I Survived the First Presidential Debates (Barely) with Clinton vs. Trump
See Drumpf’s stupid face.
Last night was the first presidential debate that put Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump behind podiums and let them hash it out on various issues. As the presidential nominees for their respective parties, it was their job to state their platforms and bring their plans to the table.
As the Miss Benita of pop culture and politics, it was my job to watch and try to make something from it. I dreaded it so hard. Why? Because I knew Drumpf was gonna bring a Q-tip to a gun battle and then whine. I knew that jackass was going to have my blood pressure skyrocket as he talked nonsense. I knew that I’d wanna jump off a first floor balcony unto soft grass by the end of the evening.
And it was true. Donald Trump the Dusty Degenerate stood on that stage and acted like a toddler who was mad that you told him to go to bed even though he’s sleepy. He interrupted her often, was allergic to the truth and started using his outside voice halfway through in frustration. In fact, I was upset for Hillary. A WHOLE her, standing on the same stage as him. I’m insulted on her behalf and honestly, appalled that this is even happening. AMERICA, SEE YOUR LIFE. See your life in these streets. Olodos.
Meanwhile, Lester Holt was moderating and failed at keeping the asshat of the world in check. The boil on the yansh of our electoral politics acted a fool and Lester couldn’t get him to behave. Which, bless him. I’m not sure anyone can.
All I know is November can’t come soon enough.
And when this man tried to come for her, talmbout how she wasn’t presidential or didn’t have stamina, Hillary straight ETHERED him with: “Well, as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease-fire, a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina.”
Like I said, I don’t give a shit if you don’t like Hillary. Even if you aren’t willing to admit that objectively, she is the most qualified person who has ever run for the office of President of the United States. Please volunteer your vote as tribute come November. We cannot have that cheeto with hair that looks like piss-flavored cotton candy run this country.
After yesterday’s debate, if you still think a Trump presidency would yield the same results for Black/Brown people as an HRC presidency, you’re being willfully obtuse. Hillary might not fix our lives like Iyanla but Trump would try to allow Stop & Frisk to flourish nationwide. Among other bullshit he would wanna do to fix “the African Americans.” Please know that this ain’t a game.

I wasn’t down with the black kitten heels she wore though. When she wins I need her to get some real heels or stick to flats. We cannot have our first female pre wearing some kitten heels.
TRUTH!!!
I swear Trump sounded like one rambling essay question with no outline or conclusion! I was so confused when he stopped talking and then it happened………he opened his damn mouth again!
Bahahaha!!! Thank you!!
This write up is biased.
It leans more toward making Hillary sound victorious to the point you sound like she paid you to make her look like the victior. Both candidates did good and bad, and Hillary cpuld have done better. Another thing you forgot to mention whiile making Hillary look Victorious is how she failed to answer the questions on solving racial tensions in America. Sure she said something about high incarceration rates amongst Blacks but was it not her husband who created the 3 strike rule that made the rate rise.
And then she talks about how Trump is not able to keep America safe, but she could not even keep top diplomats safe in Libya. I am no Trump supporter but Hillary is no good either and I am not going to keep silent on the evil she is connected to just because Inwant to see the first woman in office
WHHHAAA?? I’m biased?? ON MY OWN BLOG? Can you imagine? That’s terrible of me. ????
Say what you want. Lol all you want. Any one can see that this post is biased. If you really want to get analytical, look at where both went wrong in this debate instead of attack someone with ridicule for calling out what is obvious.
You talk about what Hillary did right and what Trump did wrong. That is being biased. How about you talk about where Hillary went wrong. She refused to answer the question about solving racial tension, nor did she say anything about police brutality. Heck, none of them mentioned the word racism.
Luvvie, I expect better. But then again you are all about convincing us why Hillary is fit which is why you choose to ignore the wrong things she has done.
So what you’re saying is you didn’t get that Luvvie’s response to you was sarcastic?
Oh trust me I know she was being sarcastic which I find immature. I am a blogger and when people disagree with me I do not get sarcastic; rather I listen and respond. And if we still cannot meet in agreement I just agree to disagree. But to ridicule someone with sarcasm because he or she disagrees with my content is below me.
One thing I dislike about this platform is the moment someone disagrees, he or she is attacked with ridicule and sarcasm from not only Luvvie but her following.
