This has been a poor market for me, I'm about £55 down

A good lesson really - living on the other side of the pond, you never really have your finger on the pulse. I've banked some cracking trades on political markets in recent times, but this one has been a bad performance on my part

Puts Hilary Clinton in a difficult position though.

If Donald Trump is suggesting power gets you pussy, then Hilary needs to remind herself of when her husband was getting sucked off by Monica Lewinsky, then told the world "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

Just saw the full video, worse than I thought: -

But that said, having a spent a lot of time in LA I'd say the person that met them was a typically Hollywood catcher.

If you go to any party in LA the first thing women asks you is if you are 'in the business'. If you say no she will move on pretty quickly.

I disagree, that's better than I thought. The bellend here was Bush, he came across as an absolute knobber. Trump was engaging in typical male banter, the sort of thing you hear eveywhere when you combine testosterone and an ego

I agree in that respect. Just thinking it weakens his position as presidential candidate and his ability to negotiate as a president.

I'm secretly hoping he gets elected so we can see him go for Teresa May's pussy. :lol:

It's not impossible he could get in, there is precedent: -

Trump jokes in private about women or calls Rosie Odonnell fat so hes a mysoginist pig no woman should vote for.

Clinton jokes about being the reason a rapist never faced justice and shes a feminist icon (im with her woo !)

I doubt ill ever understand liberal logic. i find the hypocrisy so mind numbing it almost breaks my brain.

Clinton comes across as non trustworthy which i think will be her undoing.

Not too good on US history, is there any precedent of a candidate being expelled/rejected by their backing party before, or similarly, a change of candidate close to the election?

EDIT: Up in 4 hours for work so won't be watching the debate. If anyones online after it gimme a quick synopsis of it, I trust most users of this forum more than most of the news sources!
