    Apparently I have as many shoes as she does, despite this being an easily-falsified empirical question.

    Yeah you're clearly not in a long-term relationship. Shoes, toothpaste, toilet paper outages, and who does the fu*king dishes are 99% of the discussions in most marriages and long-term relationships.

    You tell him Brummie. I've been happily married for 15 yrs. [15 out of 50+ ain't bad] The only thing I regret is her having a credit card and a laptop. I should own Amazon by now! :cry:

    Reuters did another scientific poll on who won debate. Clinton 56% and Trump 26%. Pretty similar to the CNN result.

    I have a feeling this will move the numbers back to where we were after the conventions. If she continues to be solid in the upcoming debates she will gradually chip away at those 3rd party dissenters.

    I disagree. There wasn't anything shocking revealed in the debate. If you were for Trump, chances are you're still for Trump after the debate, and same for Clinton and Gary, although Gary is hard at work trying to screw that up.

    Nothing shocking was revealed, but in Democratic circles there was a mini panic brewing that things were falling apart. You can't underestimate the anxiety the health scare created. She basically erased all that anxiety in 90 minutes. She looked healthier than Trump. Is anyone in the news still talking about her health? You're not a Democrat so you don't see it from this POV. Democrats just got a little morale boost. These little poll swings don't only depend on new things being revealed. A lot of it is just mood, confidence and the narrative of who's winning or losing. People are drawn to winners and she definitely won.

    The key now is for her not to lose the next debate. Remember Romney won his first debate, but he couldn't sustain it. Obama won round 2 which creates a comeback kid vibe. You definitely can't allow Trump to do that. People are suckers for an underdog comeback narrative. Gotta kick him while he's down.

    Oh, I watched the Crew self-immolate in the last twenty minutes of a "game" against DCU.

    To add to what Boloni said, for a lot of people (by a lot I mean 5-10% of prospective voters), this was a first chance to see the candidates and the image from the debate will definetely shape their perception on both Hillary and Drumpf. Hillary looked prepared, calm, poised and versed on the issues. Drumpf looked... well very drumpfty...
    Hopefully enough undecided voters will come to the Dem side...

    Trapp slotting in for Naess killed us. Should have left the line-up the same as the NE game.

    The easiest thing is to always name Canada.

    He couldn't even name the first old Mexican presiden he kept referring too. I'm guessing V Fox

    It's startling that anyone would vote for him as a serious candidate.

    I mean, anyone who wasn't stoned.

    I'm come across a couple of news stories which mention, in passing, that those who are not firmly in any camp, saw Hillary as "more presidential." They didn't talk about what was said, just how the two looked/performed overall. And that was my observation, as well.

    Yeah. She's got the hots for Wil Trapp and Steve Clark.


    And she was counting down the days until Pulisic turned 18.

    That was the second coming of Sarah Palin! "Which newspapers do you read?" "All of them."

    At least Sarah knew (or guessed correctly) that if she blurted out something like the NY Times or Washington Post, the next question would have been about a recent article that appeared there that she (obviously) wouldn't have read.

    Johnson could have named literally anyone, like Weld did with Merkel, and if there was a follow-up on why he likes them, the usual cliches of being a "good leader" would do.

    Total fail by the stoner.

    Sorry to humiliate you, laugh at you, and end your season.

    The DCU announcers gave a shout out to @Sudžuka last night too, if I heard correctly.

    At least we made a game of it the first half. Unlike Orlando, who just rolled over and played dead last week against you.
