It certainly doesn't say that he knows how the common man feels or that he'd be willing to change the tax code so that he couldn't take advantage of it.

Sure, but why haven't democrats tried to fix the tax code so the rich can't exploit loophole after loophole and end up paying zero net taxes?

Or why didn't Hillary acknowledge that our tax code is absolute dogshit, which allows rich people like Trump to legally avoid paying taxes?

My thoughts.

Trump: Better debater, more charismatic, more suitable for foreign policy. His domestic policies would be disgusting.

Hillary: More sane, totally better at domestic policies. She never wanted to address Trump head on though which worries me.

Conclusion: I still don't like either candidates.

And I am in fucking bizzaro world.

Guys stop quoting the obvious Quote Bait Alt Account post.



And he is a popular Vice President and won both of his debates. So, Biden moreso exemplifies the differences between what Men and Women can get away with.
And Hillary easily won this debate. It still remains a criticism and something that she can improve on in round 2.
 
This blonde girl right now on CNN. How do the more sane people in the panel not say anything to her in response? I would have imploded. I can't watch this anymore. You guys that watch this shit daily must have a large amount of stamina.

Its happened before. Remember this lady?

She was fired right after E3 for being overly enthusiastic. Some people don't like that. It feels so forced.

It's sexism. Plain and simple. Women are criticized for smiling too much/not smiling enough, etc. etc. etc. etc.

I gotta put a pin in something right now.

The argument going on right now

Trump: Look at all this unfactual stuff he said!
Hillary: She smiled TOO much!

This election in a nutshell.

I feel like Hillary won but Donald didn't totally embarrass himself so it wasn't a KO punch for either side. In a week or so, polls will remain where they were. Nothing game-changing happened.

Everybody reacts to whats being seen here. You do, I do. Whether it sounds real or as pue political speech is open to each of us to interpret. But I see there's no use in discussing it with you as you have your mind more than made up.

Im not the person determining if they are a cold calculating robot from their smiles.

And open mind? Pot calling the Kettle black.

I felt Trump did enough to continue to be a slim chance of winning the election. I do think the media will say Hillary won and the polls of viewers will favour Trump winning the debate.

Trump still has the slim chance of winning because the protest vote is so strong and Hillary is not doing a very good job convincing people to get out and vote for her. Democrats would win so easily if they had a better candidate.
 
To be fair I think the issue is that 90% of her smiling seemed forced and fake.

Overall, she did as well as she could considering who she was debating.

her smiling and laughing honestly creeps me out. That temperament part where she kinda laughed and did her body shake thing was horrifying and cringy.

Absolutely, women are held to a different standard and it's 100% sexist bullshit. However I do not believe this lady was "fired for being too enthusiastic at E3."

I don't understand why people are saying he did strong the first 30 minutes when it was basically

I'm going to be the most tremendous Ronald Reagan and bring jobs back by cutting corporate taxes. Also I don't pay taxes cause that's good business.

Hillary didn't roast him enough on investing in education and high skill job market and how his plan would reflect on the average worker's salary and quality of life to be able to compete with China at manufacturing. She was weaker there for no reason at all, and it was embarrasing to see trump not know shit about macro economic and trade deals and babble like a baby on stage.

Btw what was the word he made up? Can't believe I forgot it because it was absurd as hell
 
PPP says they got 51-40 for Hillary on "Who won the debate?" This is really good since it's basically a snapshot of the electorate and it looks like Hillary got more people on board while Trump is still stuck at 40.

Because reworking the tax code isn't a thing you just snap your fingers and do. It's complicated, there's a lot of ideas in both parties about it that conflict. There was only a supermajority of dems in congress for one month under Obama to push something like that through without any republican descent.

You know, I really don't get why Trump thinks bringing Bill's indiscretions, is an indictment on Hillary.

To show that she's weak for staying with a cheater or that she can't please her man. Appeal to the conservative, family values-oriented women vote.
