The presidential debate

well she used BleachBit which destroyed the emails. i think it's entirely reasonable to assume she wasn't scrubbing personal emails, but rather classified data. im waiting for the october surprise of the russians releasing her emails that they've had all along

but be that as it may, she did perform better and was able to easily bait trump. however, as i noted, she didn't show herself as really better. she said some lame catch phrases and that opening of "how are you, donald?" shows how much of a pod person she is. she won the debate, but just because she was able to knock TRUMP offbalance, not because she was explaining why she would be a good president. but, tbf, no one cares about that these days

250 years. it was a good run guys

Despite the fact that he's a Cowboys fan, NAB is a fairminded, high character individual. I find it laughable that a slobbish little troll with a history of disrespecting women like Dylan would attempt such a character assassination.

As to the larger issue of why Clinton can't appeal to intelligent people despite the fact that Trump is her opponent, I most blame those around her. As the principal in this operation, she shouldn't be the one who has to figure out how to appeal to normies. Her campaign advisers should have figured that out, and they've not done a good job. They don't seem to get that people who are on the fence don't want to hear how wonderful and hisotrically great Hillary is. If they were going to fall for such rhetoric, they'd probably have already been wooed by the carnival barker from the other side of the aisle. The Clinton campaign has really lacked any fundamental lesson all along, and since Trump won the GOP nomination, they've relied on "But Trump sucks" as their general election message. Yes, it's compelling enough to probably win, but don't expect people to have enthusiastically positive feelings about Clinton with that as your strategy.

Did anyone hope that she would stroke-out on live TV like I had hoped for. I envisioned a frothy yellow sputum gargled out with her eyes rolling back in her head as she plummeted back onto the stage. Then The Donald would tear off his jacket to place under her convulsing head yelling, "Is there a doctor in the house!" just as some Secret Service guys knocked him out of the way and whisked the still convulsing candidate backstage to the waiting handicapped accessible black van.

The real upside would have been the ball-busting of T. S. Dylan this morning though.
