Yes I will be blogging the next debate

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

Right here.

9:00–Citizen questioners. This is going to be a train wreck. And this debate is going to be entirely about sex. Man, we’ve come a long way from the Lincoln Douglas debate.

9:01–Of course, Hillary must be prepared for this. There is no question in my mind of that. There is no way that she’s going to be caught off guard. The thing is, how is she going to handle it. She must have SOMEthing prepared. God, I hate this…but at the same time, you can’t look away, like a jackknifed tractor trailer.

9:03–This will be a new low no matter what.

9:04–HOW IN THE HÊLL CAN YOU NOT HAVE COMMITTED TO A CANDIDATE AT THIS POINT?!? JESUS CHRIST!!

9:05–They did not shake hands. I’m not surprised.

9:06–I like that she immediately asked if the questioner that was a teacher.

9:07–I can’t believe I’m saying it, but..I really like her outfit.

9:08–And he goes immediately to attack talking points rather than answer the question. He’s off and running. At least she addressed what she was asked.

9:10–Locker room talk. Jesus. I’ve been in plenty of locker rooms and I’ve never heard anyone talk like that. Quick! Deflect the question! Yup…he is. Drag in ISIS which has nothing to do with the question.

9:11–Yeah, he’s never done those things. And I’m positive that right now woman he has attacked/molested are grabbing their phones.

9:13–God, he looks like Alec Baldwin.

9:14–At least he’s not interrupting her.

9:15–It’s not just words. No one believes that for a second.

9:16–He knows he has zero support from blacks and Hispanics which is why he keeps mentioning them. And boy, the journalists are not backing off.

9:17–Here we go. She knew he was going to say this. She must be prepared.

9:18–He’s fighting to keep his voice flat and monotone. Hillary needs to send him off the rails.

9:20–So so far she’s not responding to his charges against Clinton and her. Interesting choice.

9:21–NO, CLINTON’S CAMPAIGN DID NOT START THE WHOLE BIRTHER THING.

9:22–So it’s gone from “Secretary Clinton” to “Hillary.” Well, she called him Bill, so it could be argued that she opened the door for that. Signing on with the devil? Seriously? So now she’s Satan? Boxes of emails? What the hëll are boxes of emails? And now he says if he wins he’s going to prosecute her? Jesus Christ.

9:23–She needs to slap him down. She needs to slap him down as hard as she can.

9:24–Well, the Trump supporters must have loved the “you’d be in jail” line.

9:26–He’s shifting a lot. He can’t just stand and listen.

9:27–Why are they letting him just respond endlessly? He keeps using the word “liar” just trying to get it to stick.

9:27–Drinking game challenge warning: Do NOT drink every time he sniffs because you’ll suffer from alcohol poisoning.

9:29–He keeps trying to interrupt and they keep stopping him. Oh my God, one on three.

9:29–No, he is not a gentleman. That fools no one.

9:30–She’s handling the health care question quite well so far.

9:32–Great answer. Best so far.

9:32–The biggest expense? Bigger than the military? Can anyone check that?

9:33–Whoa, whoa. Is he nuts? Everything I’ve heard is that Canada’s medical care is the best. At least that’s what Canadians have said.

9:35–Dude, stop trying to dismiss Anderson Cooper out of hand. It’s not working and it’s just going to piss him off.

9:36–Cooper keeps trying to get him to answer questions and Trump keeps dodging or interrupting or complaining.

9:37–THAT’S A SHAME?!?! HE PROMOTES IT!!

9:38–What is he SNIFFING?!?

9:38–He’s completely off the rails. Why in the hëll is everything regarding Muslims related to terrorism?

9:40–Yes. Yes. She’s nailing this one.

9:42–Oh my God. Oh my freaking God, he’s screwing himself to the floor.

9:42–They don’t interrupt her and demand she answer the question because she IS answering the question. That’s why, you jáçkášš.

9:44–Why does he keep pacing? To upstage her?

9:48–Boy, that’s a loaded question.

9:49–Seems a reasonable explanation regarding what she said.

9:50–Kathleen may have to leave the room because her blood pressure is beginning to skyrocket.

