Final Trump vs. Clinton Debate 2016

photo Debate 3.png

And the whole country sighed with relief when it was over.

However, Trump gave a caveat when asked if he would accept the results of the election in November if he loses, as most polls tell us that he will:

Via NPR
When first asked, Trump refused to say yes, replying in part, "I will look at it [the election results] at the time." When pushed on the issue, Trump told Wallace, "I'll keep you in suspense."



Stephen Colbert let him have it on Trump's "suspense":

Oh my God. That's...uh...what's the word?
(Shows tape of Hillary saying "horrifying" during the debate)
That's it! Thank you! Thank you!
(Stephen blows kiss to Hillary/camera - crowd cheers)
I want to make sure I heard that correctly.
(Plays Trump saying "I'll keep you in suspense")
Oh! Oh - Suspense! Democracy's going to end with a cliffhanger. I guess we're all going to have to wait until November 9th to find out if we still have a country! If Donald Trump is in the "mood" for a peaceful transfer of power. Or if he's just going to wipe is fat ass with the Constitution!



The day after the debate, Donald doubled down, saying he would only accept a win, not a loss:

Via NPR
In front of an exuberant crowd Thursday in Delaware, Ohio, Donald Trump again addressed whether he would accept the outcome of the November election.

"Ladies and gentleman I want to make a major announcement today," Trump said, continuing, "I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters, and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election - if I win"

Murrieta, California ~ Anti-Immigrant Mob Screams at Bus Full of Children

photo murrieta.png

*Sigh* ~ Happy Fourth of July!

From the Los Angeles Times
A crowd of 200 to 300 people in downtown Murrieta surrounded three buses carrying immigrant detainees Tuesday afternoon, causing the buses to turn around before they reached a Border Patrol station in the Riverside County city.
Waving Americans flags and protest signs, the crowd refused to give way when the buses arrived with some 140 detainees from Texas, which has seen a flood of Central American immigrants cross the border in recent weeks without legal permission.

Ann Coulter Rants that Immigrants Will Finish Off GOP

photo cb9c5a78-b69b-4a05-bcfe-424c979ce487.png

Ann Coulter has never met an immigrant she likes, and now says they are going to be the downfall of the Grand Old Party. Call a Waaahhhmbulance!

Excerpt from "GOP CRAFTS PLAN TO WRECK THE COUNTRY, LOSE VOTERS" by Ann Coulter
As House Republicans prepare to sell out the country on immigration this week, Phyllis Schlafly has produced a stunning report on how immigration is changing the country. The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it's too important to wait.
. . . Immigrants -- all immigrants -- have always been the bulwark of the Democratic Party. For one thing, recent arrivals tend to be poor and in need of government assistance. Also, they're coming from societies that are far more left-wing than our own. History shows that, rather than fleeing those policies, they bring their cultures with them. (Look at what New Yorkers did to Vermont.)
This is not a secret. For at least a century, there's never been a period when a majority of immigrants weren't Democrats.

At the current accelerated rate of immigration -- 1.1 million new immigrants every year -- Republicans will be a fringe party in about a decade.
. . . And it's fantastic for the Democrats, who are well on their way to a permanent majority, so they can completely destroy the last remnants of what was once known as "the land of the free."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To back her assertions, Coulter cites a study by Phyllis Schlafly, a fellow conservative pundit who has called on the Republicans to keep their party as white as possible.
~ Huffington Post

. . . the people the Republicans should reach out to are the white votes, the white voters who didn’t vote in the last election.
~ Conservative Phyllis Schlafly, via Right Wing Watch



On January 16, 2014 Coulter did an interview with Newsmax and said this:
We're a country. We are not a department store. We have to have some control over who comes into this country.
. . . I was thinking the other day it really is a dirty trick the Democrats have pulled because the vast majority of illegal immigrants are Hispanics, mostly Mexican, and you have to love them, they're such hard workers, and it's out of no animosity toward them. But the country has not voted to turn itself into Mexico. I love Mexicans, I love Mexican food. I don't want this country to be Japan or Sweden either. What's the matter with America as it is?

