Final Celebrity Deathmatch, Er, Uh, Presidential Debate Open Thread

Filed under: General — Dana @ 5:07 pm



[guest post by Dana]

The third and final presidential debate is tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. The topics include Debt & Entitlement, Immigration, Economy, Supreme Court, Foreign Hot Spots, and *Fitness to be President. Notice that sexual assault is not listed.

With Trump’s numbers plummeting, I am expecting a no-holds-barred-take-no-prisoners eruption of gargantuan proportion from the Republican contender. After all, what better way to stimulate interest in a possible post-election venture, Trump TV? Tonight’s reality show is just a dress rehearsal! Obviously he is vulnerable in any number of areas tonight.

For her part, Hillary is going to have to contend with the untimely release of former television news reporter Leslie Milwee’s claim that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her while governor of Arkansas. Her video testimony is riveting and believable. However, given Hillary’s almost non-reaction to the presence of three of her husband’s victims at the previous debate, I suspect she won’t be too deterred by this latest revelation. Perhaps more damning to her will be the Wikileak revelations of the past two weeks and her obvious lies about her handling of classified email, as well as her comfy and financially beneficial relationship with Goldman-Sachs, in spite of her demonization of Wall Street.

No matter how it goes, one thing remains certain, nobody with a sound mind is fooled by these two awful candidates. Not really. Because as their recent appearances on the streets of New York City made clear, there is absolutely no doubt that these wanna-be emperors are wearing no clothes. And America is the poorer for it. In so many ways.

(*If the issue of character comes up tonight, I anticipate both candidates to be struck by lightening. Which reminds me, the little-known candidate, Evan McMullin, is now leading in the latest Utah presidential poll.)

  5. — I wonder how much the artist got for this?
    — I don’t know, but he should have gotten life.

    nk (dbc370)

  6. Different artists. Trump one was mocked, yet tourists flocked to have their picture taken with him. An employee in a building where the Hillary one stood, ran out and was in tears as she laid the statue down and flung her body over Hillary, so no one could see her womanly apparatus. A feminist I read, said that it was okay to have the Trump statues up but not the Hillary one because objectification and all that…

    Dana (d17a61)

  7. those were both disturbing portraits, but considering some of the imagery rolling around in 2008, re Obama and the Huntress, well be thankful

    narciso (d1f714)

  8. I believe Clinton’s cloven hoofs capture her essence quite well. The artist obviously flattered her in the balance of the piece.

    Rick Ballard (1919a4)

  9. as another commenter said in a different context, kim il song complains he doesn’t get press like this,

  10. The artist obviously flattered her in the balance of the piece.

    I agree. Not quite Venus of Willendorf but more feminine than Hillary has ever appeared.

    Dejectedhead (0c7c2f)

  20. Finally fixed that mike.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  21. The first question is what should be a very easy question: the supreme Court, and Trump can’t really answer it. He’s stumbling through it, filibustering a little. He mentioed something about Ruth bader Ginsberg having to apologize.

    Nothing about textualism, originalism what’s wrong maybe with Hillary’s stated philosophy of the Supreme Court standing up dor people, why Cuitizens United was a good decision.

    He can’t answer the question.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  22. “There is no doubt I resect the 2nd amendment.” – Maudie.

    Hillary talks about Planned Parenthood.

    she even mentions Donald trump’s talk about punishment which he retracetected right awy.

    Hillary asked about how far abortion goes. She voted according to Roe v Wade.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  37. @29 Sammy

    What do you mean the 2nd am isn’t a big constitutional issue? Because it’s settled or not important?

    Pinandpuller (151723)

  38. Hillary’s right, that’s not how it happens. They stab the baby in the head and suction out the brains first.

    Dejectedhead (0c7c2f)

  39. HRC just got away with an ENORMOUS lie. Wallace complicit.

    Ed from SFV (3400a5)

    Ed from SFV (3400a5)

  75. But it’s okay that American journalists can collide with the DNC??

  76. *collude*

    Dana (d17a61)

    They’ll get into personal attacks. AShe had also attacked him for employing illegal immigrants to build Trump tower

    Most important question says Huillary is what Trump’s attitude is to Russian espionage.

    Trump notied that was a great picot from open borders.

    (Hillary actually wass talking only about western hemiphere, free trade zone.

    urbanleftbehind (847a06)

  100. She’s making no sense.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  101. Hillary says Trump has been very cavalier about nuclear weapons.

    About 4 minute between order ad launch – taht’s why 10 people would not trust Donald trump with nuclear codes. Trump cites number of generals endorsing him/

    Predsiction: Trump will not be able to talk coherently on this.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  106. She has to do everything he does, but backwards and catheterized.

