The needle doesn't move

My hope is that Trump hasn't permanently lowered the bar for decorum in these debates.
Felt like battle rap at times. Audience was shameful, too.

Moderators were on task though

Under the radar horrifying answer from Trump, suggesting to ramp up our nuclear weapon threat to respond to Russian aggression.

 

[Oblivion]

Chris Matthews and Chuck Todd think it was a tie. Ugh.

 

[TaterTots]

Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. etc. individuals are factually:
1) Deplorable.
2) Shitstains.
3) Mostly irredeemable.

Doesn't mean we can't help them despite how in-human they are.

The big word is irredeemable. When I was younger I had some pretty bad views due to my parents. I've changed a ton. It's hard for me to say someone can be a balanced president when she states millions of Americans are irredeemable.

EDIT; Did you edit your post? That last line wasn't in there before I quoted I think? Maybe I missed it? If so, nvm.

 

[optimus8936]

Like....

Why do they need to compliment each other? WTF? They're trying to beat each other, they don't need to compliment each other. Such a WTF? question.

 

[FTF]

MSNBC saying what we all think...it was a bad night for American politics.

Bad night for America in general really :/

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So weird how the questioners are being given disposable camera to take photos..

... I guess their phones have been locked in a lead safe incase One's a Note7 and explodes taking Trump and Hilary both out.

 

[- J - D -]

Guy on PBS is right Hillary could've hit Trump harder than she did.

 

[Oriel]

Gawd that was such good TV.

I can;t wait for more of this.

It was horrific and awful. No democracy should be subjected to the sort of car crash we witnessed tonight. Glad it's over.

 

[Shaneus]

Moderators 8/10. Would have been a mess without them

They should have been more forceful in cutting Trump off though. I'm sure a lot of his responses went close to four minutes.

 

[KiN0]

Terrible debate. How much did we actually learn about their policies and positions on issues that actually exists outside the election? And that last question was such a waste, just like most of the audience questions.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Does that mean he didn't answer questions or he was not coked-up?

Sniff sniff

 

[Deleted member 12837]

So I missed the debate (just got home). Is there anywhere I can legally stream the broadcast from the beginning or are all the providers only showing live versions?

 

[Travo]

If Pence is actually leaving, I wonder if it's because of what Trump said about not agreeing with him tonight.

 

[mjp2417]

Hillary clearly won the debate by any reasonable metric, but I do think it is fair to say that Trump over-performed relative to expectations while Hillary under-performed.

 

[King Tubby]

Trump nailed that last question over Hillary. But the Pence schism is huge.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Trump was so unprepared

 

[XenodudeX]

I would say this won't push anyone either way, but it did stop some bleeding for Trump. I hope the media doesn't drop this shit.

No it didn't.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

And created a perfect packaged commercial for Clinton. Hillary's answer wouldn't work the same way.

Yeah, what an idiot for giving an honest, respectable answer instead of carefully angling his statement for optimal commercial cutting.

Come the fuck on. The dude is a piece of shit, but give credit where credit is due.

 

[Mr. RPG]

This debate was legendary. It was a lot more interesting than the first one.

 

[A.J.]

Just don't run into any locals.

I'm a local and I don't appreciate that

 

[Xilo]

Wow, PBS News Hour trying really hard to not say that Trump won. "That was her only good answer", and "she avoided the email question and had no plan for syria."

 

[anaron]

the sound bites to come from this will crush Trump


whining

Pence diss

+

the locker room bullshit, especially.

 

[Krejlooc]

Man, trump came off as terrifyingly petty in this debate. What a fucking nutjob.

 

[Madness]

this is why i hate "undecideds". They're mostly just stupid people who care about stupid shit. "But do u like him???"

fuck off.

Yup. We need just a few undecided voters but have most questions be given by actual republican and democratic voters. Questions that make each candidate sweat and be vulnerable. These debates have been horrendous.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Can we get Anderson and Martha a spa treatment or a cruise? They had to put up with a lot.

 

[Lotto]

wow, disposable cameras

that's what i was thinking, pretty sick actually.

I don't see how any reasonable person can view Trump's performance as anything but a disaster. He got a couple of cheap shots in, but said nothing of substance, or at all relating to the original questions.

 

[Afrikan]

AW HELL NAW

Security dude patted Donald's daughter's Ass...to "guide" her out the door.

anyone see that? Daughter with the green dress. As she was exiting.

edit- there was no reason for him to be that low with his hand..

CBS FEED.

 

[Tiops]

I think Hillary could have done a lot better. Trump was just bullshitting as usual, but I didn't see anything that could be bad for him happening, so that's a win for him to me.

 

[Cromat]

This was a much better performance for Trump. It will stop the bleeding, but not necessarily enough to prevent his loss (dear God I hope so).

 

[Tagg9]

They all are. They creep me the fuck out.

Actually, I've seen the odd episode of Celebrity Apprentice and his sons and Ivanka all come across as surprisingly normal, bordering on intelligent and competent even. I feel sorry for them having to support him lol.

"Feel the bone!"

 

[BFIB]

Hillary wins by default, but that's not saying much. She didn't have a great debate.

 

[Clydefrog]

Looks like they only allowed disposable cameras on stage. Weird.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Even if it is bullshit, it was a legit answer and probably the most human thing he has said this entire debate.

And basically, Clinton looks bad with her non-answer, but Trump ends on a good note.

Definitely not the way Clinton wanted it to end.

Like I said, what can you say nice about Trump? That's like asking what the math is behind making a SpaceX rocket work.

 

[JadedWriter]

What a fucking shit show that was.

 

[El-Suave]

Did they all get disposible cameras for photos?

 

[Exile20]

I would say this won't push anyone either way, but it did stop some bleeding for Trump. I hope the media doesn't drop this shit.

He threw his VP under the bus.

 

[Chakan]

Hillary won the first debate. Trump won the second.

The last question made me laugh...a lot lol

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Sorry can I just reiterate, that as an environmental science major, how much the clean coal thing really fucking ticks me off.

It's complete bullshit

Why? What do you have against clean coal? Do you prefer dirty coal? Why do you hate the environement? Climate change might be a hoax but we still could use some cleaner coal.

 

[ChouGoku]

Its sad and kind of terrifying that we are testing autonomous cars in Pittsburgh and still not one question on automation

 

[DOWN]

Lmao trump spoke over a minute longer than Hillary but claims mods were against him

 

[Joeytj]

That ending... wasn't bad for Hillary.

The "fighter" thing was really good. Won't change the race. I think this was Trump's way of at least going out well.

But the damage has been done since Friday. More things will come out about Trump and it will just solidify HIllary's victory.

 

[Haloid1177]

Woah shocked to see all the Trump non-hate. Thought this was a much worse debate for him.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Guy on PBS is right Hillary could've hit Trump harder than she did.

I think we all know that.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Nah he shitted on his running mate, you going to hear that all day tomorrow.

If there's more than smoke to the Pence rumors, this debate will be irrelevant anyway. But I'm guessing you will hear a lot of "Hillary didn't defend herself strongly" and "Trump was much more controlled and measured" from people who are invested in appearing unbiased.
