POTUS 2016 General Election Discussion Thread

[Toddzilla]

He's so hopelessly done with the black vote, this latest news won't affect that at all.

However, all of the white suburbanites that have hedged their bets because they don't want to vote for a racist - they're *all* jumping off that fence if this is indeed true

Trump is now holding a press conference with Bill Clinton accusers. He's lost it.

Yup. I am thoroughly convinced that his "African American outreach" was about making a certain segment of white voters (mostly suburban, non-racist, and college-educated) not feel guilty about voting for a racist. He'd lose that group. Not sure how big it is, but as been said before, he can hardly afford to lose any group at this point. I mean, if PussyGate and (theoretical) NiggerGate combined only cost him 3% of his voters, he's toast.

At least Vince McMahon is getting new plot lines for the WWE out of all this non-sense.

[larrymcg421]

I fully promise not to vote for Bill Clinton.

Just a rumor at this point, but how bad does Trump lose if this tape gets out?

i dunno...anyone who actually "likes" Trump will probably be happy about this, and the rest of the Republican base, clearly is just going to vote against Hillary.

[GrantDawg]

That was the final straw. I was not going to vote for Clinton, but I was also never going to vote for Trump. I was going to go third party until this latest fiasco. This latest press conference was the final straw. Among those accusers (of whom's claims have been debated, adjudicated, and dismissed long ago, including by Trump himself) was this poor woman Kathy Shelton. She was raped in Arkansas many years ago, and Hillary was forced by the court to represent her accuser. Read this: Kathy Shelton Rape Case: 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know | Heavy.com

It is ridiculous that Trump is using this poor woman to attack Hillary. The fact is that her rapist was a slime-ball that ended up getting off light for rape not because of anything that Clinton did, but because of the incompetence of the prosecutor on the case. That they claim Hilary "laughed" about getting him off is not bared out by listening to the interview in question. That Hillary was disgusted by the man, didn't want to defend him, and only acted as she had to by sworn oath as a court officer is.

I just can't at this point ignore the fact that, though I really dislike Hillary, voting for anyone other than for her might actually get this disgusting bag of shit close to the White House. The fact that this man actually won a nomination for a party I was once a member of and firmly supported makes me sick. I just can't believe that this country has come to this.

Let's make America great again, by making sure this asshole doesn't win a single state in this election.

Ps. I may have broke my keyboard by how hard I typed this.

[JPhillips]

I wish there was general revulsion at attacks on defense lawyers. Both sides do it, but it really degrades our justice system. Even the worst people have a right to an attorney, and in our system defendants get an advocate.

[mtolson]

Trump has finally given me enough desire to contribute to Clintons campaign.

Negotiated no handshake?

If it's on tape? Look at the outrage here. I can dislike Trump's comments about women while not pretending to be mildly surprised by them, but they've given the opening for people to be apoplectic and feign shock.

[SirFozzie]

They've shot up Trump with Horse Tranquilizers before this

[digamma]

This is uncomfortable.

[claphamsa]

is trump baked?

[NobodyHere]

Criticizing a woman's appearance is now rape?

Does the word have no meaning anymore?

There should be enough ammunition that Clinton shouldn't have to commit such hyperbole. Or is criticizing a woman's words now considered rape?

[mtolson]

He needs a new line. The country I live in is pretty damn great. Is it perfect, nope. Do I still experience racism, yup. But still, I think my county is great.

I don't think she said rape, I think it was rate. It sounded off to me atfirst as well.

Maybe I shouldn't drink so much before watching the debates. Then again I could never watch this thing sober.

[mauchow]

Yeah, something is off. He's extremely subdued.

[cuervo72]

And sniffing again.

Some people are saying he has emphysema.

[Swaggs]

I don't think I can handle 90 minutes of cringe like this.

Naw I don't think it was the booz, it did sound like she said rape when I first heard it.

[cuervo72]

Well, he's playing to his base for sure.

[mauchow]

Well, I figured it would be bad but I didn't expect a bickering fest over who is the worser person for President.

Wtf

[EagleFan]

How did we get ourselves here? Can a sniper solve this problem with two shots please?

[mckerney]

Well I didn't know Clinton had been acid washing.

[cthomer5000]

What a shitshow

It's a nervous tic. It's a way to buy time while he thinks. My son with Asbergers does the the same thing when you ask him a serious question.

[wustin]

He's sniffing because of the line of coke he just snorted remember.

I had predicted before the general election started that Trump would not win a single battleground state (being in one myself). I simply did not see how he could since his "base" is a minority of voters in all of those states, including Colorado.

I have longed agreed with JPhillips that if this election was about Clinton, Trump wins; and vice-versa, but that still did not explain (to me) of why a good number of people would actually vote 'for Trump'. He's been around a long time and people are now just learning about him?!? He has and still is only a rich, entitled fake reality show star on the same level as honey boo-boo and real housewives. Shame on a culture for elevating him beyond that level.

Since I had longed stated that I will vote none of the above, the only results I wish for is a Republican Congress and a Democratic Executive.

That's how his handlers want him to be in the debate, I'm guessing it won't last long (not watching)

Pure shit show for 30 minutes. Donald is a dick. LOL

Yeah it didnt last long. He's already amped up and cutting Hillary off often.

Anderson Cooper should tell the candidates to just STFU when they go beyond their time.

That wasn't good, but also a big blunder by Hillary to not mention to the woman who asked the question that our president is a Muslim.

I suggested to my son the other night that it should be like ESPN talking head shows where they just mute/shut off the mike after the time expires.

This q and a is one of my favorite things ever.

[mckerney]

What is he doing to that chair?

[BishopMVP]

I did not have Hillary leading the "believe me" prop bet.

[mtolson]

What is this fool babbling about....no one even asked about his taxes or Russian loans.