Uhmmm, so jennifer, if you have a problem with this blog, then WTF are you here? You are welcome to leave if you don’t appreciate the “bias” of New York Times Best Selling Author Luvvie Ajayi’s blogging. Unlike the view Orange Hitler trump likes to spout, this IS a free country. We are free to express our opinions. And many of us who are dedicated to TRUTH enjoy New York Times Best Selling Author Luvvie Ayayi’s way of speaking; her digital voice is why we continually come here.
So, you are:
1) Wrong as hell to come on HER blog complaining about HER opinion in HER blog;
Two) Offering your idiotic, uninformed opinion against the FACTS that New York Times Best Selling Author Luvvie Ajayi mentions in HER blog;
iii) Getting butt hurt because you clearly don’t understand sarcasm and you’re upset that people don’t agree with your backward way of thinking and that we would DARE step out of the slave fields and speak up about how foul and disrespectful you are; AND…
D) How you gonna come here, claim you a blogger, but can’t string decent sentences or coherent thoughts together (plus the misspellings!)?! That’s just tacky of you. Express YOUR idiotic love for trump on YOUR blog. There is no need for you to complain about the opinions and FACTS offered by New York Times Best Selling Author Luvvie Ajayi since this is HER blog.
In other words, #ByeFelicia
Oh, and…
Cinco) If you don’t get why these are numbered this way, that’s further proof that you don’t belong here. In case I forgot to mention it, this blog – the Awesomely Luvvie blog – is written by the New York Times Best Selling Author Luvvie Ajayi! Her book “I’m Judging You” is #5 on the New York Times Best Seller’s List. Uhmmm, what number is YOUR book on the list, jennifer?
nuff said
*mic drop*
She did talk about racial bias and police brutality. What debate were you watching. She checked Trump on stop and frisk, she pointed out that communities of color weren’t all violent war zones and she talked about the need for community police who respect the rights of the citizens. She rejected and repudiated his whole law and order spiel. I thought she could’ve been stronger on the police brutality issue by calling for independent councils to conduct the investigation in high profile shootings. But over all she was okay on the race issue. She was right in pointing out that both violent crime and property crime were way down. Not great. But certainly not the blanket inner city hell holes Trump claimed. He was ridiculous! You walk down the street and you get shot! Wth?! And for the record Luvvie was right in her analysis. They shouldn’t be judged evenly because only one of them is a serious candidate for the presidency. Don’t cry foul when one candidate prepared and takes it seriously and one doesn’t and gets his ass handed to him!
Again, those are responses that had nothing to do with the questions on racism that were asked. Rather she responded to Trump’s ignorance instead of focusing on answering the question the moderator asked.
Ma sista- oo …make you take a chill pill and respect other opinions as much as you want to have yours respected!!! …Eh…about that racism thing, now I see how HRC could not answer it to your satisfaction, but then again who can in 2 mins, right?
So lets be fair/partial, you see – I’m listening to you – on racism, Madam Secretary did not address the issue – according to you – but did the Donald? …to be honest, it was hard to piece together anything that he said…so, in all honesty, I caint tell you what he said. So we pretty much judged the debate from what SHE said…#Imwithher!
I think Jennifer is really Donald himself! Don’t mind her! Donald was a bumbling buffoon. America this is woeful now, please stop!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jennifer, are you really so disengaged that you believe one person is capable of what you wish? At least she isn’t standing there making promises she can’t possibly keep; further, she is not responsible for what her husband did on the job. A whole lot of us would be under the bus if we got clocked for what our husbands did or didn’t do. Even Laura Bush broke ranks with the party AND her husband before he decided to say he’s voting Clinton.
As far as bias is concerned: it’s Luvvie’s blog, she doesn’t have to lean in one direction; she can dive in and swim in it if she wants to. If the tilt gives you vertigo, you’re free to fall off. But I would think the prospect of Dinky Digits Donald Drumpf and his state of continual offense would provide sufficient pause you to vote, if not for Hillary, then against him.
So a person who refused to talk about how she will solve the racial tensions is better? As a Black person it bothers me that a potential president refused to discuss how she will go about fixing an issue that affects me.
She cannot fix every issue? But they can sure fix the issues queers and women face. But when it comes to Black people we should not expect leaders to solve our issues or keep their promises? And your mentality is one reason why our leaders neglect the Black community. Okay yep your logic. As for her husband, there is proof she supported that.
Please stop…lol
…and Trump will fix what exactly? He can’t even fix his own hair, uneven spray tan, horrible racism, and disgusting misogyny.
Antyways, this is a personal blog that is shared publicly: if Luvvie wants to declare that both Hillary and Trump are the 1968 Indiana State Fair Corn Queens, she can do that.
