I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

Amazing (except, y'know, not at all surprising) that Trump would go after Clinton for the unfairness of her ads, 100% of the ones I've seen being nothing more than a recap of the wit and wisdom of Donald Trump.

someone who either is andrea mitchell or looked like andrea mitchell to me when i wasn't wearing my glasses just explained to wolf blitzer that, after the debate, trump told her he "regretted" not mentioning bill clinton's affairs. what the fuck

(xpost) Thanks--I did hear that audio. The way Trump described it, I pictured some transparent blue curtain at the side of a stage, with Clinton and someone else behind it and arguing in silhouette, almost coming to blows.

he's acting like Cartman in that one SP episode where he's trying to keep everybody from finding the pic of his dick in Butters's mouth and just winds up voluntarily showing it to them anyway

xxpost Yes, that was the thing he was going to say but refrained from saying for the sake of good taste. A context-free comment about his opponent's husband's activities twenty years ago.

he said this on the ABC News post-debate stream. he said he didn't want to bring it up during the debate because Chelsea was in the room.

lol how gallant

he didnt say it cos Hillary woulda just replied "tell us again how hot your daughter is"

hm

trump has a second and third chance. if he thinks this approach failed, he'll try another one, but I doubt it will feel natural to him or anyone watching.

he thinks he did great and mentioned that he was very happy with the online polls even though none had come in, so I wouldn't count on it

He quoted the drudge but not by name.

Chris Matthews said all of the republicans at the debate, when off-camera, looked dejected.

if only for pics of that

...with Andrei Arsharvian 'shopped in!

Someone must have, right?

is there ever anything trump does or says that trump doesn't claim is amazingly magnificent? I know I've never heard anything less from him

Giuliani saying trump shouldn't do any more debates

yeah that was straight up awful for him. thing is I don't think Trump can change much but Clinton's team is definitely analyzing every second of this.

trumped up trickle down

that was awful

it looked like he was arguing with his family on the way out to their car

I don't know if this is real and I don't care:

Missed opportunity.

#cyber

"I've written a book about it"

no only that but she said "you can go to a bookstore and buy it"

Trump doesnt buy books come on now

btw I was watching the prediction markets during the debates, they opened at Clinton -170 and ended at Clinton -200 which means a lot of money on Hillary must've come in over the 90 minutes of the debate

Sorry Ted, it's kind of hard to understand you with Trump's nuts in your mouth.

Tonight, a clear contrast was drawn between the two nominees. Tonight, Hillary Clinton made it clearer than ever that if elected President, our future will continue on the same path that is hurting millions of Americans.

If Clinton is elected, we know that the havoc Obamacare is wreaking on American families, on small businesses, and on our healthcare system will continue. We know that President Obama’s relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry and to wage war on coal will continue. We know that the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism and the influx of unvetted refugees from nations infiltrated by terrorists will continue. We know that President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty will continue and even expand.

If Clinton is elected, we know that a liberal justice will be named to fill Scalia’s seat and we will lose the Supreme Court for a generation. With that, we know for a certainty that our right to keep and bear arms, our religious liberty and federalism are in danger.

Tonight we received insight into what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like for Americans. We know that her policies would kill jobs, reduce wages, and continue the downward spiral our country has endured under President Obama.

Tonight, Donald Trump had his strongest debate performance of the election cycle. He drew strong contrasts with Hillary on taxes, regulations, law and order, and the disastrous Iran deal.

Rather than Hillary's America, we need to take a different path. A path that would begin to restore our country from the damage it has suffered the last eight years. We need to unite to defend freedom and restore the Constitution. And Hillary Clinton made absolutely clear tonight she would not do so.

Chris Matthews said all of the republicans at the debate, when off-camera, looked dejected.

in fairness, they just mighta been musing on the fact that Chris Matthews exists in our universe.

haven't been so glad to miss something since the entire run of Lost.

What'd you watch instead, I was hoping you were having a nice time

the Mets, til i fell asleep

@DennisThePerrin

Hillary: "The more you help wealthy people, the better off we'll be. I don't agree with that." Goldman Sachs debate party erupts in laughter

waking up this morning and reading about the debate the main point seems to be that Trump was on cocaine, do I have that right?

how does cocaine poll? better than Clinton?

She don't lie.

@DennisThePerrin

Hillary: "The more you help wealthy people, the better off we'll be. I don't agree with that." Goldman Sachs debate party erupts in laughter

doubtless the first laughter Perrin has heard in some time

But Mr. Trump said mysteriously that he had “something extremely rough” to say about “Hillary and her family,” then added, “I can’t do it, I can’t do it.” He told CNN afterward that he was proud of “holding back” on Bill Clinton and his extramarital affairs because the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea, was in the audience.

He is such a shithead.

That's the kind of thing he does to lash out when he feels wounded, though. He probably know that he just got humiliated, badly.

(41% Democrats, 26% Republicans, 33% Moby Grape fans)

Great, we're polling better numbers than the Republicans and people said that couldn't happen.

lol sure Chelsea Clinton rite now is all like "what's this bad thing he was going to say? Mom? Dad? Don't avoid my eyes Dad..."

Until he explicitly clarified, I half assumed he was congratulating himself for the chivalrous restraint of not using the c-word during the debate.

My fave moment remains him boasting of his temperament immediately after losing his temper with the birther stuff.

By the way, has anyone called Hannity yet?

If he does get into Bill's terrible behavior, he gives her an easy route to sympathy -- yes, my family has had struggles like many families, none of us are perfect, but we work on it and work things out etc etc etc. She wouldn't even need to mention Trump's own serial bad behavior, enough people know about it all that the contrast will not work in his favor.

Just watching some highlights from this debate, Trump constantly referring to Clinton as 'her' is pretty unpleasant.

I called him Hannity earlier. It went to that stupid answering machine message of his where it beeps, but it's still part of the message. You know, so you start talking and he laughs and then it beeps properly? Anyway, I told him I had to talk to him urgently, that only he could settle this argument and save the republic. If he could confirm that he and Trump used to sit around, Trump talking about how great his hotels were while Hannity expressed amazement at how against the war Trump was, all might not be lost. The USA need a deus ex Hannity, and he has to answer that call.

I don't know if he still thinks I'm on the old number. For all our sakes, I hope he replies.
