Radish posted:I could see Trump skipping out on the debates if he won saying "there's nothing left to be said from loser Hillary" and just coasting on that while she tries to ineffectually shame him into a rematch. However he did so bad there he has to do better for the next two so he can't just leave it like that and look like a huge loser. There's no way the media wouldn't eviscerate him for skipping on one of their biggest events every four years. To be honest Hillary won by making Trump lose so I think she still has room to grow and improve. It's not like she gave a stirring performance that can't be topped.

Lightning Knight posted:Meh. Nobody should expect stirring, Oscar-winning debate performance from Hillary because that's not what she's about and it's not important to being the President. We've been spoiled by 8 years of Obama, but most people aren't that good at debate or speech giving. That wasn't a criticism of her, just a response to the idea that the bar is going to be set higher for her because she won the first debate. I thought she did well but could have done much better given the opportunities she's getting and her knowledge and skill.

Majorian posted:Boom. See, this is how a presidential campaign is supposed to work. They've got it all teed up perfectly. Trump snarling "where did you find this? where did you find this?" as Clinton told the story, instead of denying it feels like it should be a campaign defining moment. It played like a villain in a movie getting his comeuppance. Edit: quoted the wrong post

Night10194 posted:"Don't play chess with a pigeon. It'll poo poo all over everything, knock the pieces over, then strut about like it won." Weirdly I see this quote all the time in right-wing circles, attributed to Putin talking about Obama. It's obviously fake but they loving love it.

BigglesSWE posted:"I am very underleveraged, I have a great company, I have a tremendous income" It's remarkable how he has to relate EVERYTHING to his personal empire. "This country, I have a hotel there..." "This city, I did many business deals there...". I saw a couple people point out how transparent it is that he can only conceptualize people and places in terms of what they are worth to him personally. What's even more remarkable is that like 40-49% of voters see that and think "yeah I'll vote for him."

theblackw0lf posted:I was impressed that Hillary outlined a bold progressive economic vision in the early part of the debate, something Bernie Sanders points out as well Because this was at the beginning of the debate, it literally got overshadowed by Trump stringing together coherent sentences without snarling, yelling, or saying slurs. It's crazy.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:So, is there a left-wing equivalent of Pepe? A meme that's pretty much exclusively used by the left, even if it didn't start that way. Friend and I were idly talking about it. Twitter has a pretty strong left slant so there's got to be something. Slay queen yaaaass

Trump snarling "where did you find this? WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?" as Hillary revealed a damning anecdote about him instead of denying it or saying literally anything else at all was a perfect moment. She probably didn't think she'd get that reaction in her wildest dreams.

I'm not gonna lie a small part of me is worried because hateful bigoted morons have a candidate riling them up more than any in recent history. They HATE Hillary, as much as they hate the first black president, and unlike either of Obama's elections there are major figures in their party inciting them to violence. At the very least several people are going to be seriously injured on election day due to Trump telling his morons to police the polling stations.
