    Even taking into an account how much of an absolute clown Donald is, it is more a sad inditement on the American Poltical System and on the Republican Party in particular that he's even in this conversation.

    Is it too late to introduce a 3rd candidate? Anyone would do...

    Jaysus, the face he pulls when she's talking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,900 ✭✭✭InTheTrees


    Thank you, President Clinton

    'Make America great again' just needs a logo and tune to it, not a bad tagline all the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,310 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Wow I remember in Public Speaking 101 when I had 60 seconds to introduce myself. She just schooled me.

    Donald is wasting his time attacking her...

    I know. The Republicans could have walked this election had they chosen a better candidate. Hilary Clinton is not that liked and yet she is still likely a shoo-in. They really messed this up for themselves. It's embarrassing.

    They'd do well to come out with some very strong comments on party-revitalization after this mess is done, then rally behind someone like Rubio for 4 years time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,208 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Let's be honest... Clinton has it won.
    I reckon Trump with get a good percentage of the vote (meaning it won't be a landslide) But it's her's.

    "No one respects women more than me."
    "Such a nasty woman."

    Did he offer information on one policy of his or just more rhetoric and soundbites?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,920 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    Well that was great, except the bit where Trump basically admitted he intends stirring up his most insane conspiracy nut followers into a frenzy of contempt for democracy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,666 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    No handshake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    He finishes it by saying she's more of Barrack Obama.

    Doesn't he realise that Obama's approval ratings are soaring right now?

    Something, something, wall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,629 ✭✭✭Hunchback


    His closing statement - snigger..


    I actually think it is really camp the way he points at her with his little fingers

    No hand shake

    Cliffnotes on Trump's final appeal to voters:
    increase military
    get rid of immigrants
    martial law??
    make shootings disappear
    I don't talk to blacks & hispanics.
    I really do hate her

    Well done Donald, just needed a lingering fart to play him out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    SNL are going to have a field day with this one. Alec Baldwin must be doing back flips. "Such a nasty woman" is likely to feature.

    Can't think of anything substantial that he said that isn't an easily debunked lie.

    He did OK in the first half hour actually, but he started to bluster and lose his temper as it progressed. Clinton is probably going to be orgasming to the sound of him saying "nasty woman" tonight.

    I know! I mean, if the laws were changed and Barrack were allowed to stand for a third term, even without any prep or campaign i think he'd have a real shot at keeping it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 852 ✭✭✭blackdog2


    I would rather vote for that moderator over the two actual candidates.

    As an aside, does anyone else feel that America hasn't been great for some time? Since around the time they faked the Vietnam war?

    Yeah my immediate response was "I wish she would be another four years of Obama, sadly I don't think she's that good".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    The only FACT-CHECK I'd read is on the weighing scale, it's more of a FAT-Check.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,666 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Donald Trump. Can You hear me Donald Trump. Your electoral prospects took a hell of a veating. Your electoral prospects took a hell of a beating...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    FOX hilariously saying this is by far Trump's best debate and "well at least Clinton can say she stuck to prepared answers".

    Their voices say otherwise... this was a genuine one sided bloodbath, which I can honestly say I've never seen before in any debate ever.

    All they have todo is take Saturday night off and play the video tape of the debate with canned laughter it would be just as good as anything they could write.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,520 ✭✭✭learn_more


    Even Fox News are disowning him now. That's totally bizarr.

    My personal favourite of what threatened to be policy only to turn into empty gas as it left his mouth was when he said he'll build the wall and then... we'll see where we are...

    They've been lukewarm about him except for Hannity and O'Reilly. And O'Reilly told him to stop whining earlier this week.

    Obama is a 'n*gger', Trump would find it impossible to believe people want 4 more years of anything even like that.

    EDIT to clarify: I'm saying that's Trump's view of why people wouldn't want more Obama, not mine, a slur the most famous and ardent birther of all has been nown to be very fond of.

    Not a bad enough performance from either to justify an odds movement to be honest.

    She was doing better from the start but yeah, he was trying to hold it together - I think it was Russia where he really started to crac, if memory serves.

    No wonder Roger Ailes is the latest in a long, long line to abandon his campaign.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    The fact he didn't sniffle as much probably helped the big lad, no significant movement from either odds wise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,666 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Interesting to see that even on Boards that after each individual debate there's been less and less pro-Trump posters here to fight the disreputable fight.

    Think the Moderator won, no one else.
    I'd like to have seen some cats or jugglers.

    It's so funny watching Fox News. They have to talk in favour of Republicans but my God, you can see they are finding it very very difficult. I don't think we'll ever see anything like this ever again.

    Oh don't get me wrong, it's not my opinion at all - it's Trumps, disgusting filth that he is. He is well known to have used that term many times, and is Birther In Chief.

    Well, I mean we're over a year into this thing, after the final debate... it would be genuinely odd to not have picked a side by now.

    Act like a scumbag, get treated like a scumbag. Follow that up by spending the guts of 90 minutes making an utter fool of yourself in front of the world, and it's to be expected.
