Debate Open Thread

by — ,

I am putting this up early tonight because I am in Redmond, heading to the Roanoke. The SR520 bridge is closed, which makes my commute a bit uncertain. So have at it in the comment threads, and I’ll join you as soon as possible.

6:04: We’ve started!

6:07: “We’re going to respect each other.” We’ll see!

6:08: Overheard at the Roanoke: “Oh my God…he’s medicated!”

6:09: Trump isn’t going to even try to answer the question.


…Certainly here at the Roanoke!

6:12: When asked about sexual assault, Trump talks ISIS. I’m sure he’s hit on her, too.

6:16: “For THE African Americans.” Hasn’t ANYONE talked to him about his awkward use of language?

6:23: Holy fuck…Trump is having a melt down!!!!

6:25: “You should be You’d be in jail.” Very presidential.

6:36: Donald Trump cannot give specifics. His health care plans are more aspirational than operational.

6:39: A lot of sniffing going on there, Donald.

6:46: Trump is very whiney this evening.

6:50: “She is blaming it on the late, great Abraham Lincoln”. Do we really say “late, great” for someone who has been dead for so long?

7:00: Okay…he’s unhinged again!

7:02: Clinton should have responded, “There you go whipping out that ’30 years of experience’ thing again.

7:09: Trump is now debating his running mate. This is precious!!!!

7:15: Dear Donald, Maybe they don’t interrupt Clinton because her answers are coherent, responsive. Quit your persistent whining!!!

7:22: Q about Trump’s “sextape” tweet. Trump: “Benghazi!!!!”

Conclusion: Trump was better medicated and didn’t do worse than last time. Clinton, as always was in control. Trump may GAIN from this debate…but probably not enough to offset the big losses from his “bus tape”.

    6:25: “You should be You’d be in jail.” Very presidential.

    “You’re no Jack Kennedy” wasn’t very (vice) presidential.

    We’re still talking about it, nearly 30 years later.

    For those who think #CrookedHillary broke the law, it was direct and on-point, and that’s enough for now.

    By all appearances, the guy appears to be snorted from here to Sunday, and constantly stepping on his dick.

    Sloppy @ 3,

    So…essentially threatening to imprisoning your political opponents is fair game.

    Get the fuck out of here, you ignorant asshole.

  8. 8

    Question about the Supreme Court and Drumpf immediately appeals to the gun idolators. How the hell does this jibe with supporting “human life”?

  9. 9

    Trump’s answer to the final question was his best moment of the debate, if not the entire campaign.

    @ 7

    “You’d be under indictment.” would have been more accurate.

    Wow, what this site could use fewer of is ignorant assholes. Feel free to ban me if that’s really what you think.

    A bit of personal disclosure…I presently work for the federal government. I also happen to run my own email server. Over the last couple years, I’ve deleted thousands, if not tens of thousands of messages. This is in addition to an approximately equal number of messages my system has deleted on its own.

    It’s called spam. Sound familiar?

    Trump’s response to locker-room talk question: “I’m not as bad as ISIS.” (From CNN)

    Working in New York City for the last three years, in one of the biggest building booms this city probably has seen with no current end in sight, im working on 9 high rises that are currently under construction or very close to starting, for many different developers, except for one. That one is Donald Trump.

    I also read of many planned projects by many different developers, except one. That one is Donald Trump.

    I think if he were building something in this city then I’d say he is creating jobs. He could also be partly responsible for creating my job.

    But he’s not. He isn’t a job creator of any significant value. He makes money by moving money around.

    @ 13

    Pretty sure I heard the FBI director absolve #CrookedHillary using the same rationale, Art. Thanks for clearing it up.

  18. 18

    I was expecting an interesting debate on the issues, but those were dashed in the pre-debate coverage with Trump and Bill Clinton’s women.

    Locker Room talk. Justifying that as locker room talk?

    I guess saying nigger is just white talk or Kkk talk.

    Or saying fag I’d just straight fun talk.

    And two black guys calling g some guy a like is just black talk.

    And two Mexicans calling a white guy a hick or ho key is just Mexican talk.

    Two women calling a man a pig is just woman talk.

    A Muslim calling a Christian an infidel just Muslim talk.

    When you try to justify any type of disrespect that is a problem. Why even ask the last question that was asked. This campaign talk is just Politician talk.

  20. 20

    Giuliani is desperately trying to get a job. Just another Career Politician.

  22. 22

    @19 Hmph. Maybe he’s stiffed enough people and stepped on enough toes that he’s really trying to run for POTUS as a deux ex machina. Or…maybe he’s simply buying time by letting the Secret Service protect him for the time being from a mob hit.

  23. 23

    @3,
    If you were ever going to recognize the huge hole all the lying has dug you into, it would have been these three days. And the biggest lie of all has always been the delusion that your perverted drunken uncle was fit to run the show. He’s your brand now. He’s your ideology and your id. You squandered it all for the sake of a racist dirty joke. That bloated impotent gasbag is who America sees whenever we hear “Republican”.

    Suck it.

  24. 24

    @3 Nice false equivalency. One quip was an observation from a political veteran that a confirmed idiot did not measure up to the grandiose claim he had just made… the other was from a confirmed idiot essentially threatening to Erdogan his political opposition. I am frequently entertained by the mental gymnastics I see from people like you who claim not to support Trump but invariably make statements in stark contrast to that premise daily.

    God damn i love having my own stalker. You guys should get one too. They are so fun to twist around…..

    How stupid is the “prefers I’m-Not-A-Republican party” ex-candidate for King County Executive? So stupid that Republicans are calling for her head after she excused Drumpf’s groping by asserting “he was a Democrat at the time.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: What an airhead.

    So, how exactly did Drumpf get all those Bill Clinton accusers together in one place at one time?

    “A sexual-assault victim who is critical of Hillary Clinton and who appeared alongside Donald Trump before Sunday night’s debate was paid $2,500 by a political action committee founded by Trump ally Roger Stone. …

    “Earlier this year, Stone sought to raise money to pay off the mortgage of Kathleen Willey …. Stone claimed in an online video interview that Trump had personally contributed to the fund.”

    http://www.seattletimes.com/na.....f-clinton/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Why yes, you pay them, of course. Some people will do anything for money.

    @27 Susan Hutchison may not have said or done anything that’s made sense since she last raised her middle finger at Lloyd Cooney.
