“Well, here we go again.” Trump doesn’t know what Senators do, and he can’t help but interrupt. ---

In Clinton’s favor, if you’re going to rely on coaching to get through a debate, at least be coachable. Trump is reciting his talking points, but clumsily. He’s obviously listened to his people but he just throws the talking points out there randomly. ---

So annoying. She has not been a law maker for 30 years. She was a senator for 8 and a secretary of state for 4. Even when she was first lady, she did try to get laws past (healthcare, hello!). Why is this charge even allowed… ---

It is a dumb charge, although if he was effective he’d note that her experience argument is vastly overrated. She was a junior Senator and Secretary of State and that’s the sum of her actual experience. That’s mediocre for a Presidential candidate. ---

“Mr. Trump, shut the fuck up so we can talk about Syria”. OK, the Moderator didn’t actually say that. ---

> [@OldOlds](#): > > I’m telling you guys- there are an awful lot of people who will see this as a Trump win. No. It’s always about temperament at these debates and Trump is failing as badly as last time. And Clinton’s performance has improved. Trump has landed some punches(you can tell because she smiles when he does), but his performance is just terrible. ---

Trump probably doesn’t know Allepo is in Syria. Let’s see what he says when it’s his turn to speak. ---

Explicitly comparing Aleppo to the Holocaust. Good tack. I can’t wait to see how Trump fucks this one up.
