Hillary vs. Trump, 2016 Presidential Debates

[goldfly]

And what does it tell you that the game show host is beating her in the polls?

i already knew most of this country is filled with dumb ****s

just didn't know how many are xenophobic racists still and it makes me sad

what does it tell you though?

[Oklahomahawk]

OK can we agree that the rabid Rs are gonna vote for Trump, say he won the debate no matter what, etc.? And can we agree that the rabid Ds are gonna vote for Hilldog, say she won the debate no matter what, etc.?

So what's it gonna take for either/both of them to woo the other 1/3 "toaster brains" who always decide elections, despite the insults hurled their way by Ann Coulter?

Here are my predictions?

If Trump puts aside the talk radio BS strategy of "Crooked Hillary", "Benghazi", "Oh those emails", etc., and actually talk about real plans he has to help regular Americans, not just "Oh I've got a plan, trust me, I"ll make things better, etc." but plans that a normal person can actually see, visualize, feel are at least somewhat plausible, he has a chance. To me the only thing that will cause him to lose other than falling back into the "talk radio strategy" of stuff I just mentioned is if Hilldog gets him flustered. If he shows an actual grasp of the facts, reality, domestic and foreign policy, and can conduct himself like a semi-adult he has a chance. Once he starts down "that other road" of things I just mentioned he won't be able to dig himself back out and she'll blow him out of the water. If he can follow the instructions I just listed, he has a chance.

Hilldog needs to stick to a realistic plan of what she plans to do, stay away from the personal attacks as well, unless he launches one her way, then she needs to respond with a comeback that both counters what he says and shows why he's not qualified to be president, not because he's an egotistical lunatic, but because he literally doesn't know how to do the jobs kind of stuff. She also needs to make sure his "schtick" doesn't get her off her game, just like he needs to not allow from her.

Advantage going in IMO, Hilldog without question, she has all the experience in politics, debates, policy, etc., Trump will lose if he plays her game, if he can show a decent understanding of the basics, avoid getting flustered or falling prey to his own ego and temper, and put forth an actual plan he can win. I'd still say Hilldog has the definite advantage going in, but we all know how much that's worth in the sports world, and I think the political world is even nuttier and more fickle than the sports world.

Your thoughts...

And what does it tell you that the game show host is beating her in the polls?

That Fox News and right wing radio has brainwashed half of America into believing their absurd propaganda.

That Hillary isn't progressive enough.

What it doesn't tell you is that the white-supremacist, con man, game show host should be President.

Trump's doing a good job early. Hitting her very hard but sticking on the issues.

[njc108]

Haha Trump looks crazy.

[Garmel]

Trickle down caused the recession? As an economic/business major I can't help but laugh at the bull****.

I'm not seeing it. She is far more composed.

Apparently you can get HRC's book at your nearest bookstore or airport...who had her as the first to hawk product during the debate?

Well she lost her email list so she had to get the word out another way.

[njc108]

Release your taxes fool!!!! Hahaha Trump looks like a fool.

Same. This entire first 33 minutes has been laughable from an economics standpoint

To be fair that's both sides and most Americans get brainwashed by the media's propaganda. It's a sad reality that we live in. The media doesn't report the news, they push agendas and America for the most part eats it up.

[Garmel]

Trump looks shaky.

[bravesnumberone]

At 9:37, we get our first "reason to believe."

[weso1]

She's more composed, but Trump doesn't seem unstable or crazy. He looks passionate, and hitting her really hard on the issues.

[weso1]

Trump took the bait on that last one by defending his income, should've kept going after her email.

[acesfull86]

I think she's beating him handily.

[weso1]

Hillary has won the next round after taking a beating early in the debate. Trump defending his business too much as a narcissist arse is known to do.
