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
