The Final Debate!!!

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

OK, so who is going to be watching the final presidential debate? Its going to be on in the wee hours of the night here.

I'm not going to insult you all by pretending this is about policy anymore. Here's a quote from a CNN news article about who the nominees will be bringing as special guests to the debate:

"Donald Trump is bringing President Barack Obama's Kenyan-born half-brother, Malik, to Wednesday's third and final presidential debate, a campaign aide confirmed to CNN.

Hillary Clinton will be joined at Wednesday's debate by two well-known billionaires who are backing her campaign, in what may be an attempt to rattle Republican nominee by su btly questioning his own net worth.

Meg Whitman, the Hewlett-Packard CEO and former Republican California gubernatorial candidate, and Mark Cuban, the outspoken billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, will both be Clinton's guests at Wednesday's third and final presidential debate.

Meanwhile, Trump is countering with Obama's half-brother and a ghost from Clinton's past: Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, who has accused the former secretary of state of "murdering" her son."

I feel like this election has been one big secret reality TV show.

So, what do you guys think will happen at tonight's debate?

I'll certainly be watching it.

I think Trump will be advised to appear Presidential but he just won't be able to.

I fail to see how Trump thinks bringing Obamas half brother onto the stage has anything to do with Hilary's campaign?, it's her running for President not Obama....

The man is a buffoon

Shan't stay up to watch this one albeit I expect it to be the most colourful one of the three.

Hilary does not really have to do much other than stay statemanlike and dignified and just wait for the Trumpster to self ignite - which he more than likely will.

It was suggested that he "won" the last debate purely on account of the fact that unlike the first time, he avoided a psychotic meldown. If the pressure comes on tonight he will surely revert to type and start shooting himself in the foot time and time again.

Thus far it's 2 nil to Clinton, Trumps blame game after the last one and his weird stalking type behaviour surely will mean he has to take another tack?

Clinton has shown that whatever level he stoops to she wont get into tit for tat slanging..

if it goes her way again just who else will he blame..

this is the one where i think hillary goes in for the kill....

she played too much defense in debate 2... hillary played the high ground too much when he was seriously in trouble...

if she makes this a policy debate she will crush him.... he will try and drag her down, she will goad and goad and goad him and we will see how he reacts....

i hope the last half hour is like clinton recounting trumps greatest hits gaffes and scandals over the last 6-12 months to remind the nation what he would be like

"Apparently Donald didn't do his walk through of the debate venue. I wonder what the hell he is planning "

well apparently the trump said that something was planned... which is why the clinton camp have now said no handshakes at all pre debate... either the candidates or the families...

we will see if having Mark Cuban and Meg Whitman in the front row will put off the donald.....

because she can point at them and warren buffet and say that some properly rich people don't avoid paying their taxes.....

Its such a shame. I actually like that for the last 24 hours trump was talking about congressional and senatorial term limits and hiatus periods before politicians can become lobbyists. Both are great ideas. But instead I get the feeling that this debate is going to turn into a media shitfest of his own making.

What's this doing down here?

Anyway...

Can it be a co-incidence that the final debate takes place in a city so false, forced and fake as the candidates themselves?

She needs to lay a hurricane kick on his fat ass.

Vegas-style.

I've been fascinated by US politics since studying it a bit at uni, but can't wait for this to be over.

I was over there in the months before before Obama was elected and was taken with how much the people I hung out with knew about their political system - they weren't activists, but they debated like crazy and their knowledge of policy and positions was detailed. Better than anything I heard over here.

I came away with good evidence to disprove that lazy stereotype that all Americans are stupid (not that I believed that anyway).

Sadly, Trump has given ample ammunition to those who mock the US. Very unfortunate.

Incidentally - do any of you guys know anything about a Democrat called (Paul?) Grayson. I stumbled on him when looking at stuff on PJ O'Rourke. Very eloquent, passionate, incisive performer in the media. Just wondered if he was anywhere near the higher eschelons of the party.

