I didn't create this poll or any of the other ones, but honestly I don't think it even necessarily represents a joke in as much as it's just trying to highlight how useless these kinds of polls are most of the time. I'm not trying to offer a cynical hot take here when I say that most of the time, the person who most closely shares your views is going to win. The only way that's not going to happen is if one candidate turns in a remarkably good performance and/or the other turns in a remarkably bad performance.
That's not to say that all people are incapable of being impartial. But trying to be impartial in a contest like this where substantive answers are kept as brief as they are here mostly just involves trying to grade on style points or on technical accuracy. The latter is also something that your average viewer is not going to be able to do effectively without the aid of online fact checking which will distract from the live debate.
Well let's be fair. Trump did perform very well considering what had just happened. I mean he didn't have a meltdown. He had nothing to lose and somehow he managed to make it through this.
How that is a win in the grand scheme of things I'll never know but it keeps him alive until his next scandal so there is that I guess.

I answered it truthfully: "The person I'm voting for"
Yeah, but you see now it's tradition.

Don't worry, we have our own Trumps (AfD in Germany, Le Pen in France, the fuckery which is going on in UK, Orban, etc.)
But Trump takes the cake because he is absolutely clueless about everything and acts like this is in some kind of reality TV show where he has to win the game.

I feel like it's done on purpose..speaking like a simpleton for the simpletons.
I always knew you were a Trump supporter...

One can pull for and support Clinton without thinking she's a saint.
It's called the "Gish Gallop". It's a technique where you fill your responses with a lot of lies, with a few truths sprinkled in. The audience members hear the onslaught of charges and recognize one or two of the facts which lends some credibility to the lies that they might not be familiar with. Then, the opponent has to waste their time clearing up which of the statements were true or false.

But..you're GAF? You see her as some kind of saint?
Literally no one here does.

Trump played to his base, and will keep them fired up, but I can't imagine he drew in new voters.
As for Clinton, I don't think she had her best night. I would say that Trump lost the debate, not so much that Clinton won it.

I approve of his murdering Avengers policy, but we disagree on the benefits of monarchy.
I'm part of GAF, I'm voting for Clinton, and I don't see her as a saint. I would much rather be voting for Bernie Sanders. Actually, outside of maybe a couple of people, most, regularly point out the issues she has. Am I going to say that GAF doesn't favor Clinton, no, but the point still stands. I don't think I ever saw anybody here say she was perfect.
It's still weird that there is a 'winner' or 'loser' of these debates in the sense that people compare E3 conferences or something.
Like that isn't even the point of these townhouse meetings which isn't about fighting each other, but to relate to the undecided voters, which clinton had a few good moments with the muslim lady, and sam jackson.
Did Trump even give a 'thank you for the question, (question reader)'?

It's my fault, I guess I should probably take down my Hillary shrine and stop praying to her to keep my emails safe.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
One thing that make me sad about the last debate was the lack of law & order.

You don't win a debate by using lies for more than 50% of your "facts". As usual, Trump lied more than he told the truth.
Your definition of winning either ignores reality, or assumes that because Trump got a couple of zingers in, that this allows for everything else he says to be utter bollocks.
Trump done better than the 1st debate, but on actual debating substance he was nowhere.

Threatening to imprison your political rivals is law and order by Trump's definition.
Man if only gawker was still around. Expect a sex tape by now.
was mentioned in the first question I think? He definitely said it once early on.
Oh crap. My city paper just endorsed Clinton.
Hillary Clinton is our choice for Commander in Chief.
Bear in mind, I live in the most UBER-conservative state in the union, in an UBER-conservative city, full of UBER-conservative people, and this IS our paper.
This is huge for this city... and it's going to get them a ton of backlash.

That's a good point (that it's not necessarily a joke), and something I did consider after I posted. However, this particular debate was...special, in that one candidate failed to effectively defend himself against accusations of sexual assault while also wincing and whining the entire time, so I find it hard to comprehend how anyone would think that he won!
haha fair enough.

So. . .shawty with the bedazzled full zip-up hoodie?
Cool a quick google search and I found the image. Did she not know she was going to be on live tv. If this was a stunt to help Trump you think she would have been consulted on how they wanted her to be presented. She can wear whatever she wants but the attire and screaming at the end helps show that this was a terrible decision.

Trump has zero endorsements from any major newspaper in the country. it's really not that unprecedented no matter how conservative your town is.
He's really THAT bad of a candidate.

Cory Lewndowski is one of the filthiest, scummiest, most despicable talking head I've ever seen. Incredible how the Trump campaign managed to find these kinds of people with such a capacity for shameless lying, deflection, and distortion. It makes me livid that this fuck works for CNN and no doubt gets well paid for perpetrating such mindless trash. I feel a propensity for violence whenever his ugly face is ons screen. The guy is pure human scum.

What did Mika have to say?
I'm curious what Gaf wishes they had seen with Clinton that they didn't last night?
It could be any moment now
It could be any moment now
Note, had they endorsed Trump, that very same person would have praised them for their editorial and opinion.
Probably just hand wringing.

I'm sure they didn't exactly drop their subscription after that paper endorsed romney and mccain.
The conservative hive mind mentality is just bizarre.
