The Debates Thread

[enterthemadness]

Last I heard, Gary Johnson isn't in any of the debates.

My family and co workers are for Trump cause Hillary lies pretty much.

I'm for Gary cause he's honest and wants us out of the middle east. And he gives me hope. And i agree with quite a few of his policies.

But yeah..i know few people who trust Hillary. Everybody i know, at least family, are saying Trump didnt have to run, he isnt bought off, he has his own money, etc.

I truly hope someone has a bad debate and Johnson catches fire late.

It seems to me that the Trump campaign is trying to lower expectations for the debate by letting everyone know that he hasn't studied policy or prepared for the debate tonight. While that might help in setting the bar low for him to "appear presidential" it does tell us a lot about him and his way of doing things.
I posit that this is the exact lack of dedication and earnest study that he will employ as a president. Not bothering to learn about the subjects he will be making critical decisions on but winging it,shooting from the hip and relying on stupid people not seeing this as a fatal character flaw for a president but as a plus. Someone who doesn't overthink things and sweat the details. Someone who leaps and doesn't bother to look.

you should tell those people that if they aren't voting for Hilary because of lies then they for sure can't vote for Trump because his lies dwarf Hillary's. He lies an average of once every 3 minutes in his speeches. The majority of things that come out of his mouth are lies.

And as for voting for Johnson ..that guy is a moron. Other than legalizing pot he has zero good ideas.

"We like him because he tells it like it is!"

Clinton: Half of Trump's supporters are deplorables

"That's uncalled for!"

Haha, one drink per lie and you'll be done earlier than that.

1 sip for every "huge" "beautiful" amazing" or "great"
1 sip for every "email"
2 sips for every "Believe me"
3 sips for every "Some people are saying"
4 sips for every "We don't win anymore"

Great.

 

[childeroland]

But aren't we supposed to like the anti-christ?

Good point.

 

[Sithborg]

What I find worst is the lack of self awareness by some Trump fans, especially when they come with stuff like "What do a bunch of rich people know about us. The rich don't care about us."

"We hate how everything is controlled by a bunch of lying, rich people, who are only out for themselves... So we are voting for Donald Trump"

I believe it was Taarna who kept on going on about how Trump isn't bought by the special interests. Couldn't see that Trump himself is the special interests, he just cuts out the middleman.

1 sip for every "huge" "beautiful" amazing" or "great"

Still seems like a recipe for alcohol poisoning.

Ready to get this inevitable **** show over with.

 

[Schlosser85]

I feel it says something about the expectation level this election that I'm going in hoping Hillary doesn't have a hacking fit or pass out and fall off the stage or something.

 

[Legendver2]

If she comes across how she did in that last Benghazi hearing, then that's a good sign.

Imagine we are watching a playoff game. One team has been watching film, working on its plays, and practicing to win. The other team is saying how this is their first real playoff game and as long as they score, no matter how, or regardless of what the other team scores, they still win. And the audience is ok with that.

That's what this debate feels like.

NBC is streaming it on Youtube, so you should all be set.

And of course, that latter team will say somehow the playoff game is rigged against them.

 

[Marvolo]

We've reached a point in politics when fact checking is considered "rigging". We've gone full Idiocracy.

 

[Iceman]

Is Trump's revival in the polls down to rigging too?

 

[Schlosser85]

My family and co workers are for Trump cause Hillary lies pretty much.

That makes absolutely zero sense.

 

[E.NormusJohnson]

That makes absolutely zero sense.

Well she does... and has... a lot.

 

[Schlosser85]

But refusing to vote for one person because they lie, and then supporting another person who lies all the time, what kind of logic is that?
