    What worse agency to be endorsed by? Seriously a bunch of dumb asses by and large- no joke. Anyway- they say he's "not afraid to tell it like it is" oh you mean dumping vast amounts of treasure into a wall and border patrol and hiring thousands of new ICE and... wait a minute- this means PROMOTIONS FOR EVERYBODY!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Donald, how do you stop cyber attacks?
        "He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester and certainly cyber is one of them."

          After watching some of the debate, I do somewhat understand why Trump appeals to people, especially un- or low-educated people and many people that have lost their jobs in manufacturing. He's an awful person and would be an awful president, but I get the appeal. I also get why Clinton doesn't appeal to many. She's awful as a candidate and hard to listen to with her cadence.
          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              I thought the Donald was terrible last night. Despite his rumbling and bumbling and offering nothing of substance, I thought all he had to do to win was to make Hillary squirm. She, despite Donald's being a terrible human being himself, has been on the defensive for much of the Spring and Summer for a variety of flaws that have followed the Clinton's for almost 30 years now. He had a full quiver of arrows that should have been canned responses and the softballs were lobbed one after another and he completely whiffed. For instance, there was an actual question about cyber security and do you think that the Donald brought up the email issue? For hell's sake, the woman has stated that she isn't technologically advanced enough to understand what was happening with her email and this is who half of America is considering voting for and who they want fighting cyber security warfare? Trump didn't even bring up the issue during this question and answer/rebuttals....freaking moron.

              I don't believe 75% of the shit Hillary says but she was far more composed and presidential than Donald. She is light years ahead of him in terms of at least understanding the issues. However, she is god awful at delivering punches. WTF, was that bit about...."Donald, I think you just accused me of preparing for this debate and you know what I will also prepare to be president of the United States." It was a canned response that was just stupid given the context and then her drones in the audience clap and cheer after a really really awkward comment. Just bizarre.

              Two terrible, despicable human beings debating to be the most powerful person on the earth. I can't believe this is the best we have to offer. Hillary won the debate in my mind by quite a bit, but at the end of the day I mostly just feel embarrassed to be an American today. A lot of the world sees us as arrogant and cocky and in the past 70-100 years we have kinda had a reason to be arrogant and cocky because we kicked everyone's ass at anything that really mattered. Maybe now we are just arrogant and cocky has beens and Hillary and Donald may represent what America really is.

                Good riff, imanihojin. I guess we shouldn't be surprised by this election. This is a country that looked at the respective resumes of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama and chose the latter. Trump, for all of his faults, is smart enough to know that most voters are stupid.

                  Trump did not look good. Between bragging about all his properties, acting like it was ok to stiff the architect, saying if he didn't taxes it was because he was smart, arguing with Lester about stop and frisk and his handling of Hillary's charge that he speaks poorly of women combined to equal an awful performance.

                    Are these debates going to matter? Will they change many minds regardless how well one of the candidates may do as opposed to the other? Or will they just sell lots of popcorn?

                      When Hillary was responding to the "cyber" question, I was thinking to myself, "Oh my, he is going to crush her here with the e-mail server thing. What a perfect setup for him." Then he completely whiffed and gave that horrible rambling response that was so bad it is all over social media today. WTH does his 10-yr-old son have to do with anything?

                        Trump couldn't give a decent answer because he's an idiot.

                            Yeah, my vote wasn't changed from one idiot to the other. In fact, my vote hasn't changed from the beginning. #FeelTheJohnson I just caught part of the debate because I was wondering how the twitter streaming thing was going to work. It was kind cool watching the debate and seeing all the dumb comments people were making about it realtime. The networks need to put up tweets in realtime as well before people finally stop paying the cable bill. Of course, maybe it is too late.
