    yeah i stand corrected. side note: would be pretty funny if trump wins ohio/florida/nevada/wisconsin and still loses.

    when people say this, i mentally group them with the kids who thought zeitgeist was super profound. like, think this through. if a major news organization actually found something that scandalous with the democratic candidate....that's how you win pulitzers. that's the function of the news. it's so mind-bendingly stupid to suggest that, like, the washington post and cnn are sitting around doing damage control. it's insane, and it's not how the press works.

    Yeah it's interesting how some states have moved towards him...he will almost certainly win Iowa, and probably Ohio too. Nevada is a strong possibility but the polls seem to be moving away from him in recent days. I personally feel pretty confident about Florida and Wisconsin staying in Clinton's column but we'll see.

    Then maybe you could explain to me why she isn’t in prison right now. Never mind what was in the e-mails—that's another topic unto itself. If virtually anyone else did what she did they’d be arrested immediately. That's not an argument; that's a reality.

    Moreover, since we’re talking about the debate, why wasn’t the email scandal brought up? Not to mention there was absolutely nothing about immigration, nothing about the Muslim invasion or Muslim terrorism, nothing about her disaster in the Middle East, nothing about the debacle of Syria, which she caused. Instead Lester Holt turned half the debate into some kind of liberal college exercise in racism, ignoring the much bigger issues in the world. The whole thing just seemed like a setup to make Trump look like the most racist/misogynistic man on earth. If he’s aggressive with Hillary, he’s abusive toward women, and if he (understandably) snaps at the moderator, he’s a racist. This was all too predictable based on how glorified Hillary is in the media and how demonized Trump is.

    I think Hillary Clinton is an abysmal candidate. Just awful. But it's so pathetic when people think they're enlightened to "the media" skewing things yet don't realize their opinion of HRC is clouded by decades of GOP smears.
    Because: there was no criminal wrongdoing; there was precedent for her email setup; because there is no evidence that anything she did materially compromised national security.
    I mean, it's not. You can think that, but it's fundamentally untrue.

    I also think it should be mentioned how most people complaining about this have literally zero idea how governmental offices work. Every single person in congress, in state houses, in any elected or un-elected office keeps certain things on private email addresses. It's technically illegal, but it's almost impossible to regulate. It's a way of getting around the FOIA, and it's standard practice. It's why there's nothing that damning on Christie re: the bridge debacle: that's buried on a Gmail address somewhere.

    Is this your first election cycle? Topics are parceled out over the three or four that are scheduled. It's been this way since 1960.
    Holt was bad, but this is a bizarre way to characterize him or the debate itself. There are cities that are literally on fire as a result of the police killing unarmed black people and your argument is "There are bigger issues in the world, like an email scandal that was cleared by a Republican FBI director" lol.
    Is there anybody in America who thought that Trump was a racist because he...snapped at Holt? That's not a thing. People think Trump is a racist because of decades of business practices and the actual foundation of his candidacy.
    I dunno if the dumber part of this is the phrase "the media" or the idea that "the media" "glorifies" her.

    You shills just don't get it do you? Are you blind? Did you even see what just happened?

    Did you catch it? It was happening right before your eyes the entire night. Did you even get the point? No..? Let me clarify.

    This entire debate was nothing more than a beta test for Trump. An analysis of Clinton. What makes her tick.. What are her weak spots.. He was simply watching her. Probing her.. Studying and diagnosing her every move and tactic. And she fell right into his trap like the pawn she is.

    This is not an average man you're dealing with here. Make no mistake, this is a genius beyond your wildest nightmares. He was toying with her like a cat with a mouse, while she was fighting for her life. She has nothing left.

    Now that he has a full mental blueprint of his enemy there is nothing that can stop him. Expect something out of this world in the next 2 debates. Something unprecedented in all of modern politics.

    Mark my words, the lion has been let out of the cage, and he's hungry tonight. So go now, retreat to your twitter and your reddit accounts. Rejoice with your friends for this short lived victory. Pray to your false gods while you still have the faith.

    NOTHING is going to prepare you for the storm which is about to come. You WILL be brought to heel before winter ends.

    no disrespect to matt and/or rolling stone, but i disagree. hillary is a weak, flawed candidate... but there's very clearly a dbl standard going on.
    wait shouldnt you not be citing ppp? theyre pretty established as having a pro dem bias no (you may know more about this than me)

    obviously CNN is pro hillary just like fox is pro trump lol, after the debate they had lauren ingram on fox news and a clinton campaign person on CNN, like those people are going to somehow be objective lol. they are all so biased and slanted it's not really worth listening to them because there really isnt any real analysis on those channels just propaganda and dickriding

    CNN's commentary panels are full of people on both sides who disclose their affiliations on the on-screen graphics, lol. that's not even close to what we're talking about. we're talking about actual hard news.

    as usual, lamont completely misses the point, lol. it has nothing to do with her legislative record--it's that she's an awful campaigner and has botched her overall response to almost every major political problem she's faced for the last 18 months.