In other words: girl, bye.
I think I see your problem. You actually think a politician can solve racism!! You need to stop right there and get a grip girl. The issues of race in this country and broad and deep and have centuries old historical roots. What is Hillary to do about implicit bias in police forces around the country? Police are local. Prosecutors are local. Police commissioners and mayors are local. You’re putting forth expectations WAAAAY outside the scope of the presidency. The effects of institutional racism must be addressed on every level.
If that is the case, we should not get mad when politicians remain silent about police brutality.
It is funny how we can do everything for Gay rights, but when it comes to the rights of Blacks, it is not the job of leaders…
what is a queer??? S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y !!!! check yourself
Girl, go back to your own blog and write your own commentary on how outstanding you think Trump will be for president and get over yourself. This blog is called Awesomely Luvvie and she can write her own thoughts and opinions on her own blog as I’m sure that you do. Just like a Trumpette trying to tell somebody what to do on their own sh*t!!!!
Okay, I am trying my best to limit the labels but I refuse to comment to people with ignorant replies. If you want to be ignorant by assuming what you do not know about me, go ahead. When have I ever said I support Trump? Or is it because I tell Luvvie to also call out the wrongs Hillary made in the debate is why you assume I am Trump supporter? How ignorant of you.
With Luvvie’s background I expected her audience to be smart but dang, yall just….idk what to call it.
Jen my dear Nigerian friend…..remember that opinions are like assholes, and everyone has one, it just happens that your opinion is full of shyt.
you too dey do smee smee.
Jennifer,
Have you checked your luggage? I think you left your sense of humor in Nigeria. Blogs are always biased, it is a part of their purpose to present a point of view, but you suggested that you wanted more in depth analysis so here goes.
This writer refers to HRC as a twizzler and
DT as a cheeto. Lets consider this metaphor. One, A Twizzler is, candy, but not very sweet, it is red, it is twisted, it is gooie, it melts if left out in the heat (like that in the Libyan desert.) In fact, it won’t stand up on it’s own anytime, and just to state the obvious again, it is twisted. A red twizzler is a cherry version of a black candy flavored like licorice. So you see metaphorically, it’s twisted and it is a black candy altered to appeal to more people.
DT as a cheeto is rife with appropo metaphors. One, the cheese in Cheetos is FAKE Cheese, and the Cheesy color comes from a chemical dye. Secord, underneath the fake cheese color and flavor there is a snack made not from cheese, but from corn. So we can infer that not only is DT “Cheezy” he is “Corny”. Third, when one touches Cheetos, they get disgusting fake cheese all over their fingers, so in other words, DT’s cheeziness will rub off on those who get close to him. Oh and last but not least, The Cheetos trade mark is a comic version of a very beautiful yet wild and unpredictable predator
Both are snack foods meant only to add calories without our any redeeming nutritional value. So you see, both metaphors are applicable and they have been applied to the candidates in a fair and balanced way. Great job Luvvie.
Bless Jennifer’s heart, saying so much and so little at the same time.
Beloved, bias was assumed when Luvvie titled the post “I survived…” The use of “I” in this instance indicates possession, and therefore, one can assume that all thoughts, ideas, and opinions on the topic are her own. Bias would only come in to play as a concern if Luvvie passed this blog off as a traditional, objectively informative news vehicle, which she does not. Your hardheaded willingness to stick to what you believe is true, despite the clarity that others have provided, places you squarely in the same mode of thinking as the candidate known as Trump. It also leads us to assume certain things about your own (heaven forbid) personal bias.
Your feeble attempts at educating the, let me assure you, well-informed and highly educated readers of Luvvie’s blog are amusing at best. If you are a blogger, as you say, I’m sure that your readers will be much more receptive to your efforts at illumination and fact checking. As for LuvvNation, we firmly say “No Kank You. You worry about yo’self.”
Lol celebrate and take joy in making mockery of people with an opinion different from Luvvie’s. It shows how immature some people in her audience are.
My pleasure…lol no wonder why people barely comment on this platform. Look at how folks behave here. Trying to destroy your own because she said something you dislike. But tomorrow folks like you will shout Black Lives Matter!!!
