I'm not sure if they still have the will or the institutional experience to make that kind of change. The voters that could have done it are fleeing the party and the leaders that could have done it lost their primaries.

Will there be a internet stream of the debate on Sunday night available for people around the world to watch? I've never watched a US presidential debate before but this one will be something special and I'd love to watch it live.

Also thanks to all the thread regulars here for making this thread really entertaining and a great read over the past couple months, it's been a ride!

Youtube does a livestream, and recently Bloomburg have been doing a stream on twitter with no commentary.

They're absolutely stuck with him now, right? Like even if he got visited by three Dickensian ghosts tonight and dropped out of the race tomorrow (because I think that's the only way he would drop out), he'd still be on the ballot?

You know what's going to happen? Turmp (I'm going to call him Turmp now because it's funny) might actually pull out a halfway competent debate performance and maybe start gaining back some of the ground he lost this week?

I'm a pessimist at heart. The glass isn't half-empty... it's going to spill.

I always assume the worst too, and I can't see it happening. He didn't prepare, he spent all week getting himself hyped up at his own rallies and he's convinced himself he won the first one; now he's smugly assuming that he can fix all his problems by screaming that Bill Clinton is a rapist.

He might be able to fake it for a little while, but he's under tremendous stress and I think he's going to crack when the pressure is on.

40 minutes to go. Also, I think they've driven out too many moderates to have a chance of reforming. They've been building up to Trump for longer than I've been alive. I think it's very telling that Romney took so long to get the nomination and the only person who came close to Trump was Zodiac Killer.

Ok, so with 30 minutes to go and the debate shaping up to be super ugly, what do you think Hillary will say if Trump start talking about her husband being a "rapist" or "sexual deviant" or whatever terms he decides to use? A while back this thread claimed all she would have to talk about was that her husband was never found guilty of anything and that she has stuck by him because she truly loves him and wants to save a wonderful marriage. She can pivot the discussion to Trump's cheating and divorces that way. Is that still what you imagine will happen?

Also holy moley the debate just was silent in the other tab for a while and while I was typing this post Beethoven's 5th started and scared the crap out of me.

The Christian justification for Trump is pretty simple. Hillary is pro unborn baby murdering and not anti-Islamic enough. All Trump ever did was call a bimbo a bimbo and maybe a few bimbos cast unwarranted stones at him. So what if he's lewd? At least he doesn't support sinful same sex marriages.

It's not a mystery. Sure some people might act holier than him, but as Jesus said, there are weightier issues of God's law which are more important than simply acting polite.

Welp. Loretta Lynch is a corrupt, paid agent of the Conspiracy, and when Bill had that conversation with her in her plane it was to agree not to prosecute Hillary in return for being kept on as AG in a Clinton administration. Trump just told the crowd this is the undeniable and complete Truth, based on the evidence that he knows it in his heart.

Can he say any random thing from a youtube comment section or does he eventually get hit with libel charges?

That certainly wasn't my intention for posting it, although I do think that's what the :smug: looking referee might have been thinking. Personally, I love that the next President is going to be someone that's consistently broken through glass ceilings into boy's clubs despite them throwing everything they've got at her. Trump is like the final boss to her life's work. He's like the personification of toxic masculinity, and I can't wait until he loses in a massive landslide to Hillary.

He offered his opponent quarter and they refused. The manpower and resource depleted Confederate army couldn't look after these prisoners without inflicting casualties through neglect and they couldn't risk setting them free. Neither did he order them to massacre anybody, he just knew it was going to happen. This was 40 years before the Hague conferences that established war-time customs.

He was following orders to execute all black union prisoners, and he should have been hanged for it.

Trump was in San Antonio a few days ago so I bought a trump baseball cap and a "life's a bitch , don't vote for one" button with Hillary's face on it and picked up a bunch of crazy conspiracy pamphlets because I don't think the next generation will believe how weird this election was and I want to have proof.

Also dropped five bucks on a Hillary button and bumper sticker to add to my Obama swag from 08 and 12, and my Wendy Davis Wu-Tang Clan shirt from when my sisters dragged me out to vote in the 2014 midterms.
