15 minutes for Trump to lose his restraint and try to talk over Clinton, surprised it took that long.

Hillary is very composed and answering questions in a rational manner. Trump interrupting her. She ignored him. Trump is headed to his old primary self.

Trump is thirsty. I’m watching the split screen on MSNBC and Trump keeps sipping water.

It was reported that HRC included Tony Schwartz, ghostwriter of _Art of The Deal,_ among others, in her debate prep. Apparently Trump’s lack of substantive financial success is a major trigger point for him.

I have the picture on but the sound off. She looks very animated compared to him.

I won’t be able to stand this for long. Mostly wanted to see what she was wearing.

Anyone else notice that while Trump is talking, Hillary just watches him patiently, but while Hillary is talking, Trump sort of lightly fidgets? Purses his lips, shakes his head, etc. Looks like he’s barely holding it together. Maybe a miracle will happen and the media will pick that apart just as much as they would if Hillary did it.

Mr Trump, have you recently taken a nasal stimulant?

Hillary’s hitting her stride! Comparing economic plans with facts, ardently (not professorially) articulated.

Mr trump seems to be getting his debate style from Richard Nixon. He seems to be melting.

He looks like he is trying so, so hard to be Presidential. He’s white-knuckling, though.

HC taking notes during DJ’s time, not interrupting him. Sharp contrast between them.
