    Vote for one of the weirdos like Gary Johnson or even Jill "convict" Stein who spray paints private property!

    Health should be important. It was an important talking point on McCain not too long ago and he wasn't exhibiting signs of... exhaustion? I don't know what. I don't buy pneumonia. Maybe dehydration.

    Allergies.

    Then she had to leave an event and "allergies" doesn't fit the excuse, so it's heat exhaustion.

    Then she finds out her "episode" was filmed, so it's no longer heat exhaustion, but pneumonia.

    I'm no doctor, but wouldn't a doctor have to do chest x-rays to diagnose pneumonia? If so, I'm supposed to believe they have x-ray machines in Chelsea's apartment?

    People, you're being lied to. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

    Also, she has been spotted wearing anti-seizure glasses.

    Should allergies, heat exhaustion, pneumonia, or seizures be a reason someone shouldn't be president? Of course not.

    The lying is though. And it's chronic. She is simply incapable of telling the truth. That's a problem.

    Here's more info on the glasses.

    Scary. At this point, it pains me to say it, I hope Hillary drops out and Biden can step in and take over. Cause if my choices are Biden, Hillary or Trump...I think I'd take Biden. This coming from a relatively conservative voter. Kaine is actually pretty moderate as well. Bernie ain't getting the nod as the rules for the Democratic Party state that they can hand pick the successor if a candidate drops out.

    But to your point John, I think seizures, if they are happening more and more often, should disqualify someone from being president as stress can exasperate those things. If we are in a crisis and she goes down due to seizures, I mean...that's kind of big deal. And I would say that no matter who the candidate is.

    The IT guy that Hillary put in charge of her servers testified a few weeks ago and plead the fifth to pretty much everything they asked of him.

    Today, Redditors did some scooping and found out that 2 years ago, he posted on Reddit asking for help on how to retroactively remove someone's email address from an archive of emails on a private server. He even kind of bragged about how he had to do this for a "VIP".

    Probably just another "right wing conspiracy" though...

    So.. that "debate" was laughable. I can't vote for either one of these people, can't do it. My only "comfort" is they're both puppets and will find that out in office and if Trump gets in and thinks he's gonna change things and doesn't play ball they'll simply take him out. Hillary will win, the status quo will go on.

    I don't think Trump is a puppet moreso than he is a moron, and would get impeached faster than any president in history. Hillary is the biggest puppet with the strings controlling her every move, and as you say, the status quo will go on.

    That really wasn't much of a debate as it seemed to be. Just more of the same old you did this, you said that, you're not going to do this. The point of the debate is to detail the plans that you've been campaigning for all year, and neither of them did that.

    I only give Hillary the nod for at least being prepared for the debate and not giving in to Donald's antics of interrupting and bait and switching, which he did a lot of and rarely answered any of the questions he was asked.

    As much as Lester Holt tried, he could not keep this going the direction it should've gone.

    I thought the moderator was very unfair.

    He did 6 follow-up questions with Trump. Zero with Hillary.

    During the Safety of America portion, he asked Trump about the Birther issue. Huh? He also asked about his taxes.

    He asked zero questions to Hillary about server, 33,000 destroyed emails, Benghazi, lying to FBI, youTube video, Syria, her health, her aids getting immunity, the Clinton Foundation, etc, etc, etc. Not one!!!

    There are also reports that Hillary had the questions beforehand and I need more proof before deciding if I believe it or not, if you go back to the first question and listen to her answer it, it was VERY scripted. She had all kinds of facts and figures. I thought she was reading from a teleprompter when she started. I wouldn't doubt she had the questions beforehand at all. NOTE: No reputable site has stated this, but it's out there.

    I'm a conspiracy theorist, IMO every president that takes office is a puppet from then on. I assume they're walked into a room minutes after taking oath, given some folders to go through, and told "these are the people that really run the government, this is who you work for now". Any president that doesn't go along with the program is taken out, like John F Kennedy, and then his brother before he could become president.

    I definitely thought that was odd that they didn't focus on Hillary as much as Trump. It'll be interesting to see the debate moderated by the Fox News anchor, Chris Wallace, which I'm sure he'll be drilling Hillary for.

    But I do think the reason why Clinton sounds scripted is because she's more experienced in the political arena. She knows what to say and she knows how to respond to these type of questions. She's been in this for, as Trump would repeat, "30 years". So, going up against someone as brash as Donald, she's going to sound very robotic.

    No doubt. And it showed. She was smart not to respond when he brought up emails or Super Predator. He needs to learn that.

    I would honestly be surprised if Hillary DIDN'T know the questions ahead of time.

    The moderator was just terrible all around. He did follow up on/fact check Trump much more than Hillary. The questions were definitely much tougher on Trump. But he also was just so weak and let Trump talk over him and ignore his time limits. He didn't give this type of liberty to Hillary. I kind of wonder if this was intentional. You let Trump ramble on essentialy giving him more rope to hang himself with, and then highlight his poor temperament by letting him talk over you. Haven't watched CNN yet, but I'm sure there will be a few pundits breaking down how Trump had more talking time and using that to proclaim him a sexist.

    Overall, Hillary won. Almost by default. Trump's a fool. He's not going to win with policy. He's not going to successfully defend himself. The only chance he has is to drag down Hillary but he was too timid in that regard.

    But the debate was a let down. At this point, I just want to be entertained but both of them are too defensive and scared to launch serious attacks because they know the other would also have powerful retaliation. But I want to see them both destroy each other and put all of their worst scandals, hypocrisies, and incompetence out in the forefront for the public to see.
