The Only poll that counts is the Breitbart one and that one has Hillary winning by over 60%

I think a person needs to know how to use a computer to vote in that poll. So of course Hillary wins.

The comment section is a must read for a good laugh

 

[Osiris-Rex]

The most glaring thing is neither shook hands before the debate, like the last time, and after the debate Hillary immediately went over to Chris Wallace and shook his hand,
completely ignoring trump. Then not to long after trump got in his limo and left, while Hillary stayed minutes longer working the crowd.
Second noticeable thing was him calling her Hillary instead of Secretary Clinton and she calling him Donald instead of Mr. Trump. Except, of course, when he called her a nasty woman.

I'm watching the second debate right now, will watch last night's debate tomorrow.
First question was about the first debate needing to be rated for mature audience, and Trump's reply had nothing to do with that question.

 

[DeadPresident]

His replies very rarely have any relevance to whatever question he was asked.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

At least he answered one question properly.
Man, they focused on foreign matters in their debate more than they did on issues in their country.

Here's how every one of the debate exchanges go.

Moderate: Mr. Trump, how will your plan fix the economy?

Trump: Well we're going to cut taxes and it will grow the economy. That's what we need to do, because that's how we're going to get the jobs back. We cut taxes, the economy grows, and that's how will do things bigly.The economy because we will cut taxes. We have become a laughing stock thanks to Obama and Hillary, who has 30 years to do something and hasn't. Why haven't you done anything?

Clinton: Well I believe we grow from the middle out. I have listed out by line how I will pay for my plan to insure it's not just people at the top who get the benefits. We've seen the effects of trickle down, and it hasn't worked.

Moderator: Moving on to the next topic.

Trump: I just need to respond to that. I will grow the economy. She hasn't done it in 30 years, why hasn't she done it? She hasn't done it and we will do it, and the economy will grow again bigly.

Jesus man, don't binge watch the debates! Your brain will liquify!

You're not wrong.
I'll save it for next week. Thanks for the advice.

How is that margin compared to the first and second debates?

 

[summerteeth]

I know the takeaway should be that Trump may not accept the election results, but I've become so numb to anything he says at this point.

Can anyone explain Clinton's policy proposal about sharing energy grids across Canada and Mexico and the rest of the western hemisphere? That has to be one of the worst policy positions I've ever heard from a real Presidential candidate in a general election. Has anyone seen Mexico's power lines let alone Brazil's? I don't want to integrate with that system. I would be more in favor of importing cheap labor through open immigration and amnesty than what she proposed.

Yeah, I have a great idea, let's share an electric grid with that!

Somebody realizes he just got his butt handed to him at the end of the debate.

Based on the way our grids work (I really have no idea how it is in Mexico but assuming a similar setup), you most likely wouldnt have Mexican homes directly linked into our powergrid. The grids would likely be linked to share energy at the plant or substation level, and then those would feed out to the users. We effectively have this now in the US between states. That's also where the "point of sale" occurs.

Not to mention most of those wires you see in the picture aren't power lines. It's a (ungodly) combination of power, telephone lines, coaxial (cable) lines, Cat 5 cable (think FiOS) and possibly even high-speed lines too.

So what can SNL use from this debate and how do you think they'll use it?

 

[Pink Ranger]

That's not really fair, she was up against a woefully inadequate opponent. Regardless of his politics, Trump is as good a debater as Gerald Ford was a beach volleyball player.

As long as it's more of this, I'll be happy

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Hillary, you's nasty.

And as many expected, women are taking the "Nasty Woman" comment personally.
