I'm convinced some of his fans think this is an election for middle school class president.

Seems that way to me.

Many of the comments his supporters make sound like middle school boys trash talking.

That they plan to vote for him even though about half think he will use nuclear weapons is astounding.

How many times have we heard that though Trump may be brash and impulsive and talk about using nuclear weapons, those around him would keep him from doing so "unnecessarily."

What the hell? Why elect a President who needs to be monitored and who, exactly, would do the monitoring?

I don't know. I'm at a loss.

But yes, a lot of the threads here are full of childish comments. It's like we're not dealing with adults...

Perhaps if he blames a terrorist attack on a YouTube video he can improve his standing with you and the far left.

Fact check is misleading . I have read the fact check and it is half truths and bias as hell.

Might be worth it to tune into Bloomberg for the debate then get post debate commentary from another network


Really!

Bloomberg the one who endorsed Hilliary!

Better call it fake tracker!

Why do liberals always want someone to do their thinking for them?


You're the one voting. Do your own fact checking, for God's sake!

I would think the Trump side would want fact checking too. I am kind of surprised this has become such a big deal. Obviously if either side tells a whopper, the other side will call them out. I do think the moderator has to call out obvious lies. Not that this would ever happen but if Clinton said "Donald's actually a democrat" or Trump said "Hillary said she's voting for me" those things would have to be called out. And if lets say Trump says "I am up by 30 in Vermont" or Clinton said "I'm leading by 15 in Kansas" that would have to be called out. Basic obvious things. Shouldn't be that difficult.

Trump does not want his statements fact checked it will make him look more like a A Clown
