Who won? Today's news for September 27th

So who won last night's debate?

The pundits seem to be handing it to Hillary Clinton, as I have yet to see a single pundit give it to Trump, present company excepted. To be honest, I only gave it to him because I can't listen to Hillary without a large dose of skepticism. Too many lies over too long a period of time will do that to you. So it is difficult for me to be unbiased with her.

Mind you, that doesn't mean I trust or even like Trump, because I don't. As I said in my post-debate post, what I saw only confirms my plan to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson.

But who do the online polls think won? Admittedly, they aren't scientific, and some of them even might be rigged. But here are the results:

Drudge Report:
Donald Trump: 82.1%
Hillary Clinton: 17.9%
Total Votes: 480,044

Time:
Donald Trump: 53%
Hillary Clinton: 47%
Total Votes: 1,405,991

CNBC:
Donald Trump: 66%
Hillary Clinton: 34%
Total Votes: 754,066

Last night's debate was clearly a case of winning the battle but still losing the war. Clinton has a credibility problem that won't be fixed in one debate. And Trump's supporters are clearly the more avid.

Senate to vote Wednesday to override 9/11 lawsuit bill veto

The Senate will vote Wednesday to override President Barack Obama's veto of a bill to give victims and families of the 9/11 terrorist attacks the legal right to sue Saudi Arabia for any purported role in the plot, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday.

The measure will need a two-thirds vote of the chamber to succeed -- which is expected -- before going to the House for a similar override vote later this week.

It would be the first time in Obama's nearly eight years in office that one of his vetoes will be overturned.

The President opposes the bill because he says it could open the door to lawsuits against the US for actions taken by military service members, diplomats and others.

Obama expressed sympathy for the 9/11 families in his veto message Friday, but said he vetoed the bill because the law would hurt the effectiveness of the administration's action against terrorism by taking questions of foreign states' involvement in terrorism "out of the hands of national security and foreign policy professionals and placing them in the hands of private litigants and courts." 

The problem Obama faces is both his administration and the previous Bush administration have both let Saudi Arabia off the hook for their role in the 9/11 attacks. This is unpopular on a bipartisan basis, and now Obama is going to have to pay the price for it. If either of the last two presidents had shown some kind of diplomatic balls and confronted the Saudis publicly, this wouldn't be an issue.

Sorry Obama. You did nothing, and now we are taking it out of your hands completely. Just another item for your legacy of incompetence.
