The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 952 - Politics and Economics

Technically, you're supposed to get fed debate answers. It's called 'preparation'. Which, if you're anti-intellectual like most of his base, translates into 'cheating'.

So yes, in many people's mind she 'cheated' because she 'prepped/studied'. Anybody else getting high school flashbacks?

And on the other side, you have somebody who can't explain how a bill becomes a law.

That's all well and good, but it was still ****ed up Brazille gave Clinton (and not Bernie) the debate questions.

Well, that's how medicine worked for a few thousand years. Science and medicine were kind of a shotgun marriage, with some occasional backsliding.

Read some Facebook comments on a Supreme Court article and there were a bunch of Republicans complaining about Democrats always obstructing everything. Lol

That's true and I'm glad she's not in that position any more.

She gave her like one question, something along the lines of, "How are you doing this evening?"

Her answer was like, "I'm doing president for all Americans, particularly the children." Bernie's would have been, "I'm doing...the middle class are being screwed by the billionaires."

The debate question thing is so dumb. Even if Clinton received every question word for word ahead of time, it wasn't going to help her that much. Any candidate should know what questions they are going to get to a pretty high degree of certainty and have answers prepared for various situations.

Trump is just pissed because he didn't prepare so he NEEDED the questions ahead of time.

I seriously cannot believe a guy in charge of an entire branch of government chooses to get his information from Fox News. It's beyond parody.

Obviously that tweet is a small thing but a strong case can be made for it being among the dumbest things ever said by a sitting president, including the avalanche of dumb things Trump has said.

Come on, we all know debate questions have objectively correct answers that HRC had to be spoonfed.

Trump probably thinks that if Clinton didn't show her work during the debate that she should have only been given half credit, even if she had the correct answers.

McConnell can go nuclear, but he's rolling the dice. What he'd definitely be losing: no more 60 y/o moderate appointees liked by Orin Hatch. I would not be at all surprised if GOP has 2 defections on rules vote. I see it as like 30-40%.

LOL I just received a call from "O'leary for Canada" which I gleefully answered to just laugh into the receiver and say **** off.

I only have enough energy to follow one idiot, but thanks.

Hey, remember when Trump paid a 25k bribe to Florida AG Pam Bondi to back off Trump U (which he did using donations to his "charitable" foundation)? The Cheeto has so many scandals it's easy to forget.

He is going to lose solely due to all the obvious Trump comparisons.

I'm still waiting for the independent commission on the 3 million illegal votes. That's like the biggest scandal in American history, forgotten after 2 months.