GOP Cries "Tyranny!" as Reid Nukes the Filibuster

photo 1d59b7c1-ad6c-48a5-87a8-d02355c37745.jpg

Harry Reid is giving them hell in the Senate! But Honey Badger Don't Care!

The change we propose today would ensure executive and judicial nominees get an up-or-down vote on confirmation – yes or no. This rule change will make cloture for all nominations other than Supreme Court nominees a majority threshold vote – yes or no.
The Senate is a living thing. And to survive, it must change. To the average American, adapting the rules to make Congress work again is just common sense. This is not about Democrats versus Republicans. This is about making Washington work – regardless of who’s in the White House or who controls the Senate. To remain relevant and effective as an institution, The Senate must evolve to meet the challenges of a modern era.
~ Senator Harry Reid, D-Nevada, Asking for Filibuster Reform on Floor of the Senate, 11-21-13





From Huffington Post
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pulled the trigger Thursday, deploying a parliamentary procedure dubbed the "nuclear option" to change Senate rules to pass most executive and judicial nominees by a simple majority vote.
The Senate voted 52 to 48 for the move, with just three Democrats declining to go along with the rarely used maneuver.

From now until the Senate passes a new rule, executive branch nominees and judges nominated for all courts except the Supreme Court will be able to pass off the floor and take their seats on the bench with the approval of a simple majority of senators. They will no longer have to jump the traditional hurdle of 60 votes, which has increasingly proven a barrier to confirmation during the Obama administration.

photo c8b7f26e-f019-4858-bcfb-e0cf381f07f9.jpg

I realize that neither party has been blameless for these tactics. They developed over the years. But today’s pattern of obstruction, it just isn’t normal. It’s not what our founders envisioned. A deliberate and determined effort to obstruct everything, no matter what the merits, just to refight the results of an election is not normal, and for the sake of future generations we can’t let it become normal.
~ President Obama in remarks after the Filibuster Change





photo DPCC_Cloture-Votes-01.png



Neither a Democratic president or a Republican president should face this level of obstructionism in exercising their Constitutional responsibility. They have a right to get an up or down vote on staffing the administration and on judges. Now a Republican president of the future will not face this unacceptable obstacle, either.
. . . The filibuster has been used to wage continuous warfare on the presidency. The Senate said today that’s not acceptable. A huge thank you to the leadership team.
~ Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, to Greg Sargent on The Plum Line, WaPo

. . . Reid never would have used the “nuclear option” without the lemming-like behavior of Senate Republicans. Less ideological GOP members could have voted more frequently to break cloture and force an up-or-down vote, as members of both parties have done, even as filibuster use has increased. They could have stopped the unprecedented number of filibusters of presidential nominations, given that the president has a clearly defined constitutional responsibility to appoint people. They could have stopped blocking duly passed laws. But they didn’t.
So Republicans decrying filibuster reform as “dictatorial” or “a day to be sad” or other hyperbolic claims should look in the mirror. No one forced them to turn filibusters from a rarity to an oft-used tool for nullification and unprecedented obstruction. They have only themselves to blame.
~ James Downe on Washington Post

When McCain and Graham Diss Rand's Filibuster - GOP calls them "Yesterday's Mashed Potatoes"

photo 27797fdb-c976-4497-aa9e-31115d9d922e.jpg

If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he's talking about.
~ John McCain quoting an editorial from Wall Street Journal, via Business Insider

McCain specifically objected to Paul saying that a future president as evil as Nazi leader Adolph Hitler could one day come to power and use drones to kill political opponents like actress and peace activist Jane Fonda.
“To allege that the United States of America, our government would drop a drone hellfire missle on Jane Fonda, that, that is… that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about U.S. policy to the realm of the ridiculous,” McCain said.
. . . if someone is an enemy combatant, that enemy combatant has nowhere to hide: not in a cafe, not anywhere.”
"We’ve done, I think, a disservice to a lot of Americans by making them believe they’re somehow in danger from their government: they’re not,” he added. “But we are in danger from a dedicated, longstanding, easily replacable leadership enemy that is hell-bent on our destruction, and this leads us to having to do things that perhaps we haven’t had to do in other more conventional wars.”
~ John McCain via RawStory

