by now we should of had 6-8 debates which remind people who are not very engaged that it is time to pay attention and paying attention sometimes means registering to vote...that is why having the first debate after voter registration deadline is a HUGE mistake

from the outside looking in, it seems the dnc is trying to blow this election,it really does

i have liberal friends actually considering trumps "no more anchor babies crap" and since trump is all they are seeing 24/7 i can not blame then for being sucked in...afterall no opposing ideas are being given airtime
