Jut what can you say in the face of this? And Hillary is the hawk, apparently...

"Remember when we were young and we were studying history, and they talk about some of the great generals, and the great attacks? ... Wouldn’t it be nice if we attacked first, and talked about our great victory later?" the GOP nominee added.

"It's a very, very sad thing. We are being run by people that are incompetent."

Maybe. The pollsters were miles off in the last two UK elections and the EU referendum. So Ill take what they say about this one with a pinch of salt.

The Brexit referendum outcome didn't surprise me the slightest. Each and every poll immediately before referendum day showed that it was extremely tight and indicated a 2-3% margin of error. Also, they showed that many British voters (15-20% AFAIR) were still undecided yet claimed immigration is their biggest concern.

Regarding UK elections, I remember that polls were quite off but wasn't this explained because the polls always showed the popular vote and not as it should be done to get a more realistic prediction the electoral vote?
 
Ok, so I'm a bit slow to catch up, I knew this coming debate was a Town Hall style debate, however, I thought the audience would be asking the questions, but I've just found out that EVERYONE can have a say, as the questions will be asked from https://presidentialopenquestions.com/ and the most popular questions from each section will be asked to each candidate. Also, everyone can vote up which questions they feel need to be asked and which are the most important to them.

What an absolutely great idea. This was everyone can feel as if they have been involved in some way or another. I hope this works well and catches on, as so far it seems like a brilliant idea.

Looking at the most voted ones right now, I would imagine they will delve into them.

Would you support requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales?

My son was murdered by someone who should have never had a gun. Gaps in our current system make it easy for felons & other dangerous people to buy guns online & at gun shows, no questions asked.

How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?

Too much crime is blamed on the tool, not the person. How will you protect law abiding citizens to protect themselves.

Do you support expanding, and not cutting, Social Security's modest benefits?

We can easily afford to protect & expand Social Security by requiring the wealthiest Americans to contribute at the same rate as the rest of us.

Grrrrrrrrr! Makes me so angry. He's been like it and allowed to get away with being such a cnut all his life. You can hear the "oh, oh really" disinterested and arrogant and disgusting reply from him when someone tells him something he doesn't like and obviously doesn't want to hear.

The fact that it's now made it to Twitter means this will surely be used to smash him. All you need to do is have patience :)
 
Three questions to the American users of this forum:

  1. How does early voting actually work in th US and how is it different from mail voting? Does early voting require personal attendance at a polling station or alike?
  2. Is it cumbersome to vote by mail? Otherwise I wouldn't understand why those who cannot afford to take off from work wouldn't vote by mail.
  3. Has there ever been a serious debate among Amercian voters about the process the candidates are selected, or, to be more precise: Has there ever been a serious challenge about the current status that candidates must fund their campaigns mainly on their own? It seems to me as if this leads to inevitable influence of donors on future policies once the candidate is elected president.

Thanks!
 
When Republican Donald Trump arrives at Washington University Sunday to debate Democrat Hillary Clinton, he won’t have the formal backing of the campus’s largest Republican student group.

“We are afraid of Trump, too,” reads a sign that College Republicans have displayed on campus and will put up again at an event before the debate Sunday.

He's made so many individually disqualifying remarks, it's insane.
 




If this piece of horse manure gets more of the black vote than Mitt Romney, I'm officially done with America.

Google Central Park 5 if you haven't heard of them.

No bloody way. I'd heard a bit about his point of view on it, but has he said it again today?? How did the reporter not call him a racist there and then.

Edit: I like what someone said in the tweets after it: "So we're going to elect a president who doesn't believe in DNA evidence?"
 


:lol:

If Trump wants to become president he has been hilariously wrong with his campaign so far. Yelling crap like he does might make you the #1 Republican candidate but it won't make you US president. And he's not a dumb guy. I genuinely fail to understand his rationale behind his campaign.

With each passing day, and revelation after revelation, I believe this less and less. He's a trust fund kid who at every turn has lost the money his father gave him. His kids seem to have caught a break in that he will likely die before squandering it all.

I guess the rationale is narcissism in a very severe form. Add to that adult ADHS and BPD - et voilà: Trump's disease.
