The New American Politics thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

#TrumpWon is predictably great to read, mostly mocking him but his cultists of course think people are serious. Shockingly the cult is clinging to all the online polls he won, and dismissing any poll that he lost as rigged or libtard crap. But it seems #TrumpSniffles is getting even more play so Donny Montana appears to be the big takeaway.

Overall after thinking about last night some more, I think what makes it such a bad night for Trump is he's probably lost all of the suburban white woman vote that he had gained recently with his pandering to minorities that allowed for the polls to tighten. He avoided the absolute disaster, but with his misogyny being so difficult to control it's going to be hard for him to not slip and say something really catastrophic in the last two debates. I mean he's already going to this the morning after. Just like the Khan thing, he cannot let anything go.

Trump digs in on former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado:
"She gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem."

How does such a fat #### consistently make fun of others weight?

I'd been leaving some threads open to go past 10,000 posts to see if they'd be any better on the new server, but it was chugging pretty good last night so it still seems to be a limitation of the forum software.

So locking the thread (will archive it soon), it was suggested to maybe have multiple political threads if a topic was big enough to warrant it, so if you think a topic needs its own thread go ahead and start it with a good first post. Someone can start the replacement election discussion thread as well. Thanks.
