Hillary keeps smiling. Is it just her effort to look more relatable than Trump, or is she happy that Trump is pissing his pants on stage again? ---

As a Republican, this is awful. Is Pence our nominee yet? Can I at least get a chip of some sort that I can give back when an embarrassing moment happens in 2020 or 2024…or 2032? ---

Look at her face. You can tell she prepared for this. And now he’s threatening her. And she couldn’t be happier. She’s lived this longer than he’s ever kept a wife. ---

So Trump is basically saying all the same things he said last time, except doubling down (at a minimum). ---

> [@oft\_wears\_hats](#): > > Hillary keeps smiling. Is it just her effort to look more relatable than Trump, or is she happy that Trump is pissing his pants on stage again? She’s happy Trump is stepping into a trap. None of this is new, all of this is baked into her numbers at this point, and she knows it can’t hurt now. ---

The audience didn’t like her saying that everything he said was false. She may be the better qualified candidate, but trying to defend her own honesty and ethics isn’t going to do her any more good than trying to defend Bill’s loyalty [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-live-coverage-thread-2nd-potus-debate-10-09-2016/767737.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-live-coverage-thread-2nd-potus-debate-10-09-2016/767737.md?page=14)
