The 15 Thoughts We All Had During the Last Presidential Debate

Round 3, here we go.

The 15 Thoughts We All Had During the Last Presidential Debate
The Duran

Here we are, folks. As if the last year was simply just the biggest trailer in the history of ever for this, the Presidential race is winding down to its last weeks. This past week marked the third and final Presidential debate, where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head for Round 3 of a truly brutal battle of the wits. With all of the mudslinging and muckraking going on between these two lately, we watched with eager anticipation to see how the potential Presidents measured up. Here are 15 of the thoughts that popped into our minds while watching the political face-off:

1. Hillary's pantsuits give me nightmares.

It's easy to picture Secretary Clinton's wardrobe as one giant walk-in closet lined with pantsuits in every color of the rainbow.

2. Why is nobody fighting yet?

Okay, it's been 10 minutes and I heard no name-calling, digs, or under-the-breath mumbling and I'm actually concerned.

3. Oh, wait. There it is.

Now that's the Hillary and Donald we all know. I can't believe I was under the rouse that this debate would be civil.

4. Donald Trump has impressively cut it down to one sniffle.

It seems that Mr. Trump took his Nyquil and green tea tonight. His signature sniffles were nearly nonexistent. Keyword: nearly. Oh yes, I caught the Donald getting a little phlegm-y at the microphone this time around. Someone pass over the Vicks.

5. What's more important: taxes or emails?

It's a rough day for America when you have to ask yourself, "Who's less worse?". And even though I have a strong stance on one candidate, I am not ignorant to the faults of either nominee. That being said, this debate truly held a common theme throughout the night; hidden emails and unpaid taxes. Now, it's up to us, the voters, to decide what is more criminal.

6. Hillary laughs a little too much.

Seriously., though. It's just a strange mix of country-clubbing grandma and Bette Midler's witch in "Hocus Pocus". But more so than the sound is the uncomfortable timing of her giggles. Newsflash, Hill: cracking a joke about Trump's use of Chinese steel isn't much of a "sweet burn" to a majority of Americans who are just watching this to watch you both scream at each other. Sorry.

7. Is it me or are the issues actually being well-defined here?

Could it be? Is it truly possible that we are getting real information on the candidates' stances here? Pinch me, please.

8. What kind of dub will come out of this one?

The only thing more comical than listening to these two go back and forth behind the lecterns is the dubs that come out of each debate. Round 2's dirty dancing duet was more than enough for viewers to wonder what else the internet Gods could grace us with? I guess we'll have to find out.

9. This would be a fantastic ad for the Celebrity Apprentice.

What was the biggest lesson of the third and final debate? That The Celebrity Apprentice deserved that third Emmy. Also noted: Clinton was at the White House when we caught Osama Bin Laden, while Trump was hosting his show. Overall, this debate could've been a two-hour promo for the upcoming season.

10. Mosul is the word.

Mosul, Mosul, Mosul. As the newest hot topic, both candidates were vying for time to speak about just what to do about ISIS threats in the Middle East. However, the name was brought up so much, I'm pretty sure three kids and a dog have been christened 'Mosul" by their parents since Wednesday.

11. Wow, Hillary deserves an Oscar for that Russian hacking, "poor me, poor me" monologue.

Bravo is all I'm going to say on this one

12. Quote of the night; "such a nasty woman"

Now, this was a burn. A slow-roasting, simmering, forgetting-your-bagel-in-the-toaster-oven burn. Trump's tiny inner monologue found its way out of his mouth and has now sparked a revolution of "nasty women" supporting Hillary. Inversely, Trump supporters found this to be the greatest thing ever uttered on a debate stage. Everybody wins.

13. Did I just hear what I think I heard?

In a skillful and poetic boldness, he is calling out both illegal aliens and girls who haven't touched up their blonde dip-dye since last year. Well played, Mr. Trump.

14. Who wants to fast forward to the next Presidential election already?

Just picture 300 million people doing this, thanks.

15. Oh my goodness. One of these people will be our President in less than 3 weeks.

It looks like Halloween is going to be extended an extra few days because this is going to be something out of a freakin' nightmare.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
