The economy, which will last four minutes and then we’ll be back to insults. Clinton hitting her talking points and she’s all over the place. It’s like she’s trying to state her entire plan - oh, she name dropped Bernie. Trump’s writing notes as Clinton speaks, that’s new. He looks red. Trump claims Clinton will double your taxes. Oh, he’s back to Japan, Germany… wtf? ---

He’s going back to try to make a point in the last question instead of answering the one about taxes. Stop living in the past Donald! I wish Clinton would say this about the whole “allies have to pay thing”: If our allies fall, or switch allegiances, and take their money, their trade, and their influence from us, then you will WISH we allowed them to be protected for free. The reason we have them pay isn’t to shake them down for protection money. Its because we know that it would cost the US a lot more if the world is not under our direct influence. ---

“We’re gonna do a lot of things…” Oh, Donald. WHAT THINGS? Also, interesting how, earlier in the debate, Wallace was getting Donald to stay on track…but not this time – he’s just letting him ramble. Maybe better that way. ---

No one can translate Trumpese into English! No one! And, yes, Clinton’s strong on the debt. Not that I like deficit hawks, necessarily, but it surely hits Trump hard.
