  • I liked when Trump destroyed Clinton here

    When asked on her statement about having a public/private position on policy she said it's like Abe Lincoln and the 13th amendment.

    Then went on to talk about wikileaks and the Russian boogeyman

    But Trump destroyed her in response, also Hillary validated the authenticity of the podesta emails - not that there was any doubt (podesta himself suggested they were fake)

  • I like when he said he'd answer the phone at 3am when Benghazi 2 happens because he's already up shit posting and tweeting about sex tapes at 3am now.

    I remembered that line, so I guess Trump won. Right?

    Sounds good to me, and the tweet was about Machado's criminal past not just a sex tape.

    Clinton did nothing except bring out the Russian boogeyman and dodged questions, don't see how she won.

  • Oh, right. He said all of those other things in his tweets at 3am. Not just the sex tape part.

    If it was just the sex tape it wouldn't be very presidential, but all of that other stuff saved it...

  • higgardly's "you go low, we go high" is laughable, even to inner city life long dems.

    Seriously, look at the low blow commercials that are all out on the tv. Trump didn't "go low"

    in the first debate - SHE DID. hahahaha.

    that's so funny.

    anyways, Trump got his important message out about different subjects, and put her on the defensive is

    a very serious way, and she completely fumbled it. Trump has made an ass of himself in the past, etc.

    But higgardly IS always an ass, and made an ass of herself in this second debate. Why? Her famous nervous

    clown grin is worse than fake - honest observers surely notice it's a knee jerk reaction and wonder "what's wrong with her

    with all the smiling at every tough question, every tough statement. what was funny there?"

    I really wanted Benghazi and the four dead Americans being brought up. crap. Why cant the mods ask her that

    question? Like "higgardly, you said nobody died in libya, yet 4 Americans did, you publicly blamed it on a video, but now we

    find out you said behind the scenes you said it was terrorism, then in front of Congress you said "at this point, what difference

    does it make?". Higgardly, when Americans die overseas, why do you think it makes no difference?"

    Anyways, Trump started off slowly, and as higgardly kept stepping in it, he started putting higgardly deservedly on

    the defensive, and she fumbled the ball and crapped on every question put to her.

    She didn't even try to justify her deletion of all those emails. She was toast at this debate.

    BTW, I think it's dumb to quibble over biased opinion polls that show Trump won signiicantly, and then

    back up that assertion about biased polls by bringing in CNN polls. That's just so shockingly silly it's laughable.

  • ... the population is "debate watchers"

    more Dems watch debates than Reps

    so more Dems ended up being polled

    Groundbreaking stuff here.

  • Fivethirtyeight literally runs 20,000 simulations to remove bias from their decision making in forecasting models. I doubt you can even count that high yet alone understand what that stands for in predictive analytics.

    The funny part is (and the thing you can't get through your thick skull) is that I'm looking through this with no feelings whatsoever. You won't find a single post where I support Hilldawg because I don't. But you also gotta realize what every reliable poll we have is saying, and that's the fact that the Donald ship is sinking. It's not sunk, but that performance last night sure as shit didn't patch the hole either. If it was the other way around, I'd be saying it was suggesting that-but it's just not.

  • I'd say the general consensus is that Trump destroyed the bitch.

    You're saying negative things about Trump

    YOU LOVE HILLARY! That's the only way this works!

  • Christopher R Barron: ‘Trump succeeded in recapturing the momentum’

    280.png?w=300&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fi

    After a poor first debate performance – and the Friday release of the Access Hollywood tape – Republican nominee Donald Trump needed to hit a home run Sunday night to change the narrative and recapture the momentum.

    Trump succeeded, and he succeeded before the first question was even asked.

    Trump’s pre-debate press event with four women who have accused both Clintons of wrongdoing changed the conversation from what Donald Trump said in 2005 to what Bill and Hillary Clinton actually did.

    Bill Clinton accusers support Trump

    It is clear that Trump’s pre-game press conference not only got talking heads to change the conversation, but it got Hillary Clinton – once believed to be unflappable – off her game, in a big way.

    If Clinton was prepared for whatever Trump threw at her, it certainly didn’t come across in this debate.

    Gone was the happy warrior from the last debate; in its place was a new defensive Hillary Clinton.

    Trump kept Clinton on her heels for the entire debate. Whether sparring over Obamacare or foreign policy or tax reform or job creation, he effectively kept hammering her on her 30-year record.

    Instead of a debate that was focused on Trump’s vulgar comments, the debate was focused on policy issues, and despite all of Clinton’s “preparation” when it came to the nuts and bolts of policy, Trump managed to not only go toe-to-toe with Clinton, he often got the best of her.

    Trump needed to win tonight to stay alive. Clinton did not. Trump won, and he lives to fight another day. This race is far from over.

  • Nate silver's model assured me that Trump would never get the nomination even after he basically clinched it

    If this stuff interests you, he wrote a really good piece on how he got that wrong. I was fascinated-

  • Didn't ole Nate also just reduce the D lean he had for several pollsters by 1 or 2 points like a month ago?

  • FWIW Wikileaks just dumped 2000 more Podesta emails this morning.

    Interesting one https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3990

    Beyond this Hillary should stop attacking Bernie, especially when she says things that are untrue, which candidly she often does. I am one of the people with credibility to suggest Bernie people support her in November, and she and Benenson and others have no idea of the damage she does to herself with these attacks, which she does not gain by making.

    I'm sure that pro mmgw scientists run thousands of simulations, too. but they are still wrong, moron.

    When America is dealing with emotional issues, and logical faults of candidates, of course there is bias in the

    voting. So, your assertion that taking all bias out of it, allegedly by running "thousands of simulations"...

    just makes it worthless. Are you so stupid that you don't understand that programmers set up those simulations?

    CASE IN POINT, JRBmoron. Read it and weep. You just stepped in it with your 538 data worship.
