Are you expecting Trump to go big and wild or to play it straight and "normal"?

If Trump's apology about things he said 10+ years ago doesn't cut it, Clinton's apology about things she said this year doesn't cut it either.

Hillary learned a long time ago that there are no negative consequences for making shit up.

Trump's debate performance has been uneven but respectable. I don't see it winning over many educated woman voters, which is what he needs.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together বলেছেন...

Is Anderson Cooper really saying that attending to your campaign, as with the job doing president, at 3 AM, is somehow undisciplined?

How does he get away with this insinuation? It can go either way. Working into the wee hours of the night doesn't make you undisciplined.

Clyde বলেছেন...

She's talking up Bill Clinton's economic record. Well, Obama hasn't had 3% growth in any of his eight years in office -- the first president EVER to have had such poor economic growth, and Hillary's prospective policies are unlikely to improve on that sorry record.

Original Mike বলেছেন...

I think he's actually coming out tying her in terms of effectiveness. She wants to make it personal, he can go back personally.

Like it or not, none of the other Republicans would have gone there. They needed Trump because Hillary would always make it personal, and sexist, and he's the only one willing to fight back on the same grounds. The others would have shuddered, as they always do with her.

Limited blogger বলেছেন...

Trump 10 Martha 6 Cooper 3 Clinton 0

So Hillary wants a court that is a progressive super-legislature. She wants to overturn Citizens United a ruling that allowed her crimes to be exposed.

I've heard people beating up Trump supporters but not the reverse. You might have different information.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together বলেছেন...

Doesn't matter. Cooper's question referenced the time. Not the topic. He related discipline to not staying up and tweeting. I heard the question in its entirety. No hiccups on my line. No reference was made by the questioner to the topic. Just that he was up late tweeting.

Sprezzatura বলেছেন...

"The others would have shuddered, as they always do with her."

Completely wrong. Anyone else would have been hammering and hammering and hammering and hammering change v status quo. But, HRC has him so diverted that he can't remember what he should be doing.

Trump.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together বলেছেন...

Completely wrong. Anyone else would have been hammering and hammering and hammering and hammering change v status quo.

Not effectively. They would have been recycling the same Republican talking points I've heard for decades. No one cares about that. Trump's approach, rhetoric and ideological style are way more diverse. Other Republicans wouldn't have given a shit about what she and the DNC did to Sanders supporters. Or blacks. Or whatever. He does. Say what you will - he's not hemmed in by the GOP and that's exactly what they needed. She controls the DNC; there's no way someone controlled by the RNC could have made a dent in someone with that much power.

Trump is winning. He is talking about a prosperous future where all Americans can take part in the country's greatness. He is talking about reversing 30 years of slow decline.

Clinton is losing. She is talking about maintaining the status quo.

Sprezzatura বলেছেন...

R&B,

We can agree to disagree. DJT was planning to rest this argument on the 30 year thing, just like he did in the first debate. But, HRC came ready to blow that apart. Another R would have come armed w/ a new, powerful way of making the point.

No one.

Owen বলেছেন...

Hard to watch. Trump seems to be unable to move, as a debater must, from specific facts to general claim and back again. Apparently his coaches stuffed his RAM with sound-bites and generic themes and turned him loose. He is so excited at the fat target pictures that keep appearing in his sights that he jerks the trigger or swings early. Some damage done but OMG what 6 months' training in forensics could have done. My sad conclusion is: he's an angry slob, what you see tonight is as good as it will ever get.

Does that mean he should never get the launch codes? I don't know. His weaknesses do NOT redeem her.

Maybe, as Scott Adams suggests, we should go for Johnson/Weld.

tim maguire বলেছেন...

If Trump had given this performance at the first debate, he would be far in front right now. As it is, I think Rhythm and Balls has it right. He stemmed the bleeding, halted the slide. He still needs to make up the lost ground.

Paul Ryan is probably sweating a little.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together বলেছেন...

I do have to say one thing, though. As much as I hate the DNC, the journos right now are talking about Trump stopping "the panic" among his party.

Panic?

