A restaging of the presidential debates with an actress playing Trump and an actor playing Clinton yielded surprising results.

“After watching the second televised debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in October 2016—a battle between the first female candidate nominated by a major party and an opponent who’d just been caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women”
That tells me all I want to know about which way this professor leaned. Hey, it wasn’t “just”, it was more than ten years ago. And if with all that fine combing through records of a very public person, and this is all they come up with, my reaction is what a faultless life he had for the last ten years. And not to excuse him for what he said in what he thought was privacy, but few men in the U.S. would not have heard worse, and most most would probably have said worse in a moment of ribaldry.
That under such circumstances, they still found Trump’s presentation to be of more substance, reveals the true difference between the two candidates.
“Let me start with an assumption: Mr. Trump may be crazy, but he’s crazy like a fox. He seldom does stupid things, and very little without reason. I didn’t always assume this, but the campaign convinced me: yes, he had luck, but he was always a step ahead of most of the analysts including his own advisors. My assumption is supported because I know for a fact that it is shared by a number of people I know quite well and have for a long time; even when they don’t know what Mr. Trump is doing, they assume he actually has a purpose, and they are usually correct, and have been many times. To assume that President Trump is an emotionally driven maniac unable to control himself has been the unmaking of more than one of his opponents, and is often precisely what he wants them to believe at various stages of an operation; and if one pays close attention it is demonstrably untrue. His address to the Congress with all its emotional appeals and side shows was masterful; it is likely that it will be studied for years by students of political science.” – Jerry Pournelle, Chaos Manor
I called them the Big and Witch debates, only thing missing was the witch riding off at the end on her broomstick. Funny thing that 53 percent of women still voted for such a “man” proves joy in grabbing.
“Big and Witch”….PERFECT! 🙂
Wrong assumption. And really stupid assumption. What a dipstick comment.
It prove 53% of the women voters looked passed the media narrative. They were women that were well informed on the Billary lifestyle.
And they looked at Trump’s policies on the national agenda.
Let me guess: Clinton had even less support, due to the totally irrational “because she’s a woman” reason for supporting her being taken away?
So, does this mean that the medium is NOT the message?
No matter which gender, or political side of the fence … looks, acts, and says the things SHE did in the debates (and campaign trail) … is going to be seen as very, very, very creepy. The American voter elucidated this point on Nov. 8, 2016 … but many HARD CORE lib./leftists still don’t “get it”
