First Presidential Debate

[MadGypsy]

I watched it on FOX too. My titties are fine. I mean, you have to watch it on some channel, right? Actually, I'm even watching the follow-up on FOX. So, far it seems pretty fair and balanced. They even let Hillary Clinton's debate coach talk and he did really good. They're videobyting Trump a little strong but, the things they are commenting with are basically what I said during the debate. Hillary came out a little ahead and Trump was on the defensive too much.

Not completely accurate... Hitlery needs to be falling down while she coughs up green chunks of mucus and ignoring US troops in a firing squad while waiting for a progress bar to hit 100% on a Government grade quad-pass harddrive format.

I ended up watching some of it, I thought both candidates exceeded expectations.

1) Hillary smiled a lot and didn't look unhealthy and she didn't come across as cranky and got Trump to be defensive a few times.
2) Trump seemed very gracious and seemed to know facts and statistics --- I actually checked some of them when he said them -- and to my surprise all the ones I checked were correct.

Reminds me of the legendary "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29".



It was pretty even debate, but the problem is that Hillary's entire campaign depends on seeming to Trump be unpresidential. Her campaign is starting to be in trouble now, and its going to get worse.

Trump is going to go higher in the polls over the course of the week.

[Baker]

Ah nice one!

Humor --- the lost art!

[MadGypsy]

@Baker - I respect your analysis but, I think Hillary is going to get the boost. Not by a whole lot, though. The difference will be barely outside the margin of error.

[DeathMaster]

A bit off topic, but I have this Jimi Hendrix shirt with a Trump sticker glued on the front, and so what I'm thinking is if Trump wins I'm going to parade my workplace with an American flag, talking like Hunter S. Thompson for the rest of the day. If he doesn't pull through, I'll crawl in weeping, shouting "MY LORD HAS BEEN SLAIN!" all the way to my desk.

Win-win, right?

Someone that I talk to now and then asked me today "What's Hillary plan to make the country better if she gets elected?"

I said, "Ah, good point. I don't know."

His point was that her campaign has solely been negative against Trump and doesn't present any solutions nor have a plan and does not present any positive reasons to vote for her.

Anyway, we'll find out later and see how things play out.

I'm not sold on Trump. He did OK but, he let himself get tricked into being on the defense a few times. This is the "The Art of the Deal" guy. This is exactly his chance to make a deal with America and he is choking a little.

@baker

you definitely aren't wrong. I don't know if that's going to outshine other things though.

[Baker]

you definitely aren't wrong. I don't know if that's going to outshine other things though.

If you are wrong, you have to make a YouTube video of you eating a cactus, and I am wrong I have to do a post admitting I am wrong.

Deal?

[DeathMaster]

You realize he can pick which cactus, right? That means peyote, boy, now we're gonna have trippy Gypsy with even more holes in his face. Don't forget to post pics, man

Haha

[MadGypsy]

Eating cactus? I'd be more against the having to make a video part.

side note: According to FOX news (which has finally cascaded into "fairly unbalanced") Trump is tieing Hillary in some polls because of the debate. You may be right about him gaining. I want the polls to simmer a little before I start taking any of them seriously.

FOX news is trying to tell me that the bar is lower for Donald Trump. I don't perceive it like that. For me, there's a bar and that's the bar. Why is my TV trying to convince me that Donald Trump has less to prove to be the President of our country?

@DM - What "more" holes in my face? I have the same holes in my face that everybody is born with. I also would never do peyote or really any other drug for that matter. I'm also not going to eat a cactus.... I'm also already "trippy gypsy" cause I sleep 4 hours a year when the 2 suns align with Saturn. Half the time or less I can literally see molecules.

[DeathMaster]

Probably because the general consensus seems to be that our man Donny has spewed so much hate and vitriol that we're starting to like it. Personally, I can't find the bar.

[Baker]

Eating cactus?

I was joking around, obviously. I was offering you Donald Trump type of deal. Ah nevermind ...

A couple of beers and I become rather jovial

I thought tonight with the debates and breaking down and deciding to catch some of it instead of not watching it ---- I'd grab a six-pack.

/I hardly ever have beer except in the beginning of the summer and during the winter. I always have too much I want to get done.

[Rampage]

I can't believe you guys are actually interested in this Entertainment tonight news.. these are the most unqualified candidates, your country is completely fucked as long as it keeps going like this. One is a corporate shill, the other has no idea what he's doing and just goes with whatever the ratings will get him and doesn't give a shit about the every day person.

The libertarian party and Gary Johnson / Wald are needed more than ever. Vote for a third party, stop supporting these shills who keep fucking you in the ass every year.
