US Election Thread 2016

[Pureblood]

It starts in about two and a half hours, right?

[moof]

Yeah, the build up on CNN starts at 1am

[Pureblood]

I'll watch the first hour.  I don't think I've watched one of these before but this election is gripping.  I still think Trump has a massive chance, I doubt that video will do as much damage as hoped for.

It feels like Achilles last stand, to me. He's under a lot of pressure and I can see this getting quite nasty, might say something that jumps the shark, even for him. Or that's what I'm hoping, at least.

[Jose Jones]

Hasn't there already been a poll that had 90% of Republican voters saying it hadn't altered their opinion of Trump?

 

I agree with TK, don't think it will make too much difference, everyone knew that Trump was a crazy racist misogynist already.

The few undecided on the right might vote for Johnson instead, but dyed in the wool reps hate Hillary too much to vote for her.

[Pureblood]

So he's turned up with some women who have accused Bill Clinton in the past?

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

He has. Does he know he's up against Hillary, not Bill.

 

The last desperate throw of the dice by a beaten man? Particularly considering that two of the accusers have in the past withdrew their allegations, one by a sworn affidavit?

 

Also, in the past, Trump stuck up for Clinton when these allegations were made and slagged off the accusing women.

 

Oh look, Donald exploiting women again.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Clinton should just come on stage with a metal chastity belt and cage over her lady garden and give a cheeky wink to Donald.

 

Election. Won.

[cloggypop]

Are C4 showing this again?

[Red Phoenix]

If Trump doesn't bring up the Podesta email leaks from Wikileaks he's a fraud. I specifically mean the Edgar Mitchell emails as well. If he doesn't talk about Aliens, zero point energy or the Vatican, he's a plant.

He won't. They've got nothing to do with Bill Clinton.

[Red Phoenix]

He won't. They've got nothing to do with Bill Clinton.

 

Bill Clinton had Podesta in his administration as Chief of Staff, he's in on it too!

 

Turning it on shortly, no way was I watching the build up. If it's not the maddest debate in the history of debates I want my money back.

[Red Phoenix]

Bullshit, surely some of the audience are plants.

[Red Phoenix]

Trump brought up emails, wikileaks, told Hillary she'd be in jail if he wins. CIA Cooper told the audience they were wasting time by clapping and cheering? What a Hillary owned CIA fraud that cunt is.

 

Wow, Trump is wasting her here. Surely he can't keep this up, but it's still mad to see. I didn't think he'd bring it up like this.

[Pureblood]

Bullshit, surely some of the audience are plants.

 

One of them looks like hogweed. 

[Red Phoenix]

Trump could destroy her further here by bringing up US funding and arming Al-Qaeda in Syria, can't see him doing it though. Denying he was for Iraq war is completely false I think. He's starting to go back to his usual self after that start, it was impossible that he'd keep it up really.

[Red Phoenix]

Ah, all of the leaks harming her are Russia. Off we go again. Everything bad leaked on her is Putin's fault. Now she's switching to Trump's tax returns.

[3 Stacks]

[Red Phoenix]

Hillary and her no fly zone in Syria. How about not funding and arming Al Qaeda, psycho.

 

Wow, Trump talking about them helping rebels and that they don't know who they are. Not bad, but could've mentioned that they're Al Qaeda Donald.

[mattyq]

Trump is a stupid, evil piece of shit

[Red Phoenix]

Haha, Trump to moderators : "She goes a minute over, you don't stop her. I go one second.....very interesting."

 

He's weak on what he'd do in Syria, seems to be dodging it and has never really come up with a good answer. I dread what both of them would do regarding Syria to be honest. Clinton says arm Kurds and go after ISIS in Raqqa, fair enough. I could actually see that as a sensible strategy for a president and one of the best ways of defeating ISIS. But she's lying as well. She'll be against Assad and the Syrian army, against Russia, against Iran, she basically said it a short while ago. Drop the no fly zone shit too if you're bothered about not risking a world war, you fucking fruit.

 

She's too obsessed with Russia to be believable. Let's not forget that she blames all of these leaks on them too.

 

They're both fucked in the head on foreign policy by the looks of it.

 

Clinton : "Get dark, unaccountable money out of our politics." Yeah, you sound really convincing.

[Red Phoenix]

Good idea from twitter :

We're running out of time. Anderson, ask them about the clown sightings!

 

 

Was half thinking Trump was going to say something insane at the end there. I'd say he won this one personally because he attacked her on a lot of stuff that I never thought he'd bring up. He made her look like the fraud she is quite a lot. He also seemed calm throughout, I'm actually shocked. I still don't like him though, and he sounds like he could wreak havoc with foreign policy, the environment, and many other things, just like.....well, most recent presidents.

 

Glad it's over.

[karl1987]

Worst 2 candidates ever. It really is a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

[Anubis]

The NY Times fact checking of the debate. The only things Trump got right was the emails and Bill's fine.

Non US viewers everywhere wonder if the US can just detach itself from the planet and float off into space...

[ElishaScottBC]

Hillary praised Trump's kids, Donald respected Clinton's never give up attitude.