To my Republican colleagues, I don’t remember any of you coming down here suggesting that President [George W.] Bush was going to kill anybody with a drone. They had a drone program back then. So what is it all of a sudden that this drone program has gotten every Republican so spun up? What are we up to here?
. . . What is it, all of the sudden, that this drone program has gotten every Republican all spun up?
. . . To my party, I’m a bit disappointed that you no longer apparently think we’re at war. Not Senator Paul, he’s a man to himself. He has a view that I don’t think is a Republican view – I think it’s a legitimately held libertarian view.
~ Lindsey Graham via Mediaite

Press Release Young Adults for Liberty
#StandwithRand or #DiewithMcCain
Sen. John McCain's snide remarks about 'libertarian kids' are exactly what's wrong with the GOP Establishment
WASHINGTON, DC — Taking the Senate floor today following Sen. Rand Paul's historic 13-hour filibuster on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain speedily placed himself and his fellow Establishment Republicans like Rep. Lindsey Graham on the wrong side of history, and on the wrong side of the future of the GOP.
"Senator McCain's ideas are literally a dying breed in the Republican Party," said Young Americans for Liberty Executive Director Jeff Frazee.
"These 'libertarian kids' are the future. It's just a matter of whether or not the GOP will stand with Rand and remain relevant; or turn their backs on the next generation and die with McCain," Frazee continued.
~~~More Here at Link~~~




















Senator McCain just went to the floor of the Senate and blasted Senator Paul saying the filibuster was not helpful. Senator McCain, and I tell you, this illustrates the contrast between the new stars of the Republican Party and yesterday’s mashed potatoes. McCain said that Paul’s filibuster (imitating McCain), “Let me tell you what’s wrong with it, Limbaugh. It’s gonna give ammo to those who think the rules of the Senate have been abused.” Senator McCain, there’s not a person in the world who cares about the rules of the Senate right now. And if the rules of the Senate were abused last night for the American people to hear the truth, then so be it.
~ Rush Limbaugh, via PoliticusUSA











Petition Demanding Apology from John McCain to Rand Paul
While Senator Rand Paul was filibustering John Brennan’s nomination for CIA Director over the Obama Administration’s implicit assertion that it can kill American citizens on American soil without charge or trial, Senator John McCain was schmoozing with President Obama over dinner.
Millions of people, from all political backgrounds, showed support for Rand Paul’s courageous filibuster on social media. Rand Paul was eventually joined by 14 senators, including Sens. Lee, Cruz, Toomey, and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden.
Instead of joining this important filibuster, Senator McCain mocked Rand Paul and made condescending statements towards libertarian young people. "If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms."
These comments are rude and out of line. Senator McCain should apologize for insulting tens of millions of Americans who rightly assert that they cannot be killed by the President.
The U.S. government has zero constitutional authority to kill a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil without a trial or due process. That’s plain and simple.
Sign the petition telling Senator McCain to apologize to Rand Paul and his supporters for his inappropriate comments!

Tea Party Attacks John McCain at Town Hall Meeting

Photobucket
photo credit: AP

One man yelled that only guns would discourage illegal immigration. Another man complained that illegal immigrants should never be able to become citizens or vote. A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits.
McCain urged compassion. "We are a Judeo-Christian nation," he said.
~ CBS News

Via Raw Story
As members of the audience became more and more angry, the Arizona senator explained that the border near Yuma was largely secure and mass deportations did not make sense.

“There are 11 million people living here illegally,” he told the crowd. “We are not going to get enough buses to deport them.”

. . . “I remember when you were in bed with [former Massachusetts Sen. Edward] Kennedy,” one man said.

“In bed with Kennedy? Thank you,” McCain laughed. “That conjures up a specter that I have to reject, sir. Thank you for the compliment.”

“Cut off their welfare and all their stuff and they’ll go back!” the man insisted as the audience applauded. “You said, ‘Build the dang fence.’ Where’s the fence?”

