Presidential Debate Number Two: I Don't Even Know What to Expect (Sunday 9 PM EST)
So It Goes
We keep moving...Registered User regular

I had another OP, it is now obsolete.
I don't even know you guys.
The debate is town hall format, Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz are hosting it. They will ask half the questions, the audience of "undecideds" will ask the other half.
Look for it on all cable (Except NBC is airing the Packers?? lol) or youtube or whatever.
You should be able to watch it anywhere, but you should watch it with us!
COME CHAT WITH US IN DISCORD: https://discord.gg/kVcAutP
Discord is a free chat/voice client. I will be moderating the chat but I will not be voice chatting tonight most likely. Come to the chat room for real time discussion and dank memes.
IN THIS THREAD
Please don't post pure reactions like "wow" or "Did he really say that" and such without providing context for your remark. Reaction posts like that are more fitting for the chat room. The thread will already be moving fast.
Likewise no tweet dumps unless you have some actual commentary to share.
Many different issues will come up during the debate, obviously, if you find yourself getting into the weeds of a policy discussion like the merits of charter schools please take it to PM or start a thread.
GROUND RULES STILL APPLY
No image macros.
No satire links.
Don't be a dick.

This is gonna be....pretty insane! I was in discord chat during the last two debates, but somehow I get the strange feeling that it's going to be zipping along at lightning speed and might stick with this thread this time around, bc it's more likely to be humanly achievable to follow.

I am so ready for this.
So there's nowhere to go but down
Probably.

1) Juanita Broaderick
2) Clinton being assigned to defend the alleged rapist of a 12 year old in court and doing her job
So that's going to be fun.
What a time to be alive.
Didn't she swear under oath that he didn't?
You can't miss this. There may never be another televised spectacle quite like this ever again.
Yep.
2) seems like sheer lunacy on Trump's part. All Hillary has to say is, "I defended that rapist because it was my job, but I'm not defending you and neither are the American people."
Literally half the bill of rights is dedicated to protecting the accused. It's appalling then that people will buy into attacks on defense attorneys for doing their job.

I mean, he somehow managed to bring it up during his "apology." I'm sure he'll find a way, no matter how tenuous the justification.
Oh yeah, I'm 99% certain he'll bring it up. It's just that there is no way to do it without looking like an absolute idiot. As I said, that won't stop him, but it really should. Then again if nothing up to this point has stopped him, I don't think anything I can think of will.
Trump: you defended a rapist
Clinton: no i defended the constitution!
Bringing that up would be fucking awful for trump because of the equivalency it creates. It would be heard (correctly) as "well I may be a sexual predator but at least im not a child molester".

Please do not litigate the whole thing in this thread, other than how Trump will attempt to use her in the debate

Drink of this comrade.

My heart was broken after that poor woman on Fox News starting crying when she was talking about Trump sexually assaulting women and bragging he could get away with it because he's famous, since it seemed like she was reliving some really painful memories as she was talking.
If Trump goes after Hillary and Bill the way I think he will, he might dredge up painful memories for any women watching.
I weep for our country, and humanity.
I've been feeling that way since Friday.
I'm not joyous or giddy or excited.
I'm sad, I'm angry, and I'm heartsick.
And I'm not sure a crushig victory in this ebate, or in a month, is going to change that.
How do I look my daughter in the eyes and tell her that Mommy's neihbours back in the states thinks it's ok for a famous man to sexually assault her?
How does anybody?
So yeah, feeling very ill.

If it helps, your neighbors abroad probably feel the same way at similar rates!
Do not engage the Watermelons.
"Somebody's going to defend you, Donald. And not because they were assigned by the court."
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
If it makes you feel better, I'm guessing closer to high-30s right now.
Since she was a lock for nominee, yes. Ages ago... It was a more innocent time....
Yes start looking yours up now! Make it a good un
The first question will be about the tape, and it will go to Hillary.
tonights going to be a shitshow folks. hunker down.
"Mr. Trump, following the revelations of the past two days, a number of Republican members of Congress have retracted their endorsements of you, including [people in tight races here]. What do you have to say to them and to the American people?"
I hope they play the tape, then ask. Apparently less than half of America has actually watched/listened to it.
Look, when Michael Chertoff endorses Hillary, you ought to pretty much draw a line under the discussion. As a Republican there's not much left to do but elect Hillary and pin your hopes on Paul Ryan's ability to ride herd on the worst excesses of her Presidency.
Paul Ryan isn't going to be able to do much as the minority leader. You should probably start preparing yourself for Speaker Pelosi.
Man, don't do that to me. One thing at a time here! I'm still accommodating to a Presidential vote for a Democrat for the first time since 1992.