Interesting to hear that Clinton "claimed" the election was "rigged" back in 2008

this was brought up after the debate, apparently she did not like the result of the vote on 2008 and claimed to election was rigged!!!

Not much in it for me... On the subject of climate change.

.

Hillary said the usual bullshit about create jobs for new high tech industries to help combat climate change because it's a "threat" , without actually any detail.

Trumper didn't even say anything about it?....I guess it's the age old adage if you ain't got nowt good to say don't say anything!.

.

Rather sad that the two potential leaders of the world's largest economy have got so little to say about it!

I think lots of people must be watching different debates.

cnn and couple other clinton biased networks had her come out on top..where as polls on fox and twitter had trump coming out on top.

my personal opinion was trump won the debate.

how can somone who should be in jail (based on facts not allegations) even be running for president anyways.

the fact shes blaming russia for everything and anything and her emails getting into wiki leaks hands when asked about her open borders policy with no proof what so ever, she is determined to end up going to war with russia.

Whilst trump openly says he wants to work with russia to rid isis and inprove overall relations means regardless of local policys trump should win the election for that reason alone.

its not only america that will suffer if hillary wins...its the whole world.

And im sick to death of wars and our western goverments meddling in the middle east.

Which created most of the terrorists we have today.

trump for change (may be change for the better or may not)

Hillary for more wars and potentially ww3

only one person should be elected in my eyes.

I guess we will see soon enough.

That is a completely biased _iew not only of the debate, but of the election in general.

CNN/ORC ran a poll of people who watched the debate and Clinton won by a 13 point margin. 13 points. That isn't insignificant. And we can sit here and argue perception all day, but it's all meaningless without number because we would each just say that our candidates won. When presented with numbers, I hear the same cry that Donald's supporters have made their oath - that it's all rigged by the mainstream media. How ridiculous. CNN is not a Clinton organization and ORC certainly isn't. According to people who watched the debate, Clinton won. We can wait and see what other polls say as well.

Did Donald have a strong performance? My answer to that is that he had a stronger performance than he did in his other two debates, but that isn't saying much to be honest. He simply isn't a good debater. He is good at soundbites but when it comes to substantive policy, he lacks knowledge and experience. And I don't expect him to have that knowledge and experience, because he is a businessman, not a politician. It's also why he shouldn't be president.

As for your arguments against Clinton and in favor of Trump, they are based on no evidence that I can find. Trump is more of a hawk than Clinton is, and that takes a lot of effort. She isn't my first choice by a long shot, but she wins hands down over Trump.

But as to who won the debate, I say look to the polls.

I have a vote in this election, and it's going to Hillary.

we shall have to agree to disagree.

ive watch a fair bit of cnn and their reporting has been all biased towards hillary and against trump so that 13 point lead from cnn polls can be taken with a pinch of salt and as for no evidance about hillary not liking russia and more likely to end up in a conflict with them, shes been part of the goverment thats been putting missile systems all around russias borders and in the last month alone is blaming russia for pretty much everything she can.

trump has opening said he will build relations with russia.

these are facts.

She discussed top classified information in her emails with people she shouldnt.

pretty sure bradly manning is in jail for that.

edward snowdon had to leave the country for fear of prison for exposing govements classified information.

so tell me why shouldnt hillary be in prison for doing the same thing?

I don't like how hawkish Clinton is. I protested against her in NYC when she voted for the Iraq war. A war that Trump was in favor of, I'll remind you. But Russia isn't the only military issue here. Trump has stated time and again that he would act more aggresively towards China, Mexico, the middle east, etc. He says whatever he thinks will get angry Americans on his side at any given moment. He just doesn't have clear plans the same way Clinton does (because we don't want to tell them our strategy, of course...sure), so it's harder to pin him down on his militancy. But militant he most certainly is.

