The Politics Thread

[Eric83]

Moderator: "What do you think will happen if Aleppo falls?"

 

Trump: "I'll think it has fallen"

 

Fix it Jesus.

A few minutes back but did he really say Russia is new to nuclear weapons? Just make it stop.

Cooper invokes Machado. Trump loses it.

[Ms. Quartermaine]

Is this really a quote from tonight? "She has tremendous hate in her heart. She has tremendous hatred. Tremendous."

Edit: Looks like it is, and here's the reaction from Bill and Chelsea.

Between tonight's debate and the ongoing clown hysteria, I'm guaranteed another sleepless night (or several).

[Soapsuds]

The whole debate was a complete disaster.

I need a damn drink after all of that. Jesus.

He looks miserable as he leaves.

 

He didn't collapse onstage, but he couldn't really hurt her. He did nothing to help himself outside his base. He dismissed Pence, who may or may not still be on the ticket. He was cold, sarcastic, combative and petulant to the moderators and Raddatz humiliated him, and he confirmed he has paid no taxes. No needle moved.

 

It's just deeply depressing and tiring - another month of this crap before we finally get rid of him. It's a grim death march.

That last question was a mic drop

[Vee]

Chuck Todd says he played to his base but did nothing else: "Trump will have a very bad 48 hours. He did his best 90 minutes, the problem is the background, and that's where it falls apart."

Trump wasn't going to get much out of this debate unless Clinton completely fell flat and that didn't happen. What he needs to win is to bring in college educated white voters and nothing that he did tonight was enough to win them over.

[Vee]

CNN seems to be calling it a wash with Hillary having the edge. MSNBC the same, I think. It's just such a tiresome thing, all he did was go out there and play to the Breitbart base.

[Ms. Quartermaine]

But he was calmer than last time, so that means improvement. *sigh*

[Soapsuds]

ABC was saying that more than likely the undecided voters will stay at home and not vote and thus Trump has no chance of winning. Trump has his voters and Clinton hers and Hillary's base is much more than Trump minus those undecided.

That's fine. She doesn't need to finish him yet. There's a lot more tapes waiting.. Keeping him on life support means he stays on the ticket.
