Applause for HC for “I prepared to be POTUS”.

I’m afraid you Dopers are in the intellectual echo chamber. Trump has another 30 minutes to lose control, but right now I expect his poll numbers to increase.

You guys are talking as though the undecided voters are sentient and sober. I hope you’re right, but I have a bad feeling. Trump’s rude interruptions win him support — it shows he’s “strong and manly.”

HILARY!! That fucking rocked.

OoooooOOOOOOoooooohhhhh. Birtherism.

Yay! Birther time!

“Y’know what else I prepared for?” Great sound bite.

And now Holt brings up the birther stuff.

And they’re doing birtherism now.

No, Donald, Clinton did not invent birtherism.

“I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate.”

BOOM!

Everytime he says “so” without finishing the thought, I think I’m watching Match Game.

him: “They’ve been so badly treated…”

us: “How bad was it?”

I prepared to be president. - Hillary

Very strong response.

Holt calling Trump out bigly.

Love her amused face.

Why does he keep saying he settled the birther thing? Who gives a shit? Non-issue that you were the one pushing, jerk!

Jesus, Trump really is raving like a lunatic. I’m not saying that to be mean, and I’m not saying it because I’m a Hillary supporter. He really acts like a speed freak gone wild.

“Well, just listen to what you heard.” (laughter)

It’s definitely ineffective. And unconstitutional. Just not the latter because the former.

A small mistake, but WillFarnaby has to clutch at straws.

She had been preparing to be POTUS her whole life.

When you talk about healing … ::::SNIFFF!::::::
