The Clinton Trump Debates

[Norm]

I think Chris won.

Chris did a great job.

Pretty underwhelming performance from Trump. I think he let himself get trapped, spent too much time on the defensive over trivial shit and he didn't prepare. He came across as tired and unprepared to me.

Hillary came off as bat shit evil. But that's normal.

He also speaks in too many generalities and doesn't know how to properly articulate his thoughts. No really good zingers either. He tried but nothing stuck.

Noticed that the Trump family immediately piled into the limo and left while the Clintons hung around. Struck me as a bad sign.

[Designx]

Well there you go - Hillary will easily win this election. Trump is too damaged for people to believe his allegations against Hillary. That was the genius of what the Democrats did - attack Trump's character so that no matter what he says as an attack on Hillary, it won't be taken seriously.

He was trying to play to the crowd and he got them on two or three bombs but the moderator made them stay quiet which really threw him off.

I'm disappointed he never dropped "well your husband's a rapist" on her.

well now i don't think either of the boys near Caligula level. dunno about HRC... what else are the tabloids sayin these days?

I don't agree with that.
As I said -tonight by chance or by design [more by chance] -Trump reached into the ..subliminal mind of America- and yes that was
not all fireworks but it might have deep penetrating effect over the days...

Not always doing BIG explosion is the most effective tactic to kill -sometimes pricking with a small needle loaded with poison is the best method

Trust me,..I know something about those methods

she dressed well.

[Norm]

If Hillary wins I'll be the first to sign the impeachment petition.

[Donald Noory]

Poor Dumbald Trump. He was rambling like a homeless person with psychological issues, at the debate. Another debate loss. He was already going to lose the election, but just disqualified himself by saying he may not accept the results of the election. Bwahahahahahaha.

[Astrid Galactic]

LOL. First caller on C-Span said that he thought that Chris did a good job and that he did a better job than the others. Then he quickly snuk in InfoWars and that Bill Clinton is a rapist. Yes, it got over the air.

So far, it's too soon to tell how the people are thinking since they bounce amongst the 3 specific lines. They are each going true to form to what you would expect for each line. Good comments about Chris with each saying their preferred candidate did and good job and why they want them. Pretty lame so far. Might switch up stations soon.

[Donald Noory]

Dumbald Trump is a choke artist like Marco Rubio. Heh heh.

[bateman]

He didn't bother preparing for the single most important night of his political career. 

Or he choked.

Imagine how bad it would be if he had something really important to do, like running a goddamn super power.  Would he spend the afternoon before a meeting with a foreign leader watching TV in one of his hotels - like he fucking said he was doing before this debate?

This. I know for a fact he prepped for the second debate, and it showed, but tonight it was clear he was back to winging it. Hillary didn't put in a particularly impressive performance but goddamn did he blow it.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Welp... our country is fucked either way.

[Donald Noory]

'Trump: total domination. This is like Hulk Hogan taking out The Iron Sheik.

[bateman]

Welp... our country is fucked either way.

What pisses me off is that this banshee has gotten away with 30+ years of criminality and corruption, and a sharp, prepared R candidate could have buried her.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

The more I think about it, the more irritated I'm getting about Trump's performance tonight. That was pretty pathetic. Especially with the raging undercurrent of evidence against Hillnasty that's come out in the last few days.

[albrecht]

The callers on my local AM follow-up show are hilarious. I can't wait for the C-Span ones. But here lots of old ladies (who seem to have been smokers) and rednecks and a few who sound drunk. But, oddly, almost all from "good" zip codes, if you know what I mean. Classic stuff as host tries to steer them back on subject. And he is a good guy who does good interviews and not shock-jock and only has a regular show once a week that is really good.

Agree. But I did get the impression that he intentionally worked on keeping his cool which is good but he blew it when he needed to throw a good zinger or two. Not as focused or prepared either on some of the lines he could have and should have sling her way.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Yeah, Giuliani or Christie would have wrecked her shit tonight. There was no excuse for what a poor performance that was out of Trump.

[Uncle Duke]

I don't think it does. But let's say that a plant closes in a small town. It can maintain service jobs in that community until it runs out.

Some economists will argue that M1 money somehow magically multiplies. I don't buy it because it diminishes through sales and income taxes pretty soon after the checks are cashed. And unemployment is also subject to income tax.

Thanks for the insights, but I still don't get the premise at the nuts and bolts level.  The whole concept seems to be one ultimately one of diminishing returns.

YOU got that right.
Question is, will it be dry fuck -or lubricated ? ? ?

Exactly! Hell, a few people on BellGab could have taken her on and down.

Yeah, he, or his handlers, wanted to be moderate and allude to stuff but not go for the kill (focus groups? Sexism? etc?) I don't know, it could be, after all my initial idea that he was a Hillary guy that, maybe? So much stuff out there but for the normal tv crowd? At least he got wikileaks out there. Maybe they could look up some of the emails on their AOL account?

Totally agree

The Republican Party had a chance to find one, but instead y'all picked Trump.

[albrecht]

Tune-In says my local AM stations debates is Clyde Lewis. It ain't him but a local guy now. Tune-In I deleted because now they want to login and your email etc. Screw that. But odd during that Tune-In doesn't show when the local radio station is not playing syndicated stations but the debate and, now, the local call-in show.

Send me in coach. I could have done a better job against that disgusting woman.
