The Debates Thread

Ivanka sure is pretty.

Ivanka is like his one redeeming quality. The other two are completely horrible human beings just like him.

 

[SV Fan]

I knew she was going to say his kids.

I personally thought it was a cop out answer. I would point out his awareness for marketing, at least that is about him(and it's not propping him up with this position)

 

[DeadPresident]

Considering how everyone said after the lewd comments scandal Trump was finished he looked like he survived everything pretty well tonight, no slam dunk on Hillary's part.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Ken Bone, ladies and gentlemen

 

[childeroland]

He's like a horror film villain who keeps getting up after the final girl "kills" him.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

He doesn't gain anything tonight. All he did was get his base hot and bothered.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I thought Trump handled this pretty well. I'd say it was a draw, which is impressive considering what all happened earlier this week.

 

[Legendver2]

This is making me nervous again honestly. Was expecting a slam dunk on Hillary's part, but I guess that didn't really happen.

lol...everyone always forgets about Tiffany

****, I did.

Well Pence, if you want to go down with the ship, that is your choice.

Trump came out looking decent. Everyone thought he'd get eviscerated based on the leaked audio and it didn't end up being that massive. Hillary didn't manage satisfactory answers on the emails, again, and she didn't look as in control as the first debate.

It doesn't help that the female moderator protected Hillary from putting her foot in her mouth either.

 

[Schlosser85]

I didn't think it was as decisive a Hillary victory as the first one.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I agree. But I totally think she won, and that Trump hasn't gained any votes from this.

 

[C. Lee]

The reporters hosting the CBS station just said they are getting reports that Spence is "pissed" about what Trump said about him.

They had to force Trump to answer questions, while he backed Russia and admitted he didn't pay taxes. He blamed Muslims for Islamophobia.

But he tweeted his love?

 

[Thundercrack85]

I don't think she won. It feels like a tie. There were no moments where she really bested Trump. She seemed to be holding back if anything.

 

[Legendver2]

Well neither are going to lose any supporters. So how will the undecided look at this?

Sure, and while bad in isolation it just becomes more "normal Trump stuff". He's being assessed on a curve and in the discourse around this election as long as he doesn't outdo his latest scandal he's seen as having succeeded.

Normal rules of reason and decorum don't apply anymore, we're through the looking glass now.

 

[samsnee]

It wasn't a slam dunk for her but all he did was fire up his core base. He didn't gain any new voters.

 

[childeroland]

Does this stop the bleeding for him, if he is bleeding?

 

[DeadPresident]

IMO this debate did absolutely nothing, everything stays the same. Which is a victory for Trump considering he should've been drawn and quartered for the leaked comments.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Does this stop the bleeding for him, if he is bleeding?

It slows it down. But word on the street is that there's more damning audio coming forward.

While I agree, that applies more to his supporters then other undecideds.

Also Kelly Ann Conway just basically admitted she'd might bail. She let it slip.
