Elections First Presidential Debate Discussion: 9/26/16

Who won the debate?


  • Total voters
    495
  • Poll closed .
I feel like the debate will underwhelm. Far too much hype has been put into it. Trump has been acting far more mellow in recent weeks. I do remember the first GOP debate seeming like it was going to be a trainwreck after the first five minutes though
I'd say there's like a 20% chance this debate lives up to expectations. I feel like both candidates will try to play it safe.

Mellow in what regards?
 
Jill Stein protest outside -- NY crowd -- 90 mins of standing -- Policy vs Sensationalism!

all the ingredients are there.
 
Lets go Hillary! Verbally rape Trumps gay ass!(am I being edgy enough?)
 
Gonna grab some liquor and snacks and treat this like it was a major sporting event.

Since we're fucked no matter what might as well have fun with it all.

Let's go trump! Clown her ass! Whhhoooo MURICA !
I decided for myself a while ago that, since this was gonna be an unholy clusterfuck, to hope for as giant a farce as possible.
We have the two worst candidates ever squaring off in a giant circus of an election and throwing the kitchen sink to win.
I want some fuckin fireworks goddamit.
Let's do this.

IMHO, this debate is completely irrelevant. Most people will be watching to be entertained, not to help them reach a conclusion.

The founders set up this nation so that no single president can by himself/herself bring down everything. Civics 101. No offense, but it's getting annoying to hear people act like a single election can destroy us all. Basic fear mongering at it's finest. We'll survive with either of them. We don't elect dictators in this country.

I completely disagree. There's so much Gary Johnson support that has the potential to leak one way or another to completely swing the election. This debate will be yuge to garner support from people who wouldn't give it before.

If there is "so much Gary Johnson support" then why do you assume those votes could go to Clinton or Trump?
 
My conspiracy theory would be on:What will Hilary be on to "perk" her up?

Avoiding saying anything possible to make a soundbyte. Who expected him to not saying something during her fainting spell other than he hopes she is okay and to drop the birtherism thing