WTF. What a bunch of cowards. They should have been defending him from the get-go. There was absolutely nothing to this accusation, whatsoever. A tape. A bunch of words. Nothing substantive.

Beloved Commenter AReasonableMan বলেছেন...

Bill is a liability for Clinton. She gains from the perception that Bill's presidency was successful economically but she loses more because the two of them have so little credibility, thanks primarily to his lack of discipline.

The "panic" was among the establishment hacks who are worried about their tenure in Congress. They will be dealt with by the voters, if not in '16, then in '18.

Look at how quickly Democrats jumped to defend Bill Clinton from every sexual accusation ever levied at him.

For as much as Republicans form a firewall in every other regard, their willingness to completely fold on this thing was very notable.

The Clinton Campaign thought the audio and subsequent politicians and media personalities on the right abandoning Trump would be the end of his campaign, so they didn't prepare for the debate tonight.

Still watching CNN. Van Jones says his threat to investigate and/or jail was a new low.

How could he not go there? She totally got her goons to accuse him of sexual assault. She's about as guilty as sin of as many ordinary citizen jailable offenses as any government official.

cubanbob বলেছেন...

Meaghan Kelly just demonstrated that she is a dumb bimbo. Kelley should tell us if she voted for Bill Clinton and if she was against his impeachment.

Trump missed a few opportunities to smash Hillary like stating the economy cratered in 08 thanks to the economic IED's planted by the Clinton Administration. Or go into detail about her graft.

Hillary! said a lot of stuff that is just pure B.S., and Trump did not have the facts or speed to challenge her on them. He is not a good debater.

On the other hand, I see several commenters thinking he did well, so maybe it is just that I do not follow that muddled manner of his. Muddled to me anyway.

wildswan বলেছেন...

I could not, could not watch and now it's impossible to find out the result. No one seems very sure. I guess that Hillary did not win since then everyone would be sure. Trump didn't get destroyed because they'd be gloating. A draw? Trump put himself back on the map and now the "e"s (establishment) are baffled?

Maybe tomorrow I'll be strong enough to watch it on Youtube.

It must take more than fifteen minutes to do all that's required to give assholes like unkle#55 something to say.

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil বলেছেন...

I think Trump having that presser before the debate with Paula Jones and the other women and then bringing them in to the debate was a brilliant move. If he hadn't done that we would have listened to 90 minutes of attacks on Trump and his pussy talk. They couldn't go where they wanted to go with that, so they actually had to talk about other issues.

Hillary was playing defense much of the time.

Hagar বলেছেন...

It'll take at least a week to sort itself out.
This was a debate that was new low for debates by far; like nothing ever seen before, and it will take time for people to sort it out in their minds.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together বলেছেন...

The Bushes did it. Jeb was so pissy about how Don hurt his feelings. Didn't he go in front of an audience to talk about how Don hurt his feelings and was then ushered off the stage before he could finish his comments?

Ok so now that Jeb's floppy attempt to take vengeance on Trump failed, can we get on to a real campaign?

What's the matter with these journos BTW... saying that Trump's a third world dictator for jailing criminals? That's what happens in a law-abiding society. We're letting too many people go with too many pardons, political and otherwise, regardless of party. There have to be some standards, after all. No one thinks Hillary holds the law in high regard. No one.

Trump didn't need to answer all of her claims, that is a trap so he can't attack her. He answered the important ones and that is sufficient. That left him plenty of time to land solid blows on her credibility and judgement.

If Trump were a skilled, well-prepared debater, Hillary would be a puddle of quivering goo right now. That's how bad she was.

There was nothing new of substance, but, really, did we expect there would be?

Lewinsky is old news. The Kathy Shelton case is, IMO, much more damaging to Hillary's phony reputation as a protector of women. BTW, I just heard that Trump could not seat those women in the front row at the debate. The organizers didn't want Bill and Hill to have to look at them.

NBC seems a bit desperate: "Fact Ceck:: Trump said Clinton "acid washed" her email server.

They do not seem to realize that they do not help Hillary when they do this. Trump knows that Hillary did not dunk her servers into a bucket of Clorox.

