That's not his face, that is a face someone scribbled on his ass and placed over his neck.

WTF does that last sentence even mean? He's demonstrably free of principles and I have no idea who the fuck he's ever led.

Trump is exactly like a little kid denying he ate the cupcake with icing smeared all over his face. I just want to keep asking any parents who might consider voting for Trump: do you really want the fucking president setting that kind of example for your kids? Really?!

That's re: the obvious and undeniable sniffing that he's currently denying.

the insertion of Machado at the last minute was really pretty genius on Hillary's part, I think. It was something that took him by surprise, made him look bad, and also served as irresistable bait for him to shoot himself in the foot with over the next couple news cycles. If she'd brought it up earlier it might have gotten buried and Trump might have overlooked it (or addressed it and moved on) - as it is he feels compelled (once again) to pick a fight with a sympathetic figure, making himself look terrible in the process, and distracts him from attacking Hillary. Hillary set it up to exploit his worst qualities, and it worked.

Clinton's made Machado the subject of a whole campaign video which is, I'm guessing, primarily aimed at Latina voters, since it's in Spanish:

There was only one thing I wished she'd have said, and that was during the bit about "how are you going to bring manufacturing jobs back?" It seemed like a great time to ask him where his ties are made.

He's been asked before and his answer is blah blah they devalued the currency blah blah, which is a terrible answer (not least because most people don't understand what it means).

Honestly, I don't know why Trump made overtures (however half-assed) to anyone but white people last night. Does he honestly not realize that he's lost a staggering percentage the non-white vote (probable answer: no, he probably does not realize either that fact or the fact that he's lost the election in large part because of that)?

Suddenly...Soup! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link

And he constantly undercut his "outreach" (so much concern for the black community, but let's bring back stop and frisk!).

Suddenly...Soup! (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:19 (seven years ago) link

otm, he completely failed to expand the reach of his campaign, which was the one thing he really needed to achieve last night

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:22 (seven years ago) link

Trump's overtures to black people aren't for black people, they're for guilty white people

I wish you could see my home. It's... it's so... exciting (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:31 (seven years ago) link

the Clinton affair stuff is really interesting as a political tack - does Team Trump really think that's going to cut into Clinton's support with women and shift women's votes over to Trump? As with the race stuff, it's a completely lunkheaded mis-reading of the audience, baffling in both its transparent hypocrisy and its likelihood to backfire.

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:32 (seven years ago) link

I'm willing to bet his handlers specifically told him to avoid making reference to Bill's extra-marital activities but he thought to himself, c'mon this stuff is gold, it'll make her head spin.

Gravy Spill in the Gravitron (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:36 (seven years ago) link

so, 12 days to the next debate. will trump show up? will he prepare any more or less than this time? will he have his people, the best people, set up his microphone in soundcheck?

There would've been absolutely nothing to gain from it other than a brief moment of self-satisfaction before she tore him to shreds with her well-prepared response.

Gravy Spill in the Gravitron (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:37 (seven years ago) link

next one is town hall, right? Every questioner will clearly be a crisis actor.

i think the same thing as last night is gonna happen - for the first 15-20 minutes he'll be on point and disciplined but after that he'll start losing it and become more and more unhinged

marcos, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:39 (seven years ago) link

I don't know, Trump might just stay home next time. He was treated so unfairly, so horribly. Disgraceful. He doesn't need it. Maybe he'll sue the soundcheck guy from last night.

Gravy Spill in the Gravitron (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:40 (seven years ago) link

I think there's a lot of evidence that trump is the kinda person who probably wouldn't benefit at all from cramming for a debate

iatee, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:43 (seven years ago) link

it's not like he's going to join toastmasters and actually learn the art of public speaking at this point. just going to keep rolling with the practiced repetitive phrases and a handful of points he jots down two hours before he hits the podium

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:50 (seven years ago) link

town hall probably a better venue for Trump cuz he will have an audience to play to

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link

Well, he sort of has a point, that he's made it this far propelled by BS rather than preparation. Barely organized, definitely not disciplined, etc. Why change now? He'd rather gamble with low stakes (his personal/ financial investment) and high rewards (the White House), which is sort of how he's run his business, with other people's money, letting others take the fall. When he was boasting of his new DC hotel last night, he even gave one of the more telling DGAF lines, about how he's in DC whether he gets the White House or no. Because he really does not give a fuck.

I dunno how true this is but apparently his campaign WAS training him for the debates for weeks and if so then lol

frogbs, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link

I think the best debate prep for trump would actually be a bunch of staffers trying to bait him while he tries to keep his cool

which obviously would never actually happen because he has a winning temperament etc. etc.

iatee, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link

Audience was not exactly chill and mute last night.

it was compared to his rallies and the GOP primary debates

xpost Audience was not exactly chill and mute last night.

yeah after a while it seemed like they realized that there wasn't really anything holt wasn't gonna shame them into being quiet

but if they're supposed to be totally quiet, why even have an audience?

iatee, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 17:59 (seven years ago) link

er, I combined two sentences, make that

" wasn't really anything holt could do and he wasn't gonna shame them into being quiet"

iatee, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 18:00 (seven years ago) link

tbh I think he does best with a feedback loop where he says things, gauges what he said that the audience responded to, and then just gives them more of the same. some of the transcripts of his campaign rallies make no sense because you're missing the audience reactions, and you just see a series of variations on the same words and phrases until it's boiled down to the shortest blurb, which he then barks at the crowd as people cheer

he gets some really weird reactions when he reuses those phrases, like running into a room and shouting "take the oil!" isn't going to go over as well
