You know there was so much shit in the debate that it's just now fully sinking in:

A presidential candidate of the United States said that blowing up another nation's ship would not result in a war and that's the right way to deal with Iran.

Am I tripping? That actually happened in relation to the Iran question, right?

 

[Ahasverus]

I'm not an American but a thought just popped into my head.

If Hilary wins the election, then would this be the first time (ever?) that a Husband and Wife were elected president of the same country in separate instances?

Argentina did it 5 years ago or so

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Uh dude it would be the first time a woman was elected period

No it wouldn't be.

 

[Stinkles]

No one forget that the fraternal order of police are backing Trump.

"They just announced today, just got that delivered to Trump tower today."

Couldn't even tell the truth about a positive. This happened very publicly last week.

He can't not lie.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Excellent debate from Clinton tonight. Can't wait for the other debate.

As far as liberal candidates go I would argue that Jill Stein holds that position a bit better.

Fuck no. Any candidate who thinks or whose party thinks that vaccines cause autism and that wi-fi causes brain tumors is not one to hold any position better.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I'd say he was "rattled" but did not become "unhinged." IMO Hillary didn't knock him out. But she won.

Halfway through he went on a non-sequitur about having a good temperament and 10 minutes later he bragged about having the "restraint" not to bring up Bill's infidelity before whining about how Hillary is too mean to him.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Donald thinks it's not important. That's all you need to know.

Unless it's affecting one of his businesses of course.

 

[Krejlooc]

Uh dude it would be the first time a woman was elected period

The united states is not the only country with presidents.

 

[USC-fan]

So what do people think about Hillary's policies?

Or is how much she smiled the only thing they can complain about?

policies dont matter this election. Its all about emails, tax returns and who started the birther.

At least going by all the talk on the network. smh

 

[finowns]

Was Gennifer Flowers there?

 

[Knoxcore]

I'm not an American but a thought just popped into my head.

Kirchners from Argentina.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Anyone have a non-NBC youtube link to a recording of the debate? For some reason my work network hates that one video in particular.

 

[kvothe]

I liked how he called out the other countries in NATO for "not paying their dues" when earlier in the debate he admitted to not paying federal taxes.

 

[Gattsu25]

I didn't watch it, but looking at summaries makes it look like Holt did a good job calling him out on BD (Iraq, taxes), without seeming bias. Dude did his job, basically.

Yeah, Holt did a great job of letting the candidates speak without letting them get too out of pocket and asking some tough questions that they didn't want to answer. He did his thankless job.

Exactly. Seems a lot of people missed that.

In America. Not in the world.

The former is illegal, the latter is completely legal.

Commendable even. Fuck off.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Trump camp really doubling down on this "we didn't bring up Bills love life" strategy.

 

[xxracerxx]

gj Hofstra

Professional to a tea.

 

[brochiller]

There's a big difference between ignoring your taxes so you don't have to pay them, and exploiting the tax code so you don't have to pay them.

The former is illegal, the latter is completely legal.

How do you exploit the code like that and it be legal?

And tonight's winner for "weirdest tweet that is somehow real" goes to:

 

[Shake Appeal]

"They just announced today, just got that delivered to Trump tower today."

Couldn't even tell the truth about a positive. This happened very publicly last week.

He can't not lie.

I kid you not, in the spin room afterwards he denied that he had said, in the last hour, that paying no tax was a "smart" thing to do.

 

[Brakke]

Trump overall is just the canary in the mineshaft. His rise is a sign of what the average level of intelligence has drifted towards, aside even from his support among people who are literal white supremacists.

Dumb country with poorly educated population; conditioned to respond to celebrity and television status; goes hog wild for reality show host who represents the low-class perception of what wealth, strength, and power look like.

For someone who wants to set himself up as some superior intellect, you sure bungled the "canary in the coal mine" metaphor.

 

[AkumaNiko]

 

[Calm Mind]

I remain optimistically cautious despite the one-sided nature of that televised thrashing.

 

[Killthee]

All 5 are on this playlist.

