Clinton: clearly leans toward activist court. ---

She’s not answering the Supreme Court question, “set in stone or living document?” ---

Anyway, Clinton looks to be angling for more Sanders supporters. Smart. Good jab at the Senate. ---

bringing up Ginsburg’s partisanship is a handy response. I wonder if he prepped for this one. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > She’s not answering the Supreme Court question, “set in stone or living document?” Because that’s a book-length answer and she has less than a minute. She couldn’t do any good on the question. Anyway, Trump can’t avoid insulting people. And does he seriously think he can pack the court? Seriously? FDR couldn’t do that, and FDR was a God-King compared to anything Trump can bring to the table. ---

“Supreme Court” is the first topic. Hillary Clinton sounds crazy scripted. I mean, it’s good words, she hits good points, but she really does sound like a kid reciting an essay. Also, her outfit looks like something a civilian would wear in “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Donald Trump: “The Supreme Court, it’s what it’s all about.” He’s pissed at Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Going to the Second Amendment and pro-life and insisting Clinton won’t win, almost as if to say “No, I’m not panicking or giving up.” Really, really trying to sound calm. Stiull claims he has a list of 20 justices. Stayed on topic in his first two minutes. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Trump is blowing it in his first 60 seconds. how so? Seemed like a fine answer to me, at least for Trump standards. ---

Trump’s face looks swollen. One of his eyes is very squinty. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/official-third-debate-10-19-16-thread/768995.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/official-third-debate-10-19-16-thread/768995.md?page=8)
