Ah come on - a Trump - Clinton debate has got to be seen to be believed.

It could be interesting.  I don't care so much what they say about policy, but I'm looking forward to how the interpersonal tension plays out.

I'm happy that Clinton is taking notes from LBJ's book.  The Klansmen was good (Johnson did the same thing), now we just need the mushroom cloud. :)
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

If Rick Lazio's attempt at physical intimidation of Clinton during their NY Senate debate scared the living shit out of women voters watching TV at the time and permanently cemented the race for her, then just imagine what the Donald is capable of.

Let's hope it isn't something that requires bandages. Or, god help us, lubricant.  :P

Yes, by all means, let's cross the stage unannounced and stand over a 5' woman and badger her to sign a pledge right then and there.  What could happen?

I'm putting the safe money on the pool table scene in The Accused by the time Gwen Ifil gets to her follow-up.

It was off-putting to a sizeable portion of the viewing public, and his poll numbers sank immediately afterwards, to the tune of 10 points with women voters.

But keep ignoring what women think as usual. Been working great so far for the GOP :yeah: #SuperSchaflySnuka

Probably playing civ.

In 2000? Damn. Most of us had at least moved on to SMAC by that point.

It is probably more or less an act. The Clintons and Trump were on good terms before the election.

On the other hand, each stands in the other's way of achieving ultimate power, which I think each may see as the ultimate evil.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
