Do you think Trump would treat the black community better?
To be fair, it was a terrible answer because most of the people watching didn't know about that context and so Lincoln seemed like a non-sequitor.Once again, reminding everyone that Hillary's answer on Lincoln movie was true.

As a minority who's watched his people be decimated by Bill and Hillary's mass incarceration: I continually tire of people co-opting the language of the radical left to coerce people into voting democrat.

Ok thank you I was just curious.My first arrest was protesting Donald Trump. I've screamed at trumpsters outside of Trump towers on multiple occasions. They're both horrible. The degree varies.
I'm in fear for the future of human race. This family (Trump's) is going to potentially have the nuke codes.
I will call out both sides bs for what it is. I will criticize and call into question anyone who defends the extremism of the right-wing.
People forget: Stan winds up voting for one of them in the end.Funny thing about the South Park douche vs turd sandwich joke: It was originally used for the 2004 election.
Hindsight's a bitch.
Who is doing this in this thread?
No, the punchline was the cow becoming mascot again anyway.People forget: Stan winds up voting for one of them in the end.
That's the punchline of the episode.
Right, because Stan's vote didn't matter.No, the punchline was the cow becoming mascot again anyway.

1. Is Trump a bad man?
H: He is a very bad man

H: Golly I sure love children. After 9/11 I did things I was supposed to do, and helped women in unexplained ways. Also, people voted for me to be senator.
9. Syrian boy died. How do we help dead Syrian boys?
H: Syria is fucked right now. I made no-fly zones. THE RUSSIANS hate me, but Ill work with them to fix it somehow. War isnt my thing really. Maybe send some ninjas or offer ninja training. We could also send guns there and let them sort it out themselves.
T: We need more nukes than Russia. At least everyone over there is killing ISIS for us. KILL ISIS. Hillary is stupid.
10. Why will you be the bestest president ever?

T: Yup my kids are great. You suck, but at least you dont quit sucking.
I really hate both candidates at this point. No matter who wins, we lose. You can argue who will suck the least, but that's just sad. The moderators did a terrible job limiting answers & responses, but at least they seemed to give equal time to both candidate's drama.

This is a great summary.

Scripted?Watching the debate finally right now...
This is like reality television.
For people who take their political opinions from mad magazine, maybe.

A good summary should not be dumbed down like that, and several of the points are horribly unrepresentative of what was actually saidIt's a distilled/dumbed down version for entertainment, which it succeeds in. I'm not interested in the "they both suck" narrative that it's used for, but it is certainly entertaining.

You know, I love that movie, but wasn't what Lincoln did (offering jobs to people if they voted his way) eventually made illegal? Kinda hard to admire that particular part of the wheeling and dealing.

Lincoln did a ton of things that were illegal at the time, like suspending Habeas Corpus. Hell, the Civil War itself was illegal. It's simply proof that the ends justify the means.

So again, 12 years of hindsight is a bitch.Right, because Stan's vote didn't matter.
Twice.
Dude is such a liar. I am sure he is shunned by the real billionaires.
Can one of these billionaires just pay the 5 mil leak fee and get that other tape out there to put the killing blow in this bastard?

