    I don't know what that's a picture of, but of course she's worried. If he doesn't call her a "pussycat" on stage, or place Russia in South America, the night will be considered a success for him. It's not different than when Biden had to debate the last numb nuts that the GOP put on a national ticket.

    Also, it's very clear now that the CNN poll was a trolling attempt by the network. Even Rasmussen (+4) and the LA Times/USC poll (+1) have her ahead.

    I assume Russia is like our country in that it has a certain number of people who crave and respond to an authoritarian acting out domination rituals, whether they ultimately help or harm the country. Those people have a psychological need for aggressive, hostile behavior from their country and its leader.

    I thought personal attacks were banned on this board? (Don't worry, BTE, I've got your back).

    It's not like our country. There is no history of democracy or a stable, moderate middle class. It went from Tsarist rule to Soviet tyranny to an economic oligopoly. It's not a certain number of people. It's a large portion of the people.

    The country is fucked by its history, economy, and falling birth rate.

    And how would they go about doing that?

    If it's +2 Hillary, a +2 Trump poll is not an outlier. It would be expected.

    Has the bar ever been lower for a POTUS candidate's debate performance?

    "Yeah, he told lie after lie after lie, changed positions from last week and offered zero policy plans - but he didn't use the C-word on Hillary. He won!"

    But I do like that MSNBC "unskewed" the CNN poll, and no one here mocked them for it.

    They did it by manipulating the Likely Voters model and including more white people than are actually likely to make up the voting bloc on election day.

    If it's Hillary in Rasmussen and Hillary in LA Times/USC, then it is very unlikely that Trump is ahead.

    Agreed.

    That said:

    You're voting for Gary Johnson.

    You're part of the problem.

    They shouldn't have. They "unskewed" it using a methodology that actually made sense and was evidence-based. And clearly MSNBC was onto something, as the most Trump-friendly polls still have Hillary ahead.

    /debate starts
    /Hillary gives lengthy, and at times boring, but detailed answers, doesn't smile much, coughs
    /Trump farts in his hand, extends it to the moderator, pulls it back at the last second, laughs, adjusts the bobby pins in his hair, takes his dick out, gets semi-hard, tells the audience they don't deserve to see his cock fully hard, but he has a secret plan to get there after the election
    /Hillary rolls her eyes
    /Lester Holt chides Hillary for being disrespectful, thanks both cadidates
    /debate ends

    New York Times: Hillary may have won the debate on substance, but Donald Trump's handshake gag won the night for most viewers as he avoided doing anything overtly vulgar (Editor's Note: This story was filed at 10 p.m., updates to follow in the morning.)

    Vox: What does a semi-hard dick mean? Here is a 3-minute video explaining the gesture

    Slate: Why Trump's Fart-in-his-hand move was actually brilliant

    Washington Post: Hillary's inability to say for sure whether or not Trump has ever emailed her a picture of his dick continues to dog her

    Brietbart: Trump is the new Lyndon Johnson, but so much better because his racism is out front, not in private

    MSNBC: We forgot to mention this, but Trump said he'd nuke San Francisco his first 100 days in office

    538: Hard to say how Trump's Fart-in-hand move fits into our model, but we are cautiously upping his chances of winning to 41.5%, from 40.9%.

    CNN: We go now to our 8-person panel of Presidential Farting Experts, as well as Corey Lewandowski.
