Members Soapsuds Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 They are also mentioning how he admitted to not paying his workers like he should have. Yes, he was a mess tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 And admitted to not paying taxes. And admitted to cheering for the economic downturn. And admitted he had nothing to say to the black community. It was incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 The audience cheered when he said he'd only release his tax returns if she released her deleted e-mails? So much for the audience keeping quiet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 This was the sentiment of many a Tweet tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 Good God, Trump was a FLOP. If undecided voters didn't figure that out tonight then IDK what'll get them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 All I will say is this: We as a country are truly screwed if Trump is elected. That's not simple hyperbole. Just the scary truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) I don't think people realize that this debate took place in the suburbs of New York. Hempstead, in Long Island has pockets of very conservative people. These are people who often picket and protest if someone proposes the idea of apartments or anything resembling affordable housing. Many parts are quite anti-Latino, claiming that too many Latinos change the 'character' of their neighborhoods, insisting that some Latino homeowners rent out illegal basement apartment dwellings to Latinos, while also happily using migrant (mostly Latino) labor for their landscaping needs and roofing, housepainting work. I watched the debate on PBS. I think that was the only way I could've watched with my sanity intact.

Members Vee Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) They did, but then they loudly applauded her (and laughed at him) multiple times. Then it became a competition between the Trump holdouts near the end while the rest of the audience was heavily with Hillary. Watch it yourself. It was a slaughter. CNN: 18 of 20 undecideds say they will now vote for Hillary. Edited September 27, 2016 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 Carl I don't see anyone in the media awarding him anything. Maybe Fox. But this was a disaster. What impressed me the most. Obviously HRC is knowledgable. But on the stage she stood equally. The visual side by side really worked to her advantage. He actually kind of looked unbalanced next to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 Jane is right. Everyone is replaying the split-screen of his insane expressions and constant movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 McCain was born on the panama canal which I believe was considered american soil so he was born as an american. it was a HUGE thing when he was running 9 years ago, but it was quickly shot down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) With Trump being a TV personality I was worried about image. Remember the verdict on the Kennedy/Nixon debates from those who watched it on TV vs Radio. And for all the gushing Quartermainefan does about Trump, he looked unhinged tonight. He tried to dominate but was shut down or rambled with stupidity when he asked for extra time. For all the complaints about HRC's lack of charisma, she was poised, thoughtful, humorous, and comfortable. And for Ms. Quartermaine, she looked beautiful. That red suit, I'll now call it her power suit, worked for her. So will Trump show for Debate number 2?

Members Vee Posted September 27, 2016 Members Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) The silly point a couple commentators are trying for is that he did OK for the first 15 or 30 minutes. No. He was off-balance, scared and uncomfortable from the moment she smiled at him, and his very first answer was stiff and struggling. It was a blowout, and even people like Chuck Todd are basically admitting it. Edited September 27, 2016 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
