My feelings about the debate all day.
Tuesday Evening Open Thread: Make America I DID NOT SAY THAT
Make America I Did Not Say That

I’m beginning to think that’s not pancake makeup, it’s tinted spackle covering the dings in Trump’s very, very, very thin skin.
Apart from some well-earned gloating, what’s on the agenda for the evening?
TRUMP: If anything it's the opposite: I didn't call because of how PROUD I felt!
RYAN: OK.

TRUMP: After my morning interviews I went back to my hotel room. Just sat there, holding my knees, rocking.
RYAN:

Hillary Preparedness Guide
Because Chuck Todd is a tool and Balloon-Juice commenters rock, here is my version of the Hillary Preparedness guide.
H/T to Corner Stone, Punchy and to Wapiti for the list.

Stop your messing around
I don’t think one-on-one debates are a good forum for Trump. His debate strategy is to show up unprepared and make a few “LOOK AT ME” comments that gets attention from the media. That worked great with ten people because preparation matters less when you’re only answering ten minutes of questions instead of 45 and because getting people to look at you with ten others on stage is a challenge whereas with two the whole goddamn world is looking at you anyway. Also too, his fuse is too short to deal with prolonged mano a mano conflict.
So this didn’t surprise me at all. In fact, I predicted last night to friends that Trump would try to skip the other debates:
“If I were Donald Trump, I wouldn’t participate in another debate unless I was promised the journalist would act like a journalist, and not an ignorant fact check,” Giuliani said late Monday night in the post-debate spin room, according to video provided by Bloomberg.
Establishment journalists are such cucks that they might give into this bullying and let Trump do a 2 hour informercial in place of a debate, but they really ought to tell him to fuck himself, that if we wants to bargain, their offer is this: nothing, not even the money that they usually pay Corey Lewandowski, which would they would appreciate if he would put up personally.
