What's the mood like over in the US after today's debate, AiA?

in my bubble the mood is good. i hear that the Republicans are panicking and are expecting the worst. in fact, the message from them is that they will not cooperate with HRC when she takes up the office ...

Will it matter if they don't cooperate with her? The way Trump is going, it looks like (from over here at least) that they are set to lose a whole heap of furniture.

not cooperating means 4 more years of nothing really getting done ... hopefully the Democrats will win the Senate so there will be some movement at least ... bipartisanship is dead and the GOP is to blame

That's what i mean by furniture. According to pundits over her, the Republicans are set to lose the senate and the house.

whoever wins this election -

Booby: even an autistic homosexual such as yourself should know that Hillary will win ... comfortably.

The bloated orange douche bag, accused of raping at least one child and sexually assaulting countless women, doesn't stand a chance.

We all know that. Bobbie's point was that Amerika's in trouble no matter who wins, and it's true.

The US, as much as we all love it, is yesterday's man. China is set to take over as the number one economy in the next US presidential term.

Hillary will be managing an empire in decline - number two. And this is what Amerikans can't stomach.

It's the entire subtext to this erection.

Yes - the USA in decline - more poverty, debt increasing,
China & Russia controlling the world etc.

But, in significant ways, they did it to themselves. The GFC was created by legislation - or the lack of it. Sub prime bonds were a con, and the bailouts rewarded them for it.

The US' last grand hurrah in Iraq was an epic failure. The US still has some political capital, but it will need to work hard to establish foreign trust again.

Britain, Europe, China - the world is splintering again. This was a world that was brought together by Amerika after WWII. Trump is making use of the US winning the cold war by telling the world he wants to close shop. The globalization his followers rail against is US led. Now other countries are starting to come up - the promise of trade liberalism - Trump wants out.

The US needs to learn how to be part of a team. Trump is a caricature of Amerikan hubris. His sole purpose was to raze the Republican party and show Amerika how ridiculous it could be if it goes down this path.

So far, the Trump campaign has been an important political satire, but it's not over yet. Ultimately, Trump is too shallow to turn his tilt into a tragedy, but we'll see.

If he does, it will be played out on Entertainment Tonight, and not the White House.

Another divorce and a TV show is on the cards.
