:eek: Well, that's a new one to me. Heck, I guess it's better to go with Trump then. He's such a stable character. I'm sure he won't lead us into any wars at all.
And if he does, at least you can be sure that he'll take the damn oil *sniff*

Lolololololol


One of the funniest things of the whole night though was after spending weeks calling Hillary sick, Trump rocks up with the sniffles (be it cold or coke induced). Nice work fittest ever candidate for president. Might want a second diagnosis from someone other than Doctor Nicks dad.

You know for the first 10 or 15 minutes of that debate, Trump came across pretty well. Some of the stuff he said about bringing Jobs back kind of resembled that of a Presidential candidate. He had policies, he had ideas, and calmly put them forward without turning the whole thing into a wrestling promo.

Then the rest of the debate happened.....

What do you do when you lose a debate. You deflect. Good old Deflectin Donald

Debates only really decide elections when someone does genuinely terribly (eg. Rick Perry 'oops' in the 2012 primaries).

Trump got a lot thrown at him and weathered it. Clinton got little thrown at her and was comfortable. This debate will not be remembered.

Meanwhile, the polling in Pennsylvania has narrowed very rapidly.

I've tried to bluff my way through meetings and exams unprepared. Whenever i try and do that i know i end up sounding unprepared and struggle to put a clear concise statement forward.

Trumps entire debate was like that. Just read his answer in relation to the nuclear issue, to call it a word salad does a disservice to a word salad.

Remember this is a man running for President of the worlds only superpower...

Well, I have to say that, you know, for what Secretary Clinton was saying about nuclear with Russia, she’s very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries. But Russia has been expanding their — they have a much newer capability than we do. We have not been updating from the new standpoint.

I looked the other night. I was seeing B-52s, they’re old enough that your father, your grandfather could be flying them. We are not — we are not keeping up with other countries. I would like everybody to end it, just get rid of it. But I would certainly not do first strike.

I think that once the nuclear alternative happens, it’s over. At the same time, we have to be prepared. I can’t take anything off the table. Because you look at some of these countries, you look at North Korea, we’re doing nothing there. China should solve that problem for us. China should go into North Korea. China is totally powerful as it relates to North Korea.

And by the way, another one powerful is the worst deal I think I’ve ever seen negotiated that you started is the Iran deal. Iran is one of their biggest trading partners. Iran has power over North Korea.

And when they made that horrible deal with Iran, they should have included the fact that they do something with respect to North Korea. And they should have done something with respect to Yemen and all these other places.

And when asked to Secretary Kerry, why didn’t you do that? Why didn’t you add other things into the deal? One of the great giveaways of all time, of all time, including $400 million in cash. Nobody’s ever seen that before. That turned out to be wrong. It was actually $1.7 billion in cash, obviously, I guess for the hostages. It certainly looks that way.

So you say to yourself, why didn’t they make the right deal? This is one of the worst deals ever made by any country in history. The deal with Iran will lead to nuclear problems. All they have to do is sit back 10 years, and they don’t have to do much.

I should have reserved my comment until I actually watched it. I actually think Trump did OK, less polished but he held his own. Don't think it will have a major impact either way in the polls.

Hang on, are people seriously suggesting that most people think that Trump won the debate?
Hang on, hang on, hang on, Evan, Evan, Evan, Evan, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, fact-check that for me please on the fly!

Ah, yes they do, haha, yes, there are at least seven polls that are being in some way used to show that Trump won the debate and that, in some cases, he won by a lot.

Okie doke!