Jennifer, baby, I need you to breath because clearly there is NO air getting to your brain, and that causes…brain damage! The man is incoherent, ignorant of world & American politics, history and current events. Worst, he’s not even curious. drumpf (I refuse to even capitalize his name) really doesn’t know that he doesn’t know anything, which makes him dangerous to EVERYBODY! This is not about conservative vs liberal, republican vs Democrat. It’s about sane, competent, prepared, informed versus what I said above. If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to know that real life is complicated. Stop acting out and vote for the good of your friends & family even if you don’t care what happens to yourself. Honestly, you wouldn’t leave your cat in his care, and cats mostly take care of themselves.
Go ahead and ridicule me. It does not bother me. It only shows your level of maturity. If what you just said makes you sleep at night, go with that thought.
Clearly everyone who attacked me for having an opinion demonstrates the incompetent people in Luvvie’s audience…lol…I am not going to let some Luvvie thug behind a computer put me down…
We-ell, I certainly cannot speak for Luvvie, but as a long time reader, I feel confident in providing my view. Luvvie made her opinion clear in a previous post. She is throwing her support behind HRC and urging others to do so. She is against protest voting (for this election specifically) and believes we need to hold her feet to the flame while she is in office if she is to continue to get the black vote. I don’t think she didn’t see flaws in Hillary, she strategically chose not to exploit them. HRC already has a likeability and authenticity problem. I, like many others, am weary of Hillary. But I love what she represents and our alternative cannot be put into office. What we need to do is unite and promote. Then hold her accountable when she makes. If she fails, then we push to primary her in 2020 (and hope Repuppetcans do better…but that’s unlikely).
Luvvie, watch your back. “Jennifer” has eyes on you. You mess around and get deported…. You know how those folks are
What an ignorant comment. I am a Nigerian.
Lol is this the type of people in Luvvie audience? Lol someone cannot even have a disagreement with out Luvvian turning it into a fight the opposer and defend Luvvie moment. Lol abeg comot for road my friend…lol…I thought we could have a descent discussion without people ridiculing, being sarcastic, and insultive to someone who disgrees with them or has a different belief.
There is a “descent” discussion, and the only real question remaining is why you feel the need to remain. A blog is like an op/ed page – opinion, get it? Jennifer, go home. You’re drunk. And when you get there, delete all your accounts.
Omg the replies here is mind-boggling. I never knew it was wrong to disagree…wow
Luvvie I suggest you check your audience. These type of people will discourage others from commenting on your platform.
People need to learn how to respect different opinions without getting sarcastic and rude in response to someone who disagrees with your post. What happened to being open-minded?
Have a \__/ … this chair is just for you Jen. It just so happens that the MAJORITY of LuvvNation happens to agree with Luvvie, so not only are we defending her stance, but our own as well. And of course you have a right to disagree, and sometimes we (including Luvvie, I’m sure) want to hear valid points from the opposition; not b/c we will agree with them, but b/c they should give pause for thought. BUT when you’re talking about Trump, we’ve all heard enough to know better…with our own ears, from his mouth (not yours) so PLEASE allow for us who have thoughtfully formed an opinion to offer you a seat at another table…like YOUR OWN blog…where I’m sure you talk about whatever pleases you, and where you support or lean towards whatever floats your boat, and where you would be proud if your subscribers immediately jumped to your defense, especially when we/they are all in agreement. If there were anything RIGHT you could say about Trump, maybe our ears and minds would be open…but alas, there is not…there is no defending a bully; bully’s are wrong…is the schoolyard bully ever right???? Is calling people names, ever acceptable? And even though we all do it from time-to-time, WE are not running for POTUS – but he is….
PS – this blog is Luvvie’s – so the fact that you feel the need to come HERE and degrade her efforts or her supporters…is just wrong. What, do you think??? We all can’t read or hear?? Or, that unlike Trump followers, we cannot form clear thoughts about what we hear and see??? (Are you familiar with the phrase “don’t believe your lying ears and/or eyes??) Or, “having the wool pulled over your eyes.” That’s what you’re dealing getting with DJT. Admit it, he is NOT presidential, AT ALL!! HRC – not perfect, but who is?? HRC, has been preparing and is BEST PREPARED to lead; given the two candidates; seriously can you see DJT at the table with other cultures, nationalities, races, genders; and the conversation be productive??? HRC has some mistakes in her past & I’m sure in her future b/c we’re all human. Errors in judgment, yes, b/c we’re all human; But I feel we could LIVE with mistakes that are owned and learned from; what we cannot have is someone unwilling to even admit they are/were wrong….some of us do not own our own truths or wrong-doings…Trump does not….he called her Ms. Piggy in ’96 and dammit, she still Ms. Piggy in ’16…..cut the crap….he’s a hater of the worst ilk….. Get outta here with all that “this blog is biased” mess!!! What did YOU think was happening here??? You’ve obviously opened your mind a little too much…such that you are fooled by DJT’s double-edged sword of a tongue…slick talking is great for shady business deals, not for being POTUS…perhaps he should try to be Secretary of the Treasury, since that is where his “strengths” lie (and I use the term “lie” with all of it’s connotations!) Me thinks we’re all done with you…thanks for playing……..please come again……….NOT………
I agree Jennifer, people should be able to come on a blog with a differing opinion and be treated respectfully. However, when you come to someone’s personal blog with differing opinion you should be respectful. You came on Luvvie’s blog attacking her straight out the gate. Her response to you was tame, and you went in even harder. It’s OK to want respect, but you also need to give it.
