Trump looks like he’s walking to his execution. ---

Hillary win the coin toss. Will Trump claim it was rigged? ---

Hillary looks energetic. She’s addressing the audience like a pro. ---

OK. First question was only addressed obliquely by Hillary and not at all by Trump. Yawn. ---

He’s spouting a lot of numbers, trying to show he’s studied. Three more sniffs, no, four. ---

Oh, dear, he’s blowing his whole wad on the first question – and not answering the question in any way at all. ---

Whoa. Clinton’s already looking more natural than her norm while Trump is being calm in an exaggerated way. Sounds as lifeless as Dukakis, although he came with numbers, so that’s better than his usual. ---

He’s rambling on and on again. Anderson points out what the question was. Here we go. Sexual assault. ---
