I'm meeting another goon at a bar to watch this shitshow but I look forward to checking the thread when I get home. Edit: Please have already captured and posted any amusing facial contortions or reactions as gifs, thanks. Edit: I should mention that I have to go to a bar to watch it because my wife is too worried about the election already and doesn't want to see any part of it. davebo fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Sep 26, 2016 |

Can't wait to get baked, make some popcorn, and watch this wonderful, crazy mess go down. (And have NHL preseason games on if any are televised because I've been too lazy to check)

What is the absolute worst thing that Trump can say about any one or any thing and still walk away unscathed? I'm going to say it'll be calling Bill Clinton a rapist.

It's going to be really tempting to get shitfaced for the debate but please practice moderation. Or at least try to stay hydrated I guess.

I have many slave friends who had a good time and you have all the mainstream media saying another thing. Who really knows? Might have been good, might have been bad.

Donald Trump is going to be real condescending to Hillary in a bunch of subtle ways that almost no men pick up on, and a shitload of women do. That's my page 1 prediction.

He's going to hide a contract in his podium, and at some point, walk over to Clinton and try to pressure her into signing it.

How much are we betting he will slip and call her whore, bitch, or oval office at least once tonight if he gets pushed against the ropes enough? Trump is a mess!

My prediction is, sadly, that Trump will not actually defecate on stage, thereby achieving Debate Victor status in the media tomorrow morning. Hillary will drop another .3 in the polls, causing the forum to go eerily quiet.

Saving my drinking for tomorrow when the public declares Trump the winner of the debate. The bar is set so low for him, as long as he doesn't call Hillary a oval office and piss his pants, he'll come out on top tonight.

I'm betting it's going to be super boring since everyone including his team knows that people will be watching tonight to see him put his foot in his mouth. So it'll just be recited platitudes from both camps.

I predict... Hillary will be declared the winner, but polls won't move in her favor.

I feel that with Gennifer Flowers front and center at the debate, Trump will make a dumb comment about Hillary not being able to satisfy her husband or whatever and Hillary will deliver the knockout blow that sends women on the fence about her to the Dem side what's more likely to happen is that Lester Holt will poo poo his pants live on TV and won't fact check a single thing

Can I have some links to the debate? Apparently Bloomberg is doing live debate factchecking and they had a debate youtube stream but it got taken down?

The two can say whatever the gently caress they want, it all depends on whether the mods do their jobs. It sorta sucks!