Do explain please
Black leaders at the time were highly in favor of that bill, with Bernie Sanders voting in favor of it as well, and Trump was out there calluing for the execution of black teenagers. No one got it right, clearly.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 In the official Congressional Directory, Representative John Lewis notes that he received a degree from the American Baptist Theological Seminary and lists his profession as "civil rights leader."
Mr. Lewis's self-description helps explain his abiding antipathy toward violence, including what he has long considered to be the state-sponsored violence of capital punishment. For that reason, Mr. Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, voted last week to block anAdministration-backed crime bill that would have greatly expanded the number of Federal offenses that would be subject to the death penalty.
But today, looking sad and saying little, Mr. Lewis stood in front of the White House and announced -- along with another member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Charles B. Rangel of Manhattan -- that he was changing his mind and would vote to allow the House to take up the measure.
The opposition of some black Democrats to the death penalty is so strong that 10 of the 38 black Democrats in Congress voted against the measure that would have allowed the House to consider the crime bill, even though it included millions of dollars in social programs they say their communities sorely need. The measure was defeated 225 to 210.
"I grew up with strong feelings against capital punishment," said Mr. Lewis, who says he vividly remembers a segregated South where black men were often executed both inside and outside the judicial system. "I think it's barbaric and should have been outlawed many years ago. It represents a period of our past and is not worthy of a great nation."
But Mr. Lewis is also politically astute, and, as a deputy House whip, a member of the Democratic leadership. A defeat of the crime bill would wound the President, encouraging the perception that he was too weak to get a legislative priority passed in the House even though it is controlled by his own party.
Later in the day, Representative Cleo Fields, another black Democrat, also announced that he would switch his vote and allow the bill to be voted on by the House.
Mr. Lewis, who once headed the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and marched with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said, "It's been one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make in the eight years since I've been here. It was much easier to march across the bridge in Selma or go on the freedom rides. Everything then was clearly black and white."
Crime bills are tough votes for black lawmakers. Blacks are far more likely than whites to be victims of violent crime, and some polls have found that they are more afraid than whites of being murdered or mugged. But blacks have consistently been less willing than whites to approve of capital punishment.
This year a tricky vote on a crime bill became even tougher when the $33 billion measure was sweetened with more than $7 billion for crime-prevention programs, including millions for the kind of Federal aid for inner cities that black Democrats have been demanding -- and generally not getting -- for many, many years.
That money -- and the prospect that an even more Draconian crime bill could be enacted, with less money for social programs and without a ban on 19 different types of assault weapons -- was enough to induce 28 of the 38 black Democrats to vote last Thursday to allow the bill to be considered by the full House.
But for some of them, the money was not enough to outweigh their loathing of a bill that would expand the number of Federal crimes punishable by death from a handful to more than 50, including offenses like terrorism, drive-by shootings and drug trafficking.
Recent reports have shown that an overwhelming majority of defendants on death row for Federal crimes are black. The last Federal execution took place in Iowa in 1963.
"To suggest that it's just a matter of how much funding it would take to get somebody to change his mind, I think is an insult," said Representative Robert C. Scott of Virginia, another of the recalcitrant black Democrats. "You wouldn't ask an opponent of abortion to look at a bill with the greatest expansion of abortion in the history of the United States, and argue that he ought to vote for it because it's got some highway funding in it." Going After Votes
In recent days, the White House, which has been accused by some on Capitol Hill of taking the caucus too much for granted, fought to turn around some of the black Democrats who had voted against it.
On Monday, Mr. Rangel suggested that he would change his vote if religious leaders thought that the morally right thing to do would be to let the House vote on the measure. On Tuesday, the White House released a statement by 40 black members of the clergy supporting the crime bill.
Mr. Fields, who met with the President on Tuesday, said he was changing his mind because he had received assurances from Attorney General Janet Reno that the Justice Department would insure that there was no racial bias in deciding when to seek the death penalty.
Purely political considerations may have played a part in persuading Mr. Lewis and Mr. Rangel to change their minds. Mr. Rangel, for instance, is facing a primary challenge from City Councilman Adam Clayton Powell 4th, who says that the incumbent's vote against the bill indicates how out of touch he is with the feelings and fears of his constituents.
And Mr. Lewis saw the Administration shopping for votes among Republicans and conservative Democrats by proposing to reduce the money for social programs, making him fear that his opposition might result in a bill that he would consider to be even worse.
"I was seeing proposals moving further and further to the right," he said in a telephone interview. "What was in the making was something worse than you have now."
To be fair, it was a terrible answer because most of the people watching didn't know about that context and so Lincoln seemed like a non-sequitor.
Clinton should have just focused on explaining why she is good.