As for the emails, Hillary shouldn't have used a personal email server. That's true. An investigation into the matter by the FBI has shown that she did not act criminally. The FBI said that the practices she was engaged in were commonplace among government officials and that government departments needed to alter how they address these issues.

Tell me something....why isn't Trump in jail for his alleged rape of his first wife? Oh, right, because he paid her off and made her sign a nondisclosure agreement. How about when he was charged with sexually assaulting that other woman 20 years ago? Right, he paid her off as well. How about when he didn't pay that builder who worked on one of his trump properties? Sorry, trump burried him in legal battles, I almost forgot. The list is endless. Trump talking about putting Hillary in jail for criminal misconduct is almost as hypocritical as him berating Bill Clinton for his sexual misconduct.

Anyways I think we can both agree that the 2 candidates up there America deserves.

I am watching this on BBC iPlayer.

It reminds me of what Jeremy Paxman revealed in his recent documentary.

But most of all it reminds of that short inter_iew with Mr Springsteen yesterday. He summed up Trump and his supporters perfectly in less than 60 seconds.

Trump's appeal to the voters lies in the fact that he appears to offer simple solutions to what are in fact very complex questions with no simple solution.

I am no fan of Hilary but she does at least have some intelligence (though not necessarily honesty or integrity). Trump is a bigoted eejit.

The way I see it and I'm sure some of our friends from across the pond who know more about such things will correct if necessary is that Trump in the last week or so has already accepted in his own mind that he is going to lose..

and with the guys massive ego then such a result will be humiliating to the point he is setting the narrative of the election was rigged, the media were complicit and he may or may not accept the result..

all of which will only serve to make some already angry Trump voter's more so..

I get that there are many people over there frustrated and sick of how they see the system is treating them, certainly is the same here..

its almost like he wants some sort of reaction on the streets from his core support after the 8th of Nov given some of his rhetoric during the campaign thus far..?

I sincerely hope not and that he if he does lose accepts it which has always been the case in presidential elections but it must be a worry for some in America too that a loss for him, especially a clear defeat may have consequences..

i'll admit donald had his best half hour in a debate so far.... the first 30 were actually fairly substantive.... the problem for trump is that clinton had a really good 90 minutes....

the last 60 minutes was all one way traffic....

it weird that trump always brings up clinton's stamina or lack thereof.... but if you watch all 3 debates its trump that tails off rather badly

there were bits where trump could have hit hard... but she rattled him big time, and he let those chances slip... plus once again donald put his foot in his mouth again!!!!

she was prepared for wikileaks, she was prepared for the clinton foundation, she was prepared for when trump went to try and use bernie sanders against her!!!

the best part of the clinton message last night is that it was all based at a group that have been going further and further away from donald.... it happens to be women....

that was almost a masterclass in making trump look bad with women.... and then the question about being fit to lead... she hit the trump "greatest hits" of gaffes and alienating people thru this entire campaign to remind people of all this stuff he has been saying for the last 12-18 months

if we are saying trump had a B- night (his best of the campaign).... then clinton had an A- night

the other person who has a really good night.... take a bow Chris Wallace.... fantastic moderating, came after both of them and hard! and also did a great job of on the fly factchecking as well!!!

obviously his employers at FOX News will hate him after this, and that he was hard on Trump and for not bailing donald out on the "will you accept the result of the election" question... but his rep will have gone up 10-fold after this!

Agreed. Some of the best moderating I've seen in the past 3 elections cycles.

The Fox News employers will be in a quandary about chris Wallace.

He has enhanced their rather appalling standing in the media with his excellent performance so they should now get the gig every election now.

I'm not sure even Nigel and Donald would agree with you on that.

And there are a lot of similarities in what they say

Tump - America first

Farage - Britain first

Trump - Make America great again

Farage - Put the great back in Great Britain

Trump - NAFTA is allowing American jobs to be exported to Mexico

Farage - The EU is allowing British jobs to be exported to Eastern Europe.

