It is such a shame some can't STOP trying to twist , and outright LIE, about what is ACTUALLY said.

From the transcript of the debate:

"Wallace: Mr. Trump, I want to ask you about one last question in this topic. You've been warning at rallies recently that this election is rigged and that Hillary Clinton is in the process of trying to steal it from you. Your running mate Governor Pence pledged on Sunday that he and you, his words, will absolutely accept the result of this election. Today your daughter Ivanka said the same thing. I want to ask you here on the stage tonight, do you make the same commitment that you'll absolutely accept the result of the election. Trump: I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now, I'll look at it at the time"
[LEFT]

If he said anything other than an unqualified "YES!" he is not fit to be an American, much less a candidate, and certainly not a president. That is not how Democracy operates. For 240 years the loser has congratulated the winner and pledged to support the efforts to make government better for all citizens.

Simply saying that the process is rigged without any proof to substantiate the claim and refusing to support the winner is a slap in the face to America.

Trump can't debate, Cruz should have been elected ar R nominee.. Hillary is canned, contrived, evil and sociopathic and doesn't believe a damn word that comes out of her mouth. Nor should anyone else.

We all lose this election.. But Trump is the farrrr lesser of two evils. So he should get the nod

If the election is very close, I would not begrudge the great pumpkin for ordering a recount.
If it's within a few hundred votes I could see it. I seriously doubt that will be the case.

Let's examine the important states. The states Trump MUST win.

PA - Clinton +6
OH - Clinton +4
FL - Clinton +4

He's not going to win. He can't carry enough of the important states to have enough electoral votes.

The National poll numbers if accurate, don't matter. Just ask Al Gore.

She might say that Trump is unstable...but I say that Clinton does a good job hiding her ability to control herself. If she loses is it - it will make Trump look like a school boy - and her a lunatic Roman emperor - watching with glee as the city burns.
I think you mean that any misogynist "can see crazed arrogant disruptive evil in that SMIRK [as well as] barely CONTROLABLE RAGE."

The "rage" you're talking about is your own, that you are projecting on what you perceive to be an uppity woman--a woman who kicked Trump's a$$.

How is Trump the lesser of two evils? Fact checking has actually found that his lies way outnumber Clinton's and he has barely scratched the surface for time spent in politics. He's also a conspiracy nut or at least someone that proliferates the bat crap crazy conspiracy theories and I do not think that a POTUS should be a guy that is king of the birther movement.

You have to give Trump credit though. Not too long ago Putin address our government officials and he was more presidential than our own president. It was an embarrassment. He did say it was wrong for another country to get involved. I read the report from the government last night that said they are "confident" that they are behind it on October 7. https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsro...rity-statement






He did come off more genuine where she did come off as scripted. There were multiple times last night that I thought that. I even rewatched it after the kids went to bed and noticed it too. She even made some weird facial expressions and movements when she was called a liar, dishonest etc.

I also noticed last night that she gave out some big information that no one needs to know. It takes 4 minutes from the time the president gives the order for nuclear weapons to be used and actually used.

Also once again searched out the claim of every candidate releasing his tax returns over the past 40 years. Um...Gerald Ford did not in 1976 (40 years ago).

She kept going on about the economic disaster Obama inherited. 1) She and Obama are part of that problem and 2) looking at the deficit and debt between Oct 1 then vs now (the Governments Fiscal year starts on Oct 1). There is a $129 billion difference in the deficit and the national debt has doubled.
Yes, he came off as "genuine"--genuinely ignorant, unprepared and repulsive. The fact that he knows nothing about how government works and, instead, just spews nonsense and insults right and left, is also quite "genuine."

Didn't the French revolution end with Napoleon eventually being emperor?

Trump brought a knife to the gun fight. Hill's gun was locked and loaded.
