Finally a real true debate

It's my understanding that the debate sites, moderators, and formats were agreed upon by both parties long before candidates were elected.

Then they must not have done their research or they didn't realize how bias Anderson cooper really is.

Yeah, absolutely wrong about that last debate. Trump won it big time, laid to rest this silly tape mess with far stronger punches to Hill and Bill on every measure one could possibly want in the short time allotted.

Great, he won the second debate with school yard antics, is still way behind and is almost certainly going to be destroyed in the EC at this point, the GOP has still fractured over his support, with many top Republicans abandoning him to his fate. But he "won" the second debate.

We're still were we are at, and this last debate is still going to be the most embarrassing because Trump is now unhinged with nothing to lose.

Shock shock, another empty post from you. How many times must you be told before you get the idea that I am fully aware of just how little substance you can bring to bear, you needn't keep evidencing it over and over and over.

By the way, how does it feel to be that deep in cow flanks? Rhetorical, rhetorical...

The last presidential debate is going to be the one to watch. Why? Chris Wallace is going to be moderating it.
Fox News' Chris Wallace brings experience, sterling reputation to moderator's role | Fox News

Chris has been known for his balanced interviews and not throwing softball questions at anyone no matter who they are.
He will hold their feet to the fire and if needed force them to respond.

Trump and more so Clinton is going to have to be on their game because there will not be any gang ups on this one.
Trump cannot claim moderator bias as he could in the last 2 debates.

Chris will be fair and hard on both candidates.

Its not the moderators job to be fair or hard. Only to state the topic, and then keep time. Wallace said that if no one remembers he was there, then he did his job. To which I answer, then why have him there at all? Anyone can be invisible. Go to GWU and grab a professional moderator.

Ah, yes. Your desperate need to write off something and empty that you simply cannot face.

Sorry that it makes you uncomfy when it's pointed out that you're all bluster.

Trump lost that debate, no matter how hard you stomp you tiny feet in fury.
 
ludin said:
right now it is even Clinton 1 and trump 1.
even with the moderators setup against him he still won the 2nd debate.

The third one will be on him to do well. Chris is about as fair of a moderator you can get.

Without looking it up, tell me how Trump won. What topic and what argument did he make that was clearly more convincing or logically constitent than Clintons? I bet no one even remembers the debate other than Trump saying "wrong' and 'youll be in jail'

Ahhh, finally at least some truth regarding the debate. Based on your assessments, I think the wise adage is don't count your chickens until they hatch. Or maybe, it ain't over til the fat lady sings, and I have yet to hear old thunderthighs herself hit any of her almost assuredly malodorous notes.

When team Hillary and Bill start hitting you with low blows, go lower, make them hurt. Its like Hillary starting with that totally false premise that "When they go low, we go high"... she must've already been high cause she had just hit him below the belt then re-pounced on these silly audio tapes of 11 years ago. I mean, could you believe it? She uses that Michelle O bomb quote then launches right back into trashing Trump, in same two minutes she was given. Mind boggling.

He had already apologized about the locker room banter then what does she do? She again goes off, says he never apologizes, when he had just done so.

So...

Tell me, is she stupid or just hard of hearing? It could be both, as she miscued on that last question with the moderator asking Trump to answer first and she hopped right in, I guess not hearing his name to answer the question first.

This is the main problem with our political system, and this Presidential election cycle in general. Jr. High schoolyard antics are embarrassing for one who is supposed to be President. And is also why this third debate is going the be the most embarrassing. Trump is at the end of his political rope, all the polls are showing a neigh insurmountable hill to climb to win the EC votes, the GOP is turning his back on him, he can't stop saying dumb things. Clinton's not necessarily better, but she is better at controlling her mouth. She doesn't really have to do anything but sit back and watch Trump implode.

Face it, the GOP gave this election to Clinton the moment they put up Trump.

Yes, that must be it Tannwhatever.

Which part of the debate did he lose, the part where she tried to besmirch him with her little BB gun on his locker room talk and he shot back with the howitzers on Bill's conduct serial abusing women, her part in trying to destroy his victims, her defense of a rapist, accusing the 12 year old victim of leading the 41 year old man on, Hillary getting him off with a light term and laughing later at aspects of the trial, undeniable. Women Bill had abused were right there in the room as well. She certainly didn't dig her way out of the hole she dug with her emails.

