I had to be very careful and view all supporting documents because I worked in the Aerospace industry, and their (china etc...) metals were forbidden due to the horrible quality. BUT, that is the metal Trump buys for the structures of his high-rises, putting people in jeopardy to save a few bucks.

This debate reminds me of the first one...

I think I'm done.

Trump looks medicated to me. 😑

Not much affect considering the last two debates.

Xanax?

Xanax?

I was thinking this early on. Can't explain his calmness any other way. They had to drug his ass. I doubt Xanax though, too powerful. I am guessing Klonopin if he is on any benzo.

I am so glad this wasn't the first debate. Soooo hope that people didn't even bother to watch this one because he looks so much saner.

He really does look medicated. I think he is getting more tired the longer he stands there. Like maybe it is kicking in more. Anya?

I don't think Trump seems sane at all, and I think Clinton is very strong tonight.

I agree she is very strong. I am talking about his presentation, not even anything he is saying. He is not acting like an insane man. Nothing to do with his words. He presents as calm. That is different. That is what people have pointed out as his issue/problem. He isn't doing that this time.

I'm talking about his temperament, which is everyone's concern.

I guess we are seeing him differently then. I don't see him being calm at all. I think he is doing better than 1st debate and he isn't stalking her like at the 2nd debate, so maybe compared to those. But I think this is Clinton's strongest of the 3, even better than the 1st one - which was more Trump being bad than her being great.

He did seem more under control in the beginning and then kinda lost it for a while. Overall this was his best performance.

He looks saner than usual but batik uses control when pressed.
HRC won't all 3, in my modest opinion. However, the moderator pressed Clinton way more than any other moderator before, despite everything she did not cave in on any of the presented challenges.

I think Trump's worst misstep the implication that he would not commit to accepting the outcom of the the election. That is straight up scary!

BullDog · 10-19-2016, 08:41 PM

I give props to Wallace. He brought us a serious debate and he kept them under control as much as he could. He asked good questions.

Indeed. I'm not watching but have been seeing some comments and quotes from people online who are watching...his comments on "speaking of Haiti" railing on about Clinton's emails, rigged elections etc. doesn't make him sound much different than his usual asshole, off the wall self from what I'm reading.

Lyte · 10-19-2016, 08:10 PM

Exactly right! I worked at a metals recycling plant where we crushed cars, cubed them up along with tons of all sorts of other metals and would ship them overseas. It's all cheaper then pulling/processing new metals out of the ground.

PCs too... with dangerous, toxic metals... overseas companies have people pull the precious/rare metals out BY HAND and then sell them back to us all cleaned up.

I find it amazing how Trump passes blame to everyone other than himself...Hillary Clinton, President Obama, the media and the list goes on and on.
