Elections First Presidential Debate Discussion: 9/26/16

[TheStruggle]

Almost flawless victory for Clinton. Trump actually started pretty strong, but lost the plot quickly and just rambled on about a lot of nothing.

Now, do the people give a shit?

Trump fell apart after the IRS question

 

[NelmarksGhost]

So glad I drank to beautiful, and not tremendous. I'd have alcohol poisoning by now.

 

[The Diplomat]

Lol Trump said Hillary has been fighting Isis her entire adult life lmao wtf? Isis has only been around for a couple of years Senore Trumpo. Where he get his facts from pepe the frog?

I think that was his way of saying that she's been in the fight against al Qaida and islamic terror for years now (and failed), but it was such a weird, weird way of putting it. Her entire adult life? She's 70.

 

[VivaRevolution]

I was talking present tense, not future.

Fair enough, Trump is 100% guilty of hyperbole, but pretending like things are going fine and dandy isn't anymore honest.

 

[Throttlehead]

They both sucked. Sure, Hillary is more polished, but how can anyone trust her?

How do you trust a guy that lies his ass off every day. The most untruthful nominee in history (Trump).

 

[Fawlty]

Red Letter Media sums up my feelings on both candidates and this debate.

shoutout to RLM!!

She did everything right, she let him dig himself into a grave.

[Desdinova]

Hillary won for sure, but there were many questions attacking trump. He handled it poorly, though.

 

[Makani]

I thought that was an odd statement too.
I wonder if she meant to word it like that.

I think the issue is putting the onus on the woman like that. "Show you can do the same work as a man, and then you get the same pay." rather than accepting is a general principle. It was oddly phrased though.

 

[steelcity77]

He did start very strong, I was impressed with his demeanor. I think he will do better next time. It's far from over. Hillary looked healthy, and was intelligent and poised, and worthy of being president. She gets a bump from this, 4-5 (8-10 swing) points in the next week imo.

Trump's stamina waned a bit there. It was to be expected though. He didn't lose the election tonight by any means.

trump is holding rallies all over the country .. clinton rests in her crypt 5 days out of the week .. hillary backers don't want to get into a discussion about stamina

 

[Deleted member 196663]

Holt hasn't interrupted Hillary once. Constantly interrupting Trump.

Stop playing the automatic victim card and ask if there were legitimate reasons.

 

[Throttlehead]

what she is doing is not nice. does trump have the vocabulary of a 5 year old?

Yes he does, believe me.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Imagine wanting to get to the front of the crowd to reach out and touch a candidate.

These are adults, like in their 40s and 50s.

Fucking weirdos

I bet you'd want to touch the Bern

 

[Fawlty]

Jesus christ. Can't wait to see the cover of newsweek after this embarassment.

I had high hopes for Trump, that he could at least be educated on policy while being an outsider... but nope, he really thought he could waltz in with zero preparation. He'd do the same to the presidency.

Overstated imo. It was a clean finish by a good debater solid on policy. Not a huge blowout.

 

[Metal_Daze]

are you expecting the debates to sway dems or republicans to cross the line or to sway undecided or indies
I do not think partisans on either side will cross.

Aren't undecided and indies NOT on either side? They're the target of this Debate!

 

[gigantalor]

He barely said shit.

Yeah, but you could tell by his silence how biased he was.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

Cliffs ? Just got home ....how many times did Hillary cough , fall down or take an unscheduled break ?

Trump looked triggered constantly interrupting Hillary and the Moderator and blaming MSM at one point with little to no policy on anything. He does have a secret way to beat Isis that's so secret not even he knows what it is yet. I think he's waiting for the right 4chan meme to tell him what to do about Isis.

Nice Hilliary. She has emasculated the 10 billionaire. Pathetic Trump loss.

All he has left is an incoherent rant. Hillary just smiles.

You know what's pathetic? A grown man with half a brain supporting a corrupt politician like Hillary.

Fucking weirdos

Tell me about, prince Andrew and his wife came to town this weekend and people lost their sh*t ..... at least Trump and Hillary have done something in their lives
