What utterly baffles me is those who insist that Trump "tells it like it is" when he lies more often than any other candidate in this cycle and perhaps in all of history.  To wit:

I am unsurprised by Populism, it's why unattractive comparisons are made. 
I am surprised that many people have high hopes for their candidate who seems manipulative of them. 
Perhaps they're right.

The debates are coming! The debates are coming! Im looking forward to this. Ive wanted to see clinton and trump next to each other since this race started, its not a cage match but it will have to do. First of all, i want to see if hillary can stand in one place for 90 minutes without having a coughing fit, passing out or having some kind wierd medical emergency. It may be unpresidential, but i would love to see trump bring up all of the scandals and dirt on live television to clintons face. It should be entertaining.

Skull, you are deplorable.
exterminate all rational thought.....

QuoteNow, after years of spreading the lie that President Barack Obama was born in Africa, Trump says Hillary Clinton did it first

that is actually true as it turns out http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/79322/clarifying-clinton-attacks-obama/

Hillary did good I was surprised. Honestly I'm a bit relieved they came across as more or less conventional candidates. He's maybe a little too outside, she's definitely a little too inside but whatever. It's slightly less of a s**tshow now I've decided

Trump is perhaps the most egotistical human being I've ever seen in my life.  Hillary was rather smug and condescending. I'll concede her the edge in the debate, but I don't think the whole thing moved the dial that much, to be honest.

Well-I don't think Trump will win. If he gets the popular vote really doesn't matter. The Republicans don't even like Trump-and THIS is why he will not win-

Nearly every time, the popular vote winner also wins the Electoral College - but it all depends on how the votes fall state by state.  All but a few states do "winner take all" where the statewide winner of the popular vote gets all of that state's electoral votes.  But the number of electoral votes per state is based on how many Senators and representatives they have - and the number of representatives is based on population!

Yeah-but this election is fixed-remember?  :wink:
Actually-I think Trump may win.  :bluesad: And if Hillary wins I'll still have the sad blue face.  :bluesad:
