Anderson Cooper is not paying attention and seems to have an agenda. (big suprise)

I feel the same way. I don't think any of the moderators have shown neutrality. I'd like to see Walter Cronkite and Roger Mudd in the moderator chairs.

Truely, the 10 minutes (all I could stomach) I saw, Cooper kept shutting Trump down and letting Clinton go on and on and on...

To your list, I would like to add Dan Rather and the late David Brinkley... Heck even Marvin Zindler could do a better job, IMO.

Marvin Harold Zindler (August 10, 1921 – July 29, 2007) was a news reporter for television station KTRK-TV in Houston, Texas, United States. His investigative journalism, through which he mostly represented the city's elderly and working class, made him one of the city's most influential and well-known media personalities.

That name, Marvin Harold Zindler, does sound familiar to me, for some reason.

I think the problem is what I said in another thread about entertainment industries owning news companies nowadays. News reporting is just not the same anymore.

Well, Marvin Zindler did become quite nationally famous briefly... He *IS* the man that virtually singlehandedly shut down the La Grange, Texas 'Chicken Ranch' (the oldest continuously operating, at the time, house of ill repute in the USA), inspiring the Broadway and film musical 'The Best Little W***ehouse in Texas', where his role (in the film version) was played by Don DeLuise (though the character had a different name).

I, The People

Zindler proved that the power of 'the press' could move mountains... Too bad none of them today has anywhere near that kind of clout or vision.

Between Trump and Clinton... I wonder which one Marvin would have gone after first...

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

The Libertarians are sad about the country going down the drain.

Shucks I just made short trip around the world on the 'internets.'
I am surprised that the jail threats were not all that noted, still
I am not shocked at all by the world's reaction to how impolite they
are to each other. I might add, they seem to be unimpressed by who
would support such persons.

I was waiting for Trump to either strangle Hillery from behind or have a heart attack/stroke on the spot.

To me he had the look of a cornered animal.

Oh, that's right he's already proved that he is an animal. :-O

Cheers.

I noticed how they needed a two-shot for the first half of the "debate".
As soon a Hillary decided to stand directly in front of Trump to answer a question, they no longer needed two cameras and a split screen.
It reminded me of a game of pool where each player was trying to annoy the other by getting in their space.
That was a stupid format to allow them free roaming the stage. It distracted me.
Also, they need a big flashing red light and a loud continuous buzzer to shut these two foolish egomaniacs up when their time expires.
Just telling them their time is up is not enough.

EDIT: and maybe a shock bracelet to zap them when they interrupt would be handy...

Anderson is the vanilla soft serve ice cream on a cake cone.
Martha was the warm drippings that made the cone soggy.

Best line so far....


Trump mentions Clinton's email stuff answering a question...

Clinton (response): " ... we don't want HIM in charge of law enforcement in this country!"

Trump (brief quip): "Yeah... YOU would be in jail!"

Audience applauds.


LOL.

You didn't find it disturbing that a possible future President was threatening to throw his opponent in jail despite several investigations finding that she didn't break the law? I found that one of the (many) creepy moments of the night. It's the sort of thing you expect in Russia or North Korea, not America.

Second best line:

Clinton: (paraphrase) You are a racist, Trump! You said that Obama was not born in this country! You owe him an apology!

Trump: No, Hillary. YOU owe him the apology! (paraphrase) It was YOUR campaign that came up with that one during your 2008 campaign against him!

Audience applauds and snickers...


LOL.



I have said it here before, and will say it again. Political theater at its finest!

That's another one of those things Trump said that has been proven time and time again to be a lie. It's not funny, it's scary that he is using Nazi propaganda tools by repeating something known to be an absolute lie again and again until people believe it.

The flies which kept landing on hillary told me everything I need to know about where she's coming from. Flies don't lie.

I think Trump gained some voters last night. He FINALLY confronted hillary on many of her indiscretions. The people who decided to vote for Trump after last night's debate just don't want to admit it publicly because many of them are surrounded by tax and spend liberals.

Do you ever go any where near any fact checking sites? There are quite a few very good ones. I think you would really benefit from it.

As a psychologist who specialises in conspiracy theorists, this is what I can tell you about Donald Trump's bizarre beliefs

Pretty certain you don't understand why the audience aplauded on both of those occasions.

But your "understanding" seems to be hugely influenced by your extreme hatred and bias.

Rabid Trump supporters are equally as blind as the rabid Clinton supporters.

I'm very happy to be niether.

Hint: The applause was for Trump.

Applies to both...

However... Your Post may be a bit of sarcasm. Since it applies to Most Politicians, in all Countries.

Are Most Politicians as NAZI's, regarding 'The Truth'?

Yep.

Trump is extreme and dangerous.

Yes, I am for real.

I look at real situations. Listen carefully to what people say and use reason to formulate my opinions rather than your method using extreme bias and fanatic emotions.

That is also believed by many, regarding your assertions and assumptions.

Just a difference of opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

It was more his efforts to explain to me the obvious rather than accept that I might not agree.

Calling me a rabid Clinton supporter is pretty hilarious. However, for an American politician she's the best you've got and she'll probably do a very competent job. It would be far better and far more useful if people founded their criticism of her on reality. At this point though you just have to work with what you have. So this 'rabid' supporter says she's not that bad and is the sane choice.

As this election has gone on my support for her has increased if only because I empathise with the tsunami of sexism she has put up with with amazing grace and dignity. I know I would have snapped by now if I were in her shoes.

The second half of your sentence proves the first half wrong.

No more valid than those who attack Trump Supporter's.

Both are the same. Just two peas in the same pod.

There is no equivalency here. Trump is a dangerous narcissist. I don't say this lightly and you full well know I don't. I feel sorry for those he's duped, but there is absolutely no equivalency between him and Hilary Clinton. To claim there is a dangerous pandering.