Trump - Immigrants are undercutting Americans for jobs

Farage - EU migrants are undercutting British people in the jobs market.

And many more. They both also even sing the praises of Putin (AKA - Uncle Dobby, Vlad the Dictator)

Apart from Nigel not looking any where near as crazy as Donald, there is hardly a hair's breath between them.

Just because a TV station has a bias it doesn't mean it's always biased. Try watching RT, it's often bias towards the Russian outlook but also has some quite good unbiased programs on.

Nothing wrong with Trump, im staying at his hotel in Turnberry next week, will be nice to see how much of a difference he has made as it was previously a bit of a dump.

He may make a good difference to the usa aswell once he is voted in by 50 or 60 million

And this sort off proves my point. It seems to me that it must be more than just coincidence that Brexit supporters also seem to like Trump. Maybe that's because they say pretty much the same thing.

Some of those points are both valid and accurate.... Not that I'm saying building a wall is a great idea but there's nothing wrong with securing the border.

Personally I wouldn't build the wall I'd just very very very firmly regulate against employing illegal immigrants.... Job done or mission accomplished as the yanks would prefer

There should be one regulation.

Have you got a job?

If not you must go home.

That is the only regulation you need.

And it is ANY job. Not just so called highly qualified people we are short of.

Immigrations is good at all levels, for a country as a whole.

There can be issues, but they can be tackled with proper planning. The answer is not to keep people out.

Regarding EU migrants, the vast majority of them work, that's a fact echoed by the government, many have more than one job as they have a goal to work hard and earn well.

There are relatively very few EU migrants of retirement age coming to Britain as well, so they are as a whole less likely to use NHS services compared to British citizens.

Many of our work shy are being shown up for what they are....lazy bastards who blame migrants for taking the jobs that they themselves would never undertake.

We as a nation need to face up to some harsh facts, we have an element amongst us that just refuse to undertake any work, they are often in families where two or three generations are work shy.

But it's so much easier to blame outsiders, is it because we are too ashamed to point fingers at the real problem element?

How did this get twisted round into yet another brexit thread? Post on one of the other 100 that are currently running.

The topic is the us presidential debate.

Yes, I have been watching them!! They've been great. Alec Baldwin is a great Trump.

I always take it as a sign, though. The better the comedy around an election cycle, the worse the candidates.

Good point re the thread going off track, so I would just like to say that Fabio and Courtney are fantastic posters and make excellent, interesting and informative contributions to this forum and I am quite sure to this country as a whole.

The are the best argument against those who are anti immigrant that I can see.

If only they wanted a fille sandwich, they would be perfect.

thank you..... and now you are going to see a lot of states that weren't in play suddenly "in play".... and that is what this close into what could be a rout...

for trump to win he had to do well in for example... "big 10" country (pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, iowa, wisconsin, minnesota,) the "mountain west (colorado, nevada, new mexico) florida, the far north east (maine and new hampshire) and the mid atlantic (virginia and north carolina)

the problem is other than being up in iowa and ohio... he is way behind in all the others...

and because trump has been a nightmere you are seeing "red states" that should be nowhere near being in play that are...

so clinton is on the attack in places like arizona, georgia, indiana, missouri, nebraska!!! even in texas he is only up 3... in utah the mormons have fled for the 3rd party candidate, in alaska trump is only up 1!!!!

you could be looking at clinton getting up to 400 electorial votes... which is rarely done

There is still quite a way to go though and the debates are over.

The debates were where Trump showed himself up in front of the whole world. That not only lost him swing voters and undecideds it meant republicans were forced to publicly criticise their man.

Now the campaign managers can manage their candidate who may just listen given his dire drop in the polls.

Meanwhile, wickileaks could drop drip drip.

As this election seems to be about choosing the least bad option I don't think we should count our chickens yet. Trump is could at capitalising on any momentum.

I feel soiled thinking it, but the dirty tricks expertise of the Clinton machine is possibly a necessary evil.
