Soooooo Hillary has to be warm yet tough. Presidential yet down to Earth. Donald Trump has to not fling poo. Seems fair.

Also, Hillary better not correct Trump's lies too much or she'll look bossy. https://t.co/M2yzRXaYqJ

To be fair, they had to keep it short because that's all the cheat notes that would fit on Trump's miniature hand. https://t.co/K9WJR9Gmw9

Yes. Hillary Clinton must control her famously emotional nature. One might even say she’s given to hysterics.

Hey, whoever isn’t blocked from Chuck Todd or Halperin – hammer their Twitter timelines with Farenthold links.

I have this weird quirk where I get nervous before HRC debates/testimony.
And then I watch her for 5-10 minutes, and she’s so fucking articulate and prepared and intelligent that I relax and wonder what I was so worried about.
Hoping this night goes as usual for me…
Prediction: Trump’s split-screen reactions to HRC will be a big deal tomorrow.

Is there an actual rule against wearing wires and suspicious boxes on your back like Bush did?

if you’d rather do something else, “The Revenant” is showing on HBO2 at 9:00 p.m. ET. That’s the one where Leonardo DiCaprio almost gets eaten by a bear.

Anyone who judges Trump against “low expectations” is making an active *choice* that helps him politically:

It seems like yesterday I watched the first Obama-mittens debate. That did not go well. Tonight will. Hillary is going to crush drumph. She’s been waiting for this. For years. @Baud: Thanks from a long time lurker and once in a blue moon poster.

@Mustang Bobby: Boring as hell. Fell asleep the first time I tried to get through it.
Got “Lose Yourself”…breaking out PBO’s hype tunes.

On the Guardian liveblog they have a picture of Rudy Guliani literally kissing Miriam Adelson’s ring.

Hot bubble bath and a good book (Annie Proulx’s Wyoming Stories). And sleep. That’s it for me. I can catch the highlights tomorrow……..

Remember everyone, no bathroom breaks.

I need to watch the debate to help me decide.
On one hand, Trump is a race baiting, wife raping, immigrant hating, Putin fellating, fat shaming, business failing, demogoguing, draft dodging, flip flopping, handicap mocking, violence inciting, ally fighting, climate change denying, pathologically lying, insult sending, diplomacy ending, small business screwing, KKK wooing, Muslim banning, university scamming, NATO leaving, daughter skeeving, fascistic, sexist, egomaniacal, grade A douchebag.
On the other hand, Clinton used TWO EMAIL SERVERS! TWO!!
This is such a tough call.

@Botsplainer: You remind me of Murphy Brown on the old TV show. She was a reporter who’d been banned from the WH because she let her disdain of GHWBush get the better of her. Then she was sorry. :-) For being banned, not for what she did or said.

Bloomberg TV is going to be fact checking in real time.

I have a lot of confidence in Hillary. She is smart, tough, funny, decisive, and driven. She’ll make an excellent President. I hope she gets the chance to communicate her ideas to the American public. Whether they hear her or not is not in her control.
Good luck!

Judging Trump the winner based upon low expectations is like saying Little Sisters of the Poor actually beat Alabama because they only lost by 700 instead of 800.

I’m on a flight from Chicago to San Jose so I’ll miss the whole thing. I sprung for the $8 wifi so the I could follow the BJ commentary. Don’t let me down.

Trump is already doing that weird breathing/sniffing thing.
Old Dan and Little Anne
Holy superlatives! Fuck you, drumph,
Old Dan and Little Anne
Get him, Hillary!

Why does he keep sniffing?
SFAW
@Joyce Harmon:
Might be obesity-related.
Oh, I forgot, his “doctor” says he’s merely overweight, because Trump “weighs” 230 lb.
If Trump weighs 230, then I’m as thin as Abebe Bikila.
