    On top of praising the ruthlessness of Putin and the Chinese government when they slaughtered people at Tiananmen square, Trump claimed to be one of the biggest corrupting figures in US political history.

    "praising" was a strong word but what else do you have a problem with?

    I'd be interested in hearing an answer to that too, I honestly don't know how anyone could defend those statements.

    When I say that he was "praising" them, he used the same adjective for their leadership that he uses for his own leadership. He bashes Obama and others for being weak and says that he'll be strong then talks about Putin and the Chinese who slaughtered their own people as being strong.....How is that not praise?

    As usual, I did not watch the debate.

    Question: Is it safe to say Trump did not puncture himself?

    Among Trump supporters? Of course not. There's literally nothing he could have done that would change the mind of those people. He could be up there eating babies and they would be convinced that it was a great performance from him.

    When it comes to real people, I think there were at least a few moments where he looked really bad......like praising mass slaughter as "strong leadership" and the fact that his math is always bad.

    It was a good debate. It's nice to have a debate without constant interruption. I didn't think CNN was capable of a decent debate, but they pulled it off.

    Trump was on his best behavior. Some might say he was as presidential as anyone but Abe Lincoln.

    [rquoter]Trust me, Bob. When I rejuvenate our military, Mexico's not going to be playing with us with war, that I can tell you. Mexico is not playing with us with war. [/rquoter]

    That's a very passive aggressive threat but a still threat.

    I live in Minnesota and know passive aggressive when I hear it. :)

    I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you can help me out, yeah? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how f-cking crazy I really am!"? Yeah. Do you guys do that?

    because if you look closely at those crowds, they are all middle aged white people. You can't win elections anymore with one demographic.

    If you support Donald Trump, you have sold your soul. You should be ashamed.

    Not really shocking that I haven't heard an answer.

    Trump on Washington corruption: "I gave large sums of money to both sides. I don't want to look ethically challenged so I bribed both sides equally with lots and lots of money. Now, I'm running for president as champion of the little man... I mean big... it's big... there's no problem there I guarantee it!"
