Armchair critic
So how do you think your boy did.

Hey LEFTY ONE,
Not as well as I hoped honestly.
I think Hillary was well prepared and handled the debate better than was expected.
Trump seemed flustered and on the verge of losing his cool at some points.

HI AC,

Yes, given that Drumpf is mainly piss and wind, all Hilary has to do is keep needling him. Maybe plant a couple of his TV-couch bimbos in the first row at the next debate. Ask more about how it felt for a 'man of the ordinary people, the battlers, etc.' to start off with his couple of hundred mill, whether like his father, he was a rack-renter, how his current bankruptcy deals are going, where Aleppo is, how he would blunder into the Middle East and finish off ISIS within a month, and then leave. She should laugh at him a bit more, work the crowd more, give answers as close as possible to what the journos want and be very polite to them. Exploit his every slip. The man's a moron, after all. But of course, he's your moron.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi LM & AC
Now LM is being a bit hard on Mr Trump I think. First that crack about Aleppo was Johnson who was a bit geographically challenged not Trump.Also he was very on message and did not have any oops moments.LM you of all people must be aware that HRH will be(apart from 'W) the most hawkish go get em presidents in recent history.

I mean any nation that has any resources that the dying empire wants had better be prepared for the aircraft carrier off the coast as the multi nationals arrive to dig it up, or cut it down.
So before LM gets to self congratulatory as the world watchs Mr Trump breath even louder thru his nose, LM should be very careful what he wishes for as the times will get a whole lot more interesting as the old chines proverb says.

On the other hand should he be successful you will see the star spangled nightmare reach its Waterloo a whole lot quicker.

So gentleman start preparing for the worst so you will be a few yards ahead of the herd as it heads for the hills.

Hey Chris,
Honestly I can't really argue with what Joe said. Fair's fair.

I do support Trump, but it's because I'm very much against Hillary.
I'm against the path America has taken in the past and Hillary has been a big part of that.
I disagree with her stances on certain issues, then there's her track record and questions regarding her honestly; and her self serving nature such as in respect of the dealings of the Clinton Foundation.
Also I think she would say and do anything to get elected, and I'm not sure she would keep her word; nor even intend to.

But I think one of Hillary's big strengths is that there can be all sorts of controversy going on around her about things she's done, but she still manages to find a way to play it all down and stand there all 'innocent-like'.

She looked well and did well today.
I'm not sure if she was wearing an earpiece though and was getting help, but she did fairly well nonetheless.
Not that she deserves all the credit for today:
Trump is his own worst enemy, and he keeps blowing it, in my opinion.

They say hes a populist, but he cant get away with it when he doesn't come up with smart, witty and perfectly inciteful answers at every turn; when he fails to do so he ends up looking like an indecisive blustering fool.
And butting in, trying to get the last word in didn't improve things at all.

Hillary looked more Presidential simply by remaining in control of her own behavior unlike Trump today.
He wasn't as well prepared and it showed.

I did acknowledge when Trump first announced he was running that my biggest concern with someone like him is his own ego.

You seem to be cooling mighty fast on Trump there, Armchair Critic. That's encouraging. The intellectual caibre of Trump supporters is pretty damn low:

At one point there, you believed that America needed Trump, now you just seem to view him as the lesser of the two evils. Not much further to go now. If it helps to dull his appear to you any more, just remember that his family name is actually Drumpf, not Trump.
