  1. Issues are not in his wheelhouse.
  2. Wallace will be tough on Trump because he deserves it. He's not a fawning sycophant.
  3. Interestingly, someone running for president also has significant ties to Epstein. Sounds like Bill and Donald could have had some interesting golf chats after all. By the way, is there any doubt that Slick Willy has said everything Trump said on those tapes (minus the infamous grabbing line)?
  4. Trump always has lines of attack--a shiny object, in his case a mirror, distracts them from the lines. Chris Wallace will skewer Trump.
  5. Time just did a story on it 3 weeks ago. NY Times is running a few stories a month. It's a pretty big issue. Not in the election cycle I grant you but it's hot. The docs. That's the issue in a lot of cases. Docs make a lot of money writing RXes. My friend the surgeon says everyone in his town knows who the docs are who write the easy prescriptions. But those docs walk the line just on one side of it and the patients know how to get them filled.
  6. The heroin epidemic isn't being swept under the rug. I have a friend who is a surgeon in a rural area--he said their small town (30,000 people) is being overrun with addicts. But like the poster said before, nearly all of them get their opiods from Dr. Feelgood, not Medico Feliz.
  7. All of them but my favorite has to be the objectively titled book "Broomstick ONE."
  8. Of course. I said he'd do better in debate #2 also. Much more circus in the town hall setting. In 9 days, he'll be back to having to use his brains.
  9. Pretty reliable source.
  10. No idea what the cartels are doing but yes, the cartels are not going out of business any time soon.
  11. Is there a way to help Congress do its job without the commander in chief being a reality TV star?
  12. I am not in the tinfoil hat brigade but I'm guessing that Trump's actions didn't move the needle one bit for any undecided or fence-sitting voter. To the extent I care about Bill's accusers and their relationship to Hillary, I care a hell of a lot more about plans for the economy, foreign policy especially wrt the Middle East and Russia, ideas for Obamacare because you can't just pull the plug on it in a day, etc. Trump made issue #78 the talk of the day, like the moron he is.
  13. This is exactly what he did. He was the Trump of the primary season yesterday. Sunday was custom made for the reality TV crowd.
  14. That's the point. Bringing up "sheltering the abusive guy" is fair game. But to hold the press conference and bring them into the debate, thus escalating it to headline status? Pure douchebaggery in a season where I might prefer to hear about issues. And yes 4mer, to cut off your rubber-glue logic, Hillary did it too with Ms. Universe.
  15. I am a sinner on this. To me the big change in the last 3 games and especially the last 2 is running between the tackles. Roman seemed to almost only run him on sweeps and today's NFL defenses are too fast to live on that play alone.
  16. The big change in getting rid of Roman is running between the tackles. Really nice to see,
  17. The Bills of 2005-15 would have come out flat and lost that game. It was not the prettiest but credit to TT, keeps not turning the ball over and doing OK without a decent WR on the field (seriously...Powell and Goodwin are his 2nd WRs!!!). This team needs to keep playing 20-25 PPG on offense this season and then fix the offense next year. In Whaley we trust.
  18. He doesn't need to win over his base, he needs to win over independents and other grown-ups. His childishness is not doing him any favors with the thinking electorate. He's a few more tough moments from total on-screen meltdown. Clinton will be smart to bob and weave tonight--let Trump burn in his dumpster.
  19. 20 minutes in. Only the cockroaches will survive. This may be the lowest moment in US presidential politics and Trump is leading the way.
  20. He did himself no favors in the last few hours. Turning the presidential process into mud wrestling and trying to saddle Hillary with Bill's offenses (assuming they are credible).
  21. Open trade...no idea what open borders means. I assume she didn't mean "open" borders--that's never been her meme. But free trade was...before it was less politically advantageous.
  22. What presidential material he is.
  23. Guess what happens when you keep following the lemming in front of you.
