People actually are Googling “Donald Trump Iraq,” like Hillary Clinton suggested at the final debate

[Sunlei]

Instead of awkwardly trying to send viewers to HillaryClinton.com during the final presidential debate, the Democratic nominee has decided everyone can just use Google for fact-checking.


Hillary Clinton said, “Donald is implying that he didn’t support the invasion of Iraq” and when her opponent Donald Trump twice interjected “Wrong!” she told the audience to just Google it. “You know, I just want everybody to go Google it. Google ‘Donald Trump Iraq’ and you will see the dozens of sources which verify that he was for the invasion of Iraq.”


Trump said “Wrong!” a third time, but some viewers followed her instructions. When Clinton made the comment, there was a surge of people searching the phrase “Donald Trump Iraq.” Since Google doesn’t disclose the absolute volume of the searches, it’s hard to know what percent of the electorate wanted to know more about Trump’s position, but it’s clear people did visit the search engine.

If you do choose to follow Clinton’s advice, you’ll find several fact-checking websites have verified that Trump did support the war and that his claims of opposition are false. Clinton doesn’t need to rely on her own website to clear up this debate issue.

actually can afford computers and the intenet.

7. Well, at the top now is a lying Trump ad.

Hillary Voted For The Iraq War - Donald Trump Opposed It‎
Adwww.donaldjtrump.com/Iraq‎

I hope people are smart enough to scroll down.

Oh, wow, just googled it again and the ad is gone. Did they run out of money?

8. I was a little worried about the results (so much RW garbage out there), but she must have known

ahead of time that the top results would show what she wanted or she wouldn't have brought it up.
