Very true. He was very biased but was smart about it and expressed it subtly, through giving Hillary endless softball questions, staying away from her many many problems, and giving Trump a barrage of negative questions.

Still, I would have liked to have seen Trump attack her more. Let her get away with too much. He did ok but I'd like to see a stronger performance the next time around.


Or maybe next time he could explain how he will bring back all the jobs back from Mexico and China as it is one of his main campaign promise but does not seem to have a plan for it... or was not able to articulate it yesterday despite been asked... or maybe it is another secret plan...



His plan if you paid attention is to rewrite our trade agreements. To start taxing companies who build products or employ staff overseas that wish to sell back to the US. We are still the biggest global consumer we can call the shots. His biggest mistake was not pressing on why the emails were deleted. Lester let it slide but sure pushed Trump on the birther movement.


I paid attention and that was his answer to not have more leave the country, not to bring them back as that would apply to companies that decide to delocalize production and consequently close plants/offices in the US.
He made the distinction himself. He did not offer a plan to bring back the manufacturing jobs that are not located in the US anymore. I invite you to re-watch that part of the debate.

And I won't go into discussing the efficacy of such a policy as it would most probably negatively impact the competitiveness of American companies but this is another topic...


Did you pay attention to Hillary's answer when asked what she would do to create jobs?

Absolutely nothing. Her only response was to claim the government will create more jobs by subsidizing renewable energy such as solar. Which, as Trump pointed out, is a horrible idea because Obama already tried it and the result was the government was on the hook for more than $500 million with nothing to show for it.

At least trying to stem job loss and rewrite trade agreements to bring jobs back (which I agree he didn't get into for some reason but always says at his rallies), along with lowering the corporate tax rate for job creation is some kind of plan, as opposed to a proven failure.


This is not what she said. She said investing in badly needed infrastructure improvement as well as new energy would create jobs, instead of focusing on trying to save coal industry related jobs and she is right.

Trump seems to agree on the needs of infrastructure improvements as he called the US a third world country...

Again, 2012, 2016 or any other year, it is nonsensical to have the Debates face off against MNF when it could just as easily be scheduled on a Tuesday. This isn't difficult.


To have a weekly sport program determine the week day of the debates seem a bit silly in my opinion. If it was a once of year event like the SuperBowl I would understand...

Tuesday, The Voice is on. It draws the same number of viewers as MNF. So i guess Tuesday would not be a good day either?

For real, why are they going up against Monday Night Football?

The dates for these debates were set before the NFL setup this year's schedule and before Clinton and Trump became the nominees.


Huh? When is there *not* a Monday Night Football telecast in a late September Monday??



Or maybe its irrelevant since a week 3 game(or any game, for that matter) is probably not as important as a presidential debate. Up to you, though.

Monday Night Football always gets huge ratings. So you're incorrect in saying that it's irrelevant.

There's no good reason to schedule this on Monday as opposed to a Tuesday. Someone f*cked up.

Given that Clinton was disbarred due to his sexual shenanigans and had to pay almost a million dollars to settle a sexual harassment case, and is forever stained as the POTUS who defiled the Oval Office, saying Trump is worse is silly and incorrect.

1. GWB was the worst candidate possible
2. John McCain was the worst candidate possible.
3. "Universal healthcare" Mitt Romney as the worst candidate possible.

Now the Dems have their worst candidate possible and it's their own fault.

They have cried wolf too many times!


Trump is the worst GOP candidate...ever, and for anyone that doesn't see that, no point arguing. There have been far worse Democratic candidates than Clinton.


Name me one Democratic candidate over the last 30 yrs that was more corrupt the Hillary?


I understand the email issue but you keep on calling Hillary Clinton the most corrupt politician. Could you give examples of the corruption you are talking about?

New York Times editorial board endorses Clinton for president

By Sophie Tatum and Eugene Scott, CNN
Updated 3:14 PM ET, Sat September 24, 2016

Washington (CNN)The New York Times' editorial board on Saturday endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for president calling comparing her to rival Donald Trump "an empty exercise."

"In any normal election year, we'd compare the two presidential candidates side by side on the issues. But this is not a normal election year," the paper wrote. "A comparison like that would be an empty exercise in a race where one candidate -- our choice, Hillary Clinton -- has a record of service and a raft of pragmatic ideas, and the other, Donald Trump, discloses nothing concrete about himself or his plans while promising the moon and offering the stars on layaway."

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/24/politic ... on-endorsement/index.html





Does that make the Trump's 31 untruths they tracked last week true then? Not sure what your point is...

