Here is my real take from the debate, if you supported Trump before, you still do, if you supported Clinton before, you still do.

If you thought both candidates are horrible human beings before, you still do.

The debate changed nothing.

In this debate Trump laughed about climate change, said nuclear war is on the table and encouraged China to invade North Korea.

I don't like Hillary at all but anyone who votes for a guy who says stuff like that must think we have another planet we can just go live on since they've clearly given up on this one

"We lose at everything" when it comes to commerce

"Everyone takes advantage of us" when it comes to foreign policy

Absolutely baffling. The most powerful country in the history of the world, the richest country in the history of the world, the country that can blow the Earth up about 200 times over... is apparently a victim of bullying.

This is definitely conservative white male politics. Victimhood despite being at the very top.

How much are we in debt? How well are we doing in trade? How much self-pleasure did you give yourself typing 'white male'?

Your post is consistent with the likes of how everytime a fly lands it spews it's guts all over it's target. But you can do that here in the War Room and it's ok. Come to the NBA threads and you can't, it's why you don't anymore because you got fact-stomped outta there and shamed with your ridiculous statements. <13>
 
I don't believe Hillary or agree with her policies, but Trump should have done debate training and should for the next ones. Hillary is good at this and was like a rock. I bet even her facial expressions and demeanor were trained for effect. She good.

They really have to get him reeled in on taking too much offense on her just poking him with mild shots. She didn't even really go all out on him. She just threw some general issues out there that he just took way too far. His "Iraq war" defense was just plain juvenile. He should've just disagreed, and then explained his position on that issue with all those sources in the press. Not ramble like a mad man on stage. That to me, was his worst moment.

Temperament got brought up, pretty sure trump showed his. I am expecting the same thing from Hillary next time. Cant change a temperament in 2 weeks.
 
fuck, everyone on this forum who supported Trump prior to this has clearly been fucking TRIGGERED. jesus christ.

He got absolutely murdered on the birth certificate. What was made absolutely clear was that he kept up the "controversy" for years after it was settled definitively.

Birth certificate and he race issues were just completely awkward for him. Probably his lowest points
 
I was mistaken, the debates aren't going to change anything. It's just going to come down to who is rustled enough to vote on election day
 
Look i think we all know Hillary won that.

but it wasn't JJ vs Carla.

it was more like, Conor vs Diaz 2.

Do people even really give a shit about who looks poised and who doesn't? The whole reason Trump is even up there is because people are sick of politicians and the system. At least he actually talked about stuff, all Hillary did was act like a politician, she pandered to people for votes.

talking about stuff and understanding and having substance on the issues are totally different things. you saw what happens on the latter tonight. ffs he talked about china and nk going to war.

0.000 coughs. In fact Hillary did not even take a sip of water the whole fucking time. And Trump drank a fucking gallon. Honestly, she treated trump like a child. Total fucking rout.

Right as I was thinking Hillary was starting to fade, she fucking absolutely lit into Trump about his cavalier attitude and cavalier comments about nuclear weapons release. Biggest body blow of the debate.

The split screen image was perfect. Every second Trump was speaking we saw the looks on Hillary's face, which were as if she were trying to understand a child with Turrets. A completely relatable and accurate feeling I am sure 3/4 of the nation had as Trump impotently rambled about how Rosie fucking Odonnel deserved his criticism at a fucking presidential debate. That's right, Trump brought up Rosie Odonnel of his own fucking volition.

HRC clawed his fucking eyes out. Couldn't be happier.

You realize its a tactic people use to just laugh and act like the person is crazy when they say something right?

It doesn't mean they're actually saying something crazy. Hillary even laughed when Trump called her out on the emails. HUHU I guess he was wrong on the emails!

Lol whenever Clinton wanted to reply to Trump, she got as much time as she wanted.

When trump tried to reply, the moderator kept interrupting with "we need to move on"

Trump won with the "why didn't you do this for 30 years" line. Hillary is a better speaker and debater, but her intentions were clear to anybody with a brain.

There were points at the debate where she literally just laughed instead of trying to refute a point he made. That is the KEY MARK of a loser in a debate.

A better mark for losing a debate is running out of steam 2/3 of the way through, and then over-explaining yourself when you're pinned down on being wrong.

That would be an outright admission of defeat. Not gonna happen.

This is something that better prep could fix. He just free-bagged it tonight, and it was clearly a bad idea. He's more used to the rowdy debates of the primaries. That style doesn't work too well in a silent auditorium, in a 1 on 1 debate and having to give long winded speeches.

He'll smarten up for the next one.

You assume he lost. Why?
 
Trump's only hope is to talk about the questions being skewed against him... which they absolutely were, but he handled it poorly.
