A CNN/ORC poll released Monday found Trump edging Clinton 42% to 41% in Colorado among likely voters in a four-way race. In Pennsylvania, the poll found Clinton in a virtual tie against Trump among likely voters at 45% to 44%. The Democratic nominee's task is to knock Trump off balance and force him to stick to facts instead of the vague -- sometimes outrageous -- statements he made during the GOP primary debate. Trump, meanwhile, faces the challenge of bringing his unconventional style to one of the most traditional venues of a presidential campaign. His outsider campaign represents a repudiation of US domestic and foreign policy and if the debate helps convince Americans to elect him, he will lead the nation on a sharply different course than the one President Barack Obama has charted for nearly eight years.[/quote] [t]http://i.imgur.com/mno2JOa.jpg[/t] State of the polls, pre-debate: [t]http://i.imgur.com/P1TmKzU.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/EVMfMfH.png[/t] ([url=http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-trump-vs-clinton]HuffPost Pollster[/url]/[url=http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/]FiveThirtyEight[/url], image by Chaitin in post #6)

I will not be able to watch this live, so I will be reading this thread. I hope to god everyone's shitposting game is on point, because I know this is going to be complete anarchy and chaos.

I'm really looking forward to this, have been ever since Hillary and Trump secured the nominations. Super excited to see how things go.

here is exclusive footage of both campaign preparations [video]https://youtu.be/gqwuYX3fZZc[/video] ive been waiting all week to make this joke since hillary is supposidly doing the meticulous, designed and tested debate prep while the stump is trumping the podium

Hold onto your butts and get yer popcorn ready, we've got a wild ride ahead!

538 polls-only forecast. Kinda resemble to polls conducted on a certain referendum recently. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oaBuies.png[/IMG]

[quote]FORMAT: 90-minute debate with no breaks, split into three ultra-Murrican segments: "America's Direction", "Achieving Prosperity", and "Securing America"[/quote] if I win miss america, my goal is to end world hunger

Here's some good music to have on while watching the debate. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3BlFZWJNA[/media]

Personally think think the debates are going to be somewhat duller than predicted, with Trump trying to appear moderate and policy focused to contrast with his disastrous campaign image. It's a smart play and means that he could end up "winning" the debate because standards of civility and professionalism are much lower than Clintons. Won't be able to watch it live though.

Let's go Clinton. Im hoping for 16 years straight of democratic presidency

Oh my fucking god. I thought they both were pretty horrible to look at, but god damn that photoshop had me laughing for a minute.

Steak Salesman vs Reanimated Corpse would be a more appropriate title [img]http://i.imgur.com/FAz4MWj.png[/img]

Wow, those polls are actually a lot closer than I thought they would be

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51108930]Steak Salesman vs Reanimated Corpse would be a more appropriate title [img]http://i.imgur.com/FAz4MWj.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more clinton/lisa nonsense in this windfall of mememongering [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dS0mjBtJBVU/hqdefault.jpg[/t] [editline]e[/editline] prediction: G column fills out fast, but is beaten by diagonal top left to bottom right. I'd say it'd be great if they tied by getting the one they intersect at but I feel that'd be an early one. If not, that's just funnier

[QUOTE=Tacooo;51108952]Wow, those polls are actually a lot closer than I thought they would be[/QUOTE] i think 538 is thrown off a little because Selzer and Company have Trump +2 and they've got an A+ pollster rating, she was at 57% until about an hour ago.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51108971]Please people, it'll be 2 am here. While posting reactions are fine, please refrain from posting stuff like "what just happened" "oh my gawd" thinking of the people who will try to read 40 pages next morning. Make sure what you write conveys information Thunks ^^[/QUOTE] That's like asking people NOT to shitpost for such a glorious shitfest.

Pepe will almost certainly be discussed, also I hope Hillary talks about the death-frog worship cult of Kek.

Oh, damn. It starts 30 minutes before one of my classes ends, I was hoping to save it to repost for those who are interested because often its hard to find good quality uploads of these things. Hyped to watch it though

Will this be livestreamed?

Clinton better knock this out of the fucking park.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;51109005]Clinton better knock this out of the fucking park.[/QUOTE] More likely that they are both mediocre.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;51109013]More likely that they are both mediocre.[/QUOTE] It will be a glorious clusterfuck for both candidates

Honestly Trump would have to try hard to lose this debate.

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51109017]It will be a glorious clusterfuck for both candidates[/QUOTE] I got a full case of popcorn shipped to me Friday. Bring it on. I'm prepared....

I'm hosting a party to watch these debates with friends on campus. Is anyone else doing something fun for this debate? Won't be posting here as much when the debate goes live for that reason
