drumpf did better, much better than he did in the first debate, but that's like saying he didn't shit on the podium and fling it at the moderators. the bar is so low for drumpf after the first debate, there really wasn't anyplace to go but up. and his bullshit about 'locker room talk' jesus, I feel sorry for anyone who believes or condones that.
The guy just sounds a special kind of stupid. Now, I know public speaking is one of the hardest things to do. It took me years to master it, but I don't think the guy is really even trying.

I still don't think he ever wanted to win, he just likes the publicity.

However, some key things I like about both candidates remain:
  • Illegal immigration is a no no. A delay (ensure the person won't commit jihad later on or at least be in support of it) for all those requests coming in from the middle east should be mandatory.
  • Russia IS killing ISIS, regardless of their motive - Assad should remain in power, until you have a flipping idea of what to do when and if he is to be replaced. Do not arm rebels, because you don't know who moderates are.
  • Healthcare insurance providers need to compete across state lines
  • Tax those manufactures that produce goods outside of the United States
  • Company's like Apple should be taxed (unsure if that's on anyone's platform, not sure why people don't talk about that more)
  • Flat tax on corporations, no loopholes unless you lose money. Yes, I believe you shouldn't be taxed if you lose money. I mean real losses, not just I donated all my earnings away and left with zero profit.

If he used the term "wipe", would you come to the stupid conclusion that he meant she literally wiped the server? You're a partisan hack and fool.
"And not only that, she BLEACHED which somebody said they'd never even heard of. In a very expensive fashion, used chemical so that nobody will ever be able to see them."

Some thoughts:

Did anyone else notice when Mr. Carter (african american) asked him a question (can't remember the exact topic) Trump immediately made a statement about fixing the inner cities? Uh, what are you implying?


Yeah that was pretty funny. Black guy is talking must be from the inner city.

I can't listen to it right now, but I think the "chemical" line might be transcribed incorrectly.

"Acid washed" - it just seemed he was having trouble remembering the name of the software ("bleachbit").

I thought Hillary dropped a really big opportunity to slam Trump when he was going on and on about "if only you were a better senator". She should have responded with something like "Well, Donald just did a wonderful job in displaying his ignorance on how our system of government is designed to work.". And then told him to re-read his 8th grade civics book.

He's going to have a brutal next two days as the fact checks rake him over the coals. And he only played to his already solid base, nothing new to bring in swing voters.

You mean this?

What gets me; when u delete something, isn't the point of it that you don't want anyone to ever see them again?

When I get rid of a computer i take out the hard drive, open it and scratch up the platters so no one can ever see them.

The Bleaching part happened when the mail server admin mistakenly
viewed a pic of Hillary wearing Yoga pants and had to bleach his eyes out.

Looking forward to next Saturday when an angry creepy looming Alec Baldwin shadows Kate McKinnon and the town hall audience asks her if she needs to signal for help.

Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton is the best thing to happen to late night since Tina Fey did Sarah Palin.

It's impossible to conclude that his use of "bleached" is any different than the creator of "bleachbit" software. Maybe it's not metaphorical, but we just don't know.

Trump routines preaches to his flock as if they were idiots who don't know how anything works, so I guess it'll forever be a mystery what he's doing here.

Trump stalked Clinton all over the debate floor last night. Classic bullying behavior. HE stood 3 feet behind her and just bored holes through the back of her head as he stood and stared...I half expected Hillary's secret service to jump out and tackle him because it looked like he wanted to either spit at or beat on Hillary. His non verbal communication was what caught our eye the most last night. It was really pretty amazing.

The man is a predator.

give Clinton credit -- she stood in front of him to make it looks like he was lurking.

Bill did the same thing in town hall debates to make sure his opponents body movements were captured on camera... it requires something that Trump may not be familiar with, practice and preparation.

I drilled holes in my dad's old hard drive that had sensitive info on it (medical records, ssn's, etc). It's a pretty common practice to eliminate data as thoroughly as possible. Even to the point of physical destruction. So much derp from the people wanting to make an issue out of something that really isn't.

See I thought it was drumpf being deliberate and ensuring he got as much camera time as possible. He was pacing like a 5 year old waiting for christmas on dec 23rd.

from Nate Silver himself,

Note that Clinton is often positioning herself such that Trump is in the background of the camera frame when she’s answering a question from the audience — something that Bill Clinton famously also did in his town hall debate against George H.W. Bush in 1992. That allows the cameras to capture any potential awkward body language from Trump. Trump doesn’t seem to be doing the same when he’s answering his own questions, instead staying close to his stool.

That is still the NSA's method for destruction of HD's that ever had TS data on them. The machine basically runs the hard drive between some big ass rollers.

Or you know you call a HD shredding service and they turn your HD into confetti for $50. If she/they REALLY wanted to delete shit to NEVER be seen again, it would be pretty freaking simple.