    Pinandpuller (151723)

  107. I think it’s starting to sink in for Trump that he’s going to lose.

    Patterico (bcf524)

  108. Maybe too worried about hearing her voice for 4 years. Took Randy Travis 3 years to be able to sing a song.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  115. @111 DCSCA

    The mic shadows and button makes a Jack in the Box on her chest.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  117. I don’t think she is going to collapse.
    Ergo she wins the election.
    Patterico (bcf524)

    — It might be highly unpalatable to contemplate, but this is the truth of the matter.

    Icy (1dd25d)

  118. @114 Sammy

    The argument is: Don’t give her authority!

    Pinandpuller (151723)

  119. “”Is that your dream, open borders?”

    Wallace to Clinton.

    Clinton: “I was talking about energy.”

    Can we get a fact check?”

    – Vodkapundit

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0)

  120. He’s right.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  121. Trump: jobs ahve fled. If he can’t make a great trade deal, he’ll terminate NaFTA.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  123. Clinton: “I was talking about energy.”

    Can we get a fact check?”

    – Vodkapundit

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 10/19/2016 @ 6:41 pm

    Its half true. Better would be she was talking about a free trade zone.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  124. She is again entitled to her own facts.

    Ed from SFV (3400a5)

  125. So if congress raises taxes on people under 250k is she going to shut down the government?

    Pinandpuller (151723)

  126. Clinton like her husband uses the terms debt and deficit like they meant the same thing. The deficit went down to zero during the Clinton Administration (because of economic growth) but not he debt.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  127. Obama. Another crutch.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  128. He took some hard positions alright.

    Pinandpuller (151723)

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0)

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0)

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  136. She’s fought against free market capitalism.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  137. Hillary: Fought against illegal dumping – but Trump bought cheap Chinese steel.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  138. DJT has lost the debate. He had to attack the stew out of her lies with specific truths. He could not allow the same old, same old, back and forth.

    He certainly was given openings.

    Short of physical incapacitation, she takes the oath in January.

    Ed from SFV (3400a5)

  139. 123… Don’t be goin’ all politifact on us, Sammeh

    Colonel Haiku (2601c0)

  140. Trump – why didn’t you didn’t do it over 15 to 20 years.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  141. Home run, Trump.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  142. I’m watching the game, but I’m guessing from your comments that Hillary is out-bulls***ing Trump? She lies and he doesn’t know what the truth is?

    nk (dbc370)

  143. Hillary fought to keep out Chinese steel and Trump brought it in anyway. Has she ever won a fight?

    Pinandpuller (151723)

    She was spending it.

    DCSCA (797bc0)

  147. Trum; ^ million or iod billion dollars missing from state department. Hillary: not only not true but debunked.

    Hillary 30 years – Chidlrens defense Fund vs sued for discrimination.

  160. Celebrate the deplorables.

    Pinandpuller (151723)

  161. Notice how HRC does not bother to even deny the direct accusation of fomenting violence at political rallies? She was sooooooo eager to not let anything distract from her women message. Quite telling.

    Ed from SFV (3400a5)

  162. Trump said those stoiies have been largely debunked.

    Says she mentions this all fictionalized – what isn’t ifctionalized is destruction of e-mails. What happened to FBI – I don’t know. One general otentially 5 years in jal for lying to FBI 4 star general and she lies many times.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

    It’s not a bad marketing stratagem wrt the target market for the Loser News Network. The typical Loser News viewer is very likely to have the same death grip on innumeracy as the fervent Trump supporters in the primaries. The revenue problem for Loser News is going to be the very low disposable income numbers among the target audience. You actually have to own a home in order to be dumb enough to take out a reverse mortgage.

    Rick Ballard (1919a4)

  252. They talked about several other matters. One issue was the offensve in MOsl which pivited to Aleppo. Trump was saing a lot of things at random., some of whihch made sense, but it didn’t get anywhere. If regaining Mosul benefits Iran then doesn’t fighting ISIS in syria do that, too??

    And he had to throw in about refugee terrorism, but he still clled it the Great Migration and had to defend his earlier claim taht Aleppo had de facto fallen. he said several times it was terrible.

    Trumpp had this thing about 3 months warning so ISIS leaders could get out of MMosul (where they ever really there?) and Hillary spoke again about “lleverage” again

    Some or all of what she was saying – everywhere – was over eople’s heads, but her arguments and lies cold wihthstand quite abit of examination.

    Trump said Hillary shouldn’t be allowed to run. I must have missed her impeachment which is the only disaualification besides the 22nd amendment and some basic minimum eligibility requirements.