Oh Sweetie, This is luvvie’s blog, so she can be as biased as she wants too. She can also say and do as she wants. Her Blog is all about her opinion. This is a humor site not a political one, so if you want an in depth analysis etc.. go to a political site. Your comment was condescending, which is prob why people got upset. Also, you talk about how people shouldn’t be upset if people disagree with them, but here you are pissed off cause folks disagree with you. Then you start insulting, Luvvie, her blog and her readers. If you don’t like it, then don’t read it.
Luvvie. This post was hilarious. I was laughing out loud for each tweet. My only complaint was I wanted more. But I think Lester should get credit for tee’ing up that birther question for Hillary to knock it out of the park:
Lester: Trump — what about this birtherism case.
Trump: I admit he’s a citizen. Besides I helped Obama by making him produce the certificate. He should have produced it earlier. And I’m satisfied with it.
Hillary: He produced his certificate 5 years ago. You pressed this RACIST issue for years.
Me: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When has someone ever been called out for being a racist at a Presidential debate?! I need to see the instant replay.
There is an epidemic of ignorance and hatred in this country. Why ppl still support Trump is beyond me…no matter how many lies, no showing of his income tax returns, his racial discrimination background, his attitude towards women, Muslims, Hispanics, etc. just gets a pass. His supporters don’t care, they do not care. Sad.
Everyone wants to blame Hillary for defending her husbands behavior…damn skippy…she was protecting her family.. and I would as well, BUT, it is not her shame that was Bill..and Monica (who was just as guilty, she wanted and received her 10 minutes of fame). Bill was the the best president (besides OBAMA) and I would definitely vote for him AGAIN, but since he is not running I am so with Hillary!!!!!!!
What about stumpy trumpy do people not get ( he is a racist pig who hates anyone who is not like him, he even hates the people who are turning out for him, do you honestly think he gives any damns about poor white people (forget blacks…the 25 or so black people on his side gave up their mirrors years ago…scared of their own shadows, wanting so much to be white that they cry in their pillows nightly to wake up white) so miss me with this I won’t vote for Hillary bullshyt) donald has a range of children by different immigrant women and one he doesn’t want to claim by a white women whom he had an affair with and a very nasty messy divorce, he has been a slumlord, sued by DOJ for discrimination and has even tried to frame 5 young black men for rape, he has stated that he can stand in the middle of the street and shoot someone and people will still vote for him, he has made fun of disabled people, blacks, hispanics, gay people, fat people….and he wants to be president…of what…the dumb fuck club???? I will vote him in for that…
…so people don’t even respond to me with that pro trump nonsense, because you are obviously a fool, and when you argue with a fool, it proves there are two(fools)
how could I forget about him insulting the Muslim people as well….sorry!
also forgot to mention how he trashes everyone and when anyone says something about him he states how mean they are, schoolyard bully, weak ass wonker, scad a head wind blowing implant wearing nut! I could go on and on on how disgusting this manchild is…
Someone accused me of being a member of the Right Wing because I won’t kiss Hillary Clinton’s ass. This simple-minded thinking (either you support the Democrats or you love Donald Trump) is a reminder that while you’re playing checkers and doing arithmetic, the people who control you are playing mastermind chess and doing advanced calculus.
Sorry, but I spent 8 – 10 hour a day studying advanced mathematics for over a decade. Based on the way my mind works, I have a hard time falling for the okey-doke. I am very sorry that I can’t be as dumb as you want me to be – I can only call it for what I see – repetitive, racially-oppressive insanity.
We’re like the poor kid on the little bus who keeps falling for the same trick over and over again. Sorry Hillary Clinton, but I’m not your b*tch.

I laughed out loud at your commentary and analysis of the debate. The humor is right up my alley. Love it
