He brought it up multiple times in this one though. I hadn't heard about it and her just doing nothing made me think it was true

Something like that only plays to Trump's base. She could care less about the deplorables and their conspiracy theories at this point as people know that's bs. If it were a legit question Wallace would have pressed her to comment on it.

Early polling is showing Clinton again.

Also, the big headline pretty much every news outlet is running with is Trump refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of the election, which...probably won't play well outside of his hardcore base.

Paul Ryan and probably Mitch McConnel have to come out and denounce that tomorrow, too. Which will then que another week of Trump complaining about them. It's wonderful how amazingly good Trump is at fucking himself over.
 
That's not the order in which she wore them though, is it?

I honestly thought that was real until I scrolled farther down lol.

I am not sure if he actually wants to win anymore. If he is not totally stupid, he knew that droping something like this wouldnt work outside of his "base". He might have done some basic math and realized that an alternative Fox is more lucrative than the presidency.

Just checking :p Who knows maybe I woke up and some crazy shit has happen.

That's what I expected. Thanks.

There is something unexpected about this debate though. Hillary won the first two mostly by standing back and letting trump self destruct while giving her own plans. Here, she was actually aggressive, openly condescending and backhanding trump. It's like she had finally had enough of his shit and wanted to end him. And holy christ, she ate his soul.

Of course he wants to win. That's all he ever wants. He doesn't want the job of the presidency itself, but he definitely wants to be the hero, the leader, the guy who gets worshipped. He'll make trump TV and he'll say it's actually more valuable than the presidency could have ever been, but nothing burns him up inside quite as much as losing.

He's probably maybe...can't tell fully realizing that life will still go on after this shit show. Basically everything's been exposed about him now and he somehow needs to pick up his shattered image.

He's severely devalued his brand. Dude is just a loser.

So, what did I miss this time my friends?

Did Trump double down on being Trump? Did Hillary continue to present actual arguments like a rational human being instead of Trumping it up?
 
Look at the headlines. Trump is trying to destroy one of the founding principles of this country while more women and witnesses come out with sexual assault allegations. He is being torn apart limb by limb.

I don't think there's ever been a candidate who has suffered so much damage that was ultimately self-inflicted. Virtually every terrible moment in his campaign could've been avoided if he had just worded his answers like a human being and not like some teenager's edgy idea of a "strong" politician.

If Hillary wins and it's as big a blowout as polls currently show, Donald's campaign is going to be remembered as one of the worst in US history.

Trump refused to accept the legitimacy of the election and called Hillary a nasty woman.

I failed to wake up to this. Managed to watch it on Yt and, more or less, aligned GAF's posts with the debate.

Goddamn, Trump straight up imploded. What an absolute trainwreck.

Hardly. To you and I, perhaps. But something like 30% of the country loves his orange ass. That's a hell of a big market for him to capitalize on if he plays it right.

In fairness, I think a Fox competitor will crash and burn regardless, but not for lack of a potential brand.

He'll question democracy in one of the most important countries in the world and probably call for a rise in civil violence.

Eh, not sure. I mean I can see the crazies going down that road for sure, but I'd say the vast majority of Americans isn't really that interested in violence among themselves.

Who knows, but doubt his words/actions during/after the election day will fuel anything more than what there is today.

The hilarious part is they cant. Trump has profoundly marked the Republican party as a party of hate. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Even better he has the ravenous section of the base touting bigotry as if its a good thing. They cant hide behind their coded language anymore.

If Paul Ryan comes out and denounces Trump, hes only burying himself. If he doesnt, he remains buried because Trump made a show of calling him and all the career politicians out. The only way he couldve redeemed himself early on, is to never have endorsed him in the first place.

I want to see what happens after the election. The post mortems gonna be something, folks.

That's because he's the Republican nominee. They "loved" Mitt Romney and John McCain too, but after the curtain closed on their respective elections, the base left them high and dry. I'm sure some chucklefucks will continue to fawn over Trump, but most will revert back to the horrible people they were before this election instead of the extremely horrible people they are now.
 
i'm pretty surprised the election results thing is the dominant headline coming out....i absolutely understand how big of a deal it is, i just expected the media to go towards something more gossipy like him saying nasty woman or something.

All things considered that's pretty tame for Trump's doing, so I guess they didn't care too much.

I guess this debate was the final nail then, not that I could imagine him winning before, but this is pretty much over now if it wasn't already.

I'm reading from Republican strategists that Trump would have won the debate if not for denying the election results. Huh? He was getting rekt 95% of that debate. I can't even ...

But his brand had been geared to the elites.. But he's alienated college educated folks. His base is now uneducated white males.. Don't think they'll be filling up trump towers anytime soon

The standards have dropped so sharply that simply not breaking down into a childish temper tantrum is considered a win for Trump. Luckily, he couldn't even manage to avoid doing that for an hour and thirty minutes.

Oh damn, Hillary's playing 4D chess. The delayed patriotic effect is riding a time wave that will break upon a variety of swing states just as voters enter their booths.

Trump always wore red or blue tie as well. He is disadvantaged because guys usually dont wear white ties to the office.

But where is Hillary's flag pin? Lock her up!
 
That's not the order in which she wore them though, is it?

watch this being used on fox news or in some very conservative twitter feed next week.

What was so epic about it?
Van Jones dropped some bombs on 2 Trump supporters on the panel, but you had to wade through like an hour of "AL GORE DID THE SAME THING AS TRUMP IS DOING!@@@!" and they still never got it is all I remember.
