I think we all came to the conclusion that there is not much to do for people who consider Trump a morally better and more suited person to be potus than Clinton. You could show zeo or NukeD a video of Trump gang raping a 6 years old with kkk members singing death to n..., they would keep screaming "Benghazi!!" Someone not convinced by everything we have seen (and the list is really fucking long) that this guy is a narcissistic clown won't be convinced by any new material. | ||

Does it really matter if its all over the media the last 48h that Trump has been rigging polls? Does it really matter that nobody cares about a political poll on a hippie Starcraft forum outside of that forum? You're not implying.... gasp! Someone might be using underhanded tactics to reaffirm confirmation bias in a community that reveals in victim complexes and has a long history of making shit up to lift their ego's? Damn, Putin must be going on that hippie/communist Brood War forum to shill for Trump, because anyone with even minuscule knowledge of forum culture here would know the outcome of poll rigging here. | ||

I think it's pretty hilarious that this convoluted non-argument that contradicts what happened after the last debate constitutes evidence of meddling to you, yet I'm betting you still don't think there's evidence Russia was behind the DNC hacks. | ||

Trump has so many scandals out in the open there's no point in bringing up stuff that isn't confirmed. This case imo is more akin to the anti-hillary scandals in terms of trustworthiness, and I generally reject those. | ||

It what kind alternative reality do you guys live? You do realize that Juanita Broddrick testified under oath not once but twice that Bill Clinton did not rape her? And that her various statements were contradictory? Bill Clinton had several known (and probably several undisclosed) extramarital affairs. His position as an elected official impacts the power dynamic between him and his counterpart in a weird and bad way. However, since I believe in the rule of law unlike some of the purported lawyers in this thread, in my eyes he's innocent of sexual assault. He's not just innocent until proven guilty, he's already been proved innocent by our judicial system. | ||

It what kind alternative reality do you guys live? do you read what you respond to? Ayaz is not talking about locker room talk, he is talking about Trump allegedly raping a 13 year old back in the 90s. There's just as much legs to this story (Trump raping a 13 year old) as there is to the idea that Hillary threatened the women Bill raped to silence them. | ||

Get your shit together, man. Obamacare: Repeal it. Replace it. Speaking at the Iowa Freedom Summit in January, Trump said Obamacare is a catastrophe that must be repealed and replaced. In 2011, Trump suggested that the health insurance industry have more ability to cross state lines. In “The America We Deserve” Trump wrote that he supported universal healthcare and a system that would mirror Canada’s government-run healthcare service. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/media/what-does-donald-trump-believe-where-the-candidate-stands-on-10-issues | ||

It seems you missed the part where Hillary threathen thems, I'll rewrite it for you so your selective memory cannot avoid it this time: and Hillary threathen them to keep silence Broaddrick stated that Clinton raped her and that Hillary Clinton knew about it, and tried to threaten Broaddrick into remaining silent. She claimed that she started giving some interviews in 2015 because Hillary Clinton's statement that victims of sexual assault should be believed angered her.[7] Random rape accusation 30 days before elections is an obvious hoax. Unlike Bill who was actually prosecuted and settled. | ||

I didn't think either candidate would start receiving a post-debate bump in the polls because I thought the debate was a lot closer than the first one, but 538 already has a small increase for Hillary, from 81% pre-debate to 82% post-debate. Let's see if it'll reach 83-85%! http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ | ||

Unlike Bill who was actually prosecuted and settled. The rape accusation against Trump has been going forward for at least 2 months now I think (a quick google makes it sound like it was brought in June initially since Trump denied it back then), it wasn't brought 30 days before the election. They've tried to bring it two other times. | ||
