Remember that shaking your head while your opponent spoke was disrespectful in 2000. I bet about 40% of the country will be very happy if Trump makes silly faces and flips Hillary the bird the entire time she's speaking.

You could probably get 20% of the electorate doing nothing but insulting Hillary Clinton.

It's like how every American expat I meet that has had any experience at all with Deloitte and Touche calls them "Toilet and Douche", even though nobody else does. It's just American corporate peon humor. It's especially prominent here in Europe, where expats can hide behind the "stupid American" stereotype, as reported on in that clip. It's like using "irony" incorrectly on purpose around English majors.

Not the deep frying part but the bucket part is a little :q: for sane comfort.

For everyone saying Trump's debate expectations are super low (and they are), does that change if in the 2 weeks before the debate he hypes himself up as the best debater ever? Because I fully expect him to do that once he's committed himself to actually attending.

Trump tweet: "Not scared about debating Crooked Hillary. I debated many fine Republicans during the primary and won big league!"

I've still never heard a pro-life response to the fact that 30-40% of pregnancies terminate in the first trimester. And I don't even know where to begin explaining why that makes an anti-abortion stance look silly.

Pretty sure the response to that is going to be the same as to more noticeable miscarriages- it was God's plan, sorry.

He's not in office anymore so I don't get why this is really newsworthy at this point. The guy clearly has issues if he's still pulling the same stuff like before, even when it cost him his career.

Huma's still heavily involved in Hillary's campaign though and he's still a semi-public figure because of his time in office.

If you haven't seen the documentary on him, it's available in digital formats. It's a good documentary (last bit w/Sydney Leathers notwithstanding) and it's just heartbreaking that someone who understands so much, so loving well, can't understand that him flirting online has killed not just his carrier but is treacherously close to killing his wife's.

No, really, I grew up around pro-lifers. We were taught the whole range of pro-life stances in (private) school. I don't remember them ever talking about it, but maybe it's a fact they don't really want to bring up.

Maggie Habermann isn't some hack either, she's one of the leads on the NYT's presidential coverage.

Also the reason she's wrong is because, typically, going after a woman because of her sleazy husband usually pisses off female voters.

Hahaha. Let's pretend for a second that the leader of a campaign and the husband of someone working on a campaign are comparable. Yes Weiner being an idiot that sexts people is totally equivalent to a guy that ALLEGEDLY abused his wife, said his kids should go to a school with Jewish girls in it, and oh yeah is the head of a racist and misogynistic online news organization.

Lets play the ol' embryo is a person game. Even when people are dying of natural causes, we don't merely accept their death as a fait accompli but we do everything we can to spare their lives. Hence modern medicine. So if embryos are people and millions are dying from first trimester failures, pro-lifers should be investing millions in ways to prevent this. They should be running a Manhattan program to alter the basic functioning of the female reproductive system. But they aren't because they really just want to control female sexuality. To state the obvious.
