You two must not know how the government works.

Trump thinks being POTUS means you can do whatever you want. He has no clue that the POTUS has to work with Congress.

So? You think Clinton will be able to work with congress? LOL You know the republicans are planning to not let any of her nominates to the floor. This means she will not get anyone on the court.

And it's Clinton's fault that Republicans won't do their job? Sound logic.

And, more to the point, while in the Senate she was actually known to work pretty well across the aisle. But, don't let facts get in the way.

She also had no legislation of any import. Named a holiday or something.

when could she have accomplished these things?

she was a US Senator, so one of 100 and advocated for many of these things, but of course she wasn't running the show, and as Secy of State, her portfolio didn't include job creation, etc...

which things should she have accomplished and when?

and what makes you think he has any clue?

I don't know, you guys all promote her years of service as proof of her qualifications.

****WINNER****


And what has Trump accomplished?

Oh, come on... he inherited all of daddy's money, lost a lot more of it in his "business" than he would have if he put it in a bank, and made himself a cheap celebrity. This is presidential material, folks. Look at all the promise.

You know what it takes: a willingness to listen to the other side. Something many Republican congress people have stated that HRC would do; Trump, not so much.

Always an excuse or ten to explain a lack of accomplishment. And I don't support Trump.

LOL... so you think SoS should be able to affect tax policies? You need to take a civics class or something. Good lord.

WTF are you talking about, Donald... War-torn, third-world. Um, no. What a f*ing idiot. He has never been beyond 5th Avenue.

He didn't go to Detroit? Or Flint? He's been more places than she has. She only goes places where she needs votes.

Lester Holt needs to SHUT HIM DOWN.

[Anonymous]

Why is trump so breathless??? Is he nervous or just so fat and out of shape??? She sounds extremely confident, he's coming across like a scared little boy.

Many repubs have stated this about HRC. That's why they are going to vote for her. So yes.

OTH, many repub congress people have come out AGAINST Trump. How many Dem congress people have stated they will not vote for HRC?

LOL you are crazy. No republican will work with her. You are living is an alternate reality.

Ah, I've got it!


When Trump cools down and reflects intelligently on the topic, he seems surprisingly weak because people are not used to this side of his otherwise brash personality.

So he can't win: if he's insulting and vulgar, he'll just have his fan base, insufficient to vote him into the Presidency; if he displays the least bit of rationality and courtesy, as he's done a few times during this debate, he will lose his appeal to the people who distrust the establishment and wish for a strong leader.

NAILED HIM!

[Anonymous]

I wish Lester Holt would ask the very simple question......WHY are you running for president?

[Anonymous]

Oooh... going for the birther issue. Love it.

[Anonymous]

Trump said his answer to the birther thing is very simple but he answer is incomprehensible.

Problem with your theory is that he hasn;t done this yet.
