The nation may survive, but the wound to hope and order will never fully heal - US elections 2016: the october surprises

Audience laughing at moderator sarcasm

She should have at least called him on the part about not saying "Check out sex tape." I can fact-check that in real time--he did say that.

Betting odds have bottomed out at this point, right?

Yes voting rights + reproductive rights + gay rights

the remaining few points presumably accounting for fanatics and irreducible uncertainty xp

lol the old guy over HRC's shoulder shaking his head about roe v wade and marriage equality. definitely an undecided voter!

xxxp yeah all priced in imo. very difficult for a 2 horse race with 30 days to go to get much above 90%.

oh my god scalia, good grief

justice scalia. great judge. died recently.

since the beginning of the debate HRC is down 0,6%

I like how this format allows them to walk around and shout the body language

down more tomorrow. bet on it

ken bone: happy to be here

Under Absolute Seige

this is the closest we've come to a climate change question and it sucks

Ken bone: an actually undecided man.

next question comes from porn gorg

was that questioner a real life parks and rec character

Poor Ken Bone. He chickened out of his hilarious one-liner he'd been practicing in the kitchen all week.

ken bone should replace pence imo

Trump is doing so well no Republican should ever again mentioning getting a new candidate. Trump is more than holding his own.

Is he really doing that well? Not watching yet but genuinely worried

Remember Newt still wants to be his VP

don't worry he's doing just fine

He's been doing great with the ladies.

he's clearing an extremely low bar but nothing that results in a comeback from where he is, and he may possibly have lost his VP and the GOP GOTV

Funny question!

I respect... His children...

He did better than the first one

Yeah, he's doing better

He promised to put Hillary in jail and trashed his VP. I don't think that's "doing well." But who knows.

nice answer from trump!

is this what you do all day

twitter rumors saying pence has asked to be removed from the ticket??

awkward handshake

last one he only really tanked in the last half hour. this one he did terribly during the opening questions then got calmer.

until costa or rucker reports that pence is off, i'm not buying it

trump-bone 2016

Clinton circulates to thank the Townhall, Trump huddles with his family.

Why is this pundit calling this a "wash"? Trump seemed exhausted and incoherent

Hah im watching football then watching this on the dvr. Just checkin in

Pence hasn't tweeted once during the debate?

Nice metaphor - one is still working GOTV and ads in swing states, the other is doubling down on his rally audiences and, uh, New Jersey

I could only stomach the first half hour, but Trump managed to drag everything so far down into the mud that both of them seemed to be losing. 'A wash' is the wrong term for something so unclean, but don't think Hillary won.

I don't think she was great, but I can't see that it matters. Maybe she was unnerved by the first half-hour. I would have been.

I thought she held her composure brilliantly and remained focused on the questions.

this seems otm re: the question of whether Trump performed well:

@SethAMandel
Trump got better as the night went on and he stopped talking about sexually assaulting women and jailing his opponent.

Chuck Todd and Nicole Wallace think he was better than last time b/c he got The Trump Base "elated." What does it matter?

she seemed like a pretty cool customer considering everything. she wasn't "great" but i think trump just unloaded his entire arsenal tonight, not sure what he's got left.
