This ad from the Clinton campaign back in July seems spot on now.

Can't they just change his password and not tell him? Someone obviously has access to the account given the Android/iPhone splits, so why not lock him out? Are they that afraid of him?

That must be by a Super PAC, not the the Clinton campaign.

Is there any actual policy discussion in this thread?

There's no policy discussion in the debates, so why should there be in this thread? Only one candidate has any policy at all anyway.

American politics isn't about policy, it's about the disaster that it is. Get some popcorn and enjoy the ride.

What policies? The only policies that have been discussed by both candidates to my knowledge are wall building vs not, banning Muslim immigration or not, and 6 paid (unfunded) weeks vs 12 weeks paid maternity leave. Those have all been discussed.

We haven't had enough Scott Adams:

Quote:
That the creator of an anodyne and highly successful comic strip about office culture should have a minor role in this election is not quite as surprising as it seems.#Dilbert#seems to function largely as a business endeavor for Adams. His true calling is advocating on behalf of his own colossal brilliance. Trump vs. Clinton is merely the latest and largest forum in which Adams has sought to prove his case
Quote:

He arrived on the pundit scene with a splash: He announced way back in the summer of 2015 that Trump was going to win the Republican nomination. He came to this knowledge not via fancy polling models or sophisticated political science analyses, but just by watching the election unfold through what he calls his “Master Persuader lens.” Adams is a trained hypnotist, and as such he can’t help but recognize the mesmeric brilliance of nearly everything that Trump says and does
Quote:
This past year, Adams has been taking to his keyboard as often as 10 times a week to remind the world of the scale of his accomplishment. He has not (until just this past week, anyway) been carrying on like this out of any desire to see Trump win. Far from it. He merely sees in Trump a Master Persuader of world-historical significance, and what with Adams being a Master Persuader himself, well, greatness can’t help but recognize greatness. On Sunday, driven largely by concerns about estate taxes and about Hillary Clinton’s health, Adams#did finally endorse Trump, but again, this was a matter not of partisanship but of helplessly superior perception. As a hypnotist, Adams has been taught to read “subtle bodily changes,” and he could no longer ignore what Clinton’s eyes and complexion were telling him.
But... but... but he was being ironic, and people just can't see that!

Well Trump has said he'd like to dissolve NAFTA and has endorsed stronger US protectionism/isolationism, that's a fun set of policies that could #### Canada pretty hard.

That's not policy, that's rhetoric. Policy requires a few more details that just a goal. You cannot unilaterally dissolve NAFTA, and endorsing a stance isn't policy either.

It's a brave new world my friend. Rhetorical musings and vague accusations are what we get now.

That's my point. There's no policy to discuss, just empty rhetoric

Oh the irony...

@realDonaldTrump
Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying "sources said," DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!
