'big money' is what exactly ? this is a trope trotted out by those speaking to the mentally challenged and normally answered with some sort of affimative grunt

politicians have been paid off since the word go and if you think any of the legal bribery operating under the auspices of lobbying will disappear under any candidate then you are mistaken - I am sure there is a lobbying group to back the continuation of lobbying

apart from lobbying being in the financial interests of the politicians , anyone of them who steps out of line will get lobbyed against

I can see the bigger vision.

On November the 9th you'll be searching for a new forum to spout shit on, while wiping the tears away over your new gambling debts.

The election is a foregone conclusion.

The house and Senate will remain controlled by the (R)s so hopefully there will be some balance.

The less the president, house and Senate do, the better.

And you have always written like ^

Trump claims the election is rigged.

I know it's a sad day for you Trumpeteers, so here's a little musical dedication just for you.

I'm trying to work out which one I would prefer to put the fucking nut on more:

Slimy Eric Trump or Greasy Donald Trump Jr.

A tough call but my vote goes to junior.

I get the feeling that by the time Donald and Ivana got around to making Eric they'd run out of chromosomes.

He suggested that it was unfair for the debate moderator to ask him to commit to accepting the results of the election.

"That was sort of an unprecedented question," Trump said.

Donald Trump says he will accept results of election - 'if I win' - World - NZ Herald News

It's also unprecedented for a large, small-handed, orange baboon to openly cast aspersions on the election process with zero objective evidence or fact to back himself up with.

"Bottom line," Trump said, "we're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win so big. We're going to win so big."

Yeah but nah.

He is a narcissistic - if he goes down, he will try to take down with him as much as possible.

in English please, with subtitles for the hard of thinking.

It is difficult to determine what media to believe any longer.

The LA Times has it at a dead heat!

If Trump wins, it will seriously rattle the big fat cats behind Hillary.

Putin will have a new buddy, and there wont be a war on the horizon.

Seems like a reasonable scenario, me thinks.

Very clearly debatable.

I say this whole Presidential debate is rigged. They been talking about things that no one is really concerned about or that we all already know. Why are they not bringing topics which is of interest and vital to U.S. security.
For example:

How many plastic surgeries and tons of Botox did Hillary have ? Will her face ex- or implode in Air Force One when traveling ?



Who's the clown that does Donald's hair ? Will his hairstylist be blamed and sued for loosing the election ? Or if he wins, will he get Putin to do his hair ?



These are the real questions that need to be discussed. The rest is just Bulltox.

Himself.

No it's not. The LA Times has had Trump +7 when *everyone* else has Clinton from +3 to +7.

Either they are the only ones who are right, or they have been titanically wrong from the start.

I do notice that even Fox News don't use them though.

"Donald Trump booed for calling Clinton 'corrupt' as bipartisan dinner soured"

Audience not amused at annual Alfred E Smith fundraiser in New York where presidential candidates usually trade lighthearted barbs, to the enjoyment of all

If Donald Trump’s campaign has been defined by going where no candidate has gone before, on Thursday the real estate mogul went even further: getting himself roundly booed at a Catholic charity dinner that is usually a moment of bipartisan good cheer in the presidential race.


Hillary Clinton v Donald Trump at the Al Smith dinner: the best (and worst) jokes

The Republican nominee encountered a chilly reception at the Alfred E Smith dinner, an annual Catholic fundraiser for needy children in New York City, where Hillary Clinton was also in attendance.

Presidential candidates have long traditionally addressed the white-tie affair, roasting themselves while throwing in a few good-humoured jabs at their opponents.

At first Trump did earn some laughs with his speech inside the famed Waldorf Astoria Hotel. But it quickly deterioriated into an attack on Clinton that prompted jeers from the audience and shouts for him to stop speaking.

“Hillary believes it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private,” Trump said, invoking the emails of her campaign chairman John Podesta that were illegally hacked and published on the website WikiLeaks.

“That’s okay,” Trump responded to the audible boos that followed.

“I don’t know who they’re angry at, Hillary, you or I?”

“You!” a voice cried out from the crowd.

Trump pressed on, standing at a podium a few feet away from the Archbishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, who served as the evening’s host.

“For example, here she is tonight in public, pretending not to hate Catholics,” Trump said.

While the charity event is known for self-deprecating jokes, the genuine contempt between the two nominees overshadowed proceedings.

Upon being introduced Trump and Clinton settled into their seats on a dais without so much as an acknowledgement of each other’s presence.

