.@cubs are crushing @dodgers by such a margin tonight that LA will grudgingly be forced to accept legitimacy of outcome.

After that call at home plate many will rightfully be saying the game was rigged.

Please explain what kind of voters you think Trump has who would riot and why you think so. Please also explain what basis you have for saying that the only reason there were no riots was because Gore conceded.

You took it the wrong way. Trumps real supporters have stood behind him like no other candidate ever. With everything that he said ( and is accused of doing) the answer is always "the media" etc. If Trump looses and refuses to concede because of a "Rigged election" they will back him 100% because they believe that the system is rigged.

I didn't see the game. I thought it was a good line.

But it is the conservatives who can't accept others.....

You still did not explain how that would lead to riots. Your word not mine.

It was.

Nobody likes to accept opposing viewpoints. I thought it was a nice letter.

There is a difference between accept opposing viewpoints and accepting people who have opposing viewpoints.

It was a nice letter, but when was the last time you saw conservatives try to make someone lose a non political position over a political donation? With the liberals it is fairly common. This is why the so called shy trump voter probably does exist but likely not to an extent to be able to move the polls unless it is very close.

Oh no now Baruch is going to say again that I believe in rigged polls.

Here are my favorite lines from tonight. (All from Trump.)

"Something happened recently where Justice Ginsburg made some very inappropriate statements toward me and toward a tremendous number of people, many, many millions of people that I represent, and she was forced to apologize and apologize she did. But these were statements that should never ever have been made.”

“We have some bad hombres here and we’re going to get them out.”

“If that’s the last jobs report for the election, I should win the election easily.”

“I didn’t even apologize to my wife, who is sitting right there."

“Nobody has more respect for women than me. Nobody."

"I’ll keep you in suspense, okay?"

“Have you seen what’s happened to Aleppo? OK, so it hasn’t fallen. Take a look at it.”

“Such a nasty woman."

[good sam]

People are saying Hillary wasn't supposed to divulge our nuclear response time to tens of millions of people. Not sure if that's true.

[Baruch]

Together with saying twice how those polls are better. How is that a claim at all? Look around this thread and you will see that I do not make the rigged poll claim. You are as bad and ridiculous as the opinion checkers.

I'm sorry for quoting you. It made me bad and ridiculous. (At least I'm not deplorable like you  )

[Eliyohu]

Why is trump wining the poll here on DDF with big numbers and in the polls he is losing big?(maybe because of the people here are not educated as trump wins big by them? I don't think so)

Because for various complex reasons that would make a fascinating article, this is representative of the numbers among frum Jews today.

I don't think it's anything more complicated then you're typical frum jew will vote based on logic/gemara kupp than emotion and through a completely emotionally detached vote based on logic not emotions and "principle" it's a pretty "simple" choice made with a heavy heart

You made me spit my drink.

[churnbabychurn]

The irony is that HRC is infinitely better for the frum community as far as benefits and tax policy for large families goes.

[good sam]

HRC did not accept the outcome of the 2000 election. Said it was rigged.

“Such a nasty woman."

Just curious why is that line one that sticks out, what about what she said to make him say it

Thus is definitely one of the funniest comments I've seen on DDF.

You mean "if he doesn't find a way to get out of it"? Those words?

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are very young. Nobody, I repeat nobody, in the history of televised presidential debates ever called their opponent such names. It's unprecedented and I am sad that so few people even realize it.

Exactly! They grab onto anything to "prove" that he doesn't respect woman.
