The Debates Thread

Nice final question.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

He wants credit for not saying something not nice?

Yes, yes he does.

 

[Legendver2]

So is he going to answer the final question or not?

 

[Hotwire]

He couldn't even answer a single question without rambling onto other topics.

He couldn't answer a question. What policy did he put out there? Nothing.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

By the way, Trump continued to say to not protect our allies. The hell?

 

[Schlosser85]

I was pretty pleased with Hillary's performance.

Only if they pay.

The hell Brokaw, "no criticism of black on black crime" ???

 

[Legendver2]

She Benghazi'd it

 

[Thundercrack85]

Well, I was wrong. Hillary has come a long way.

She might have just won the election.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I was too. I was nervous about tonight, but I love how she needled him with facts, while keeping her composure and not backing down. I loved when she just let his words speak for themselves as well.

 

[Sithborg]

lol at Trump getting the hell out of there. I think the poor little baby needs to have a tantrum.

Somebody better keep him away from Twitter tonight

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Love how Trump talked about her stamina, while sniffling the entire night like he has a cold or did some cocaine before he came out there.

I want him to randomly see one of Olbermann's tweets.

Nicole Wallace has hit the nail on the head on NBC. If this were a normal election, I'd say Clinton won in an absolute landslide. But this is an election where Donald Trump got a bump in the primary polls by blaming a Republican United States president for 9/11.

Trump didn't have a melt down. He didn't say anything particularly egregious (or different from what he has been saying). That was all he needed to do. He is closing the gaps. He needs to make sure these debates do not reopen them. He can't win through the debates but he can sure as hell lose through them. Tonight, he didn't do that. So I call it a draw.

 

[OB12]

I thought it was deliciously absurd when he said he has the best temperament directly after a long-winded tantrum.

 

[Sithborg]

He's doing it in the spin room.

Whoever won, we all lose. Trump and Hillary missed so many zinger opportunities. There were a couple. Trump did his best to not explode and Hillary did her best to recite lines. All in all...meh. I heard not much substance from either side.

I'd say he was borderline meltdown with all the long rants. The next 2 are gonna be fun.

 

[Schlosser85]

He definitely went into these flustered rambles a few times.

So we should vote on the person who gives the best zingers?

Normally I'd agree, but it really doesn't seem like substance matters all that much this election...

 

[Lighthouse]

I think my favorite tweet of the night is Jerry Springer.

Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House. Donald Trump belongs on my show.

 

[chaseter]

Hillary just spoke 100% truth about having to pull out of Iraq.

Democrats were praising Obama for pulling out of Iraq and now they are blaming Bush lololol.
