Overheard backstage after the final Clinton-Trump debate

  1. “Hey, her suits in the three debates were red, white and blue, just like Elendil’s Heir predicted!”
  2. “I can’t wait until 3:00 am so I can tweet that I won.”
  3. “Instead of looking at me like that, Melania, spend some time remembering what life is like in Slovenia.”
  4. “Kill me now.” -Kellyanne Conway
  5. “You’re fired.”
  6. “I don’t think I accept the answers Mr. Trump gave. They’re rigged.”
  7. “That f–ing idiot Pence! I bet he gave smart, sensible answers just to make me look bad?”
  8. “NOW JUST FUCKING GO AWAY!!!”
  9. “I always thought Baio would be the traitor.” "“It’s a smart move. Busey was always smarter.”
  10. “Next season, we need to cast someone better looking for me to debate.”
  11. “This goddamn vending machine is rigged against me! Look at my Kit Kat just stuck there!”
  12. “Don’t blame us, we told him to say he would accept the election results!”
  13. “Did Clint Eastwood just take Mr. Trump’s chair?”

Pass.

Undisputedly, the greatest ever. Actually, Napoleon Lajoie the greatest Cleveland player, but they were not the “Clevelnd Indians” until 1915. Before then, the were the Cleveland Naps, named after their dominant player.
