Since we’re talking news: Nate Silver will be on Colbert tonight. (I’d been following the 538 live thread.) ---

Hillary is still there doing a good job making a connection with everyone in the room. ---

Trump’s dumbest moment, to me, might have been about three-quarters through, when he (unprovoked) suggested most of many Syrian refugees are ISIS symoathizers. Many of them are ISIS victims, you prick! Trump was well advised to (lyingly) downplay the “rigged” crap. (Lyingly, because he obviously HAS whipped up these “rigged” claims in tweets and rally speeches). At least he seems to understand the gravity of undermining faith in our democratic system. (Or at least he seems to understand the importance of temporarily APPEARING to care about this). ---

The headline everywhere is a variation of this: Trump Won’t Say if He Will Accept Election Results ‘I’LL KEEP YOU IN SUSPENSE’ Trumpty Dumpty is a sore loser. ---

Trump runs off in a black SUV, Clinton stays to shake hands. Good visual ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Biggest headline by far is that Trump won’t agree to concede the election if he loses. Absolutely. I think one thing the vast majority of Americans—whatever their political affiliation—are proud of, and expect, is the peaceful transition of power. When the outgoing president of one party sits respectfully to the side as a president-elect from the other party takes the oath of office and there is no threat of insurrection or a military junta shooting RPGs at the dais. The peaceful ceding of the White House is one of the things the USA definitely gets right. ---

He wants to keep the spotlight on himself. That’s what “I’ll keep you in suspense” is all about. Don’t aim those cameras anywhere else! I’M still the news! ---

I thought these debates would be fun and zany, like that movie “Spaceballs.” But instead, they were dark and disturbing, like that movie “Police Academy.” ---

One candidate says American democracy is a sham and defends espionage against the US and people are saying he did well in the debate. Amazing. ---
