So Trump will finally get out now, right?

Yea, he's a calm and well spoken person. How terrifying! You must have hid under your covers during the VP debate.
How many of your friends on Facebook did a sentence-by-sentence account of the debate last night. I watched the debate on a flight to California last night and it's been pure effing joy to see my newsfeed filled with people who were so considerate to translate things for everyone!!! What on earth would we do without you!!!
yes it makes sense that youd be concerned with a guy who has no problem electrocuting gay people straight having that calm of a demeanor. I dont blame you there.
“I think we’re going to find some other things. And I think that when all of this is put into context, and we really look at the people involved here, look at their motivations and look at their backgrounds, look at their past behavior, some folks are going to have a lot to answer for.”
Nope, nothing to see here. Afterall, women who claim to have been sexually assaulted should always have high ranking politicians vowing to dig up dirt on them, and vowing to slander their credibility.
Just remember- Hillary is a woman's rights defender!
Have you heard what he has said about gay people? Why should I not be worried about that?
You said there are no quotes of Hillary attacking her husband's rape victims. I provided you one.
Amazing, if a conservative generalize and stereotyped like you, how many names would your hate group labor them as.
It's quite simple and you know what I mean. The liberal left is the biggest hate group out there. Try to publically disagree with a liberal agenda and see what happens.
The only ones that I had on my FB feed with that were a few that have Twitter map over to FB. No big deal.

No...Pence has said some horrible things about gay people. He said they are unfit to serve in the military, wants to fund conversion therapy and doesn't want ANY sort of legal recognition of gay couples. He literally HATES me.
And that is what you seem to get wrong every time. He doesn't agree with your views of sexuality but to say he hates you is ignorant. I disagree with a lot of my friends across a spectrum of issues but they are still my friends.
MAC is the absolute king of attempting to redirect conversations when they don't go his way.
You literally did exactly what he asked.
So just to be clear, you support shaming and demeaning women who have claimed to have been raped, yes?
Not agreeing with my sexuality and making ignorant, harmful comments is completely different.
Conversion therapy = pretty much torture.
He also said this: Homosexuals are not as a group able bodied. They are known to carry extremely high rates of disease brought on because of the nature of their sexual practices and the promiscuity which is a hallmark of their lifestyle.
Great.
Pence doesn't hate gay people. He just doesn't want them to be gay. He just hates homosexuality. Remember it's a choice.*
As someone who is gladly NPA and sits comfortably on the middle-right, I can say unequivocally that both sides have people that act exactly the same. Hell, you don't have to look any farther than this thread in which there are several examples. Not defending either side - in fact, quite the opposite - but let's not get all high-and-mighty.
Rather liked Scott Adams' "Endorsement of the Week" ...

Especially this part ...
"but since we are judging each other on associations, you don’t want to be seen as supporting sex abuse by putting an alleged duo of abusers (the perp and the clean-up crew) into office."
Like many things from Adams, it's funny ... yet 100% hits home. Watching the left and right this election throw boulders from inside their glass mansions is beyond comical. And just exposes everything that is wrong with the American voter, who hypocritically defends their 'anti-choice.'
BTW, I'm so glad Johnson was left out of the debates so we could get this comedy. Actually talking the issues, given he has the most executive experience of the Presidential candidates -- which also explains why the Vice-Presidential debate was much better (people with actual, executive experience in government) -- would have been a distraction from the 'playground.'

About that what? The D's may barely swing the Senate back to them, for now, considering all of the vulnerable running are Republicans. The Senate will probably then swing back to Republican in 2 years when the vulnerable D's have to run.
Even if they lose seats it's highly unlikely the House flips.
Liberals are a "hate group" because they vehemently disagree with your blatant racism, and lack of common respect for homosexuals?
This would be outrageously humorous if you didn't actually believe it is true. You're so oppressed.
Here's some of what Hillary had to say in 2013, in a closed door "speech" for which she was paid $250,000. To be blatantly wrong about foreign policy.
CLINTON: “I last saw [Putin] in Vladivostok where I represented President Obama in September for the Asia Pacific economic community. I sat next to him. He’s an engaging and, you know, very interesting conversationalist. We talked about a lot of issues that were not the hot-button issues between us, you know, his view on missile defense, which we think is misplaced because, you know, we don’t believe that there will be a threat from Russia, but we think that both Russia and the United States are going to face threats from their perimeter, either from rogue states like Iran or from terrorist groups, that’s not the way he sees it.”

This is honestly the end of the Republican Party as we know it. It's been slowly coming since the W. administration, and Trump just added a 4th camp, among the existing 3 who are constantly fighting.
I consider this to actually be a good thing. After all, the Republicans spent their first 100+ years being the 'radical liberals.' They've lost their way the last 50 years. Most Americans would prefer the socially tolerant, fiscally conservative approach, even more Millennials than people realize. Most Millennials are not dumb, especially the hard working ones, and not the 'intellectual elitists' that the US media loves to demonize as out-of-touch.
We'll see where the Republicans are in the 2020s, but the establishment is headed out-the-door. Trump was not the answer, but the silent majority of Republicans wanted anyone but the establishment. And unlike the DNC, where the DNC can control who gets the primary, the RNC cannot. So maybe, just maybe, we'll see the Libertarians get control. Sometimes everything has to go into the dumpster, before it's settled.
The religious right literally needs to be kicked out.

Many Republicans get elected by sucking up to the religious right. They are paid lip service in return but the Republicans know that their masters are the rich and certain groups for whatever that may or may not be worth.
This "the rich" is getting old. They were already moving to the Democrats as they grow government -- the single, large, 'lobbyists clearing house' federal government -- larger and get more and more designated monopolies in federal agency contracts. Fairfax county overtaking Winchester county is a perfect example.
Trump just accelerated it with no single Fortune 100 CEO supporting Trump, and quite a number supporting Clinton. Because the US government doesn't regulate any more, they mandate, designate and otherwise run things.
This is the new Democratic Party, paying only more recent lip service to Marriage Equality and making a huge deal out of Pro-Choice, all while expanding federal lists 10x bigger than when W. left office, throwing reporters in jail (not just 2009, but 2006 as well), tapping AP phones and making execute orders on drones the President himself wouldn't even trust another President with.
No offense, but I call total BS on the "the rich" non-sense. If anything, Trump has just accelerated what was already in motion. Hopefully that will bring about the Libertarian insurrection.
