THIS IS GREAT! The politician vs. the Bombast!

She's telling the enemy and now she's been fighting ISIS. Meanwhile the wealthy are going to do a tremendous job!

If she keeps cool she'll win but he's getting under her skin.

I dunno man. You ignore him to much, you wind up like Jeb!.

Trumped up Trickle Down! I need to make Tshirts of this stuff.

**Co'tor Shas**

She's doing well. And the moderator really needs to stop him from interrupting constantly.

**LordofHats**

Listening to this debate, and specifically Donald Trump brings to mind, my favorite DBZA video is most appropriate;

**Ouze**

Still no tax return release from Trump, of course. No surprise there. It hasn't hurt him much so why even.

OH SNAP Lester found his nads for a second there!

**Frazzled**

How? You can't stop the bombast.
Oh yea Holt just zinged him on the tax form. Sic 'em Holt. Now we need a Hillary zinger on it.

**AndrewC**

Keep waiting for the 'Your fired!' line from Trump.

Did Trump just say he was smart for avoiding his taxes?

What are you hiding Trump? Who do you owe money to? Where's my Two dollars?

**A Town Called Malus**

I think Hilary got a good hit in there on him about his tax returns.

Trump says it is smart to not be paying tax. Hilary continues on to point out that not paying tax means he has not contributed to funding troops, vets, schools etc.

Yes. He seriously just replied to an accusation that he's not paying taxes with "that makes me smart."

**Frazzled**

Dude you can't talk about your tax formand not produce it.
But its ok he has a tremendous income and is incredibly underleveraged.

**Ouze**

point to Trump: LaGuardia really is like a third world airport.

**Frazzled**

Zap.. you haven't paid income tax. Lets talk about that...

Mmm now talking about dishwashers stiffed...this is a good line and will show his arrogance if she does it right. Lets watch.

Heh... Shorter Hillary: Americans deserve to see Trump's tax returns, but not my deleted emails.

**d-usa**

So Trump has pretty much admitted multiple times that he paid
zero taxes?

**Ahtman**

Finally some hard hitting debate coverage.

Reality is likely tax breaks. I've seen this game played first hand.

Yeah, TBH I think a extremely wealthy guy who doesn't pay his bills is going to resonate pretty hard. "I took advantage of the law" isn't quite the draw I think he might think it is.

**A Town Called Malus**

Apparently the US doesn't have people who know how to buy things, except for Trump of course.

Race question. This should be interesting.

**Frazzled**

Uh oh now we're on race. Here's where Trump re-loses the black vote. I love his dorky smirks.

She needs to quit taying "platform." Ah help she just brought up guns. There goes my vote.

**AndrewC**

Think Clinton took the first point. Trump spent his time claiming how great he is in avoiding taxes, lambasting government for lack of spending. Oh and advertising his own businesses.

I concur.

Oh dear... race topics next.

**LordofHats**

"Hillary doesn't want to use two words; Law and Order."

I'm pretty sure she just said Law about five times XD. Literally a few seconds before you spoke.

**whembly**

Oh gak... "Everyone should respect the law" - Hillary Clinton.

And irony died.

**A Town Called Malus**

4,000 people killed in Chicago since Obama took office.

So, Obama is the cause of gun crime in Chicago?

Also, Trump condones Stop and Frisk which was ruled unconstitutional then tries to argue it isn't as the result was not appealed but would definitely have won if it were.

**WrentheFaceless**

There he goes, blaming the illegals for crime

Hes doubling down on Stop and Frisk

**Frazzled**

Mmmm pushing stop and frisk.

He's doing ok actually considering he's not studied.

Her defending the negative picture is not the way to go but she's cementing the black vote right now.

**whembly**

Neither candidate seems to have even the first clue as to what to do when it comes to race/crime issues. Both spoke pure blather.

**Ouze**

Wants to get rid of state for-profit prisons - "Shouldn't have a profit system to fill up prisons" - yes, so much this.

Now going into the awful idea that people on the no-fly list shouldn't be able to own guns. This is a mistake.

edit: wow, Trump agreed with that idea!
