Hey Harleigh!

AdLib 7 days ago

How’s by you?

AdLib 7 days ago

The strangest and feels like the longest election ever!

AdLib 7 days ago

You’ll have to start after Thanksgiving 2016 for 2020!

AdLib 7 days ago

You may have to get hundreds of millions from Wall Street though to get to that point!

AdLib 7 days ago

Absolutely! A big reverse con job on the 1%!

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey, if a moron like Trump can do it, how hard can it be?

AdLib 7 days ago

Obama is singular after a string of disappointments. And yes, the worst can win so we have to work hard at GOTV for Hillary.

AdLib 7 days ago

And Hillary has to nail each debate.

AdLib 7 days ago

Yes, and try to present the big picture on Trump trying to coon the public with this new BS act of his.

AdLib 7 days ago

It’s definitely serious but I do feel that once the voters who are just noow thinking about the race see the debates and how Hillary nails what a beast he is, I think she moves well ahead of him for good.

AdLib 7 days ago

Yep, not in the top 10 of best goverments ever!

AdLib 7 days ago

Trump’s coonstant outrageousness distracts the public from focusing on any one thing so Hillary needs to paint the full picture of Trump in the debates. How he’s just conning the public now but has proven he’s a racist, chauvinist pig.

AdLib 7 days ago

I don’t expect Chris Wallace will do anything other than pave a path for Trump’s BS. But I hope by then, the last debate, Trump is already in a nosedive.

AdLib 7 days ago

When people see the difference between Hillary with facts at her fingertips and specific solutions as opposed to his dictitorial, “Daddy will solve everything, peons!” it should hurt him big time.

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey KT!

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh, yes! She needs to draw the straight line from his Birtherism to his bigotry against Mexicans as rapists and criminals, to banning Muslims to hating on BLM to hating on Latino judges to saying women sexually harassed should quit their jobs. If she only points out what the MSM won’t, I think she can put a stake through his heart.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – My birth certificate is hard to read, it’s in Arabic.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – I think Trump is just trying to scare Cooper out of being tough on him. Trump can’t afford to skip debates. He remembers losing in IA after skipping a debate.

AdLib 7 days ago

نعم فعلا

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh – America would be set back 60 years if he won. I am confident it won’t happen and maybe it’s not the worst thing that Trump is close to her, if too many voters thought it was a slam dunk for Hillary, maybe some wouldn’t bother to vote.

AdLib 7 days ago

Then Trump could win.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – Agreed, Cooper and all the rest saw how Lauer was torn to shreds for treating Trump with a deference. Cooper should be doubly inspired to go after him now.

AdLib 7 days ago

إيرين ذهبت إلى براغ

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh – I’m positive that Trump will go after the mods during the debate since that was such a winner during the GOP debates…but that doesn’t play in GE debates.

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey Murph!

AdLib 7 days ago

Harleigh – Wouldn’t be bad if Hillary reminded Dem voters what happened when they didn’t turn out to clearly elect Gore and come out too win in 2010.

AdLib 7 days ago

Not worried about the audience, in GE debates, they’re not permitted to applaud and cheer. Which will take a lot of juice out of Trump.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Didn’t Trump agree to pay millions if he proved he was born in the US?

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Yes, saw some of that and it’s good for Hillary. She needs to tie Trump to all the neo-nazis, Klansmen and bigots of the Alt Right to Trump.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – Yep, that’s their mascot!

AdLib 7 days ago

Hey glenn!

AdLib 7 days ago

In 10 days, the hammer drops on Trump. That’s when the first debate is and I think Hillary will rip open the Trump con job on America then. The Phony Emperor will be shown to be butt naked.

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – Thanks for being so determined! Usually, that issue is connected to memory/cache issues on your computer. Clearing your cache and restarting your browser should fix that.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – You heard that from who?

AdLib 7 days ago

I’ll take the bet from anyone who thinks Trump will win the debate. He can only win GOP debates because they’re only insult fests. He doesn’t have the tools to win a GE debate.

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – I always look forward to Friday nights for the same reason! Glad you’re here!

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – Yep, the MSM is now a corporate traitor to our democracy, meddling in it to manipulate greater profits over damaging the country.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Oh good, I thought it came from a legitimate source!

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – These are the same blabbering pundits whoo swore Trump couldn’t win the GOP primary. Very few pundits have any credibility or valid insight in this cycle. They’re trying to look smarter than others by predicting that as long as Trump doesn’t do anything horrible he wins. First, without teleprompters, he will say something horrible as he always does. Second, voters will see a smart, well informed candidate beside a babbling, ignorant phony. No one cares what the frequently wrong pundits say afterwards.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – I think it’s fantastic for Hillary for Trump to be inflated to be expected to win. With lowered expectations on her and raised expectations on Trump, she can’t help but win.

AdLib 7 days ago

Seeya Harleigh!

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – I even think that whatever he does, Trump can’t help but lose. If he is out of control and runs roughshod over the mod and the debate, he’ll look like the unstable person he is as Hillary looks Presidential. I don’t believe he can stay calm withoout teleprompters, never has happend before. When he’s attacked, he goes mental.

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – Airhorns are a good idea, throwing a baggie of horse manure at Trump’s head when he goes over might be even better.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – Which is why Hillary and her campaign needs to focus on a theme for attacking Trump at the debate and cherry pick a set of Trump’s worst statements to hammer over and over. Trying to hit everything will diffuse the attack. If the theme is, “You can’t believe anything this hateful man says,” if she can disqualify every word he says from then on, he’s toast. Destroy his mouth and there is no Trump.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Like the idea of cutting mikes of but then the networks carrying the debates wouldn’t get the real unnecessary conflict they want for ratings.

