3 days left.

Mark Cuban (Hillary supporter) was given a front row seat at the debate, haha

Cruz sells himself and his family out, whatever principles he had left and endorses Trump.

"I'm not in the habit of supporting people that attack my wife and my father?"

Weak, very weak (Trump tone). Not sure what he was thinking. Bowing down to Priebus?, thinking about the Trump vote for next election? some his supporters aren't happy at all, his FB wall:

Its amazing how this thread shows the real life politics.

Like in real life, trump voters here just post memes and untrue facts while the Hillary supporters only post true facts, no sh*tty memes or sh*t Breitbart says.

Maybe we are just posting political images and really don't care either way.

I think you have just summed up real life politics, though maybe not the way you intended. (Fill in the blank) supporters just post memes and untrue facts while the (fill in the blank) supporters only post true facts.

Which is why it's rather pointless to engage in discussion here (or most anywhere) on politics.

The US Presidential Race is simply too long IMO. It's been going on for almost a year and a half and still has 2 months to go. TOO LONG. We've already discussed so much in this thread, since the start of the campaign, so it's not surprising that there is political fatigue setting in at this point. The debates may liven things up. We shall see.

Lol! And Drumpf and supporters call everyone else every nasty name in the book and throw around false accusations, yet he whines like a spoiled 2 year old when anyone contradicts (or heaven forbid, fact checks) him. Press writes something uncomplimentary? Ban them from covering your campaign.

And it's fine to call someone a "fat pig", mock the handicapped, accuse all Mexicans of being criminals and rapists, but get all bent out of shape when someone suggests this is "deplorable?" (After thousands had to look it up to see what that means)
Butt hurt indeed. Whiners.

Fact of the day:
Trump university had been rated a D by the BBB before it went under. A business can easily maintain an A rating even with a few complaints. You need a LOT of angry customers to earn a D. Where's the investigation into this scam. Oh right, they were paid off.

But that's a "successful businessman"... Along with the failed ventures, bankruptcies, bailout by daddy. Save your own skin, screw your customers and employees. Yep, that would be a great way to run a country.

Lying, cheating Donald...

I'd like to ask an important question that seems to be overlooked.
Suppose for a minute Trump is elected.
How is he going to avoid the countless conflicts of interest ? Even if he resigned from all positions currently in his empire he would still have a lot influence.
Do we want an oligarch in the White House ?

Perhaps it's the reason why he's so extremists and always pointing fingers at opponents, so that people focus on his personality, his attitude instead of digging into his less than rosy history as a businessman. It's a smokescreen to divert attention from his business interests.

Of course bigwig politicians all have business interests. But not as deep as Trump.
Is he going to run the US like one of his enterprises ?

You also can't spend money from your charitable organization unless you put it to charitable use. You can't use it to benefit your business ... like the painting of himself he bought for 10K with a check from his foundation. It's currently hanging in the Trump Doral golf resort. Photo was on TripAdvisor.

In tax law, that's called "self dealing." Or in layman's terms, a "slush fund."

Interesting that when asked a question he always answers with an ad hominem attack on his opponents. And his accusations are turning out to be things he himself is guilty of doing. Lying, cheating Donald.

BTW, did you know his father died of alzheimers / dementia? If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever. His father was diagnosed in his 80's, but have to wonder if some of the crazy stuff he says and the repeated denials that he ever said some of those things are early signals of the disease...

He also had a brother who died from complications of alcoholism - it runs in families.. He claims he doesn't drink. Lots of alcoholics claim they don't drink. Also look up the term "dry drunk." Just something to consider, while examining possible health issues of the candidates.

Talking of the candidate's health, I wonder what will happen if Hillary gets a coughing spell or get dizzy, during the debates. Will they stop for a cough break?

Trump looks a lot healthier than Hillary. Not only is he doing a lot more rallies nation wide, but has also made tons of press conferences and appeared a lot more often on all the main Liberal Media answering questions to reporters who don't like him and allways defend Hillary. She will never go to a conservative media to answer questions. She's just too chicken for that.

I may live on the other side of the pond, but I see how the Liberal media treats Trump when compared to Hillary, who hardly has to answer any tough questions, because the media is on her side. I see how CNN programs like Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon to name a few, will have so-called expert panels talking about daily political events, or should I say, on something they can pick to put Trump down. Problem is that these panels consisting of 6 or 8 panelists will never have more than 1 or 2 people defending Trump. Very, very biased.

It's a long campaign (too long) and it can take it's toll on older candidates. Hillary looks like she's been affected health wise by this long campaign. Hope she gets well so I can see Trump whip her a$$, fair and square.

Talking of debates, I don't see the point of having candidates standing for 90 minutes, while the moderators usually sit on their a$$es. Under the present circumstances, a stool or chair would be helpful to Hillary during the debates.

Trump looks healthier???? I guess if you call overweight, red and bloaty looking "healthy"...

 

[JB Lions]

Yeah, Trump is 236 pounds at 70. That's not good.

Having said that, I think they're both probably healthy enough to last a term. I see no signs of dementia, since my dad passed away from that. Ex-gf noticed first signs. You see them pausing during talking, repeating stuff, short term memory issues, speech issues is the first thing you'll notice. And it takes you apart over years ending up in diapers, dangerous paranoia, not being able to feed yourself, falling down etc.

I do think maybe we should look at putting some age limit on this. The full retirement age is now 66. Trump is 70, Clinton is 68. Too damn old to begin one of the most stressful jobs out there. Starting a job like this past retirement age just doesn't make much sense to me. I think 40-60 is a nice range. Have some life experience, with some life left. They should be relaxing, spending time with their grandkids and such.

Media, I'm not sure people actually watch CNN. I flip around to get different perspectives but mostly CNN and they usually have people representing both camps. I always see Trump supporters on the shows I watch. I think they've been going easy on Trump, I think his whining does affect them a bit. They ask a question, he dodges, they move on, instead of sticking with it and getting some real answers. Of course it's going to look like they're going after Trump more, simply because there is more to go after. He lies more, says more dumb shit, has more fraud and business problems etc.

Figure Donald wouldn't be happy with what I posted yesterday, about Cuban having a first row seat:

Donald Trump unleashes on 'dopey' Mark Cuban, threatens to seat ex-Bill Clinton mistress next to him at debate

2 more days. I liked what they did in one of the Republican debates, had video or slides up with them saying some stuff, hard to dodge that on live TV. They need to hold their feet to the fire.
