Very sound and edifying advice for voters I think

Yes she was very indignant about Russia (Hillary Clinton now see’s Russians behind everything, and yet we should be concerned because Donald Trump won’t give a straight answer about accepting the election results
). Meanwhile, her own house could use some cleaning! I thought I caught Hillary even looking guilty a few times tonight like she got her hand caught in the cookie jar!

He did land one deft blow over the Clinton foundation.Yes she was very indignant about Russia (
But then it became a shout-a-thon harangue of a slogging match again over Haiti after she hit back about the Trump Foundation paying for his lawsuits.

A fighter if there is proof! I think he realizes now the unscrupulous people he is up against. Any other Republican would quietly go home even though they know they were duped.

A fighter?
More like a “rebel without a cause” (just not anywhere near as pretty as James Dean

I think the last time an election WAS TRULY CONTESTED, his name was AL Gore.

Or a zany clown. I don’t know why all these spooky clowns keep hogging the media…
But seriously. Again I say the winner was the moderator. Chris Wallace was very good. Firm with the audience and both candidates and I think very fair. I was half-expecting a Fox News shill.
Clinton was the only one who answered with any substance. Trump’s answers were vague and nebulous - “we’re gonna make X great, believe me. World class” That doesn’t say anything on substance.
The “nasty woman” comments under his breath were uncalled for in adult civil discourse.
But I also didn’t like how Clinton kept re-rolling over Trump’s controversies. Surely there’s a time and place to mention them. But they came up at odd times.
Ultimately I don’t think the debate will change much. Trump will go into November 8th with these polling numbers. He didn’t help his cause at all. He melted down in the second half and gave the media sound bites that he’ll be raked across the coals for weeks for. Clinton didn’t deliver a knockout punch, but she didn’t do poorly.

Trump won again hands down. Clinton clearly looked uncomfortable many times.

I’d have been very disappointed in Donald Trump if he simply said he’d accept a Clinton victory in November. How many times did Republican candidates in the primaries make a case that HC needs to go to prison ? Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, they all pretty much held that opinion. So if she wins in 3 weeks, all that get’s forgotten and we get behind our new president ?

I’m sure it must be Hillary Clinton that’s to blame for the upsurge in creepy clowns. Just as she is for, you know, ISIS and the birther movement and the financial crisis and influenza and war and famine and Trump’s terrible dyed-blonde hair-do and everything else that’s bad in the world
All excellent points that you’ve raised and a penetrating analysis to boot.

And that was when the election wasn’t settled due to the close vote in FL and an automatic recount and with that, the Electoral College up in the air. Gore had won the popular vote of course. That was Trump’s major downfall tonight. He should have said barring an unusually rare circumstance, yes I most certainly will accept the outcome because that’s what makes America already great.
Well that was a downfall along with him saying he didn’t know any of the women accusing him of sexual assault and then his interruption of Hillary Clinton saying she was a nasty women. I know all of that plays well to his immovable base but I don’t see where the needle was moved tonight.

I fully understand this is a Catholic forum and the great importance faithful Catholics place on the abortion issue. But if Roe is overturned, what about the religious freedom of all those people of faith whose faiths don’t share the Catholic faith’s position? I know poster Meltzerboy has more than once explained his faith’s beliefs about abortion and there are mainline Protestants whose faiths have a different view on abortion than does the Catholic Church.

And constitutional government if her adversary makes good with his promises.
I mean, let’s reflect on this for a moment…
Since Clinton is now beating him by sizeable margins in the polls, Trump questions her right to run for the presidency, suggests that he need not accept the outcome if she proves victorious on election day and claims that his first act as president - if he does win - will be to lock her up in jail.
If you ask me, that is one hell of a serious threat to undermine the very basis of your republic and the values it was designed to uphold - not to mention the basic and universal conventions of fair competition.

THIS. Yes.
No true Catholic, no true Christian, could ever think to vote for someone who believes it is acceptable to take the lives of the smallest and most defenseless among us.

There are those of other Christian faiths who wouldn’t agree. People of faith who even your church calls Christian.

What I read just hours ago is that Trump is ahead of her in the polls.
And I haven’t even seen it debated that she rigged the election against Bernie Sanders. I’m sorry, but cheating and rigging elections are NOT 'FAIR COMPETITION.'
I’m no Bernie Sanders fan, but I would like to know how it is she’s allowed to run as the Democratic nominee at all, if it’s known she rigged…read, CHEATED…in the primaries. Why wasn’t there a recount? Why weren’t the ballots re-cast–fairly this time!–to determine the real winner? Why is someone who cheated allowed to run at all?
When there’s evidence of cheating and voter fraud, the results…make that ‘results’…SHOULD be questioned.
