I'm baking a chocolate cake Wednesday, to eat while watching the third debate. My sister and I decided that that's what it is going to take in order for us to survive the spectacle psychologically intact.

I'm already planning for election day. I was thinking some sort of comfort food, but I'm not sure I'll have much of an appetite. I think I'll save the rest of my cashew ice cream for the last debate.

I read this on another forum, guess who it is about, lol:

Let's just recap what we've seen thus far:

1. He called Mexicans rapists and demonstrated other racial hatred/insensitivity.
2. He has repeatedly made bigoted statements that shows he views women as nothing more than pieces of meat (even his own daughter, which is creepy as hell).
3. He wants to deport 11 million hard-working Mexicans and spend hundreds of billions on a meaningless wall (oh... sorry.... forgot Mexicans will pay for it).
4. He wants to violate Constitutional rights by rounding up and deporting Muslims.
5. He wants to isolate the US in the world economy.
6. He wants to tear down relationships with democratic allies.
7. He conjures up hate/fear/divisiveness to get votes.
8. He has very thin skin and lashes out at any opposition with immense anger, showing a temperament that is unqualified to lead a fast food restaurant, let alone the United States.
9. He constantly says stupid sh*t (or punts) in regards to domestic/foreign issues that proves he has no idea on the issues he should have an idea on.
10. He brings the least steady hand to a position that absolutely requires a steady hand (with financial markets and the rest of the world watching).
11. He brings on a VP who is one of the staunchest opponents of LBGT/women's rights in government, and even supports conversion therapy.
12. There are some huge red flags with his/Manafort's connection to Russia/Putin, which is a legitimate national security threat
13. He has taken advantage of contractors, lenders, others by stiffing them in business deals and declaring bankruptcy 6 times.
14. The Trump U. scam and other corrupt business dealings.
15. He's made fun of those with disabilities.
16. He is the 1st presidential nominee that won't share his tax returns (what is he hiding there?).
17. He's on his 3rd wife.
18. He has repeatedly flipped on his positions (sometimes within the same conversation/debate).
19. He provides no ideas, plans, solutions to any of the issues he rails against outside of deporting people, building walls, and isolating the country.
20. Huge ego, puts his interests in front of the interests of all others.
21. Has banned/intimidated/threatened free press from events.
22. He has encouraged violence to protestors at his events.
23. He has zero legitimate foreign/domestic policy experience.
24. He is arguably the least qualified Presidential candidate in history.

I was watching a British programme last night about Trump vs Clinton (Paxman on Trump vs Clinton: the BBC journalist charts the Republican vs Democrat battle | London Evening Standard) and they mentioned the survey that shows that the two sets of voters have very different views of life in America.

That looks about right. Republicans tend to be the cup is half empty people.
