The Debate Thread

As long as Trump doesn't go off the rails and stays on script. So far he does not seem to be blowing it. I wouldn't be surprised if he is a better speaker than Hillary, technically.

That's a pretty low bar.

Bitchslap.

 

[Phelia]

Why does Lester even bother saying a time limit?

I wish Zach Galifianakis were moderating.

Better speaker? Outside of Sarah Palin, I don't think we've ever had someone at this level debate exclusively in run-on sentences before.

Don't get me wrong, she's not stellar, but being average is certainly good enough tonight.

I can see #Snifff! being a hashtag

HRC should offer Trump a tissue to blow his nose.

Fact-checking Donald Trump's claim Hillary Clinton started Obama birther movement

There is no evidence that Clinton or her 2008 campaign ever floated the theory. While Clinton supporters circulated the allegations the last time she ran for president, they had no ties to either the candidate or her staff.

Headshot.

Invoking Michelle and POTUS FTW.

Obama is King of the USA right now, she will always be 2nd fiddle and that's ok with her.

 

[Wrong Element]

He looks so smug when she calls him for birtherism. That won't play well.

I think I'm giving up on this debate and just going to watch Two Ferns again or John Oliver or my dog sleep.

 

[Phelia]

I herewith formally concede to Phelia for the remainder of the debate.

Her thread has five pages. Mine has two.

Well done, my lady. *bows deeply*

It was an honor and a pleasure. I thought they complemented each other. We'll co-host next time. And charge admission!

Less than 30 min left. I think it's about to get cringy again.

 

[lovetoread]

for fucks sake, make him go blow his nose

 

[Hard_Rom]

Every time I go back and give it a watch, all I hear are soundbites of stuff already reported in various media. Boring! Rather watch a Canadian election debate, sheesh!

 

[Disgustipated]

Rubio should throw a water bottle at him.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

I am going to sniff every time I hear a racist, sexist, homophobic, LIE from the right

THAT is this dopes tell - LOL

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Donald is succumbing to the personal shots by going to the personal defense.

Bad idea. Nobody gives a shit Donald. You're playing to her strength.

I thought in a Canadian debate the two candidates just play one on one hockey.

I've give my left nut -- or right one, I ain't picky -- to see this happen.

Hillary would never think of it, though, and wouldn't dare if she did think of it. Now, Obama just might.

 

[Phelia]

It really is distracting. Would it be less off-putting at this point if he just let the snot drip down his face? I'm thinking not.

I wonder if it'll become a #thing. It would be nice to see him throw a tantrum and accuse people of sniffboating him.

 

[Super-Surprise]

Lester is unfit to moderate, period.

 

[Wok]

So much cringe.

"Settled with no admission of guilt." Well, that will certainly make school kids want to stand and salute.