At that point, McCain pointed to a chart showing that millions were being spent to build fences along the southern border.

“That’s not a fence!” the man shouted.

“Oh, that’s not a fence? It’s a banana,” McCain quipped. “We’re putting up a banana with about $600 million of appropriations we have.”



Tea Party Reactions:

McCain has the "Please-Like-Me" disease that so many RINO's suffer from, the only people the don't seem to care about are the american people.
~ Perry O. on Breitbart

Let's get down to brass tacks. The fairy tale that Americans can't do THIS, and can't do THAT, and can't harvest crops or clean a toilet is just that - a fairy tale. Most Mexicans I know here in California sing a sad song about just wanting to work for us and do jobs we supposedly don't want to do, but once they have the jobs they were begging for, they resent having to clean up after white people. THEN, after having taken over the area, they feel all empowered like they own the place, and then they treat white people like dirt. I don't dislike them, but I rarely trust them and that's because they lie a lot.
~ USMC on Breitbart

Mc Cain is a carpet bagger, he has no real ties to Arizona, and regards most of the people who are obligated to vote for him, because the other choice is an even worse democrat, with utter contempt. I have lived in this state on and off since 1960, and have never seen him in person, even from a distance. I sent him one letter and got a form letter back that had nothing to do with the issue i wrote him about.
~ Dunce on Breitbart

I thank McCain for his service, that being said he is a Progressive POS that should be thrown out of office.
~ UECHI on The Blaze

People that have spent years being tortured and brainwashed shouldn’t be in Congress IMHO.
~ MONK on The Blaze

As ron paul said in the debates….If we get rid of entitlement system, most of the illegal immigration problem would be fixed.
~ soybomb315_II on The Blaze

Only Hispanics and Asians increased their vote for Obama. Coincidentally, these have been our two largest immigrant groups over the last several decades. (It’s sort of touching that Democrats couldn’t get Americans to vote for them, so they had to bring in new voters from other countries to start winning elections again. Immigrants really are doing the job Americans just won’t do.)
~ Ann Coulter on The Daily Caller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
















Green Valley town hall featured John McCain vs. John McCain
. . . John McCain can't run away from John McCain, though he tries. McCain's life would be easier if everyone would forget what he's said or done before and simply accept what he says today.
~ Arizona Daily Star

Arizona Town Hall Folk Murder John McCain, Tear Lifeless Body To Shreds With Their Teeth
~ Headline on Wonkette

This is finally bad news for John McCain.
~ IncenseDebate on Wonkette

"A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits."
Actually, you just described most white people in Arizona.
~ Estproph on Wonkette


And the people turned, and saw McCain
The evil monster; On they came,
McCain and people--both were lame--
And neither side had half a brain.

When all was over, naught was left.
Both sides were dead--all was bereft.
Stupidity had risen, the good was cleft
And common sense had suffered theft.

Oh, John, Oh, John, we pity you,
You're in what is an awful stew
The hate you sowed, it really grew
And now has returned to devour you.

And I couldn't be happier, you dumb f*ck!
~ DudleyDidWrong on Wonkette

But I gave you Sarah Palin!" he screamed as the frenzy intensified.
~ SuspectedDemocrat on Wonkette

Does mccain ever get involved in anything that doesn't get heated?
~ radarelect on Huff Post

Poor old McCain: He still and actually believes an appeal to America being a "Judeo-Christian" nation is going to have an effect on the brand of GOTP "christians" who want to shoot everyone on sight!
~ JustCannot on Huff Post

John McCain did what he could to climb aboard the Tea Party Express to get re-elected, and now he's confronting his old self as he argues with the guy he was a few years ago. And John McCain has never been good at hiding his anger or his contempt for people he considers to be idiots or in his way.
. . . John McCain is the perfect expression, perfect embodiment of the kind of schizophrenia of the Republican Party of today because he is both things - he wants to be the anti-establishment, screw-the-government kinda guy, he's the war hawk . . . he's a Tea Party guy, in certain respects he is. But he's also a guy who wants to get deals done, who believes in the old establishment, who loves the Senate, who was in the Navy, who is an old Republican guy.
~ Howard Fineman on Hardball
