Lets get ready for some Debating Cage Fights Round 1,2, and 3

[woolfe9998]

So I saw that CNN poll shows Clinton winning the debate by +13, while the same poll showed her winning the 2nd debate by like +23. I don't get that. I thought Clinton only barely won debate #2, but she totally owned Trump this time around. Guess I'm out of sync with the bulk of debate watchers.

They polls skewed more democrat last two times. This one was almost an even split. They qualified both prior snap polls with that fact when they were done.

If anyone thinks Trump has won a debate yet I'm a bit amazed.

But that is just my opinion.

 

[woolfe9998]

I did want to comment on one substantive point in the debate which hasn't gotten much mention: Trump's challenge to Clinton to give money donated to the Clinton Foundation back to countries like Saudi Arabia who donated. Why would you give the money back to the Saudis instead of using it to help people? Is it somehow better that the Saudis have this money instead of say, starving children or AIDs patients? These weren't donations made to a political campaign. They were donations to charity. Frankly, if I ran a charity back in 1943 I would have taken money from Hitler and used it to help people because the money is better spent helping people than being in the hands of Hitler.

Yes, all polls over-sampled democrats. This one less so. But I doubt it accounts for such a large split between those two polls, especially since it seems obvious, at least to me, that Clinton won by a much greater margin this time around.

What I found more glaring about that is how many of the countries he himself does business in.

Ever the hypocrite.

I was thinking the same thing. She missed a great opportunity.

It plays to the base that honestly think the Clintons make money on the foundation, or at least strongly benefit from it.

And that is Trump's problem. He's great at pandering to his 35% base. So when does he ever get around to making a pitch to the rest of us? This, among other reasons, is why he's going to lose.

She was better in this debate, but Trump was WAY worse in the second debate.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Jesus I forgot Trump made his comments about Japan, South Korea et al getting nukes to Chris Wallace himself. Nice of Chris to not call that out.

 

[FelixDeCat]

Ok, so Ms. Bill Clinton had a point about Trump shipping jobs to other countries but they were for penny ante items like ties, etc.

Some people do not read into things too far I guess.

Hillary was not even involved with the Clinton Foundation other than a maybe 2 years and bowed out of it when it looked it would be questioned.

It has done a lot of good over time, like Bill Gate's Foundation everyone used to trash.

Trump's Foundation has mostly been money laundering over time.

Even worst, straight out diversion of funds to his children.

Yeah, I agree. I am actually surrounded by his base here in Oklahoma, and the majority of people I talk about it with, even the people that believe Hillary killed Vince Foster aren't going to vote for Trump. So I am not sure it is even really helping him with his base.

The fact you continue posting Ms. Bill Clinton explains a lot to begin with.

 

[zinfamous]

Ever the hypocrite.

And his foundation isn't even licensed to do business.

so, actually: completely, technically, irrefutably illegal. Trump's foundation. LoL: what a clown.

Chris Wallace purposely asked questions that the country is highly divided on, immigration, abortion, guns. It gives Trump better odds at favorable results.

 

[woolfe9998]

I have to say, Clinton's answer to Trump's refusal to commit to accepting the election results was brilliant. Giving examples of how he always says the deck is stacked against him because he can't take responsibility for losing, perfectly encapsulates Trump. It was his worst answer of the night and probably her best. She totally nailed him on that.

 

[MongGrel]

I'm just cruising around, Giuliani really stepped on his dick here.

But what else is new these days.

 

[DrDoug]

Proof has been found of Hillary secretly issuing the order to rig everything!

 

[MongGrel]

Chris Wallace purposely asked questions that the country is evenly divided on, immigration, abortion, guns. It gives Trump better odds at favorable results.

And Trump still was kicked to the curb looking incompetent.

Is there anything wrong with that? I was pretty against Chris Wallace getting this gig, but I think he actually ended up being one of the best moderators I can remember. I was worried we were going to spend 20 minutes on e-mails and 20 minutes on pay for play.

 

[ivwshane]

You guys have me excited to watch this debate!

Nothing wrong with the questions, just explaining why the poll results were more favorable towards Trump this time.

Spoiler: Yuuuge Spoiler Alert

Clinton won.
