[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

He's going to complain about the moderators because they won't let him run wild and won't do the last debate. Betting on it now

He was going to do that anyways.

 

[gutterboy44]

Trump just throwing every bottom of the barrel alt-right garbage over and over. This is just a greatest hits performance, playing to his base and no one else. No undecided is seeing a measured man up there. He is acting like a child.

 

[Mollymauk]

How dim do you have to be to think the one who interrupts the most is winning?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Yup, Trump got this. He is dominating.

Oh my god, how are communicating to us from bizarro world? A miracle!

 

[Aikidoka]

The moderators should be highlighting Trump's lies; shouldn't be Hillary's responsibility to keep stating it.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Honestly, when he was looming behind her at one point, I really felt like he was going to.



This one.

What the fuck.

Is my TV's color off? Trump's tie is red as hell on my set

 

[finowns]

Ya, in bizarro world.

Trump is controlling the room the same way a toddler with a temper tantrum can.

No in the actual world.

 

[Kreed]

What?

A group of Trump fans in the audience are cheering for him, so clearly he must be winning.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

Closer to 50/50 this time, largely thanks to set expectations. Trump doing slightly better than last time, outside of one outburst about jailing hillary that might end up defining the debate. He loses if it does.

I mean one looks like he's physically going insane on stage and the other looks like a person in politics.

If Trump shit in his hand and threw it at her I wouldn't be shocked.

 

[BumRush]

Where were Anderson / Martha in the first debate?

 

[Skellig Gra]

We waited too long to help on the Holocaust? Whst kind of question is this?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yup, Trump got this. He is dominating.

You're gonna need to explain this one.

Someone isn't being picked on just because they say they are.

 

[The Artisan]

Well yeah but like that's going to stop him?

if he's got any class then yeah he fucking should. it just makes him look bad, he should know that

 

[Jacksinthe]

Trump answering a question about unicorns:

And let me tell you about unicorns, they are these mystical creatures, believe me, ... They love to run around and eat Taco Bell...

And taco bell... Talk about some great take out. They got the meat and the cheese and the lettuce...

Oh you know who else eats lettuce? Some creatures do, yeah. Can you believe it? I can't believe it. Let me tell you...

It's like that guy that always says things you can't believe. Like he's trying to pull one over on you like he's a magician...

Speaking of, I just learned this magic tri-

MISTER TRUMP, YOU'RE NO-

why are you always interrupting me? Hillary got 3 more cheerios in her bowl than i did, that's not very fair.

Speaking of faires, I went to this really nice little town faire...

AD NAUSEUM.......... .... ....

 

[AHK_Hero]

The fastest in the West.

 

[Plinko]

How dim do you have to be to think the one who interrupts the most is winning?

Let's ask half of America.

 

[Sianos]

Yup, Trump got this. He is dominating.

says who?

says who?

 

[Version 3.0]

Trump's right, Hillary has been president for 30 years, she should quit it.

You mean absolute dictator. Everything wrong is her fault, and everything right is not.

 

[Electret]

How are people this fast? Holy moly.

 

[nynt9]

I'm tired of Clinton saying "what he's saying is not true" and then not specifically attacking his claims.

If she did that she wouldn't have time to talk about her actual positions. It's a gish gallop. Very basic bullying tactic in debates. She is doing a good job not being forced to be on the defensive.

Some of her answers are lackluster dodges, but trump is such a dumpster fire that I can't see how anyone can sympathize with his arguments here.

 

[Tacorona72]

Hmm.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Because you haven't actually been following the race?

Nope. I've been following it since it started.

Trump tonight is doing exactly what he needs to do. She's been defending herself and her policy positions this entire time.

I don't know if it's going to tip the scales in his favor, but ultimately I don't think he looks WORSE than he did in the last 72 hours, and now the talking heads have much more to discuss. As far as optics, (unlike Pence) Trump has looked strong tonight.

