So far, both candidates are rehashing their greatest hits. Which means Hillary is sounding like a president, and Donald is sounding like a right-wing radio bloviator.
Chris Wallace (surprise!) is straining himself trying to rescue Trump from himself. Trump spent the first 20 minutes acting like he was on horse tranqs; then he began snuffling again, and started shouting more greatest hits from his primary glory days.
At the 9:30 mark, Wallace managed to distract Trump from ‘she wants open borders! radical Islamic terrorism!’… by bringing up Putin. So Clinton gets to bring up Russia trying to interfere with the American electoral system… and Trump gets to defend Putin and insist, once again, that ‘we don’t know’ whether Russia is responsible for ‘any hacking, stuff like that.’
And he’s sniffling a lot.
Trump is now polling 1 point away from becoming the biggest loser in modern presidential history https://t.co/DNlvEEJEz8 #evangelicaltrump

Back with the “why don’t they attack with surprise?” line. It’s a stupid argument. And he’s back to his incoherent rambling.

@SiubhanDuinne, liberal mob enforcer bitch: He wants to be rubbing his genitals right now. Obvs.

That is going to be devastating for Trump. Wallace couldn’t change the topic quickly enough after that bit of political suicide.

You could use General Patton as a ceiling fan. Bits tend to drop off every now and then, but it’s so cooling.

Why didn’t that Hitler guy flee Berlin before the Russkies got there, they knew they were coming for months?

“Whatever happened to the element of surprise?”
Hard fought retaking of villages and townlets surrounding and on the way to Mosul kind of a tell, Don-don.

my god. he’s just saying Mosul over and over again, I mean, that’s just the totality of his response.

Baiting Trump is so damn easy. He’s the most thin-skinned buffoon the Republicans could have ever nominated.

Trump: “he violated the red line in the sand” while talking about Mosul.

Are you listening, US military, everyone in our government, all the federal employees? Trump thinks you’re stupid, stupid, stupid.
Run, Lillian!
My sister, who doesn’t like Hils but hates Trump and is voting against him has gotten sucked into the debate and is now cheering on Hillary. She is thoroughly impressed. I am telling you these debates are a good thing because they give less informed people a chance to see Hillary without all the media bias. And they like her!

Trump reminds me of the guys on late night AM radio I’d sometimes listen to in college.

@SiubhanDuinne, liberal mob enforcer bitch: I assume he’s trying to keep his snorting noises outside the sweet spot of the microphone.

Drumpf trying to sound “presidential” is sarcastic, condescending and stupid.

My wife is texting 2 of her friends and they are both depressing her because they don’t think Hillary is doing well. She needs better friends.

@Mary G: Using whining about the Emmys was amusing, and viewers will get that, whether they can find Mosul on a map or not.

“The stupidity of our country.”
“He’ll consider it [The election results].”
His VP doesn’t speak for him. His daughter doesn’t speak for him. In fact He, Trump, can’t speak for He, Trump, further than a day ahead.

Trump is making the entire debate all about Clinton’s character, and he’s getting the snot slapped out of him.

Wallace is crushing Trump on foreign policy. Interesting.

“He is rambling on without even knowing what is coming out of his stupid mouth.”
This is just par for the course when it comes to Trump. He’s the grand marshal of wingnuts.

Wallace calls him out on lying.
I like the fact that Wallace is at least not letting poisonous silences develop after Trump shoots his noisy blanks. I’ll give him that.

Sounds like Donnie’s ISP better add some capacity to handle the late night tweets that will come from this…

I keep expecting him to veer into the Alec Baldwin version:
“Wrong.”
“Wrong.”
“Warmer.”

He aint gonna call her anything except “MADAME PRESIDENT” like everyone else. She put the collar and muzzle on him and attached the leash. She occasionally has to yank it, but the dude is “under control”.

I didn’t watch the whole debate, but I thought Hillary was pretty good. Poised, well-spoken, appropriately fired up or speaking calmly. Best I can say about Donald was that he wasn’t sniffing as much (I tuned in at 9:30ish)
