van jones about to lose it

One of the weirdest things was when Trump claimed Podesta shat on Clinton's instincts. Nope. Pants on fire. The emails are TOO Podesta, not from him.

Trump's surrogates are just Gore, Gore, Gore; contesting the most suspect election of the last 50 years is the same as contesting an election that hasn't happened yet.

Again...why did he say that MOST of his acccusers have been debunked?

I think he was just picking up on Clinton's use of the word "debunked" in her previous answer. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction -- if she can say it, I can say it.

Let's not lose sight of the most horrifying statement for me: "Our inner cities are a disaster. You get shot walking to the store. They have no education. They have no jobs. I'll do more for African-Americans and Latinos that she can do for a lifetime."

Fuck you, you loathsome shit.

So, four debates; four shout-outs by moderators to deficit scolds; not one question about climate change. It's really disgraceful.

You think this is where the brats abandon him? Or is someone else just gaming the polls more than they usually do?

i guess the only suspense is did he merely fully destroy himself or did he also take down a dozen or so extra republicans down ballot candidates with him after tonight?

Looking forward to every GOP elected official having to answer whether or nif they will accept election results. "Yes" answers will make them look like weak losers, "no" answers will make them look insane/dangerous. Win/win!

nah, they're in for the long haul, and like you say, online polls of this ilk are notably unscientific, people can vote 8 times etc. but it's just hilarious, as that's the type of online poll he'd usually win by like...30%

when trump loses the election i wonder if he's going to concede, or if he'll see how much more damage he can do by declaring it was illegitimate so horrible and so unfair

― arts and crafts THIS GUY (daria-g), Friday, June 3, 2016 10:31 PM

at least what he said tonight gives everyone esp the media plenty of time to prepare for this so that when it happens we all mostly shrug and go, well, we knew this loser was going to act like a loser

also lol if he holds out on conceding until the very last votes on the west coast come in & that helps dem turnout on the margins enough that people like darrell issa lose reelection

Discussed upthread I think.

Or on twitter. There was an extensive discussion of that idea somewhere.

calling people 'nasty' reminds me that trump's insult vocab hasn't been updated any more recently than the cut of his suits

It still boggles the mind how awful Donald is at this but IMO the dumbest thing he did was interject "It should have" when Clinton mentioned the Emmy thing, it pretty much singlehandedly backed up everything she's been saying this whole time
