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

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

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?

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

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.

HRC's objective for the next month is the same as it was a week ago: don't say the N-word or slutshame the troops, get out the vote, bait Trump

she could win this election from a cabin in the Catskills

i think trump just unloaded his entire arsenal tonight, not sure what he's got left.

actually pissing on stuff

like the flag, for example

while blaming Obama

I dont understand how ppl arent talking about how he looked drugged and was pacing around

Lindy West – Verified account ‏@thelindywest

so trump talked for 40:10 & clinton talked for 39:05, yet he threw 47 tantrums about not getting equal time. men think equality = oppression

entire arsenal

Guns can be reloaded. Wouldn't be surprised if he was so tonedeaf to voter reaction outside the Trumpbase that he dragged out the Bill accusers again.

Watch the "she's got hate on her heart" get play for the next 30 days.

trying to analyze trump in this debate is like trying to provide a critical analysis of un chien andalou.

lol

is he holding the razor or is he the razor

I think he's the piano covered in corpses

none of the cnn pundits are talking about the fact that trump literally threatened to imprison his political opponent

we're definitely the eyeball

Lindy west otm

The other reason why it's weird to discuss who 'won' and 'lost' the debate is because Hillary won the election at the last debate...

must keep up appearances

hrc's answers were kinda crappy for the most part but i think that was because she emotionally disconnected herself in order to survive this debate... i mean these must have been excrutiating circumstances for her, and she held it together. hats off, imo.

*excruciating

it was a victory for trump only in the sense that he probably didn't alienate anyone new (a tall task even for him) but in that he is way down and doesn't have enough votes to win i think it was an utter failure because i don't think he captured a single new vote.

he got The Trump Base "elated." What does it matter?

Agreed on both - A. He did elate the Limbaugh/Hannity/Bannon crowd. As Maddow and Matthews are saying on msnbc, the base is going to declare victory. They'll be crowing tomorrow. And B. It won't matter.

It'll be just a few days before the polling will show the effects of the Access Hollywood stuff, and then they'll be back to spluttering "but... BENGHAZI"

Sadly Pence via Twitter has telegraphed that he's staying in.

every speech/debate of his

btw frogbs and Treeship I rly suggest you two grab a spa weekend or something before the election, get a massage and some sort of mud treatment and turn off yr phones

if trump actually had any debating skills or self-control he could have done a lot more damage with all his material, but it was all he could do to try and just plop it all out there

frogbs' resistance to data at this point is NRO level.

xp i mean if you want to drag her down using bill, you don't do it by blurting out, CHILD RAPIST, no one's gonna bite at that
