Presidential Debate part 2

[TLDR20]

Second debate thread.

I will close this Tuesday night. Keep this to the debate, there is an election thread as well.

 

[Red Flag 1]

Question one to Clinton: Softball

Question one to Trump: Hardball

 

[Marine0311]

Trump is speaking in a very soft tone. He seems very reserved. Maybe those in the GOP smacked his hand?

 

[TLDR20]

This is terrible.

 

[Marine0311]

This is terrible.

It's like a train wreck that you have to keep watching. :wall:

 

[Ooh-Rah]

"Because you'd be in jail" was a grand slam home run.

 

[ThunderHorse]

This thing is rough. But he's hitting some home runs.

 

[TLDR20]

I would really like to see Trump do something other than attack Clinton. Defend your policies, defend your positions. Talk about what you will do man!

 

[TLDR20]

"Because you'd be in jail" was a grand slam home run.

I would like to see a debate where one candidate doesn't threaten the other with jail if elected, that seems like banana republic politics to me.

Yeah, Trump got in some solid shots but he's starting to get agitated. We'll see what happens in the next few minutes.

 

[TLDR20]

Trump is calling for removing state lines for Health insurance?

 

[ThunderHorse]

I do like how Trump is standing the entire time.

Trump is calling for removing state lines for Health insurance?

I originally thought that was the point of the ACA before congress actually started on it.

 

[Il Duce]

Trump supporters love the attack lines - I'm not sure if others do. I think these debates - tactically - are about winning over people. Don't think Trump is doing that - we'll see on HRC.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Yeah, Trump got in some solid shots but he's starting to get agitated. We'll see what happens in the next few minutes.

Agree - but my perception anyway, is that it is Anderson and Hilary vs. Trump.

 

[ThunderHorse]

Anderson is doing well at control compared to Lester.

Yeah Anderson needs to chill the fuck out. He makes it look like the debate is one sided which helps Trump, these things need to be objective.

 

[TLDR20]

Anderson is doing well at control compared to Lester.

But he is also attacking Trump.

 

[Il Duce]

I think the journalists trying to moderate have a tough task with Trump. He tends to make a lot of unsubstantiated claims and it drives the journalistic community nuts - I think all the moderators want to not get rolled by him. HRC does it in the traditional manner - answering the question you wish you were asked rather than the one you were actually asked. I think it's a stylistic disconnect none of the TV journalists can get on top of.

 

[Salt USMC]

That Lincoln line. Ouch.

 

[ThunderHorse]

That Lincoln line. Ouch.

Those weren't exactly easy things to get through congress.
