^ Why don't we do more to eliminate these kinds of people from society or at least make them think twice before speaking? Yes take your freedom of speech, have it but that shouldn't eliminate you from said consequences regarding that speech. Coulter honestly should have her ass beat. She must be the saddest person inside.

Maybe we can start with not buying Coulter's books.

Agree that as a hot-head blowhard, Trump could explode at the debates.

but I think you guys are giving Hill too much credit. she could fail miserably too. it's not like she's good on her feet with someone who's not playing patty cake with her.

there's a reason they keep her away from press conferences, right?

I mean, just look how awful she came off with Ed Henry. and he was being polite.

He denies it, she says, "Oh, really?" and pulls out the newspaper.

It wouldn't be that hard to walk him right into it. You simply have a few prepared attacks that you know will likely lead to him denying something he's been quoted as saying, and have the corresponding quote ready.

She probably won't be able to bring actual newspapers with her (debate rules typically prohibit the use of "props", and I think newspapers would fall under that), but I'm sure that she and her team have a few of those lines of attack ready to go and will be ready to spoonfeed the newspaper/tv citations to reporters after the debate.

The big question, of course, is whether that approach can be effective in a world where (a) most people just generally assume that politicians will lie/flip flop and (b) specifically when the person making the claim is Hillary.

I realized that if Hillary wins and goes on to have two terms, my kids will be in their late teens and will have essentially never known a U.S. with a white male President. I think that's pretty cool, considering the history of our country.

They won't know a white male President even if Trump does win.

Is this a serious post?

Semi serious....I don't think I could take 3 months off from work without really pissing off some people that matter, so its prob a no go. If I was in grad school I think I would look into it seriously.

It's probably best if Hillary doesn't go around breaking rules intentionally after all the email fun.

Actually, this is one I'd disagree on. If she breaks a rule by bringing a newspaper on stage, and he hits her on that, it really discredits a lot of other attacks along the lines of rules/law. People are going to be like, "Seriously, over a newspaper? C'mon man!" It would actually be a pretty good way to bait him into a stupid attack.

So you've finally figured out what the DNC was doing, and that it needs some kind of rationalization?
