The “deplorables,” yeah, but surely the Republican leadership must be mortified watching this.

“I take advantage of the laws of the nation.”

And now he’s bragging about his DC hotel again.

Great approach from Clinton on emails.

This is a nice country… for him to poop on.

He’s talking about a building he’s putting up? WTF?!?

LOL, defending his choice to stiff contractors… not a winning strategy.

Race relations now.

he’s not denying that he didn’t pay those workers, and saying repeated bankruptcy is a good business decision.
Too bad the Trump voters are mostly watching MNF.

Is it just me or he doesn’t seem well? Like he’s about to topple over any minute?

Improv only works if you are naturally clever. He segues with the grace of a bowling ball.

Candidates’ Twitter accounts. AKA, the “shit I should have said at the time if I were witty enough” stream.

ramble sniff ramble sniff ramble sniff. WTF is Trump talking about?

It seems to me that the kind of things he’s saying will not resonant with the undecided voters. I think we’re going to see a drop for Trump in the polls.

The RACE topic. Not Donald’s strong suit. This is a potential powder keg topic.

If I had to guess, I’d say he was up all night and is probably on some kind of stimulant. He’s been known to take amphetamines for weight control.

I thought he had a great relationship with “the blacks”!

BTW, mad props to Lester Holt for his moderation so far. He’s been calm but firm about sticking to the agreed-upon format as closely as possible and hasn’t let the interruptions get out of hand.

Hope there’s a defibrillator nearby.

“everyone should respect the law”

And that was a rehearsed line???

I hope Conway is pulling her hair out right now. I hope it’s like watching a slasher flick for her; she knows how to save him but she’s powerless to help. “No! Don’t defend tax dodges and stuffing stiffing contractors!”

It’s because he is bursting at the seams to let the true Donald out and to hell with what his handlers have told him.

I don’t.
