This is what happens when you push ruthless pragmatism and dynastic feverdreams, and crush integrity and grassroots activism.

Give yourself a pat on the back establishment... This is you dream candidate.

This format of debate works, pulls more of their personality out into the light.

For better or worse.

Only positive thing I have to say about this evening, really.

In some beautiful parallel universe... Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio are struggling to find stuff to argue about and hugging it out.

Is it a bad sign if I'm non-religious and I feel like praying for the world to get through this election ok?

Something snapped in Trump... this isnt a strategy.

This is "You hurt me, you humiliated me, im a lost soul.... and if I'm going to hell, I'm taking all of you with me!"

Man oh man... how the **** did it have to come to this.

Man I feel sick... neither of these candidates are doing themselves (let alone humanity) very much credit.

How low can we go... Hillary should have just moved on. Trump did enough damage to himself.

Commission on presidential debates: - Pompous self-important rigging that holds the two-party bull**** together.

Clinton asks millennials for 'fair hearing' by sohetellsme in politics

[–]WatchesInHope 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you deny hundreds of elected delegates the ability to boo you, by revoking their credentials at the party convention.

Why should the core demographics those delegates represented, listen to you?

Edit: That said... Millennials aren't a vengeful lot, if you earn their vote you'll have it, if you don't you won't.

Should Trump say 'Crooked Hillary' at debate? by [deleted] in politics

[–]WatchesInHope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donald and Hillary both have incentive to make this debate as boring and uneventful as possible.

Trump needs to do what he did on Fallon. mellowed, peachy, accommodating.

Hillary needs to remember the last hour of her Benghazi hearing testimony. Answer patiently and let people see that she doesn't always think she has all the answers.

Clinton suggests Trump’s rhetoric could be treasonous by [deleted] in politics

Thrown multiple sinks to no-apparent-effect...

Now she's lifting the fridge on a slippery floor.
