That person is not your friend, they're a loving police report waiting to happen. You're going to find them calling on you to let them crash on your couch for a day or two, then find out they just stayed for a week while drinking your booze, eating your food, and left while you were at work with half the poo poo in your living room which you'll later have to recover from pawn shops all over town. Sever.

I felt like Trump repeated himself more in this debate than ever before. If you cut out all the times he repeated himself I wonder how much that would reduce his speaking time?

edit: imagine if you cut out every time he repeated things he said in previous debates too. I'm not talking about things he paraphrased, but things he said word for word the same. He would have barely spoken at all in the third debate.

trump rlly cant fit that many talking points into his head, he has whatwver he's internalized from watching cable news, but beyond that, any other prep fails him

maybe bannon could have just recorded a cable news program tailored just for him with all the relevant points and beamed it directly into his skull

Also I've heard she's actually a legitimately nice person most of the time, whereas Trump spent every debate half a step away from rage-choking his opponent or threatening to rape her on camera.

lol i looked it up, apparently there are rumors that her hobby is restoring vintage radios in her spare time. is it true? who knows, her publicist denies it. in any case, its already rehabilitating her image in my head: it suggests that their is a deep inner life within her mind, that she needs to guard for whatever reason. like what people were saying about trump in the middle of the primaries, that he had a deep well of intelligence and insight beneath the bluster, before he continued to spout off and torpedo all doubts that he was a complete loving diot

Yeah, Trump was getting really frustrated last night and you could tell on some level that he knows he hosed up big. He didn't make a very big showing at either of the first two debates and his attacks this time were sad attempts to get under Clinton's skin, and she knew it. She upped the ante on her behalf -- calling him a Russian puppet really rattled him -- and that 'I'll keep you in suspense' line is probably what will finally be the one thing that people take away from his run. Clinton is running for president, and Trump is running for another season of his show that Arnold has taken over.

Trump had a lot to lose going into this debate. Nobody expected him to do well, and even his sad tactics of inviting people to shake Clinton show a lack of ingenuity on his part. He could have done more by simply behaving himself than trying to goad Clinton into....well, flipping out? Losing her cool? If Trump's goal was to showcase how reactionary Hillary is, he failed so hard that he probably handed her the election on that alone. But he couldn't stop tripping over his own feet long enough to do anything constructive. Messing up one debate is one thing, but Trump didn't prepare at all. Fox News structured the debate so he could elaborate and they forget that he really isn't prepared for anything. He tried to sound smart. He tried to hit on various controversies. It would have literally been better if he just not shown up at all because at least then he could have been doing something more constructive with his time.

The third debate was more destructive than his baffling and petty battling with the GOPe. I don't know who he thinks he is, but as of now I have a very clear picture of Donald Trump: a very lucky man who has somehow managed to avoid any responsibility for his failures and everything he has done 'right' has been nothing but luck. He's not a businessman, he's a joke. He's the perfect sign, yet again, of privilege posing as skill and talent. In short, yet another Republican only this time he doesn't feel the need to coat the fascism. I don't see the GOP really recovering from this and they were in trouble to begin with. Unfortunately for them, the Democrats seem to want blood and aren't taking prisoners.

Yeah there's something about the Democrats' stance this election that is mildly cathartic after how conservatives have behaved over the past 8 years. I'm glad that it isn't enough to just win but that it has to be such a thorough and detailed defeat for the GOP that their party collapses into a sack of deranged wolverines ripping each other apart. These people have a chip on their shoulder that will be ground off with fistfuls of salt. Good riddance.

If you can't debunk the material in Wikileaks releases, or you can't demonstrate that the material in Wikileaks releases are irrelevant to the actual issues at stake in this election, then you shouldn't be poisoning the well by taking shots at Assange.

I don't think I've set an unfairly high bar with either of those criteria.
