Hillary Won the Debate Because She Didn’t Die

For those of us who’ve already made up our minds, the debate was an exercise in futility. With our confirmation bias going strong, barring some sort of debacle, there was nothing either Trump or Hillary could say to sway our opinions. Regarding the content of the debate, I think both Trump and Clinton made some good attacks, with the better ones coming from Trump.

But, considering all of the drama that has been circulating the internets regarding Clinton’s health and her coughing and apparent seizures, I think she won today’s debate, simply by not dying. I fully expected her to either seize up and get carted off in a wheeled chair, or die in an apoplectic fit.  Neither of that happened, fortunately, which tips the Clinton camp over the line towards debate winship.

A big shout out to the Clinton medical support team for properly concocting the medicinal cocktails that kept their candidate both lucid and effectively conscious throughout the duration of the 90 minute melee.

NOTE: Everyone will have an opinion on what should’ve been said and how one of them missed a good attack. Debates are fluid and hindsight is 20/20. My only question is, why the fuck wasn’t the topic of the Clinton Foundation mentioned during tonight’s debate, but Holt felt it necessary to press the all important birther issue topic?

It’s worth noting that my polls are typically 70% pro-Trump. When asked about who won the debate, it was evenly split tonight.

    I agree Dr. Fly – it is amazing the Clinton Foundation wasn’t brought up. Another missed opportunity for Trump was the apparent issue of Hillary being broke when she left the white House and now having a net worth of something in the neighborhood of $130 million.

      Didn’t bring up Trump Foundation either.. right? Was disclosed today that he used it to avoid paying taxes on income. He will see the inside of a fed prison before HRC.

        Trump foundation? Get the fuck out of here with this shit. How can you even compare the two? You’re a caricature of a thinking person.

          One was sleazy with no documented quid pro quo while the other was intentionally illegal.

    What was T-man snorting at the beginning. Does he have a fatal ling disease or perhaps a deviated septum from past illegal behaviors? Think the word rambling has a new definition.

    Even when he started to make a valid point he froze after two sentences and had to repeat himself again and again. She could have gone for a knockout but for some reason held back.

    Planned. Win the war. The first battle is meaningless other than show casing a bobble head war monger and a genius not taking the bait. Obviously just a worthless opinion.

    luckily we have another 2 debates left for some coughing, falling & seizuring, or approximately 180mins to see if Hillary’s medical team can stave off the Parkinson’s & all the other neurological damage she’s sustained….

          He rambled and looked confused. He had difficulty stringing together more than sentence or two. Looked like an ass on the birther issue. No exactly the demeanor of a world leader. She owned him this round.

        he did not fold, he actually won. and i say that just from him citing Obama essentially doubling the deficit to over 20 trillion in a mere 8 years, which alone is enough to kill off anyone who’s been central to his failed admin; namely, Hillary. and hammering home the jobs and business angle definitely helped, as did his mention of poor blacks and Hispanics and inner cities — i promise you that will resonate with that demographic and he will double-down and triple-down on the race relations and wages over course of next 2 debates.

          When was the lst time any American other than Rick Santelli gave a shit about the deficit. Americans love deficits. No blacks are voting for Trump as long as pushes stop and frisk.

    and next time Hillary brings up his father’s loan to him when he was just starting out, he may want to ask her what companies and businesses she’s successfully started up and grown from the tens of millions in GS speaking fees and the god knows how many millions from her slush fund money laundering foundation operation….

    the_swatter is a patriot. Sees thru the bullshit. Obviously a decimated middle class found no hope in a diseased bag talking about NOTHING for 90 minutes. Who gives a fuck about anything that beast said? Think about it. What? Must remember this is The Heart of Darkness. Must play chess.

      & we all know the hag will continue ACA and as per Saul Alinsky’s master plan there will be only poor people and the oligarchs. strip out healthcare from consumer spending component of GDP and we are at 0.

      Alinsky’s #1 destabilization level for socialism was HEALTHCARE — he stated that if you control healthcare you control the people, and then promptly went on to list increasing poverty as a plus, and racial discord as well, etc etc.

    Clinton sparked my curiosity about “debt-less college”. I mean, if I don’t have to save for my kids’ college, I could use the money to start a business and create jobs. Is that what she means? Logique

    fuck Killary did better than I would have liked. she actually did more attack mode than trump who wanted to be presidential. trump threw jabs, and quick one on the email but no full contact hit, as his mission was to be presidential not attack dog. So, each actually got what they wanted. so on to round two as trump will start throwing body blows. will be interesting to see how he finally spends his horded campaign funds.

      if trump wins i think it will be boring as he wants it like the 50’s.

      if killary wins it will be bloody. and more Americans will die in foreign soil. that is why military leaders support trump cus military leaders try to minimize the lost of a soldier. while killary want it her way and fast regardless of who dies in the short term, as long as she get her fucking way.

      Dude. The man God played the Medusa. This is not complicated. That witch is the devil and even the inner cities are waking up. The silver bullet or wooden stake comes if needed. Peeps are a trip for not seeing the field. Trump dominated.

    OK Trumpsters, let’s make a deal. We can make his 10 year old Secretary of the Cyber and as a bonus Trump can have his English teacher.

      English is Trump’s second language. Queens is his first. The glum expressions on the faces of his royal family exiting the hall of defeat said it all. It was like someone revoked their spa privileges at Mar-A-Lago.

    I agree Mrs. Bill Clinton won because she did not keel over, but it is OK for Trump, better to lull now and then rise and get momentum going in to election day.

    Lots can happen between now and then.
