HRC.
I find it ironic that he raises nuclear weapons. This is a person who has been cavalier on their use. He's advocated more countries getting them and said that "why don't we use them".
The bottom line on nukes is that when the President gives the order, it must be followed. There are 4 minutes between the order given and the launch and that's why 10 people who have had that responsibility and said they wouldn't trust Trump.


Trump.
Wrong.

What in the nine hells is Trump talking about with Russia outsmarting us? It sounds like word salad, seems like word salad, and has no actual content to it.

Spam refresh this thread, or the reddit live feed?

That would be helpful, but I personally I find it easier to understand their speech and analyze if it was written as well as spoken. But the quotations posted at almost-live speed are helpful too.

Trump.
I have 200 Admirals or Generals endorsing me. As far as other countries, we are being ripped off. They have the bargain of the century. We cannot afford to protect Saudi Arabia, Japan, and other countries. She's been proven to be a liar in so many ways. This is just another lie.

That was her goal, and she achieved it. Which was excellent.

Also, her views on the nuclear weapons and how frightening it would be Trump being in charge of the nuclear codes.

Also, I didn't know it took 4 minutes. 4 minutes is a VERY short time.

Wallace is fairly decent for a Fox Anchor. That might be a low bar to some, but I agree with Stewart's view that Wallace is generally fair to both sides, and decently respectable to boot.

And Trump bitching that the alliances aren't paying the U.S. enough.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

HRC.
Well I'm just quoting you when asked about nuclear competition in Asia you said "go ahead and enjoy yourselves". The United States has kept the peace through our alliances. Donald wants to tear them apart and I think they make the world and US safer. I would work with them.

I actually don't disagree with us being compensated by countries we protect.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Wallace.
We're gonna move on to the next topic, which is the economy, and I hope we handle that as well as we did immigration! You have very different ideas, Secretary Clinton, you have a big role for the government. You see more spending, more entitlements, more tax credits and penalties. Mr. Trump wants lower taxes and less regulation. Please explain why you believe your plan will create more jobs and growth and your opponent's plan will not.