It's not over until it's over, and I'm sticking to that.

 

[Ithil]

They might as well just skip his answer, everyone knows what he's going to say already.

 

[AntChum]

Ahh, simpler times.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

I REALLY wish she would have gone for the throat of that "Veto power" answer.

"Wait, you're my opponent for President and you don't understand one of the most basic and public privileges of the office?"

Her argument makes no sense unless she's saying she wanted to completely change the tax code so Trump and her donors can't offset their liability but didn't have the votes. She's lying.

 

[Battlechili]

The moderators should be highlighting Trump's lies; shouldn't be Hillary's responsibility to keep stating it.

Aren't the moderators supposed to be neutral though? In a debate, it really is Hillary's responsibility.

 

[flyinpiranha]

He's calm, the audience is applauding more for him, and he's burning Hillary at the right moments. Couple that with most people not giving a shit about actual policy and the fact that he's bullshitting, and: voila! more Trump fans.

That's not how it works. He has dumbfucks cheering for him because they were already voting for him (because they are dumbfucks).

Not a single vote will be gained by him.

 

[Fox318]

At least the moderators are doing a -- somewhat -- better job reeling in the candidates when they don't want to behave

Its a mess and like the first debate I don't think I can blame the mods.

 

[Slacker]

Is Trump aware that Hillary wasn't emperor for the last 30 years?

 

[Darryl M R]

Oh my god, how are communicating to us from bizarro world? A miracle!

Sean Murray be praised!

 

[Garlador]

Trump stopped sniffing, I notice.

 

[dave is ok]

Hillary promising a war with Russia

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Am I the only one who wants to eject the audience through the roof?

 

[Crossing Eden]

Yup, Trump got this. He is dominating.

What debate are you watching?

 

[NandoGip]

Trump is really pandering to the conspiracy theorists.. the sad part is that there are normal non-political junkies out there who will actually believe the things he's said

 

[HotHamBoy]

Unreal that this shit show counts as presidential debate in arguably the most advanced nation on earth. I mean this is supposed to be serious stuff and yet the focal points are scandal, lies and accusations.

Reality TV

 

[BinaryPork2737]

What the fuck is Allepo?

Aleppo is a city in Syria that has been hit hard by the civil war.

 

[smokeymicpot]

The moderators should be highlighting Trump's lies; shouldn't be Hillary's responsibility to keep stating it.

No they shouldn't. Sliver Fox is awesome but they should not be doing that.

 

[DangerMouse]

WTF Trump.

 

[Wallach]

Trump just throwing every bottom of the barrel alt-right garbage over and over. This is just a greatest hits performance, playing to his base and no one else. No undecided is seeing a measured man up there. He is acting like a child.

yep

and now there is no chance at all for him to get anything back in order with the GOP itself

they'll basically help the DNC get rid of this fuckboy by the end

 

[greycolumbus]

I thought Hillary was a good debater. I could give better answers to many of these questions, and to Trump's accusations. Whe should be knocking it out of the park, and instead she's hitting singles.

Trump is already done. She's busy acting presidential.

 

[SugarDave]

You can tell he's fucking busting for a slash.

NO STAMINUH

 

[GitarooMan]

Nice lie to start by Trump

 

[Syder]

We waited too long to help on the Holocaust? Whst kind of question is this?

Right? Jewish persecution was not the reason for the US to join WWII.

 

[J_Viper]

Trump stopped sniffing, I notice.

He's acquired enough oxygen to activate

 

[carlsojo]

Can you imagine if Obama was debating Trump?

 

[LiK]

Trump is extra annoying tonight if that's even possible.

 

[niccoolnic]

Hillary promising a war with Russia

Not sure where you heard that.

 

[Gutek]

He knows nothing about Russia

 

[baxter2231]

Comparing Syria to the Holocost is out right mind blowing.

Also wait to long to do anything? Japan attacked the US and that brought us into the war in europe not because oh lets do something about the holocost.
