Trump vs Clinton Round 3. Probably the biggest debate ever.

Doesn't the term "political theater" seem relevant in this debacle?

It has been very hard to discuss policies when Trump is involved and made a key of his campaign to insult and accuse his opponents of everything and anything he can think of (largely untrue).
And when his policies are incredibly vague.
Even Obama would have found it difficult to campaign on policy with him.

I just wish that they'd all stop behaving like 5 year olds in a the playground! This is not a game of oneupmanship....it's about the serious matter of governing the most powerful nation in our world. They need to tell, everyone exactly how they're going to achieve the targets of prosperity, and more importantly peace!
And before any US citizen says, 'you're a Brit, keep your opinions to yourselves!' I am a world citizen, and as such, have a vested interest in how America votes!

This thread is nearly full, so I've started a shiny new one for when we are ready :)
shiny new thread

Yes but DT wouldn't see the irony in that. He is a sore loser and vindictive.

The stories go back at least from May. Much earlier than his tape.

Anyway, isn't Hillary accused of going after the women go accused Bill?

Oh, the irony.

Just because we are saying how crap we think Trump is, that doesn't make us all into Hillary supporters. What we are saying is that Trump is crappier

This with knobs on.

I've been away but did watch the whole third debate next morning. DT really didn't equip himself well.

He's vowed to go after all the women who have come forward to back up his lewd comments. Very presidential.

Lweji

there are posters on this thread who think in very black and white terms.

Just because we are saying how crap we think Trump is, that doesn't make us all into Hillary supporters. What we are saying is that Trump is crappier.

I know she embellished the story. That was not the point...

Anyway, for a much better debate than the original:

"the best Baldwin brother"
And lovely Tom.

Lweji - She herself embellished the story. I remember some years later watching a split screen - the actual footage of the airbase showing her disembarking and then speaking with military, and her excited account after that visit of flying bullets, running for cover. I wondered at the time how she thought she would get away with such a porkie.

That comment about Hillary's story about the airbase is interesting. That was a story that was embellished. Probably for effect.

But you have another candidate who says he never said or did things that are on video and on written media. Many things. Almost for every subject.
He keeps spinning those lies and insist on them with no hesitation or qualms. He screams his lies from rooftops.
How do you interpret that behaviour? How do you view that candidate?

A candidate that on fact checks was the least truthful of any primary candidate, from either party?

I believe Trump has enough commonsense not to try to overturn abortion rights. It would be his undoing, and anyway Senate will not allow it.

He doesn't have to do it through the Senate. He will achieve it by appointing right wing judges.

By definition, populism = fighting against the establishment conspiracy. So when the populists don't win, that proves that the conspiracy exists. Populists win no matter what.

Most of the UKIP politicians are for Hillary

If that is so, then they have no business being in UKIP.

She has 30 yrs of political experience on Trump and that is what is swaying some people. She has a great public persona imo; speaks well, knows which facial expression does not go down well on close-up, is always aware of where the camera is and knows how to control those 'tells'.

But I always remember her speaking about her experience 20 yrs ago on landing in Bosnia somewhere, and she and her daughter having to run for cover and dodging flying bullets. She told that story so well and believably, but it turned out to be a load of codswallop.

If you look at how she tells that story, I cannot see any tell-tale anxiety or hiccups in her voice when she is spinning us a lie. What do all those people who were with her on that airbase and who later heard her embellishing think of her?

Apparently the USA polls are far more accurate than UK's, better predictors.

I'm VERY surprised that LBC radio is pro-Hilllllary, even the so-called right wingers such as Ferrari. Apparently all presenters are for her except one! Wonder what happened there .......

cut the billions that the US contributes to the UN Climate Fund and America will clean up its own environment with that money

Yes, because contributing a country's money to a fund dedicated to something is never effective. If you want something doing, do it yourself.