[Earthstrike]

In the current political climate of rampant galvanisation, there's no way you look at these polling numbers and think it's good. No way. Each party should have at least a 37.5% guaranteed base.

 

[Battlechili]

Fuck no. Any candidate who thinks or whose party thinks that vaccines cause autism

She does not believe that vaccines cause autism.
I can see people construing her words to seem as if she panders to anti-vac people, however she definitely does not believe that vaccines cause autism.

 

[MetalGearZed]

The two moments that stuck with me:

"She deserved it."

Trump's very loud "ughhh" after Hillary brought up African American communities or something.

Overall, as a non-American gaffer, I thought Hillary easily won this. Trump brought a lot of energy at the start, but fell apart a third into the debate. Hillary was in control most of the time and she let him destroy himself which was a perfect strategy.

ikr!? it was like he was going "Here she goes again with the 'blacks can be productive' bit" like wth
fuck Drumpf

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Exactly. Seems a lot of people missed that.

a lot of us saw it, but then the next hour happened or however much time was left. It's a lot to take in, dealing with his fuckery.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

And tonight's winner for "weirdest tweet that is somehow real" goes to:

is...


is this real

 

[Akira]

How come when I share this on Facebook the GIF won't show up in the preview? People have to click it.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Donald thinks it's not important. That's all you need to know.

WRONG

 

[Trouble]

Argentina did it 5 years ago or so

Welp, guess we'll have to invade after Hillary wins. History books will need to be rewritten. I wonder what we'll rename the country to, maybe 'South America'. Has a nice ring to it.

 

[civilstrife]

He is now actively denying saying some of the things he just said.

[Krejlooc]

Watching donald trump talk about "the cyber," I know what it feels like when doctors watch hospital soap operas

 

[User1608]

This is not a surprising result. Particularly with Trump.

 

[kevin1025]

So is Trump doing an impromptu rally across the street, or is he skipping it after he said he would? There's conflicting reports.

 

[Stinkles]

In America. Not in the world.

And where is this election happening again? I forgot. The local Bennetton store?

 

[Oersted]

Republicans actively pushing adequately competent.

The craziness... I'm just lost for words.

 

[Exile20]

This assumes that Ford shouldn't build the Small Car plant in America. Then there would be a large net positive job impact in America.

[Not that I'm a Trump supporter or would vote for him]

Trump didn't word it that way. That is the problem i have with what he said.

 

[SolKane]

These Trump shills on CNN keep bringing up the fact that Hillary prepared for the debate. That's like calling out the kid who gets an A on the test for studying too hard instead of hotboxing outside the Dairy Queen with the kids in the back of the class.

 

[PopeReal]

Trump was so rattled. "I want to say something mean but I won't."

 

[Eidan]

I'm not an American but a thought just popped into my head.

If Hilary wins the election, then would this be the first time (ever?) that a Husband and Wife were elected president of the same country in separate instances?

Argentina and the Kirchners.

 

[Loxley]

To the shock of absolutely nobody.

 

[Armaros]

She does not believe that vaccines cause autism.
I can see people construing her words to seem as if she panders to anti-vac people, however she definitely does not believe that vaccines cause autism.

GOP Politicans might not believe their dog whistles

But they are dog whistles all the same, And she most definitely dog whistles about vaccines like she was an anti-vaxxer, Stein rightly deserves to be racked over the coals for her vaccine talk.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Ford fact checks Trump:

http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/15/news/companies/ford-trump-jobs/index.html

 

[TheOfficeMut]

But that's the thing. One thing is what she has published on her platform, and another is what she is really into.

As anything, is not black or white, both have good proposals (Trump: US not being world police, Hillary. continuity on Obamacare) and bad proposals (Hillary: TPP, Trump: that freaking wall)

Okay so you're going to ignore his platform and pretend it's better than Hillary's with regard to white nationalism and all of the terrible shit associated with it.

Okay.

 

[USC-fan]

This is not a surprising result. Particularly with Trump.

That has nothing to do with this debate.
