Not to mention the Clinton Foundation.  In the debate she said that 90% of the Clinton Foundation's money went to charities.  THAT is a lie!  Because the IRS forms show that less then 10% of the Clinton Foundation money actually goes to charities.  So yeah.  Now that we are going over it all, I'm starting to think Trump won.

In a sea of liberal media, it is refreshing to have FOX around at least.

Who wouldn't want higher wages, right?  All around us, everything is raising in price faster then our living wages... sadly it isn't just as easy as snapping our fingers and having wages be higher.  There is so much that has to be done, and I know Bernie and Hillary both are really into this, same with free college.  This is to pull in the young voters.

Are MasterX and Rainy our political commentators and analysts?  Lol!  Love you guys. 

[Death Blossom]

Yeah. What now Hillary. Hillary is a liar. I can't stand her. She is a corrupt woman. And I honestly don't care Trump called her a "nasty woman" because she is. She's a nasty person, and lies and cheats to get what she wants "done". And also, again with the bringing up Putin and Russia and just no. She needs to stop. And Trump was right, Hillary was played. Russia outsmarted her. Russia should be our friend, yeah they're not the best, but they should be an ally to us.

Lol, no luv for Spookwagon. Soda y?

This is the last time these two will be seen on such a massive stage.  So we will see how this sits with voters. 

[RainySunshine]

Just because Trump says that "Putin is a strong leader" does not mean he likes the guy.  I can saw that Hitler was a strong leader, but I hate him and all he did.  Strong leaders does not mean you like them or support them.  Many of the strongest leaders knew how to manipulate people and were strong leaders. 

Strong leaders are also good like Abe Lincoln or George Washington, etc.  Howard Taft. 

[MasterXtreme]

Now Trump has a bigger problem to deal with.  He needs to win over new voters, middle voters, and win back over the utterly inept Republican Party who is splitting from him and attacking him.  You have the weakest House leader in Paul Ryan, and he should be ashamed for his poor excuse of leadership. 

[Death Blossom]

I didn't say Trump likes Putin. He even said, "I don't know Putin, I've never met him.". But yeah, Putin likes him, he hates Hillary and has no respect for Obama.

Did we talk about how Trump wants S. Korea and Japan to have their own nuclear weapons? I think that is an interesting talking point. But I won't bring it up again if we've already discussed it haha.

[Soda]

I didn't see you, LP.  Sorry.

So you guys can think what you want, but I think Hillary won this debate pretty handedly. 

[RainySunshine]

I wasn't aiming at you with that.  I was speaking in generalities, sort of like X and I have all night.  Just bite-sized bits for everyone reading after us. 

We haven't brought up a nuclear powered South Korea and Japan.

[Death Blossom]

Really? How so? Gonna try and be open minded here and listen to a diff. opinion.
I may be a bit bias, but like I said before. It wasn't either or them's best performance. They both were kinda weak. But you know, at Trump didn't scramble to make up a lie about "sharing energy" or what not haha

[MasterXtreme]

Trump has said that America’s allies should pay more of their defense costs and take more responsibility for their own protection. Earlier this year, Trump seemed to say that Japan might be better off if it had nuclear weapons to defend itself from North Korea. He didn't promote the idea though. 

[Kyrl]

Is it november 3rd yet?

[Death Blossom]

I think it would be good for S. Korea and Japan.
We can't keep holding their hand and have them constantly relying on us to be the ones to help them of N. Korea decides to nuke them. Plus, if they have nuclear weapons, it takes the blame off of us if there is retaliation. It would be on them if they wish to fight back. Mutually assured destruction. Like how Russia and America were in the Cold War. Neither side tried bombing the other side because they knew the other would retaliate.

If S. Korea and Japan had their own weapons to fight back themselves, that would at least make N. Korea less likely to try something if they know they can nuke them back just as easily. It's a balance.