I watched only part of the debate. The feeling I get from the parts that I watched is that Trump clearly won the debate but of course that may be due to my bias. I’ve got it all recorded for possible reference.

I see from the post ops that Trump got into it with the moderators. I assume the moderators were blatantly unfair and believe it was probably a good tactic for Trump to ensure that it did not go unnoticed.

The camera had to follow Trump as he paced around in the split screen format. That movement detracted from Hillary’s more static presentation. In the theatre it’s called “scene-stealing.” And apparently Trump stood throughout while Hillary sometimes took to a chair when she wasn’t speaking. That contrast can only be good for Trump.

The polls next week will settle the question. On the polls – I don’t trust them but they are what we have until that final poll – the election.

It’s not the pollsters’ fault; it’s that Trump is such an unusual candidate, attracting first-time voters, and the continual MSM anti-Trump barrage has made it uncomfortable to openly support Trump.

There’s no Trump decal on my Toyota for the same reason there’s no NRA decal, and for the same reason I do not open-carry: I have no desire to become the target of righteously crazed lefties.

So I always tack on 3 or 4 points to Trump’s numbers in my own calculations. Maybe the only other gauge is Trump’s huge rallies against Hillary’s anemically attended appearances.

Though I didn't see much (Packers won, BTW), I did see Hillary's reponse to Trump's calling her out for deleting 30,000 emails. But I turned over 30,000 more, she bragged. Incredible.

Peons should be satisfied with half the story.

Fox fact checked Hillary's statement that she was gone as SOS when Obama made his Syrian "Red Line" policy and speech. She lied.

Matt Sablan বলেছেন...

I thought that she was SoS then. She was SoS from, what, 09~13? The red line I think was issued in 2012, but I think it wasn't broken until later?

Known Unknown বলেছেন...

There is a thing on FB(?) that a fly landed on Hillary!'s face and she did not notice it?

She's a Westworld host. Althouse was right about the use of "short-circuit."

Been watching more cable post ops. Favorite narrative:

The debate is unimportant, signifies nothing and will be soon forgotten. What will not be forgotten(and will be run over and over by the MSM) is the Access Hollywood tape.

That means that our man Trump won the debate.

mockturtle বলেছেন...

Per EDH Trump said if elected he'd put his opponent in prison.

How excellent is that?!!!


I thought she paled momentarily at that statement.

walter বলেছেন...

Trump's team should have put mics (and a press feed box) in front of the "alleged" Clinton victims for their statements.
Amateur shit like that gives press an excuse to not record or play it.

I received my HRC-for-jail bobble head in the mail yesterday. When I ordered it (by following a link from a con in these threads) I thought it was funny.

After hearing DJT (hopefully jokingly?) saying he'd put her in jail, it doesn't seem as funny.

Anywho, it was also a downer to see that it was made in China.

Original Mike বলেছেন...

Spent some time watching the CNN "fact checkers". Holy cow; Trump was false when he said Hillary had her emails deleted while they were under Congressional subpoena and Hillary was true when she said the FBI determined that her server wasn't hacked.

Alternate reality TV.

Sprezzatura বলেছেন...

OM,

Stay away from fact checking. Never leave the bubble.

Original Mike বলেছেন...

I don't need fact checking on those points. I just wanted to see the shit they were shoveling.

Original Mike বলেছেন...

CNN actually said that Platte River accidentally deleted the emails after they were subpoenaed.

"Because you'd be in jail"

That about sums it up.

BTW,

DJT is hitting Twitter as harder than I've seen because he needs dough.

All of you folks who want to see justice (as you see it) for HRC should immediately go to the DJT website and give as much as you can.

Hurry!

Next few days will be interesting. Next polls will only reflect Billy Bush tape and Trump will tank. Then debate polls will come out (the professional ones) and will basically reflect the preferences of those asked. Then Trump will go ballistic for a week. Then news.

William বলেছেন...

I thought Trump was the clear winner. The pundits are in the process of trying to convince the American public otherwise. Perhaps they'll succeed. They're much more persuasive than Hillary.......They're inviting any woman who had ever dated Trump to come forward and claim that he groped her.........I don't think Trump will win the election. Salacious scandals seem to have more top spin than email scandals. That shouldn't be, but that's the way it works.

