You'll have to paraphrase his argument, the sound quality was terrible and I could barely understand him. There's very little difference between the most liberal and most conservative judges who could be placed, if that's what he's saying. Trump is also pretty liberal, as far as Republicans go, if anything he'll push for bigger government.
He's saying both candidates are horrible and dangerous, but that Hillary is worse because she will choose supreme court judges who will change and undermine constitutional law for decades to come. I'm guessing that means the next president won't be able to undo those changes, but I don't really know how your system works

Ah, so right-wing-propaganda BS.

Seriously? He's worried about HILLARY'S Supreme Court Justices? :roll: What about the guy who wants to ban an entire religious group from the country? THAT'S not violating the Constitution? What about his opposition to personal freedoms, like abortion? Not violating the Constitution? What about that he wants to send back the children of undocumented immigrants who are born in America and supports torture "way worse than waterboarding"? Still not violating the Constitution?

No, it's Hillary we need to worry about. >.<

UGH. Yeah, she's not really a liberal. She said it herself, and pretty recently.

So basically we have a choice between a corporatist centrist and an absolute maniac. Micro-progress(?) to fascism lite. Best election ever.

The debate tonight is going to be so boring. Why couldn't Hillary pick a progressive like Bernie or Elizabeth Warren? >.<

Tim Kaine vs. Mike Pence, ugh.

It's been like five minutes in and Tim Kaine said there's a WAR ON COAL.

Oh god, America, please don't let these people run the country.

^Oops, I meant Mike Pence, not Tim Kaine.

If Tim Kaine said there was a war on coal, I think I'd just give up on the democratic party. :lol:

I watched the beginning of the debate just now but it spiralled out of control real quick. These two men are constantly interrupting each other (Tim Kaine more so, he's really cringey). Firing off one claim after the next faster than I can keep up with it. Weak moderator. :(

Is this the level of professional behaviour that has been typical of presidential and vice-presidential debates throughout televised history? I feel like I ought to watch this debate but its sickeningly annoying. :oops:

I know, and Tim Kaine is the democrat! Ugh.
*Not sure if you noticed, but I meant Mike Pence said there's a war on coal.

This is the first election I've ever followed, but I don't think there's ever been an election like it.
Everyday something absolutely unprecedented and insane happens.

Like for example, Trump was on Twitter a few nights ago from 3am to 5am tweeting about a former Miss Universe and how she's disgusting and was in a sex tape. She wasn't, but it turns out he was in a sex tape. :lol:
*He wasn't actually having sex in it (thank god), but he was in a sex tape.

During the debate, he said he was smart for not paying taxes, and he's been maintaining that talking point ever since.
And today he basically said that veterans with PTSD are weak. Ugh.

Interesting that Tim Kaine has the red tie, and Mike Pence has the blue tie. Shouldn't it be the other way around? :P
