He still hasn't released the unedited videos from his previous claims, despite lying that he did.
So Creamer and Foval did not do the things they did or say the things they said, and they both stepped down for no reason?
Sweet, sweet denial. You wouldn't be trying to Correct The Record would you?
Ooh, shill accusations! I was waiting for those.
More tongue-in-cheek than seroous, but at this point a fanatical defense of Hillary is pretty braindead.
I freely and openly admit that I did not watch the YouTube video, did I miss any proof that Hillary directed large-scale voter fraud to steal the election in that video?

the deficit is not the debt.
the deficit is the balance at the end of the fiscal year where the government spent more than it made. Her husband had a surplus when he turned the reins to shrub.
the debt is the accumulation of that over the decades.
oh and for the communist to say "shhh I'm speaking" wow, just wow

The deficit at the end of 2009 was $1.413trillion. The deficit at the end of 2015 was $438.9billion. Two thirds of $1.413trillion is $942billion. $1.413trillion - $942billion is $471billion. So Obama has cut the deficit by two thirds since 2009. Percentagewise the deficit in 2009 was 9.8%, in 2015 it was 2.5%.

Indeed. Donald cannot even see "Sane" on a clear day.
If "Sane" exploded, Donald wouldn't hear the bang for three days.

Stupid Australian News Radio covering the stupid Australian parliament and not giving a live feed of the US presidential debate. Priorities?!
 Do_I_Not_Like_That wrote:I've always been wary of making predictions, but as sure as Dakka follows Dakka, President Hilary Clinton will send the US Marines into some country, be it Syria, or some other part of the Middle East.
She has been itchng to intervene somewhere, anywhere, for years. Her track record on past conflicts is the evidence.
Expect the 'new' Cold War with Russia to hit freezing point on her watch.
If I'm wrong, and we're all still here in 4 years, and somebody remembers this post, I'll be the first to stick up my hand and say I was wrong.
But I get this dread feeling I'll be proven right on this and I don't want to be right on this, because it will mean that people will be getting killed. 
You think there's any chance of Clinton or anyone else being elected to the US presidency somehow getting through their four years without some conflict somewhere in the world getting people killed? Because whether the US gets involved or not, I can guarantee you that some unlucky people born in the wrong place at the wrong time will get butchered.
Now, I'm not saying that the US or any other developed country should get involved in any and all fighting everywhere in the world. There are good reasons to stay out, each case needs to be judged on its merits and political practicalities. My point really is on your blindspot - deaths aren't only happening when uniformed soldiers from first world nations are involved.

And there's also examples like Great Britain, Australia, Taiwan, South Korea...
