Buzz & ID

I see you two lovebirds are at it again. Something got lost in translation the last time we did this?

You can both take the weekend off. Buzz for calling people names, and ID for egging him on.

I know. She was perfect.

If she had been guilty it would have been even better. Now she's just a pretty girl who got caught up in the machinations of a deranged police chief. His story is even more entertaining than hers. Some American fiction writer came over to research for a serial killer novel. Ended up with this chief accusing him of being a serial killer.

She is talking about side issues because she can't touch the major issues. Hundreds of millions received from these corporations, where is her credibility? Student debt and ceo pay she says when the country is trillions and debt and spending like a drunken sailor on insane policies, exactly because of corrupt politicians like her. Why should we take anything she says seriously? She's the very definition of sounds nice on paper but not going to happen.

Trump on the other hand is a free agent. No favors owed to the established power structure. And what he says is succinct and to the point. Less taxes and less regulation creates a better business environment. More freedom and more spending power is what everyone wants. You need to take the guns away from criminals, not law abiding citizens. He presents a tried solution that has worked very well in NY city. He says something people can understand and believe. Hillary promising great things and check out her web site is not going to appeal to anyone outside the hardcore fan base.

The ICE comment is a partial lie. He did get endorsed by their union, so technically he can claim that's what he meant. It's certainly not a lie that he has a lot of support there. And I counted at least a half a dozen similar and worse examples from Hillary, hell she even had the moderator join in and claim things about Trump that simply weren't true on two separate occasions. Trump supporting the Iraq war, which was ludicrous to try and use against him considering Hillary supported it, and to claim stop and frisk was unconstitutional when it isn't. 

Maybe he'll do better, maybe not. Hard to win when the ref is on the other team. He has the potential though. With Hillary I think this is the best she's going to get. Pulled every possible pot shot at Trump and the results were hardly devastating.

Not a porn star unfortunately.

Just an accessory to murder apparently...

Hillary knows how to pick them.

The rumors are definitely exaggerated. Trump had 11 bad minutes. 1.18 to 1.29. Admittedly very bad, but aside from that he was even or winning. People seem to forget that Hillary was absolutely vapid for most of the time, only making an impact when attacking Trump.

The last 7 minutes he definitely won. He had Hillary listing her congress grilling as an achievement and trying to label equal pay for equal work as a horrible misogynistic statement. He parried nicely too when calling her experience bad experience, and when she descended into paraphrasing Megyn Kelly with the racist and hater claims I think he is the one that tipped her over the edge. Trump's bad stretch was completely his own fault. Nor the moderator or Hillary put him in any spot there, he just farted. Probably not sure what to say and to avoid going into unchartered territory started repeating himself. Not the worst mistake if he avoids it in the future.

Once the novelty of people having another laugh at Trump wears out you'll see republicans and trumpers start to pounce on the fact that Trump clearly won the policy battle. Trump citing the 75% drop in the murder rate in New York over the last decades, and Hillary responding that he needs to stop saying things that just sounds nice but has no stats to back it up. What? I guess a pre rehearsed line that just didn't fit that argument. Trump was the only one to say anything about taxes, the economy, the fed, outsourcing, immigration, inner city violence etc. etc. Hillary was just reciting empty platitudes, reading from a sheet at her desk. She did her attacks on Trump well, but none of them did much damage. She was lucky he screwed himself up for a moment, if not there'd be no doubt he won it.

And how can you say letting them both do as they wished being biased? Maybe that's not good moderation, but it's certainly not biased. The questions on the other hand definitely were extremely biased. Trump getting pressed again and again in places where he's weak. Did Hillary get pressed even once? With her record? The bias was ridiculous in that regard.

It didn't help them though. Trump fucked himself last night. If he can fix that for the next two he'll have all the advantages. Attacking Trump has been Hillary's only game from the start, and so far it hasn't really been all that effective.
