First Presidential Debate
"My temperament is tremendous," said the 70-year old man who told America to watch a sex tape that doesn't exist at 430 AM on a Friday morning ...
One is the POTUS, the other is the guy who wants to replace him. This is what they did at the same hour last night (in the midst of Shimon Peres' funeral):

The lack of respect of constantly referring to her as, not just the ironic "Crooked Hillary", but "Hillary". Disagree with her, fine, but a man calls the former First Lady, former Senator, and former Secretary of State by her last name. Can you imagine any other candidate referring to another candidate by their first name? If McGovern repeatedly called his opponent "Tricky Dick"? If Bill Clinton addressed Dole as "Bobby"?
Also, are there really grown men who want a president who tweets like a bratty, spoiled 13 year-old girl? This is why people have a hard time taking Trump supporters seriously - it says a lot about their basic idea of decency and respect. This is a man who obviously feels inadequate, a grown man who argued about "hand size" at length during a debate. Is that what his supporters identify with?

Maybe Johnson's response was the best:

In all seriousness...Donald Trump goes on a two-hour overnight Twitter rampage about a former Miss Universe. And now this is all anyone in the media will talk about until the next debate (yawn). Meanwhile I still don't know where all of his income is coming from, nor do I know to whom he owes all of the millions and millions of dollars he is in debt. Is he in the back pocket of Russian Oligarchs? Or is it Saudi Oil Sheiks? Maybe it's Chinese industrialists? Maybe it is all of them? He does seem to want to punish Iran a lot, and so do all of those others so maybe they are all in bed with Trump.
And not one reporter is asking him about his tax returns today. Coincidence?

Judging by the sniffling and the paranoid 3 a.m. Twitter rampages, I'd say he owes the money to his coke dealer.
Well, hopefully I'll be able to figure it all out.
All sarcasm aside.... The only thing to figure out is why you think it's okay to allow people to lie you in the first place. It could be that as long as that lie doesn't effect you personally, then it's all good ? Or maybe you don't give a crap about the lies period, cause you can't see past that party allegiance ? It is broken man. The division and chaos in our nation caused by the two major parties and their continued B/S needs to go down the road, and I won't be feeling bad either.

I think they're asking today. Of course, they're from 1995...

Frankly I wish the media would pay more attention to Trump's plan for "tax reform" than his actual tax returns. Whatever is contained in his individual tax returns is irrelevant to my life. The same, however, can not be said for his latest tax proposal should he become president.
The media has been so complacent in what has become a circus election and ignored almost entirely actual discussion/coverage/ etc. of the candidates proposals for a whole host of issues. Granted, there isn't much to review from Trump given his ignorance of most all policy issues, but he has at least released a revised tax reform plan.....It's so frustrating watching Trump play the media like a violin.

The reason the tax returns are relevant to me is because I want to see who he owes money to. If he owes large amounts to foreign interests I think we should know that. The more he evades the tax return issue the more suspicious I become.
The big news today is that he may not have paid any income tax in many years. That is irrelevant to me as long as he didn't violate the law. I would think less of him as a businessman if he didn't take the best advantage of the tax code. The lesson there would be that the tax code needs reform, not that Trump was bad.
I agree that his tax policy is important and deserves scrutiny, but that is difficult to do because he only talks in vague terms and changes his story constantly. Without detail how do you scrutinize?
i think this is amazing....the bar was so low for him to win this and.....well i think he is losing
Hillary knew the questions in advance thanks to CNN. Is that low enough for you?