9:52–Once again he tries to change the subject so that he doesn’t have to answer it.

9:52–Whoa whoa whoa. He pays hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes? I thought he boasted about how clever he was for NOT paying his taxes.

9:53–Okay, so…it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault that tax laws weren’t changed that he took advantage of? So his taking advantage of tax laws is HER fault? Is anyone else having trouble tracking that?

9:55–What’s the sniff count up to?

9:56–That MAYBE enabled him to avoid paying taxes. Remember, we still don’t know for sure.

9:58–So he finally flat out admits that he hasn’t paid taxes for 18 years. Outstanding.

9:58–I don’t give a šhìŧ about Hillary Clinton’s friends because THEY ARE NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

10:00–And of course he interrupts again and again and again.

10:02–Anyone know if this is 90 minutes or two hours?

10:02–My God, he will NOT SHUT UP.

10:06–He thinks nukes are the answers to everything. Yes, we’re old and tired–of listening to him.

10:07–WHOA that was a big sniff.

10:08–Someone cut his microphone.

10:08–Oooo she’s hurling Pence at him.

10:09–Wait, they HAVEN’T SPOKEN? Since THE DEBATE?! Good Christ, and some people were snarking on Clinton because she didn’t speak to Kaine until the following DAY.

10:10–Yes, she assumed he couldn’t think of it; that’s why she was citing some.

10:11–Clinton is trying not to break up.

10:11–“I’m going to go to Secretary Clinton”…for some sanity.

10:12–Next debate I’m going to keep track of the number of times he interrupts her.

10:13–Definitely, arm the Kurds. Give them whey.

10:14–For the record, no, she didn’t go over. Two minutes.

10:16–He’s running over.

10:17–I feel like she’s doing a better job connecting with the questioners in the place.

10:17–Also next time I’m actually going to time every single response to see who is going over.

10:19–But they ARE deplorables. That’s the problem. They really are. I mean, I’m sorry that they feel upset because she said that what they are makes them deplorable, but it really does.

10:20–Fast correction: She said “some” of them were irredeemable.

10:21–No, that IS what he said. Sex tape.

10:21–Cooper keeps desperately trying to get him to answer a single dámņëd question.

10:27–No, he did NOT die recently, you idiot. It wasn’t recent at all. That’s the point.

10:27–Please, SOMEONE ask him how specifically Clinton has been attacking the 2nd Amendment.

10:28–And she flat out said she wasn’t against it. Not that his base will believe her, of course.

10:31–And then the Lollipop guild will come in to help.

10:31–By startling coincidence, he cites several of the swing states to praise.

10:32–So far this debate isn’t even close. Not only has she seemed far more presidential, but her answers were quite simply better, more detailed and more knowledgeable than his.

10:34–Ooooooo…

10:34–My God, what a BRILLIANT answer. That is the SINGLE best answer to a question I’ve heard tonight.

10:35–His response isn’t bad either.

10:37–Who would have thought this screw fest would end on a positive note.

  1. He lies. His tax accountant has said that he didn’t know much of anything about the tax code when he took that loss…

  2. She’s had 30 yrs, why hasn’t she done anything about these issues?
    She tried. Remember the original Bill Clinton health care promise?
    GOP shut them down hard for 8 yrs on that.

  4. He demonstrates that either he doesn’t know how our government works – or that he figures his base don’t.

    1. Sounds like he needs a refresher course. There used to be an excellent series of supplementary educational videos that taught and/or reinforced basics in several subjects in a wonderfully entertaining manner, complete with music and animated visuals.¹

      I recommend several installments of this series for Drumpf and his followers. For this particular debate, I recommend the installment known as “I’m Just a Bill.”

      ______________________________________
      ¹ Yes, I’m talking about Schoolhouse Rock.

  6. Is anyone taking a shot every time Trump says something is a disaster? If so, how many have already passed out?

  7. Trump’s performance starting around 9:25 in a nutshell-
    .
    I can lie faster than you can factcheck, the rules don’t apply to me, and if you try to act like they do I’ll whine about it.

