Give him credit for one thing: he’s taking his beating like a man and not interrupting.

What video? It’s not a video. It’s an audio clip. Stop calling it a video, k?

I caught a couple of sniffs on the Stern tapes I’ve heard.

?“It’s just words folks, it’s just words.”  
Donald’s excuse.

Our cities are a disaster?  
African Americans, Latinos…

Moderator interrupts, Trump argues with moderator.

Ludes?

Valium, maybe.

Hell, maybe they broke out the Thorazine.

Now: Words. He thinks it’s just words. And he can’t actually respond to her words.

I love how all Trump can do is weakly say “but things are so terrible!” While Hillary is taking notes about how she’s going to gut him on stage. Get him, Hillary! Send him home in a pinewood box!

I’m attacking the process that leads to this bullshit. Joe Biden got crapped on for “plagiarism”, yet 90% of what the average politician says comes from someone else. I just want them to be more open about it. Don’t say you’ve been “thinking” when other people have been doing it for you.

Here we go, Trump wasn’t as bad as Bill Clinton, or so he says.

Trump can’t keep a thought.  
He’s everywhere.

Tactical mistake by Trump to not sit. He will wear down before this is over.