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – Remember Colbert’s definition of “truthiness”? They believe what they want to believe, what makes them feel best to believe or validates them and their hatred best. Truth and reality have no weight with these types, hence their support for Trump, the most obvious con man who’s ever run for the Presidency.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Agreed, standing together on the stage, Trump will look like an uninformed loon compared to the smart and composed Hillary.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Have opened that article to read later, thanks!

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – For a Presidential Debate, a candidate should go in with multiple strategies and approaches to use depending on what their opponent says. Hillary will have a number of prepared and hopefully effective attacks on Trump, some may be tempered and some may be stronger, depending if she needs to parry a hateful attack oor Trump tries to act like he’s not Trump. She should in either case, have a calmly reasoned presentation of why Trump can’t be believed and is putting on an act and an aggressive attack on him as a promoter of bigotry and division. You have to have many arrows in your quiver at a GE debate, some you may not use, some you will definitely need to use when appropriate.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – I can’t think oof a debate when Hillary lost her cool. She has been very hostile at times and even shaded the truth too attack her opponent but I can’t say she ever came off as losing her cool.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Trump without teleprompters is a ticking time bomb that will eventually go off. Don’t think Hillary or even the moderators won’t say things that get under his skin and we have all seen how thin skinned he is. He doesn’t have enough self-coontrool, he’s been this beast for 70 years, you can’t just turn it off suddenly for hours.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Yes and just because these white bigots have won MoH, it doesn’t wash away their bigotry. If you heard some of them talk, it was clear that they likely don’t even know anyone of color.

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – Good question. Even if the MSM won’t go after Trump’s so-called charity, the NY AG is going after him and I wouldn’t be surprised for Judge Curiel to finally release depositions before the election as he should. There are a variety of October Surprises brewing to explode in Trump’s face.

AdLib 7 days ago

Kt – Truth! Taking the purple heart showed his callousness.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Imagine what the sprint team to the election will ook like for Hillary. Pres. Obama, Warren, Sanders, Michele Obama, Biden, etc. will be storming the battleground states promoting Hillary. Meanwhile, Trump will have Pence, Giuliani, Christie, David Duke and neo-nazis pushing for him. Which side smells like victory?

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – You’re expecting the MSM to treat Trump using fairness and reason. He’s their cash cow, oof course they won’t pile on him for doing and saying more horrible things than any other candidate in history, he’s their meal ticket!

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – You mean Sanders is saying that?

AdLib 7 days ago

Hillary could really talk to vets in the debate to list why they shouldn’t support Trump. His fraud in noot coontributing to their charities until caught months later, attack on McCain, attack on Gold Star family, insulting the Generals, insulting our military, etc. That should be used in a debate focused on foreign policy and hammered home.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Yes, Joy is unapologetic and doesn’t hesitate to disect Trump and his lies from the first moment she speaks. Very pleased to see that, many MSNBC shills like Thomas Roberts try to act like they are being fair by attacking Trump surrogates than pushing Trump propaganda at Hillary surrogates. Such sell outs, betraying themselves and their profession. Ed Murrow never made an argument why McCarthy had a valid point!

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – I think it’s clear that the press, which was supposed to be our democracies safety net if all else failed our democracy, has abandoned their responsibility to the people to promote truth and uncover lies. So that leaves us as citizens to spread the word, a few decent journalists and mainly, it’s up to Hillary to accomplish this first major test of leadership, standing up to an enemy of our society and democracy and taking him down. The debates are crucial for her to take on Trump the way most of the MSM won’t and I think she will do so with great success.

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – Yep, wish we had Murrow, Thompson, Carlin and Stewart around today…hey, wait a minute! Jon Stewart, get your ass back out here, your coountry needs you!

AdLib 7 days ago

No kidding! WTF is Jon Stewart doing shoveling cow dung when he could be dealing with Trump’s campaign…oh…now I get it, he thinks he is doing that!

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph, you said: “KT…Trump is saying that the focus must be on Keeping Trump out of the Oval Office and that any vote that does not serve that purpose is a vote wasted. ” You meant Sanders was saying that, right?

AdLib 7 days ago

glenn – Didn’t see that but it’s brilliant! “Shields up, Mr. Sulu! Fire all phasers!”

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Hillary needs to do a joint appearance with Sanders, that would be a big and important move. She needs to energize Bernie’s voters, reawaken them and Tim Kaine sure ain’t gonna do that.

AdLib 7 days ago

“To go where no con man has gone before!”

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – I’m serious when I say that the US would be set back 50 years if Trump won, when it comes to open discrimination against all minority groups, a huge loss in the growth our economy, back to wars all over the world and a deficit skyrocketing and bringing back America to a pre-Medicare, pre-Social Security time. In the end, this is why Trump won’t win the late deciders…as long as Hillary hammers him on all of that.

AdLib 7 days ago

I would rather stay at the Hilton than Trump Taj Mahal…because that went bankrupt anyway.

AdLib 7 days ago

Murph – Say hi to the tractor for me! Have a great weekend!

AdLib 7 days ago

KT – This is why I stress the important of Hillary having joint appearances with Warren and Sanders. There are many Millenials who don’t consider themselves part of any group but supported Bernie and support Warren. Hillary needs to activate them for her campaign and frankly, she can’t do it herself. She should be with them!

AdLib 7 days ago

Nite all! Seeya next week!!!
