Lammycat Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 One side is asking for the debate moderators to fact check the candidate's statements tonight, the other not so much. Who would you trust to tell the truth?Not Trump:http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/24/us/elections/donald-trump-statements.html?_r=0 Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I wonder if Cruz's new support of the Donald has some long or medium range strategy/ back room deal to it. I wonder if the Donald wins if the R's will have him in a shirt leash. The Donald can't abide by a short leash, so he will do something impeachable (that seems like a certainty to me). Once said offense occurs the R's introduce articles of impeachment and remove him from office thus elevating Pence to the White House. They then deal with Cruz and neuter him by making him VP and getting his hating hated embarrassing ass out of the senate so the senate can start to act like adults again. It's far fetched, but not nearly as far fetched as some of the conspiracy theories floating around these days. Of course he has to win first. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that reminder included not-so-subtle threats that if they expected the GOP to work for them in the future, they better live up to their pledges today. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that reminder included not-so-subtle threats that if they expected the GOP to work for them in the future, they better live up to their pledges today. Yeah, it wasn't subtle at all. I saw him say it, and justify his reasoning for it, on TV last weekend. He said something along the lines of "if you're part of a private organization, and you have benefited from the resources that organization provides, how could you then go against promises you made to that organization?"

Chez Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm kind of nervous about tonight's debate. I know what should happen; but this race (and the primaries before it) has been so unpredictable, what should happen might not happen. Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Holy shit that was intense. I think 40% of the country can not be turned from Trump at this point, but I think for the rest of us it was a royal drubbing. While a life on TV has prepared Donald for spicy quips it has not helped him to consolidate a series of supporting details into a cogent rhetorical thesis. Probably more importantly to the public: he lost his cool. Interesting to me is the little moments I agree with him. For example, NAFTA, not the best choice for America's working people. On the topic of race I was bracing for him to shout "I'm MISTER black people." Instead he bizarrely bragged that he owns a night club which doesn't discriminate... good job guy.

Winston Legthigh Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Of the many puzzling Donald things last night, the one that stood out to me was his triumphant (to him, seemingly) response to Hillary's comment about his housing discrimination lawsuits he faced in the 70s. "We settled those cases with no admission of guilt!" be beamed. Um, Donald, that's NOT a good outcome, no matter how you spin it. A good outcome would have been for you to have won those trials, or to have had those cases dismissed for lack of evidence. Settling those cases means you looked at the possible outcomes, and you decided that settling them out of court was the best possible outcome. Link to post Share on other sites
