Presidential debate October 18th Las Vegas

[aanker]

There was no button for me in this debate related poll. IMO this debate will have no effect. I think most people have already made their minds up regarding the election.

I believe that there are a lot of people who won't admit to friends, family, and pollsters that they support 'The Donald' - I call them 'Closet Trump Supporters'. Furthermore, Trump has attracted a lot of uncounted 'first time voters'. His rallies are packed with thousands, and thousands more are turned away. Her supporters appear to number in the hundreds, and they don't seem enthusiastic.

Someone mentioned Jesse Ventura. There is the Jesse factor too; people may vote Trump to spite the establishment just as my late Dad did. He was surprised the next morning to see that Jesse won. I was living in another state at the time.

I don't think that anyone can say that the third debate won't be entertaining. Trump is after all a master entertainer. This final debate will also have a good unbiased moderator in Chris Wallace.

Sorry if I strayed a little from only commenting on 'the 3rd debate'. I also wrote about other contributing factors to take into consideration with the third debate in calculating the final result.

I don't see any other outcome being likely except for Trump being Trump.

He'll excite his base and lose the election.

Clinton only has to let him go on and the damage will be done.

He's shown himself to be his own worst enemy.

The Jesse Ventura Effect. Finally, do not discount the electorate’s ability to be mischievous or underestimate how any millions fancy themselves as closet anarchists once they draw the curtain and are all alone in the voting booth. It’s one of the few places left in society where there are no security cameras, no listening devices, no spouses, no kids, no boss, no cops, there’s not even a friggin’ time limit. You can take as long as you need in there and no one can make you do anything. You can push the button and vote a straight party line, or you can write in Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. There are no rules. And because of that, and the anger that so many have toward a broken political system, millions are going to vote for Trump not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can. Just because it will upset the apple cart and make mommy and daddy mad. And in the same way like when you’re standing on the edge of Niagara Falls and your mind wonders for a moment what would that feel like to go over that thing, a lot of people are going to love being in the position of puppetmaster and plunking down for Trump just to see what that might look like. Remember back in the ‘90s when the people of Minnesota elected a professional wrestler as their governor? They didn’t do this because they’re stupid or thought that Jesse Ventura was some sort of statesman or political intellectual. They did so just because they could. Minnesota is one of the smartest states in the country. It is also filled with people who have a dark sense of humor — and voting for Ventura was their version of a good practical joke on a sick political system. This is going to happen again with Trump.

Yeah, yeah, I just didn't want to mention you by name so you wouldn't be associated with my little semi 'off topic' post.

Just trying to protect you baby! LOL

Nice finds btw.

I wonder if Trump is a hypocrite:http://www.dictionary.com/browse/hypocrite

a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

He has pointed out that he thinks Hillary is on some kind of performance enhancing drug, but what about the second debate and his sniffles?

Could Donald himself be using cocaine?

Just a few more hours and we will see if he has the same sniffles
