And Hillary will lie and deny anything about those emails, as well. I think the debates will bring her down. Trump is too much of a bulldog and Hillary won't know what to do. And yes, both candidates are an embarrassment to the world.

One of Hillary's only strengths are her debating skills. I have a feeling she will win those against trump.

This thread is actually tolerable to read again.

When you say "MSM", do you mean "Methylsulfonylmethane" or "Miami Sound Machine"?

It's absurd, period, and not too much of a coincidence to be ignored.
I just checked and it turns out people die all the time. You can look it up, too.

Conspiracy-theory-of-the-day thread, as you were.

She has great technical debating skills and I believe her to be far more intelligent than The Donald, but her like ability could be a big factor is she slips into her condescending tone, talking like a minority group,etc.

As I said a few posts back U fear that she will be easily able to bait The Donald into flying off the handle.

Hillary may be a cunning linguist but Trump is a master debater.

Can't refute so you discredit the source. How DNC of you.

How Democratic National Convention of me?

I don't have to discredit the source because the source has not established credibility. Let's see some proof and a cogent explanation of the accusations. If Julian Assange actually releases some incriminating information I will read and judge at that time. This article is just clickbait from a source that doesn't even make an attempt to appear unbiased.

Yeah count me as happy to throw my vote away....

A vote for Hillary or Trump is a vote for Hillary or Trump.

Since you do not realize that the likes of Breitbart, Alex Jones's InfoWars/PrisonPlanet, and Political Insider are not legitimate news sources, but rather the yellowest of tabloid journalism (the old "Weekly World News" but digitized), there is the same point in talking to you about these matters as there is in your posting material from those "sources" in the first place, which is, of course, none at all.

Articles from the Onion are actually well-written by people who understand how journalism works, which is why their satire is so effective.

The writers from the sources Timmay likes to present tend to not possess those same skills. In this way, they are another form of humor, but one that can only be enjoyed by people who can tell the difference between actual news and fake news.

Hillary may have great debating skills, but she has not faced someone like Trump. Carson, Kasich, Fiorina, and Huckabee are great debaters, where are they now?

Clinton emails may be responsible for the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist.

She's faced Obama in debates numerous times, and he's lauded her debating skills. Where is he now?

Trump, if he doesn't figure some way out of the debates (which I think he will try very hard to do), will not fare well in them. He simply lacks the understanding of too many purely political issues to speak on them effectively. When he realizes how far in over his head he is, he will become defensive, and then, only he knows what he might say.

By the way, The Washington Examiner is also not considered a journal of record. It is pure propaganda like Breitbart and InfoWars. The conclusion leads to the writing of the articles and not the other way around as it is in proper journalism.

Carson a great debater???????? He could beat a dead tree stump maybe but I would bet he would lose to a stuffed animal.

I was thinking the same thing...

jdandns · 08-07-2016, 02:26 PM

Additionally, Fiorina's "strongest" moment in any of the debates is when she claimed to have "just seen" a video related to Planned Parenthood that did not exist. It played well with the audience in attendance, but with fact-checkers, not so much.

Perhaps my favorite moment in the GOP debates was when, within the first 10 minutes of what ended up being the last Republican debate he participated in, Trump took time to assure the audience that his hands, among other things, were indeed large.

Neither Trump nor Hillary have yet squared off in a debate for the benefit of a wholly bi-partisan audience, so there's no real way to know how they'd fair in one. That said, I sure would like to see it.

Maybe she will pull out some hot sauce and spice things up a bit in the debates.

Breitbart and Washington Examiner are real news sources. Just because you don't like the fact they lean right does not mean the information they write is false.