    Siscuassasion about debt and Chris Wallace gave them both an unexpected final opportunity to make closing statements.

    Switched away from the game just long enough to hear him once again deny saying something that he is on tape saying (disparaging the appearance of his grope accusers).

    Hillary later cited a specific starement.

    Now maybe Trump could say he never gave the appearance of his accusers as his principle or only defense, and he didn’t do it with every last one of them, but he did do that with a few and it was meant to settle the case – to trump all the other arguments. (and in some case it seemed like maybe he was commenting on their appearance now, and not then) I think Trump claimed the accusaitons had bene debuked (not sure if he claimed all of them had)

    Trump said they either did it for fame or were put up to it by the Clinton campaign and the Clinton campaign had sponsored violence at his rallies.

    Trump also claimed he had been against the Iraq war. Hillaey said google it and you can even listen to the audio.

    Oh- and this Trump didn’t know – but Bill Clinton told abigger and ore gegregious lie about his position on the Persians Gulf War in 1991 – in 1992 he claimed he’d supported it and was the only Democrat running for president who had.

  264. colin powell was a little less tactful on the subject,

    narciso (d1f714)

  265. You don’t want to be hated by Haitians. They’ll do voodoo on you. On the other hand, Haiti is a corrupt cesspool and the hatred probably means that the Clintons did not give the aggressive beggars all the pelf they thought they were entitled to.

  267. Hillary was claiming that Clinton Foundation was a very highly rated charity (talk about rigging something) and they spent 90% of their donations on charity while the Trump Foundation bought a portrait of Donald Trump. Trump said ikt was a small foundation and they didn’t buy boats etc and they spent 100% of the money they got.

    Hillary said we couldn’t know what the Trump Foundation does because Trump does not release his tax returns – but foundations do release them, at leasst if they want to be able to copntinue legally reaising money (The Trump Foundation did delay and lost the right to raise money in New York recently mabe temporarily)

  272. Hilary also mentioned he lawsuits and Trump said something about riasing the American flag. Theer were actually two lawsuits against Trump golf ocoutes settled by means of agreeing to donate money to charity. ne was about a prize for a Hole on One that an insurane company had refused to cover.

    They also never descrobed what was the tax provision that Warren Buuffett and George soris also used (according to Trump) taht Hillary never tried to get rid of.

    Sammy Finkelman (22cc00)

  273. Well, it’s not actually Hillary they allegedly hate, but the Clinton Foundation.

    This is the only debate I watched.
    If I was a LIV, I would probably think she would be a better POTUS.
    –She had wonky policy details, he had slogans and vague promises about how he would make great deals.
    –I wouldn’t know what he was talking about when he referred to the Project Veritas videos, and Haiti, and wouldn’t know enough to understand Wallace’s references to the Wikileaks emails. And if it was left to Trump, we would have no references to them. In fact, she made better use of them than he did as a point of attack.
    –She looked calm and collected, like a polite hostess. He looked stressed and petulant.
    —And final point: he looked like he had health problems, but not her. For one thing, he looked flushed and orange skinned. Maybe the make-up was rigged?
    Of course, I know about the videos, etc and know how corrupt she is, so I won’t vote for her. But LIVs….

    10-2 is better. It means there’s some offensive capability.

    I don’t know what the record shows, but I suspect more games are recovered by the teams that are losing from 10-2 than from 8-0. Maybe there are not enough of them. Try 4-2 and 2-0. I think 4-2 is better. 5-2 is better than 3-0.

    buffet doesn’t pay taxes because of carried interest and the foundations he directs.

    that makes Trump out to be liar, or someone who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, because the big thing in Trump’s case was “net operating loss” that was passed rhrough. and the kicker is, the loss probably was, in large part, of borrowed money that he eventally didn’t have to pay back, [but the forgiven debt was not added back to his income. (President Cllinton signed the big big billin 1993 that restored that provision that had been substantually removved in the 1986 tax bill)

    And also some of the loss was depreciation. Of course the cost of a building or any investment is a business expense, like the cost of cost of goods sold is – except that often the value of a piece of property doesn’t drop so it should really, really, be considered capital and not a business
    expense.

They went largely to the same schools, intermarried, traveled back and forth between big government, big banks, big military, big Wall Street, and big media — and sound quite clever without being especially bright, attuned to social justice but without character. Their religion is not so much progressivism, as appearing cool and hip and “right” on the issues. In this private world, off the record, Latinos are laughed off as “needy”; Catholics are derided as near medieval and in need of progressive tutoring on gay issues. Hillary is deemed a grifter — but only for greedily draining the cash pools of the elite speaker circuit to the detriment of her emulators…”
