I liked her passionate statement about democratic traditions. Her justified outrage was clear. ---

I’d like someone to ask “Trump’s general” is Trump knows more than the military does. ---

C: No re-invasion of Iraq. T: Let’s crawl in our Time Masheen, go back to 2011 and violate the agreement we made with Iraq. ---

The idea that Clinton isn’t stomping Trump’s shit in is only possible because the bar is so low. He’s a sputtering, lying mess and she’s as presidential as a candidate we’ve seen in decades. ---

MacArthur is the paradigm of a great general. In a democratic society. Absolutely wonderful. ---

Mosul is Trump’s kryptonite. He is totally incoherent. ---

I got bored watching this one-sided ass kicking. This might be the most dominant debate performance I’ve seen ever. Wallace is actually doing a good job moderating, just as he did during the primaries. ---

How can she refrain from yelling, “You stupid, stupid, crazy, lying liar!” I sure as hell couldn’t maintain that poise and discipline. Good thing I’m not a politician. ---

Trump actually prepared for the Mosul question. A word salad as usual, but he did memorize a few facts, and sounded a bit more with it than he usually does.