I had a TS/SC Clearance while I was in the army. If I did what Hillary did I would be in jail for multiple life sentences.

It is not a joke. If you place any value in equal justice under the law and the rule of law in general you must want Hillary to go to jail. You want to let her off because she is wealthy and powerful. You are a disgusting human being.

I haven't donated to anyone since 2008. I told the wife tonight that if he did well in this debate, we'd donate, because then he'd still be in this.

Time to put my money where my mouth is.

Why is that? He can't just toss her in the pokey. There would have to be an investigation and a trial. As Achilles said, do you think she should be above the law?

I recall that Hill had no problem with that film maker going to jail for a year for making a film she falsely blamed for the Benghazi fiasco.

That was my link. I don't consider myself to be a con, either the conservative kind or the kind that Hillary deserves to be. (I posted it because someone made a reference to a Hillary bobblehead. Maybe a joke? I don't really remember. Anyway, I had seen the one that Trump had for sale and thought it was funny so I linked to it.)

I think he meant an honest one.

"I can get you one made in the states for a cool $199."

Mine was something like $39, incl shipping.

And, it is fairly good size. Also, the box sorta looks like a jail cell with bricks printed as the background and an open side where you can see HRC in a blister pack. One side lists the criminal charges. Presumably this could be evidence in a DJT kangaroo investigation, rather than the Comey model we have today.

" kangaroo investigation, rather than the Comey model we have today. "

Please explain the difference.

Special prosecutor and a grand jury, indict Comey too.

And thus my point about shit like that being made in China is made.

Until 5 seconds ago I hadn't taken HRC out of the box.

I have to admit it's pretty cool.

Feels weighty. Good wobble/bobble action. The ball & chain on her ankle is a nice touch.

I don't know how this will play out, but Trump probably took the only path open to himself tonight. At least Cooper opened the subject for him, though one could argue Trump forced the issue with the pre-debate press conference.

I think it will really come down to this question- outside of Clinton's strongest supporters in the electorate, how many of them really believe the Clinton campaign isn't coordinating all of these revelations of the bawdy sex talk? If you can see through that charade, Trump's counterattacks might work for him. However, if they think the Clinton campaign has nothing to do with it, it won't.

Also, there is probably another shoe to drop- Cooper made the point of asking Trump directly if he had ever been accused of sexually assaulting a woman. Whether he has or not, I think the Clinton team will find someone who will step forward. Anita Hill did it once, so I would not be surprised to find it happening later this week, like Friday afternoon again.

Sprezzatura বলেছেন...

She's actually quite thin.

And, the face looks younger than reality.

Nice smile too.

She has a pearl choker and her prisoner number is HC2016.

It's sorta endearing.

BTW, I meant thin compared to reality. Not compared to DJT 10s

One interesting thing is that NBC sat on that tape for 11 years, all the while paying that horrible, despicable man $$$$ for The Apprentice.

Do people even think of that?

True, it does open that door. He will just have to fight it out if and when any crap is drummed up. Perhaps the child rape calumny will have taken off by then. I do hope there is more ammunition to be fired at her, though. Pleasant to see the bullets bounce off him. <--not referring to actual violence

Stay the course, people. It ain't over till it's over.

Yes, Cooper pushed that a little to hard. They have something cooked up and ready to serve.

EMD,

I have been thinking about Billy Bush's role in all of this. At the time the recording was made, Trump wasn't a politician and no one at NBC would have given a shit about it, as well they shouldn't have- at best it would have been a National Enquirer level story. As such, it probably sank into the memory holes of all involved. I am guessing that when Jeb Bush was running against Trump in the primaries, Billy Bush told his cousin about the conversation, and probably remembered that it was likely recorded, too. Again, since it wasn't used, one can speculate that they were unable to acquire the footage and audio from whoever had it. Without the recording, the hearsay accusation from Bush would have been worthless. Whoever they dealt with at NBC, however, did find it and I believe they gave it to the Clinton campaign, or at least asked them what to do with it. That is why it was held until Friday.
