so Dtard... how many of your "pinocchio's" for Hillary tonight?
- Thread starter andy4theherd
- Start date
she must have missed Comey's statement the day he announced they decided to not pursue charges. That 20 minute list of things she did wrong apparently didn't happen in her world...
Hillary took it on the chin last night. Snap polls show a Trump victory in the forum anywhere from 55% up to 70%
i think this pretty much sums it up for the time being 'til
pinocchios are issued.
corporate owned right wing media propping up an incompetent.
In a notable departure during this political season, NBC actually gave over an hour of prime time, forsaking a precious edition of America’s Got Talent, to let the country hear from Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The setting was what was billed a “Commander-in-Chief Forum,” hosted by Matt Lauer and airing on both NBC and MSNBC. Clinton and Trump appeared in separate half-hours.
Clinton lost the coin toss, so she went first. Lauer asked her to tell us what qualities she possessed to lead the country “without attacking” her opponent; Lauer promised to ask Trump “the same question.” Clinton played by that rule. Yet when Trump’s half-hour began, Lauer rephrased that question, asking Trump to “keep attacks to a minimum.” Which of course opened the door for Trump to criticize Clinton, which he did repeatedly, egregiously, throughout his time. Lauer allowed this to happen.
Lauer’s second question was about Clinton’s old email server. Think about it: In the context of was supposed to be an exploration of each candidate’s ability to become Commander in Chief, the second question out of Lauer’s mouth was about emails, not about military strategy or leadership goals or policy positions. It was an appalling example of the way the TV media persists in following cable-news ratings-teases, asking about controversy for controversy’s-sake.
During Trump’s half of the show, no such questions were asked about any extraneous controversy Trump has been involved in, and of course, he’s been involved in many. Instead, Lauer asked questions like, “what in your life [has] prepared you” to be commander-in-chief (Trump managed to work in a Clinton criticism there), and a softball such as “Will you be prepared on Day One?” (Trump worked in multiple criticisms of Clinton there as well.) Trump’s responses were marked by meaningless phrases (“she has a happy trigger” Huh?), and sentences begun but never finished. (One response, in its entirety: “The vets are waiting six days, seven days, eight days.” Uh-huh; for what?)
Lauer is by no means the only TV news person who falls into an apparent coma in the face of Trump’s repetitive patter, while fixating to an obsessive degree on Clinton’s email server. But his lapse this evening was especially notable, given how rare it is for network television to spend any amount of prime-time with the candidates.

I guess dtard fails to see how emails ARE important to show presidential qualities. If Hillary cant keep classified info safe, how can you spell out military strategy or policy positions? We wont even go into leadership goals because if you cant keep classified info safe, you arent a leader.
the amount of importance Libs are putting on Trump changing his statement on the Iraq war over the course of a few months 12 years ago compared to her emails is nauseating...
I think it's desperation on Hillarys part. Has she yet to roll out a policy or idea that will improve on all the misery and inequality her party has instituted and overseen the last 8 years?
One minute we have Obama chiding Trump's desire to change the policies he has implemented, the next we (occasionally) see Hillary telling (and choking) her voters America needs "fixed" ( I am paraphrasing).
It's a dark comedy.
Meanwhile, Clinton was taking heat for saying Wednesday, "We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again and we are not putting ground troops into Syria.”
As of Thursday, there already are 4,460 U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq, according to the Pentagon – with 400 having arriving over the Labor Day weekend. There are roughly 300 U.S. special operations forces on the ground in Syria.
