Donald Trump's Debate Performance

My Fist-Size Is More Than Sufficient 
For Most Of the 
Rug-Munchers Out There

As per usual, I did not watch the debate.Not a second of it. I have not watched a second of any of the debates.

I do read about them, and I watch clips here and there, but they're a joke.

What matters to me, at this point, is destroying the GOP. That's why I have been in support of Donald Trump.

But if Ace's estimation of Donal Trump's debate performance last night is, at all, accurate, then it appears to me Donald Trump might not be up to the job of Presidentin', much less getting an erection without Viagra:
Donald Trump. Repudiated the Jeff Sessions Immigration Plan -- which was the only reason to support him -- by declaring he was "changing" and "softening" it because we need all these highly-skilled people to take our jobs. 
Then said he would be "flexible" on the wall and deporting illegals and pretty much admitted he'd said as much to the New York Times editorial board, and then, in case you were unsure if you'd heard him right, praised Marco Rubio's Amnesty plan as "fine" and a good opening bargaining position. 
Kept talking about his hand-size and then, just when you thought this was getting weird, brought it back into a more sensible area by assuring the world that his penis size was sufficient for most. 
He then added some substance to his foreign policy platform by declaring that he would force American soldiers to break the law and murder children. On other issues, he was less reassuring. 
But this next part is the part that got to me. Did this really happen? (Because, if it did, it would not surprise me at all, given how much Mitt Romney and Vincente Fox seem to hate Donald Trump.)
His answers to questions about Trump University and the budget were somewhat uncomfortable to watch, in much the same way that it is uncomfortable to watch a bus full of circus clowns crash into a school for blind children and even worse the clowns were doing their "Gasoline Comedy" act that day and now all the blind children are on fire and the clowns are trying to squirt water on them with their stupid lapel-flowers but the flowers are just squirting out more gas and the children are crying tears of fire out of their Unseeing Dead Eyes and holy shit a couple of the clowns look like they have boners and they're chasing around the fiery blind children trying to rub up on them with these bobbling clown-boners with big red bulbs on their tips. 
In other words, as Trump would say: Not the best. Really not terrific. A real mess! Grade: I don't even know how to even start grading this. As far as a letter grade, I give a red X carved crudely through the face of a rotting pig with a bunch of stripper-glitter tossed on it.
Dear God!

Oh boy, I must have been watching a different debate.

Trump's performance was by no means awesome. He actually looked tired and sort of "meh" about it. But:

"Donald Trump. Repudiated the Jeff Sessions Immigration Plan -- which was the only reason to support him -- by declaring he was "changing" and "softening" it because we need all these highly-skilled people to take our jobs."

He didn't change his position. He said if there aren't Americans for the job then for high skilled work you'd need to get people into the country. That's the same position he's had all along on his website and during his campaign. Problem with Trump is, like I was saying in the other thread, he automatically goes on the defensive and when he heard Kelly's (who was out for blood last night and did way worse than anything Crowley did in 2012) question saying "you have changed your position" he went "year I'm softening up on some positions". He in reality wasn't. I think he blinked because from the beginning he looked like he was trying really hard to come across as more palatable and more calm (all that went out the window when the moderators and the candidates kept attacking him).

"Then said he would be "flexible" on the wall and deporting illegals and pretty much admitted he'd said as much to the New York Times editorial board, and then, in case you were unsure if you'd heard him right, praised Marco Rubio's Amnesty plan as "fine" and a good opening bargaining position."

Yeah, I think Ace of Spades and I were watching two different debates. He didn't say Rubio's amnesty plan is fine. He said that "flexibility" is fine since he had just been attacked on flexibility by none other than Rubio himself. He basically pointed out that Rubio had been flexible himself.

Now he did say he would be flexible on the "height of the wall". He never said he'd be flexible on deportation. Kelly kept going "how flexible are you then?" and he kept saying "not very flexible".

Thing with Trump University was one of the worst attacks by a moderator against a candidate I have ever seen. Kelly stopped the debate and went on an attack spree against Trump with quoting various sources saying he was a "con-artist" (that's the same words the establishment has been using via Romney and Rubio). Didn't let Trump speak, contradicted Trump. I mean, come on.

That isn't a debate, that is an assassination attempt.

I am more worried about his poor decision to actually attend the debate.

His performance was by no means good. But he didn't say anything out of the ordinary. Weird thing is, he for a minute thought he was softening even though he isn't.

So, the clown genocide thing didn't happen then, right?

I'm with Nico on this one.

I watched almost the entire debate. Missed only the first 10 minutes.

BTW, I've watched few of the debates all the way through. Too much political theatre for me.

Nicoenarg said...

Haha. Depends how you look at it. Remember how Crowley (or is it Crowly?) shut Romney up by telling him he was wrong (even though he was right)?

Now imagine Crowley telling Obama to just sit tight and then going to town with Romney saying "well actually you are a liar, and everyone agrees with me, you are deceiving people and basically worse than Madoff. Let me quote to you Romney this quote that says that you are a con-artist and it says that not only are you a con-artist but anyone who says anything positive about you is just blinded by what you say and not realizing you are a con artist". Anytime Romney tries to say something she says "standby, I'm not done trying to destroy you". Everyone is clapping and cheering this show on because the audience is Republican establishment (only 50 tickets were given to outsiders).

Now obviously this isn't 2012 and we don't have Crowley and Obama against Romney, instead we had Kelly, Rubio, Cruz and the audience against Trump.

I mean it was an ambush. Keeping all that in mind, I think he did "fine". It wasn't a disaster. Where I would be worried is that he walked into this trap even though he avoided it the last time around, what gives?

Nicoenarg said...

Oh and to answer your question, no I don't think any clown genocide thing happened (LOL).

Romney just fizzled out completely after the Crowley thing. Trump kept trying to fight. He looked tired though so he didn't come across as aggressive as he should have.

Like Epa said though, there was no substance to this debate either. It was pure and simple FOX news's attempt to get Trump to drop out.

I mean if you're up for vomiting a little, maybe watch the first 30 minutes or so of the debate?

Debate was a food fight.
PERIOD.

Everything I said in my quick review the other day was true and is true.

I have to make up my mind by TOMORROW 4-5PM

If Trump can deliver on EITHER of (ESPECIALLY) Trade/Economy or Border Security/Terrorism ..how the FUCK .. HOW THE FUCK can I not be ready to take a chance on him, knowing and HATING he is an authoritarian, a braggart, who prolly ignored a bad real estate school he rented his name to, and whose ego will complicate every single issue.

But what PISSES ME OFF is that I am in that position because other people we all trusted with the nation DID SHIT, and I don't want hear their excuses because this has been going on since the 80's

So, fuck them.
They have left me with little choice.

But Donald, if you FUCK this up, you will be LONGING for the days when the Greeks picked 1 leader every so often for EXILE.
Because if you DO fuck it up, WHAT COMES NEXT?

Last nights debate left a bad taste in the mouth of typically apolitical folks. Today, for the first time, two friends who usually vote the full dem ticket (life long union members) admitted they are voting Trump this time around. As unsavory as the poltical climate has become, it's refreshing to see folks like this come to their senses. Interesting times, indeed.
