe me? Just look at the amount of response, and quotes Compsiox is getting in this thread for his silly and stupid comments.

Hey man did you see that South Park episode? The one with a giant douche and a turd sandwich?! Boy did they get it so right, I can't believe how stupid people are they don't see how both choices are bad!

I don't see how this explains actually voting for the guy.

Oh he practically said he's using it next time on CNN after the debate. Next time is going to be a shitshow of even more epic proportions.

Next time I'm drinking earlier. Being drunk two hours after the debate is no good. Drinking game just doesn't work for the lightweight alcohol I drink.

I hope you're right though. 2016 will be considerably better with another debate like that.

I think he doesn't use it and just string the media along with it. He knows she's waiting for it, and being a guy who very publicly cheated and ruined his marriage Hillary will just use any condemnation of adultery against him since she is the only one between them not guilty of it.
Click to expand...

She's not going to attack his marriages, that would set entirely the wrong tone. She has three very strong lines of defence/attack if he brings up hers:

1) My husband had a very public and very humiliating affair and it took a lot of work with him to save our marriage, (and a lot of prayer, attention Evangelicals who take this stuff very seriously). I am proud of how I've worked on my marriage, but it's nobody's business but mine and my husband's how we got through this.
2) How dare you accuse a woman of being complicit because her husband cheated on her; that's a disgusting smear, victim blaming, sexist, part of a pattern of disrespect to women, etc.
3) It is unbelievable that a candidate for president of the United States thought this was an OK thing to say.

Let the media attack Trump's marriages in comparison if they want to.

You must have missed him back stage at CNN...he brought it up, praised himself for not brining it up during the debate, then implied he might bring it up in the next debate.

And got continuous praise by Hannity and folks on Fox for his restraint. Its a very presidential quality don't ya know.

So...

You think Trump uses the "Bill cheated" card next debate or he saves it for the final one?
Click to expand...
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).

Post-debate is not the debate stage, and why would he do it after he went told the world about his great "restraint". I know he's an irrational turd, but it would be extra nonsensical.
Click to expand...

Because in the interview I'm referring to, not only did he mention it, he patted himself on the back for not mentioning it during the debate, but only because "Chelsea was there" and then he said he would "maybe bring it up" in the next debate.

Nope, both sides are not equally bad. Try again.

Even in these absurd doomsday scenarios, one option is clearly much worse...

I would have been smiling/chucking if my opponent were making up/denying facts left and right the entire debate too. Can't blame Hillary for that. I wish she actually had someone worth debating.

I can't stand Pence but I bet the Kaine/Pence debate will actually be a good one.

That's pretty clear at this point. I hope we take the obnoxious controversial candidate more seriously going forward instead of laughing them off like a lot of us did when Trump first announced that he was running for president.

You think Trump wouldn't balloon the deficit and wouldn't harm the low/middle class? Cause of the two economic plans, Hillary's is the only one that even has a chance of lowering the deficit.

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.

One of those two people outright said he's start a war over a boat being mocked by foreign soldiers and that actual nuclear war is on the table.

Yet, this is somehow equally as bad as bad economic policy?

How much you want to bet that most of them certainly aren't any repressed racial or sexual minority?

Guess what? The world doesn't revolve around your petty viewpoints. There are MILLIONS of people in America that will be harmed by Trump's policy. And guess what? Being a dipshit and taking shots doesn't make you seem like the smarter man.

He just walked into easy responses by Hillary due to his insistence on using attacks that are only relevant in the right wing bubble (fox news, drudge, talk radio, etc). This stuff won't resonate with the general electorate, nor is it in line with reality.

You tried to equate the doomsday scenerios to pretend you are above it all because you dont like both.

Stop backtracking, you did the standard 'both sides are equally bad' routine. Its cliche at this point.