Just where were her winning points, in your "mind"? I mean, again, you have no substance in your posts. Just your poorly worded and malformed opinions, so its hard hell its impossible, to attack you on the substance you never bring.

Valid question: Are you even familiar with the idea of debating with substance? Do you know what supporting facts and assertions are? Sources, familiar with those by chance?

Ask Truman how he won against Dewey? Polls are faulty at best, intended to influence more than reflect at worst. Fact of the matter is that the media is going ape over nothing, showing a real fear that a loss is coming to their "gal".

The American people have caught on to the game being played, this kind of trashing, throwing much against the wall, hope it sticks until the election is over. So it with Dan Rather who committed professional suicide in his zeal to "get" GWB. We are entering a period when the media is no longer even attempting to hide their bias.

They are THAT scared... so to hell with your silly polls, we will see at election time.

It really can't be a debate when Trump has little of substance to say. The Big Orange. Trump has next to no idea of what he is going to do about anything.

It's all shuck and jive with him, but sometimes it sounds good. In fact to his minions Trump "debating" is like masturbation. It feels good for a short while and later there's nothing. That's "truth" from the Trump. "You're going love it. It will be so fantastic."

No matter how many days or weeks Hillary rests before a debate she still looks like 40 miles of bad road as she gingerly waddles out on stage accompanied by her medical handler. Hillary has "a comprehensive plan" for everything. She takes "a back seat to nobody" on all issues. Hillary is fighting for women and women's rights. Right? Juanita, Jennifer, Kathy? Clinton's answers are almost always the same.

I'm still waiting for the right venue for these two bozos, the Jerry Springer Show.

Yep I have to fully agree.
 
ludin said:
well since he won the 2nd debate he hasn't done that. I see no reason that he can't win the 3rd debate either more so that the only thing Clinton can do is exactly what you said.
spout the same crap she has been spewing for years now.

Im interested to see if wallace gives her an opprotunity at rebuttal for the things trump raised about he in the last debate

And that's what it will take. It's going to take some horribly unlikely event like Clinton supporters not going to the polls in mass for Trump to win. He's not going to.

We will see at election time and dollars to donuts, it's going to be Clinton II. Personally, I think we need a new amendment to the Constitution that says No Legacies for President. If your family members have been President, you can't be. We have enough people to choose from.

But this entire election cycle is throwing trash at the wall and seeing what sticks, Clinton and Trump are about as lowest common denominator as it gets, I can't even envision what worse would look like (though I'm sure the Republicrats will find it). The trash that sticks to the wall this time is almost certainly going to be Clinton.

Ah, yes, the sweet fetid stench of RW fantasies about things that didn't actually happen. He lost it by his demeanor, by his idiotic decision to bring up utterly irrelevant things and his inability to keep his cool under pressure. I'm sure you're intimately familiar with how that feels.

He lost by lying through his teeth about things like people seeing the bombs in the home of the San Bernardino terrorists, saying he opposed the Iraq War from the start, denying that he asked people to look for a sex tape from that beauty queen, that the Clinton campaign started the birther movement, that our taxes are 'just about the highest in the world', that ambassador Stephens sent '600 requests for help' etc....

What winning points did I claim she had? I stated, quite plainly, that he lost. She just had to sit back and let him screw up.

Indeed. All I have to do is read one of your posts, based utterly in delusional fantasies about laughing and what have you, and it's quite clear what lack of substance is.

You're all talk, zero walk, and clearly it bothers you when this is pointed out.

Bummer.

And I must add, you can go all the way back to the Adams v Jefferson election to see how low people were willing to go, its a constant in American politics, just like trash talking in sports, its a part of the game. If attacked its incumbent upon those attacked to fight back with whatever means are at hand, stand your ground mixed with cage fighting without refs... or refs on the side of Hillary so far so just to be ignored by Trump.

He far from imploded, he exploded all her trash, that we have all been storing up, right in her face. No place to run, no place to hide. Showing Trump will not be intimidated by the Bill, Hill and the team that got beat by that bumbling, wet behind the ears neophyte, O bomb-a.

Im not suggesting they should not debate but instead offer a list of qualified moderators for the sponors to chose from. Its somewhat silly for a candidate to have to debate his/her opponent and a moderator who is openly hostile to you.

Negativity has never been a stranger to politics. But the level of ignorance and lack of substance has been taken to a new level this time. It's truly embarrassing.
