For those who haven't been following the quick moving USPol thread, this is the context in which the debate will occur, shamelessly stolen courtesy of Reddit's r/EnoughTrumpSpam forum:



Here are the betting markets for the debate, in case you want to get in on the ground floor.

Tweeter earlier today said that it's literally going to be the first question lol

And Hillary won the coin toss. She gets to define the answer and make a few good jabs at Trump if she so chooses. Trump won't be able not to respond.

Chuck Todd doesn't give a gently caress anymore. I think this election kind of broke him.

Donald bad because of tapes.
Hillary bad because of emails.

He's lost it again. The average American hears "balance sheet" and they tune out.

Guys:

Trump threatened to jail his political opponent

But does that get any traction in the media? Chris Christie did it at the RNC and it only got angry grunts from left-leaning publications. It also got big applause in the debate hall.

I loved the part about the comment on mosul, where Trumps asks why should we even say why cover it because you might as well be giving your enemy a long warning, and the moderating explaining really quickly why news sources cover it.

"How do you respond to the humanitarian crisis in Aleppo?"
"Aleppo is already lost, death and destruction has rained down upon the middle east. gently caress 'em"

He completely cratered when it came to foreign policy.
