LIVE CHAT: Presidential Debate (October 19, 2016)

[LotusFlower]

How can they have a (somewhat) lengthy back-and-forth on gun control, and not bring up the MANY mass shootings in just this past year alone?

How long has DJT been pro-life? 1 year or so?

Didn't he want Marla to have an abortion but she refused?

[madmaverick]

No offence to Americans, but I really don't understand why abortion still comes up as an issue in every election. It's 2016!  When there are so many other important issues to discuss...

The decision to have a baby or not, the right to choose, is a basic human right and a personal choice, and most societies have accepted that. 

[junemeatcleaver]

How many abortions has Trump paid for I wonder.

[callmebetty]

What????!!!! 

[Kromm]

Orange Man says:  You can... reeeeep the bay beee. Out of... the woooom-ba.... {sniff}

[madmaverick]

Trump is such a frakking hypocrite.  I doubt he ever cared about guns and abortion before he was a candidate.

[Pixel]

As a nurse, I believe "ripping the baby out on the due date" is called "delivery".

Go Hill! Take off your earrings!

If he had had his way, poor Tiffany wouldn't be here now.

[InsertWordHere]

Thank you for shutting that down, Hillary. SMH abortions one day before birth?

[fastiller]

To whomever asked earlier: Osprey's Dominion Sauvignon Blanc 2014.

[Kromm]

WALL TIME.

{Also, massive deportations with no way to accomplish them}

We are a puritanical, religious country that's why.

Ooh, he's starting to wake up! Fun is a-coming!

[callmebetty]

What ICE endorsed the Republican candidate???? I hadn't heard 

[madmaverick]

Usual scare tactics on the wall.  I am afraid he works when he's in scare mongering mode.

He's lost his vitality!  And according to people who have worked with him, he's got a decades long belief that once you use up your "vitality" it never comes back.

Not a chance! He's a man who knows how to protect his precious bodily fluids!

[LotusFlower]

He's sniffling!

[junemeatcleaver]

How cute, Trump is reciting numbers a member of his campaign fed him before the debate.

I was really feeling her there. You could tell she truly has empathy for women who have been in that situation.

[SoSueMe]

Sniff

[Kromm]

Five or six sniffs on that one. Three of them fairly loud (one SUPER loud).

So funny talking about drugs and doing that.

[SoSueMe]

"hombres" ???

The first time Trump said that, they released a statement saying they had not, but he keeps saying it.

 I would like to think we're better than this.  But, when the GOP got into bed with the religious right, all bets were off.

Their union endorsed him. Not the govt. entity.

Why didn't he just call them banditos?

The religious right. "Killing babies", etc.

Maureen Dowd asked him if he'd ever impregnated a woman who got an abortion. His answer? "No comment."

Not a problem. He's a hypocrite about everything else, why should abortion matter?

No, it didn't. A union of ICE employers endorsed him. ICE is a government agency and can't endorse anyone.

[fastiller]

How about the economic considerations w/r/the deportations?

[ChromaKelly]

Right? What's he saying there? Racist.

His meds are wearing off.

But, but he said ithat, it's the first time they've done that are you telling me he's lying???!!!! NOOO 

[InsertWordHere]

OMG Hillary's face! And Donald can't even behave to a Fox News moderator. 

[car54]

ooooh, she got him going.   one tiny little dig and SNIFFF!    

[madmaverick]

I get the split screen MSNBC live feed overseas and I think the split screen is great, especially for showing Trump's disdainful facial expressions that he can't control though he seems to have gotten better at this debate, in contrast to Hillary's clam demeanor.

I'd assumed the split screen was standard and everyone got the same feed, but is this not the case for all U.S. channels?

[callmebetty]

Our first Bigly 

[Kromm]

"Under O---ba---mah..."

[SoSueMe]

Bigly, bottoms up twice

[madmaverick]

Believe me.

Bigly x 2.

Sniff.

[fastiller]

Bigly? Again with the bigly?

 

Even 'big league' is so un-Presidential.
