The Final Debate

I don't necessarily dislike Pence, but he was a yappy ankle dog for a lot of that 'debate'.

Seems odd that the Hillary handlers wouldn't have prepped him better.

That is limited to five...I think she is thinking about a much larger scale, possibly including some Muslim nations.

We do that too. :) In fact, it's what we are doing right now, and have been doing, for years.

How do you think we're working with the Iraqis? Turkey is a NATO ally. Of course we share intelligence with them.

Because the only reason he was a success is because of his access and financial support. He has failed much more than he has succeeded. If he was a regular guy trying to create a business, without the connections and financial safety net, he would be a failure.

Yes, because I said his dad sucked because he hooked him up with money and connections. I'm saying Trump isn't some amazing businessman. Keep spinning.

Seems to me Trump's comment that he'll "let us know" if he accepts the election results or not is getting too little play here. I mean, come on--who says that?

This guy is not only a buffoon; he's a dangerous buffoon.

I know. I cant imagine a single election in our history (like, oh, say, about 16 or so years ago) in which major portions of the body politic have decided it was illegitimate.

That's a little unfair. It was the most analagous example I could think of, along with Tildon & Hayes, but in both cases the results were razors edge and subject to real legal and political processes (in the case of Hayes), but they both fundamentally accepted the election result. Gore conceded the election the moment his legal avenues were exhausted. The fear is that Trump would invalidate the results regardless of the margin of defeat and that he would do so absent any cognizable legal issue. That's very different.

I guess you like Hillary's vast business experience that led her and Bill to be worth 110 million dollars

I think he should have said something more like, "as long as there is no indication that something's not right."

Ok, so because his dad helped gave him a loan, gave him money when he died, and helped him when he failed Trump is a failure. Got it.

All I hear is rich people bad. Helping your children is bad. Everyone that has been helped by their rich daddy is bad. Inheritance is bad. Seems to be just standard liberal rhetoric to me.
 
Henrin said:
Yes it does. He has made it clear that he will use legal avenues to lower his costs. The avenue we are talking about is legal, so he used it.

Ah, good.

So he adheres to no other principle than 'profit when I can get it, but I'll do what it takes to win, bitch."

"TREMENDOUS JOBS!"
 
"We have to use our great people"... Trump

"That excludes you"... my daughter.

Given that Shep Smith just came out as gay, live, this indicates a BIG change.

Unless they make him appear in a low-cut halter top.

I kid! I kid!

I even noticed Megan Kelly playing less partisan, too.

I don't think you need to have served in the military to appreciate that the element of surprise is probably pretty useful. :roll:

Yeah, but the idea that you can have an offensive that size and not have ISIL see them coming is.....


....... It's not plausible. You can't move tens of thousands of people up a road, with all of the staging, the logistical train, etc., and not have anyone pick up on it. The best level of surprise you can achieve is not operational, but perhaps tactical.


Furthermore, there are other reasons why you would want to telegraph your offensives. We don't recognize ISIL as a state, so technically it's not UW, but realistically, we want to support UW efforts.
