I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s honestly convinced himself that the Drudge Report flash poll is the zenith of debate scoring. Plus, the losing candidate ALWAYS wants more debates because they need the press. There’s no more real opportunities to get as many eyeballs at once to bring up raising ACA premiums or the latest Wikileaks or whatever. I could easily imagine Trump realizing that he’s behind in the polling and thinking that another one of those winning debates to pummel Clinton with the latest gossip is just what he needs now to get ahead “again”. ---

Just kinda picturing Trump completely losing it after the election and going full Howard Hughes. Locking himself in his suite in Trump Tower, divorcing Meliana, becoming a recluse wearing tissue boxes on his feet… ---

If this election ends with Donald Trump throwing down against Joe Biden, I won’t even need a bucket list. ---

Which means she’s doing it for free. She’s that batshit insane and has nothing better to do at this point. ---

Ok, did we cover [the ABA story](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/25/us/politics/donald-trump-lawsuits-american-bar-association.html?_r=1)? The one where the bar association composed a report that depicts Trump as a “libel bully”, who flails at his opponents with (usually) frivolous lawsuits in order to cow and subdue them? The report that has not been published because _the ABA is afraid of being sued?_ ---
