So by that measure its a good play to people who really needn't be scared. And I'd agree that on foreign matters, her track record (and even by extension Obama's) hasn't been that successful dealing with terrorism, so not like Trump could do much worse.

Lol, I love the echo effects on his voice and the dramatic music in the background. What a nut job.

Trump complaining about Clinton at the debate: "She came into my territory...I never walked near her. She stands right in front of me."

Lol "my territory".

Next debate he should build a wall.

At least Pence isn't fanning the flames of revolution, not on the same page as his boss again!

That lady's not alone though. And unless things change dramatically, revolution is exactly where the US is heading, regardless of who wins this election.

Lol, no it's not. Everyone will have forgotten their outrage by March and will soon be placated with a new season of GoT and the introduction of the WhopperIzzaQuesaChurro. That's a whopper wrapped in pizza fried inside a quesadilla and stuffed with Churros. Revolution is bad for business. No no, the gun nuts will spike the sales in firearms, flag sales at Wal Mart will skyrocket, the new Trump news network will make him billions, and this will all continue to spin just like it has been doing for ages.

I suppose it's possible considering how fiercely divided the U.S. is right now. If Hillary wins the election (which is looking more likely every day), I won't be surprised at all if we see some violent protests from Trump supporters. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen, but when you see people like the woman in that clip and people like Alex Jones stirring the crazy pot, etc... it's a pretty volatile situation. Good on Pence for trying to talk some sense into that woman, but I doubt she listened to a word he said since it's obviously not what she wants to hear. These people are scary.

I don't mean to suggest it's just an extremist Republican loss that will trigger a revolution.

Wealth is being continually concentrated in a wealthy few and big corporations. Those same wealthy few and big corporations avoid contributing to public endeavours, and the public purse is increasingly drained to the benefit of the private sector. Increasing numbers of people can't afford basic necessities. Jobs that were once adequate to house and clothe a family are increasingly scarce, education is increasingly beyond the reach of the middle class, and globalization ensures that a huge number of jobs are simply impossible to maintain in the US.

At some point, when half the population has nothing and no hope, and 5 percent has everything, revolution seems to me to be inevitable. If they're lucky, a political revolution happens first. I would prefer that be in the nature of a candidate like Sanders, but he's out, and the less rational revolutionaries will rally around the one guy left.

If he goes, they probably try again 4 years from now when their situation has deteriorated further.

But at some point I reckon they'll just get tired of waiting. And it's not like the US lacks a culture of violence, or that Americans are inclined towards subjugation. At some point, for millions of them, it'll just seem like uprising is the best and only option left.

At the very least they may face the same thing in four years, maybe behind a much more organized and much less toxic candidate.

Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, have a run a fine campaign so far, if the objective is simply to destroy the Trump-Pence ticket (or let it destroy itself). But their very success raises questions about what they’re doing now to prepare for the day after victory.

A future President Hillary Clinton will need something like a Marshall Plan — a New Deal might be a better term — to bring hope to the Rust Belt. Or she’ll face another revolt in four years, likely led by someone more personally fit, and capable, than Trump.

Pence telling the crowd in Bettendorf that the email leaks show Clinton "revealed classified information" about the bin Laden raid (the courier call intercept). Information she must have also leaked to the makers of Zero Dark Thirty too, since the supposed classified info was in there too. (Her speech was made after that info was known publicly).

This is interesting, Stone tweeted months ago seemingly about the Podesta emails that have been released onto Wikileaks these past few days.

"Trust me, it will soon the Podesta's time in the barrel. #CrookedHillary"

https://twitter.com/RogerJStoneJr/st...66825743097856

I wonder if some 3 letter agencies would like to talk to Stone.

Is that not against the law in the US?

It would be in most western countries.

One would imagine!

Kellyanne Conway on Anderson Cooper 360 tries to suggest settling lawsuits implies guilt... She has a legal background, she knows better. And if that were true, what about the lawsuits Trump has settled?

What's in it for all these Trump surrogates that they'll go so incredibly far?

I love Trump. I have not been so entertained in years.

Would I vote for him? Would I vote for Hillary? Two people that probably should both be in prison, laws that dont apply to them. I either shoot myself in the head or spoil my vote! Yet damn its good entertainment

The debate is hilarious. Hillary goes after Trump and IMO failed massively. IMO she should of tried to stay classy and on policy, not throw s --t. He threw it back and it stuck. Big mistake!

Dont get me wrong, I am not defending Trump. Guy is full of BS and a crook. Probably a sex offender too! Hillary has padded her pockets for years thru corruption, and has taken bribes. Deleting what? 33,000 emails lol!

The best thing that could happen is us finding out Hillary has a boy toy. That would be awesome!

By the way, anyone who thinks a single person called the President controls the USA is on glue. Reagan was the best cast, perfect. An actor got the role!

Some people think these people will control the USA, no they wont. Actors playing the part!

If I am wrong? Man are we screwed!

I know exactly how condescending this sounds, I know you don't want or care about my pity and I am not exactly sure why, but...

I think I pity you.

Trump was on O'Reilly tonight. Had a demeanour that I would describe as "enraged". Called Paul Ryan weak, among numerous other things, and very notably said that if he (Trump) wins, Ryan won't be speaker anymore. Also threw some mucd at McCain. Got extremely defensive at the mildest of criticism from O'Reilly (who it should be mentioned did a good job of trying to keep him in check).

The whole performance was fairly unhinged.

I'd note by the way to anyone who didn't take seriously the threat of prosecuting Clinton that the Ryan thing is yet another example of Trump saying outright that if elected he'll use his power to punish the people he thinks have wronged him...