  9. * Sniff * YES!! Finally, pointing out that you can’t just wave a wand and change whatever you want when the Republicans control the Congress and/or the Presidency.

    1. The two hours is probably including followups.
      .
      ===========
      .
      “ISIS has lots of their oil” – NO.

  12. Someone asked a good question about politicians needing to be two-faced…Harvey Dent for President!

  13. Oh, I hope Hillary addresses the 1.7m/1.5b “Iran deal” which was money we owed Iran for a weapons deal which never finished, therefore the World Court determined we owed them the money we received with interest.

  14. Shut off his dámņëd mike.
    .
    Moderator gets a laugh by emphasising she’s repeating the question (to make sure he knows what it is?).
    .
    Trump swings to ISIS again; avoids the Aleppo question.

    1. Yes…
      Admiral Piett
      General Chang
      Grand Moff Tarkin
      Grand Admiral Thrawn
      Admiral Cartwright

      Although in all fairness, the last two are on the fence.

  17. Patton and Dugout Doug?
    .
    Definitely the wrong generals to cite in a situation like this.
    .
    The cowboy and the political general…

  20. For the record, no, she didn’t go over. Two minutes.

    He figures his base can’t tell time.

  22. If you’re keeping track of his interruptions, Peter, will you count just one per question … or will you count every time he keeps talking aft he’s warned?

  25. Does Trump understand that a President is not a King or a dictator? I mean, he doesn’t seem to understand that a Jr. Senator from New York cannot make laws happen single-handedly, and his “When I’m President…” remarks seem to indicate that he thinks he can just demand something to be done and so it shall be.

  26. And she was right.
    .
    And she regrets saying “half” were deplorable – but she’s careful to not explain that it’s rather more than half.

  31. Trump flings insults at minorities, women, and his opponents, his supporters say “Oh, he’s just speaking his mind! How refreshing!”

    Hillary insults Trump supporters, they scream “That’s un-presidential behavior! How dare she! She should apologize!!”

    I swear, nothing like an election year to cause my allergy to hypocrisy to flare up big-time…

  36. * SNIFF * Who gives a rat’s ášš about how much money he’s raised/spent? It’s a question about the frakking Supreme Court

  38. “It’s such a great question because it lets me trot out the lies i’ve already memorised.”
    .
    ================
    .
    “I’m all for wind and solar, as long as they don’t spoil the view for my golf course.”
    .
    =============
    .
    “I’ll deregulate the energy companies so we can all die even more quickly.”

  40. * SNIFF * Anybody else have an image of Chinese steel I-beams dropping from the sky on poor steelworkers?

  42. Hillary respects him for having capable children.
    .
    But nothing else … nothing about him personally.
    .
    ==========
    .
    “…especially my sexy daughter Ivanka.”
    .
    Oooo – can we hear the butter not melting in his mouth?

  44. And the RNC is even now putting out a hundred-page off-the-cuff analysis of how Trump won.

  46. To quote you at a number of Dragoncon costume contests “What the Hëll Was That?”

  47. Peter, thank you very much for the live blogging. I had a blast, best time I’ve had watching a debate.

      1. As I said on Facebook: FÙÇKŸÊSFÙÇKŸÊSFÙÇKŸÊS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER! RUN THROUGH THE STREETS! LET THIS DAY BE FOREVER REMEMBERED! IT’S FINALLY OVE…wait there’s one more of these fûçkìņg things? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. But I thought Donald said Hilary was a liar???? 😉

        You are confusing the hëll out of the blind, Flavor-Aid swilling followers with facts, that’s not nice, their tiny heads might explode…

  49. Re: Canadian Health Care

    Yes, people come down to the U.S. for many procedures. I’m not sure of the statistics; I’d guess it’s a significant number, but not a tremendous number. The majority is probably people coming down for medical scans that you’d otherwise have to wait months for – not generally life-threatening, but anxiety-inducing waits. The system’s quite capable of dealing with emergency and life-threatening situations. The challenges tend to be with waiting lists for everything else.

  50. PAD: “Man, we’ve come a long way from the Lincoln Douglas debate.”

    Odd… I don’t remember seeing you there.
