False Equivalence

© Jen Sorensen Sorensen also has some commentary to go along with the comic: Ever since the first debate between Hillary and Trump, many have remarked on the “ugliness” of this election season. It sounds so nice and bipartisan to call them both clowns and loftily pronounce yourself to be above the fray, but this […]

The Third Debate on SNL

Did you recognize Tom Hanks playing Chris Wallace? Hanks did almost as good a job as Wallace did. I know you may be tired of hearing about the debates (let alone the third one) but this was actually pretty funny. UPDATE: © Jeff Stahler

Trump Book Reports

It started innocently enough with a single tweet. A St. Louis mayoral candidate tweeted that Donald Trump was so unprepared for the debate that he sounded like a book report written by someone who hadn’t read the book. And then suddenly, the hashtag #TrumpBookReport was trending on Twitter. A few examples: “Juliet. Such a nasty […]

Zip It

© Clay Bennett After the “Fury in Missouri” debate it is clear that Trump cannot control his own mouth. Threatening to throw Clinton in jail may play well with his angry supporters, but it makes him look more like a tin-pot dictator than an actual presidential candidate. And it has legal experts, including Republican prosecutors […]

Trump Takes D Bait

(Get it?) Trump claims that he won all but one of the post debate polls. Including CBS. Except, CBS didn’t do a post debate poll. You know, sometimes I think Trump lies just to see if we are paying attention. By the way, even if you are sick of news about the debate, this Colbert […]

Trump Supporters

© Tom Tomorrow How many people were brave enough to watch the first debate? What were your impressions? Will Trump show up for the rest of the debates? Initial surveys show that 62% of viewers felt that Clinton won compared to 27% for Trump. However, there were more Democrats watching the debate, so we will […]

Front Row Debate Row

There seems to be a side competition going on. A few days ago, Mark Cuban tweeted: Cuban famously questioned Trump’s boasted wealth in Vanity Fair, inciting a feud between the two billionaires. Trump responded Saturday by tweeting: Flowers is a former model who had an extramarital affair with Bill Clinton in the 80s. Even though […]

Disaster Preparedness

© Matt Wuerker I get the feeling that given the attention generated by the primaries (and despite any burnout) that the presidential debates (assuming Donald Trump shows up for them) will be the most watched in history. This comic is pointing out the difficulty of preparing for a debate against Donald Trump, who has taken […]

Debatable

On Friday, Trump accused Hillary Clinton of rigging the presidential debate schedule, tweeting: There’s just one problem with that — it is a complete fabrication. “Hillary & the Dems” had nothing to do with the presidential debate schedule. While the primary debates are scheduled by the political parties, the debates for the general election were […]