But they won?t be laughing at us if Hillary gets elected right? Her husband the ex-President and possibly future first man was getting BJ?s from interns in the Oval Office. The same Oval Office that President Hillary may be sitting in come January. LOL

(juicy stuff no pun intended)

An affair of state

At the heart of Kenneth Starr's explicit but coldly clinical report is a furtive sex drama

The sexual encounters between the President and Monica Lewinsky are rendered in explicit though chilly language. While graphic descriptions may be necessary for Kenneth Starr to prove that Clinton had sex with the former intern under any definition (and thus committed perjury), the referral's bald, footnoted narrative reveals even more complex human intimacies. Initiated the week a budget impasse shut down the government, the furtive, sterile affair has brought Washington to a standstill once again. Excerpts from the report:

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/time/1998/09/14/affair.state.html



Most of the world was shaking their head that a BJ in an office could be such a big deal in the US then, they still don't care now.

The BJ did not bring the country politically to an halt. The silly massive story Republicans made out of it did.

First Read: Clinton Outspending Trump 5-1 on the Air
by CHUCK TODD, MARK MURRAY and CARRIE DANN

Clinton is outspending Trump over the airwaves by a 5-to-1 margin

Hillary Clinton and her allies continue to dominate Donald Trump and pro-Trump outside groups in the 2016 advertising race. According to ad-spending data from NBC partner Advertising Analytics, Clinton's campaign has spent $96.4 million in ads in the general election, versus $17.3 million for Trump's campaign. That's more than a 5-to-1 advantage for Clinton. And then when you factor in outside groups, it's $156.6 million for Team Clinton, and $33.6 million for Team Trump. That's almost a 5-to-1 advantage.

Here are the numbers through this week:

Clinton camp: $96.4 million
Pro-Clinton outside groups: $60.2 million
Total Team Clinton: $156.6 million

Trump camp: $17.3 million
Pro-Trump outside groups: $16.3 million
Total Team Trump: $33.6 million


http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first ... ing-trump-5-1-air-n651106






I forgot. FiveThirtyEight (poll of polls) put her ahead so not sure about the "is behind or tied in most polls" statement.

That is the numbers I have seen as well.

As mentioned before, Trump is getting a lot of earned media (free) so he does not need to spend a lot on TV. Earned media is one thing he is really good at.

He is raising a lot of money as well so he must be spending it somewhere else that makes more sense for the type of campaign is running.

According to the article below, Clinton out-spent Trump $48M to $30M so he is spending but not as much on TV:

Do you want me to post videos of Trump keeping up with the birther crap even after Obama produced his birth certificate? Do you want me to show you how sad and pathetic that is? This is undeniable but no, some Hillary supporter started it first and that makes it all her fault. Even you have to think that is low grade BS.

I don't think either candidate is worthy of the Presidency but even you must admit that Trump is on a whole other level of slime.


Absolutely not. Trump is no angel but Hillary absolutely should be in jail now and certainly has no business running for the Presidency.

Among many other things, the facts are that she claimed she was "dead broke" when she left the White House (but stole more than $200,000 in White House china) yet has "earned" more than $200 million dollars since then (along with her husband). And that's just in reported income.

Grade A corruption, much of it occurring in the public sector, and undoubtedly the most corrupt candidate ever.


Please list your proofs of Clinton 'Grade A corruption.

And if you would like me to list how Trump is misusing his foundation money and enriching himself during this campaign with supporter donations. Please let me know.

Now ask yourself, you really want to vote for that dude? And what about my other question? He blames Clinton for pay-for-play when he freely admits to doing it for years? Are you seriously thinking of putting that guy in the White House?


Wait, so several Hillary supporters blatantly just lied about the origins of the birther meme and now you are trying to move on by saying "so what?"

Hillary was very happy to gain the "racist" vote - her many supporters who started and circulated the birther meme against Obama in the primaries - and you try to attack Trump for allegedly doing the same? Really?


If you have any proof that birtherism originated with Clinton, her campaign or a supporter. Please provide them here.

If you would like any proof that Trump has made it his and repeated it over and over agian in the last few years, please let me know and I will happily list them for you.

First off I am not a huge Trump fan! I simply point out Hillary is probably worse. Second the list below is hardly a list of accomplishments. It's mostly opinion.

OK, any further comments about which European places are, or are not, completely car-free are dilatory strawmanning.

VERY few places in the world, mostly very small ones, are completely car-free. That's beside the point.

