It'll be fun when Democrats fill the vacuum left by Trump's down ticket dissonance.

Do you even read the shit you post?

“We were up against Russia pushing oligarchs and others to buy media. We were even up against phony environmental groups, and I’m a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand against any effort, oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you, and a lot of the money supporting that message was coming from Russia,” Clinton allegedly said.

I think you need to learn to read. That isn't what she said at all. Not that I like her support of fracking, but you can choose not to support that without having to lie about what she said.

Anyway, I don't know why I am still responding to you. Go enjoy your swimming pool of gold, and leave us alone.

I'll humour you and point out that the last few pages have been debating the degree to which Trump is controlled by Russia (and finding I think that the most likely hypothesis is he's being indirectly manipulated), not whether he's done for in the general (which barring a game-changer he probably is).

Right, the boogie man is out to get you came after the debate. He's done for was before.

So you haven't noticed the issues the down-ballot republicans face due to last weeks events? Trump is not going to win the election and now he has potentially made some of the down-ballot races much harder for the republicans who ditched him or stuck with him.
It really does appear that some of you guys really live in an alternate reality sometimes~

The only ones that are fucked are establishment GOP politicians, they made a hail mary attempt together with the Democrats to throw Trump under the bus and failed. All their names are now on a list (which they made themselves by saying they won't vote Trump) and there will be a purge after the elections regardless of the result. To be honest cutting ties with the corrupt and cancerous establishment should have happened a long time ago but better late than never. The ones that are really fucked are the Democrats that are digging themselves deeper and deeper into the hole.

Corrupt governments and ruling elites usually protect themselves and their cronies from prosecution, up until now the GOP and DNC establishments had each others backs but if Trump comes to power they are all fucked. Who cares who wins the down-ballot races as long as you stop the rot thats been eating the top government levels for 3 decades now.

And you expect a man as morally bankrupt as Trump to "clean up the rot". Man i've seen smart and less smart, but you are unreal.

As for the providential man cleaning up the corrupt elite, that's as old as fascism.

Tell me mate, how has far right nationalist populism worked out in your country?

It was leftist nationalist populism in the 90's. I'm sure you think your personal attacks and buzzwords are convincing all of your American friends that they should continue living in a Plutocracy but reality is a bit different. You can't hide this level of corruption in the modern age, it will all come tumbling down sooner or later.

All you need is someone that can't be bought out and is willing to take out the trash

Yeah, you sound like French ligueurs in the 1930's.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V1FFVWEQnSM

I was going to ask you what exactly makes you believe that a man with more scandals than the whole of Washington politicians put together will "take out the trash" but don't bother. You like Trump for the reason every far right leader succeeds: because his machisto crap makes you believe he is the savior, the great providential man that will clean up some vague elites you resent.

Seen that somewhere before.

As for the "this guy is so rich he can't be bought" it's not only unbelievably dumb and naive in itself. It's also disproven in the most spectacular fashion in recent history by Berlisconi, who actually shares quite a few traits with your orange hero.

Clinton admits in private emails that Saudi Arabia and Qatar governments help fund ISIL.
Why does your foundation keep accepting their money then Hill?

I'm a little unclear on why it would be immoral to accept money which is to be directly put to charitable purposes, even if the source is distasteful.

(If the money were directly stolen that would be different.)

You also still haven't answered this:

Why would that be a downside for nettles? He himself believes obviously false conspiracy theories about all manner of things. Presumably he'd cheer any president with a similarly tenuous grasp on the truth. All hail his most illustrious Trumpiness!

No. He just very emphatically did NOT endorse Trump (and considered voting for Clinton, but decided not to). He endorsed some random 3rd party candidate.

For a conservative radio personality like Beck, that's a virtual endorsement if not an explicit one.

Hi,

Do you know that Trump has not put a penny in his foundation since 2009 and that his foundation has spent millions of dollars given by oeople who thought they were doing charitable stuff in justice fee for trials of his that had nothing to do with said foundation?

I would like to know what you think about it.

Also, finally found some time to watch a highlight reel of the debate. It was a mess, but what struck me is that Clinton's looks are a lot more charming than they were in the first debate. Maybe it's the dark blue and grey jacket as opposed to the red, or it's something to do with her makeup, but she just comes across as a friendlier person than in the first debate.

I doubt the debate changed anything really, the notion that someone "won" seems pretty weird too.

Unrelated.
We're talking about Clinton herself stating Saudi and Qatar are funding ISIL yet the US continue to send weapons to Saudi, continue to count Saudi as an ally and Clinton allows Saudi to donate to her charity.

Anyway wikileaks just released another 1,100 emails a few minutes ago.
This is turning into a real nightmare for Clinton.
