> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > Wow, he’s doubling down on Stop and Frisk. If it weren’t for the damage a Trump presidency would cause I would almost hope for him to win because it would be hilarious. Agreed, it would be hilarious to watch that catastrophe from my new home in New Zealand. ---

oooh, Russian cyber-attacks. Will more of Trump’s comments come back to bite him here? ---

> [@doubleminus](#): > > Look guys - I’m not American and I’m terrified that Trump might be president. Unfortunately, while I might be somewhat tone-deaf, and while I am watching Trump for the first time, he sounds much better than I expected. Obviously his claims are sometimes kind of funny, but listening to him while squinting with my brain and mostly following his prosody and gross rhetoric - he will well resonate with the undecided. Are we watching the same debate? Trump is getting schlonged here. ---

Trump’s standing up there snorting and sniffing like he’s in a Mucinex commercial, yet he’s been questioning Hillary’s health??? ---

I think Trump is going with his #1 strategy. If I say enough insane things nobody will be able to focus on any one of them and so none of them will matter. ---
