Did your mind really focus on that and filter out all of the other good stuff?

No wonder you're so angry at the status quo:

R: "Make America great again!"

D: "Errr, we just have done...?"

Can we cool it with all the nastiness please?

I watched it. No big wins by either. I have been watching the Sky Atlantic programme, basically they say that the head-to-heads can't win it, but they can lose it for the candidate. The two talking heads know what they are on about, they've been behind the scenes on both sides for decades. They went into the pre-debate prep work that Bush had against Gore, it was all really rather good.

Agree with the "no big wins for either"

I think Trump struggled because maybe he couldn't just "lie big" because he'd be challenged or fact checked?

The stuff about "not saying things because of his respect for Chelsea Clinton" was a sign of him realising he might need to be vile again if he's going to win.

Chelsea, you had so much potential, yet delivered so little.

I have come to the conclusion that it's best if I unsubscribe to this thread and never click on it again, such is the sycophantic dirge coming from the likes on Unrep.

It's just plain weird!

I find it funny, I'd love Trump to win for the laugh of it all and just a complete change from the usual political bullst.
If he doesn't win,oh well,Im sure within 7 minutes I'll get over it unlike unrepentant and others over on the brexit thread who seem to have this inability to shrug their shoulders and get on with life.

IMO the main upside of Hillary winning is similar to the upside if Labour had won in 2010 - they would have had to clear up the mess they created. Currently the democrats are selling a monumental bubble as some kind of real recovery and success story.

US consumer confidence is at the highest level since August 2007, a year before the great crash and 17 months before Bush left office.

Can you not see the irony in this? Did Bush do something wrong to go from high consumer confidence in 2007 to crash in 2008? Or was the consumer confidence in 2007 misplaced?

Shock horror, he thought Trump did well. I'd never have guessed he'd say that.

But voters don’t care about facts and debating style. They care about how they feel.

He's not wrong though is he?

So Trump won because he "didn't look crazy"?

Insightful

Just seen the Twitter battle between Bush snr and Trump on Maher's show....fking hilarious!

Maher has always made me laugh and as its HBO, he can say what he likes.

BUT to have an ex Prez, from your own party, do what Bush 1 has said/done.......priceless....lol.

It was the best part of the show, I've been looking for the tweets to post here.

Really?

You both need to climb out of yourselves.

I know someone that studied at Uni with Chelsea and apparently she is a very nice, intelligent person who is extremely dedicated to her parents work but equally carries the burden (for some) that she is a Clinton.

Yes because not looking crazy is an improvement if the average undecided expects you to look crazy.

Did Clinton improve her appeal, or did undecideds see what they were expecting?

[FourWheelDrift]

She was wired though.



Or is that the radio control receiver for Clintonbot 1.1?
