The Politics Thread

Trump is talking about Bill Clinton raping a 12 year old? This is TRASH.

[Ms. Quartermaine]

Well that's a new one.

This is like a suicide tape. He is just staring at her and sniffing and rambling. She is just laughing.

A complete disaster. He is pacing around like a sleepwalker.

 

The Trump plants keep hooting and hollering in the audience, while Clinton's fans also applaud (and drown them out).

Interesting since when Howard Stern asked if Trump had an age limit he said "No. Well, I guess I don't want to be going after 12 year olds". Leaving me to wonder if 13 year olds were on the table.

Good lord. Im getting second hand embarrassment for Hillary and most of the American people just watching this. 

[Roman]

20 minutes in and Trump has LOST HIS [!@#$%^&*] MIND. 

[YRBB]

"Because you'd be in jail."

 

Is this MELROSE PLACE?

[Ms. Quartermaine]

I just read that. It went like this, right? 

 

Clinton: It's awfully good that someone like Trump is not in charge of the country.
Trump: Because you'd be in jail.

 

How did she respond?

[Juliajms]

Exactly. Max Fisher (Times reporter) just said he's hiding behind his couch. The vicarious embarrassment is off the charts. I'm not sure I can watch much of this.

Oh, I see Kathy Shelton. Hillary represented the man accused of raping her when she was 12. Hillary is on tape laughing when she says something like "Well I'll never believe in polygraphs again". Meaning Hillary believed he was guilty.  Hillary was appointed the case, I don't see what choice she had, but to take it. That's how our justice system works after all. She was not laughing about getting him off.

The audience reacted and Anderson admonished them and then they "moved on."

[AdelaideCate007]

Is there a reason the Republican party in America is so against what Im assuming is basically a version of socialised medicine? It works literally everywhere else so why not there?

[Soapsuds]

And now he went after Anderson Cooper. And why was Trump right behind Clinton when she was answering the man's question? That looked so creepy!

[YRBB]

I'm still trying to figure out what the problem with socialized medicine is.

[Ms. Quartermaine]

Kathy is there? I knew about that case, but I didn't understand Trump claiming Bill raped a 12 year old. To be honest, the laughing about the polygraph was hard for me to shake off and then she also laughed about the defendant saying there was a miscarriage of justice. After the case, though, she was instrumental is getting Arkansas' first rape hot line set up. 

[AdelaideCate007]

Same. I've lived under socialised medicine my entire life and never once had an issue or long waits or been denied coverage or any of the other problems they try and claim happen under socialised medicine.
