CNN is more cartoon than biased.

Then you've been living in a cave. So here's the Fox News poll, I guess by the logic presented earlier Trump won by a landslide.




Clinton did not win this debate she got hammered just like Trump lost badly last debate. But it doesn't matter either way Hillary is going to beat Trump big on election day which is why I don't understand why there is so much consternation about the whole thing.
No, Clinton did not get hammered. She did not lose like Trump did the last debate.

I don't think you are objective. Here's an objective view and the truth, this election is exactly like Kang vs Kodos.

Why does it matter so much? Suppose Hillary lost some scientific poll does that mean she's going to lose the election? Seems like insecurity to me.

That's your opinion, a scientific poll of a representative sampling says more people disagree with you than agree with you.

I just posted the result of a scientific poll, you're the one baselessly objecting to it.

The Fox poll you posted is not the same thing as what I posted.

Being objective is not making claim that Clinton got hammered.

Just because you see a ying with Fox news, does not mean there's a yang on the other side. That's not to say there aren't liberal leaning news stations, just that they're not biased or impartial to the same degree.

Scientific Polls have a strong liberal bias

I'm mostly just curious why you feel like Trump so obviously won this debate? What did he do that made him appear electable?

No, a poll saying someone lost or won a poll doesn't say they'll win or lose the election, it just says who people think won the debate.

Those same people eventually vote and in the past it's been shown that debate results can influence a political race and polls state and nation wide.

See the last debate, post debate polls (including this one) people thought Clinton won, and the state and national polls bore that out as new polls came in after the debate with Clinton's then very thin margin expanding considerably.

So finding out who people think won the debate is interesting.

You're the one making a big deal over it.

So has anyone ever threatened to throw their political opponent in jail before?

Trump can win the debate and still not appear electable. Hillary is nearly unelectable and has no many skeletons it's unbelievable. But somehow Trump is able to make her look like a reasonable choice overall.

As for why I think Trump won, too tired to articulate it all but I think Hillary looked weak and defensive plus her scowl was not endearing at all if I was advising her I'd say knock that off.

Seriously? That's what you're going with, telling a woman she should smile?
