He's apparently doing a Donald J. Trump Special Event for Veterans at Drake University at the same time as the debate (8 PM CT), but there's no news on the particulars yet.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Just lol if you think someone needs to be physically present at the debate to win it. We already know the counter event will draw bigger ratings and Trump won't be interrupted by a news organization concerned with giving speaking time to a bunch of losers whose poll numbers can't even sum up to The Great Ones numbers.

Should I make a separate thread for Trump's event to contain the two or is this thread gonna do double-duty or what?

he always wins the debates. his calling card has always been saying the same apocalyptic poo poo as everyone else but with a sleepy friendly giggly vibe, and he throws in some genuinely funny situational comedy. i think the debates are helping him keep his polling numbers sooooo much higher than they 'should' be

Yeah, he has virtually no media presence anymore because his campaign is such a mess, these debates are basically the only thing keeping him in the public eye.

In the debate before last Cavuto (National Pokedex number 140) was talking about Wall Street raiders and said Bernie Sanders instead of Bernie Madoff but NOBODY corrected him, everyone in the debate (and probably most people watching) just went "Bernie Sanders? A Wall Street fuckface? Sure, why not, close enough". A disgrace.