The point is that many cities and towns, large and small, treat cars as a tertiary mode, with bikes, walking, light rail, and other mass transit dominating. Amsterdam is the best big city, but others are also great. Driving laws and enforcement are tough. Separated bike paths abound on bigger arterial roads, while smaller residential streets are relentlessly traffic-calmed, with speed tables and bumpouts at every crosswalk, textured surfaces, deliberately narrow lanes, etc. So you can own a car, and you can drive, but you will drive slower and, within a neighborhood, probably make a couple more turns.

A typical two-way arterial boulevard in Amsterdam has one narrow lane in each direction for cars, a tram track in each direction with boarding islands, two wide cycle tracks a few feet away from the car lanes, and two sidewalks outside that. Many of those streets, 40 years ago, were four- or six-lane monstrosities catering solely to the car. They changed. We must too.


That was exactly my point.
Big carfree cities are not realistic. However, carfree neighborhood/area should be created and mass transportation infrastructure should be developed to decrease the reliance on cars.

Hillary got called out for calling Trump's supporters as "basket of deplorables." But the media missed the rest, she said, "...some of the folks are irredeemable but thankfully they are not America." Let me get this straight, if someone does not vote for her they are considered irredeemable and not Americans? The press gave her a pass on this.


In the quote you highlighted "some of the folks", so NO she did not say "if someone does not vote for her they are considered irredeemable and not Americans", YOU did.

All the media is so against Trump that some of them are actually openly campaigning for him. It is so unfair...

I really would love to see these some of these defenders of unvetted mass immigration explain their foolish and dangerous justifications to the terror attack survivors in rehab learning how to walk again or recovering from brain concussions.

The suffering of you and your family is a sacrifice Americans must make to ensure the proper assimilation of people from a culture whose values are diametrically opposite of our own American value system. You will learn to love Sharia Law.


I don't think anybody on this board is defending mass immigration without vetting? Actually, there is a already a lot vetting in the current immigration process. Could it be better? I guess but I don't know enough to judge.

I am an immigrant and I went though the process. After more than 16 years legally in the country, I am actually still going through it...


You followed the rules. Following the rules is the harder path. That is why many do not. The argument here is there are many who believe all that made it here are entitled to stay.


What make you think that refugees are not following the rules?


Whomever follows the legal process IS entitled to stay.


So that settles the Syrian refugees conversation then. As long as they follow the process, they should be welcomed.
. For me yes. However where do they go in the meantime until the process is complete.


This article describes the process quite well by telling the story of a Syrian family:

No you do not ban all immigration but you ban immigration from countries that want to harm you. President Carter banned immigration from Iran in the hostage crisis. Common sense, you do not allow people in who plans on killing you.


Please tell us what are the countries you would ban immigration from.

Haha, absolutely not. Not until there is a 100% way of vetting them, which we currently don't have. Until then President Trump can set the level he is comfortable with, which may be none for the time being.


Hey TheBigGuy, would you mind explaining to JcMan8 how vetting is possible? It does not seem to believe it is.

So how is Trump going to implement the "extreme vetting" he proposed?



It will start by re-establishing and enforcing the immigration laws already and in place. The US embassies and consulates are responsible for issuing visas/validating foreign passports. Some the Obama Administration has forgotten or ignored laws already on the books. It is up to the people that want to come here to meet our entry requirements.

Just like getting a license in New Jersey, the applicants need to produce what the state requires. The US does not owe any non-citizen a single thing. They should be able to prove they will not be a burden to the states they are visiting and if they have a relative that is a US citizen, born or naturalized, the process might be expedited. Once paperwork is submitted... security checks like Interpol might be used.

Of course the applicant would pay those processing fees. Maybe we even impose a service fee that would go to the expense of beefing up the US southern border? Now you might call this extreme.... to me it is business as usual.


So vetting is possible then? Do I understand properly?[/quote]


Of course vetting is possible.... but when Obama is issuing Executive Orders to cut corners and expedite the release of these thousands of unknown people into the country.. it leaves a security gap for the undesirable element to breech.

Glad to hear that vetting is possible. Thank you.

A little fun fact that I just saw on MSNBC.

The Clinton campaign is out spending the Trump campaign 5 to 1 on TV ads.

Around 160 million to 32 million dollars.

MSNBC is even surprised that Trump is either beating or tied with Clinton nationally and in battleground states after all the money she spent.


You know she is having all these fundraisers because win or lose, she gets to keep the cash after the election. It will be a nice kiss when she retires to Chappaqua on November 5th.


Would you mind backing up that claim?
