I'm watching on here: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/09/politics/debate-live-stream-blog/
CNN are probably delighted. This will further increase ratings for an already hotly anticipated debate.
You've caught us at a bit of a bad time.Y'all accepting naturalization applications across the pond?
Cheers for this, the account is incredible.
I know he's a scumbag, but it was arguably a good move (or at least, his only available move). He's trying to shift and neutralize the discourse over his own sexual misconduct by reminding Hillary that he has women in the audience who claim her husband abused them (rape, in one case). And there doesn't even need to be any veracity to the claims, the job is already done.
A bullying tactic and real knuckle dragging stuff, but I can see why he did it.
I still don't think it's enough for him. The last throes of a desperate man.

I'm rewatching Ran as a warm-up to this.
Not too undermine the women making the claims...but I find the fact they are all completely and utterly willing to appear onstage alongside Trump, someone who has made such demeaning remarks about women and who may have done the same, a bit suspect to say the least. Really, really ugly approach.
Definitely. It's bizarre, and I wonder what sort of demographic calculus they used to justify it (if any).The "I'm a scumbag but so is Bill Clinton" approach won't work. He needs to gain votes not lose them, which he almost certainly will after this.
I agree, but I don't think Trump gives a feck if any of this is true. It just serves his motive.The difference is that Clinton is only commenting on stuff Trump's done...not shit like this. The fact that these women 'claim' Bill has done this (irrespective of how true they are), and if it's false then it's just scummy, scummy shit beyond belief.
I didn't know about all of these allegations of sexual crimes until recently, how many of them do you suspect to be true?
And if her opponent were other than Trump, would this these or the paedophile case be important to you?
Not sure if satire or cutting it too close to reality

But aside from the 12 year old who was raped, all the other women are there because of things Bill Clinton did and if anything that will surely only gain Hillary support because I feel extremely sorry for her. He's bullying her, flat out being a complete cnut to her. I surely can't be alone in thinking that?
I feel sorry for their kid Chelsea too. I mean, I don't know much about her and maybe she's a bit of an arsehole herself, but seeing this sort of stuff being brought up against your dad on live, national news must be really, really hard to deal with. Just shite, shite behaviour all round from a man who's doing it for his own political advantage and nothing else.
This is very true. They can plead ignorance all they want, tonight is the culmination of a journey they started on a long time ago.
Yeah she is frustrating, going off on one on the statement about it being a stunt. It is a fecking stunt. The other woman has got it spot on.Christ this woman on CNN is just vile.
You've caught us at a bit of a bad time.
I think that's completely it. The women have their agenda, Trump has his. They endorse him, he lets them get their message across to maximum exposure.I don't know...maybe they're just desperate for a platform to venerate their anger against Bill, and Trump's given them that
Yup, I agree 100%
One thing for sure is that Chelsea and Ivanka wont be going round each others houses at Christmas anymore.