Clinton shook the hand of Trump’s wife, Melania, but only later were she and Trump spotted leaning across Dolan, who sat between them, to have a chat that appeared to last all of 30 seconds.

Trump was the first to speak and initially seemed to embrace the spirit of the evening.

“Some people think this would be tough for me,” he said, “but the truth is … I’m actually a modest person, very modest.

“Many people tell me that modesty is perhaps my best quality, even better than my temperament.”

In a riff on what he has dubbed bias within the media, Trump brought the house down by poking fun at his wife’s partly plagiarised speech during the Republican National Convention in July.

“Michelle Obama gives a speech and everyone loves it, it’s fantastic,” Trump said. “My wife Melania gives the exact same speech and people get on her case. I don’t get it.”

But the barbs he subsequently threw at Clinton – delivered as though at a Trump campaign rally – fell flat.

“This is the first time that Hillary is sitting down and speaking to major corporate donors and not getting paid for it,” Trump said.

“Hillary is so corrupt she got kicked off the Watergate commission.”

The audience of roughly 1,500 clad in tuxedos and ballroom gowns were not laughing. Nor were they amused when Trump made light of his assertion in the final presidential debate, held less than 24 hours earlier in Las Vegas, that Clinton was “a nasty woman”.

“This stuff is all relative,” he said. “After listening to Hillary rattle on and on and on, I don’t think so badly of Rosie O’Donnell any more. In fact I’m actually starting to like Rosie a lot.”

Clinton’s speech was less bitter in its tone but also included a series of jokes not far removed from the attack lines she has employed against Trump on the stump.

The Democratic nominee needled her opponent over his admiration for Russia and its president, remarking of Trump’s refusal to disclose his health records: “Donald Trump really is as healthy as a horse – you know, the one Vladimir Putin rides around on.”


Of his inability to stick to teleprompters, Clinton quipped: “I’m sure it’s even harder when you’re translating from the original Russian.”

Both candidates laughed along for parts of one another’s remarks, but in other moments sat stoney-faced. The frostiness was uncharacteristic of previous election cycles but then so has been the tenor of the 2016 contest.

As Trump focused on Clinton’s trustworthiness, the former secretary of state honed in on his behavior toward women.

“Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a four,” Clinton said, “maybe a five, if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.”

“You know what would be a good number for a woman? 45,” she added, in reference to the number marking the next president’s place in US history.

Her roast also nodded to the previous night’s debate, in which Trump refused to endorse the US democratic process, leaving open whether he would accept the outcome of the 8 November election.

“It’s amazing I’m up here after Donald. I didn’t think he’d be OK with a peaceful transition of power,” Clinton said, before tossing in a dig at Trump’s running mate: “After listening to your speech I will also enjoy listening to Mike Pence deny you ever gave it.”

Clinton’s remarks were met with occasional groans but not the open show of distaste that greeted Trump. Relishing her standing with less than three weeks remaining until election day, Clinton made sure to capitalize on the moment by calling out her opponent for saying she should be drug tested prior to the final debate.

“I am so flattered that Donald thought I use some sort of performance enhancer,” she said. “Actually I did – it’s called preparation.”

Throughout the evening the collective toll of an election distinct in its ugliness separated the event from previous years’.

Even Nicholas DiMarzio, the reverend who conducted the invocation at the start of the ceremony, deadpanned: “I think most of us, including Secretary Clinton and Mr Trump, are praying for this election to be over soon. So let us pray.”


Al Smith IV, the great-grandson of the late Al Smith in whose memory the dinner earned its name, cautioned the candidates in his own introduction: “Tonight we’re all friends.”

But even Smith couldn’t help himself when commenting on a race that with each passing day has never ceased to shock the public.

“Donald went up to Hillary and asked her how she was doing,” Smith joked.

“Hillary replied: ‘I’m fine. Now get out of the ladies’ dressing room.’”

Just a few breaths later he skewered Trump again over the allegations of sexual assault and a lewd tape in which the former reality TV star bragged of kissing and groping women without their consent.

“Don, even though there’s a man sitting next to you in a robe, you’re not in a locker room,” Smith told the New York developer in his hometown. “So please watch your language.”

He was just boorish. Clinton wiped the floor with him.

"Maybe you saw Donald dismantle his prompter the other day. And I get that. They're hard to keep up with and I'm sure it's even harder when you're translating from the original Russian".

"People look at the Statue of Liberty and they see a proud symbol of our history as a nation of immigrants. A beacon of hope for people around the world..... Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a four — maybe a five if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair".
