** SDMB live coverage thread, 2nd POTUS debate, 10/09/2016 **

Is one of the blonde women sitting with the Trump family Ivanka? It’s hard to tell.

Trump’s family didn’t look too happy. I’m betting they would like to crawl under the seat from embarrassment.

Ivanka “My father is not a groper” Trump?

Yes, Ivanka showed up.

I thought it was interesting that Chelsea didn’t come out with Bill Clinton. I don’t think she wanted to shake hands with any of the Trumpkins. I’d guess the Ivanka/Chelsea friendship is on shaky ground. (Understatement intentional.)

Time to send those < 17 out of the room.

I don’t think so. They’ve been supporting and defending this monster for years. They have no shame.

Chelsea is there.

Never mind. She’s sitting with Melania & her brothers. Both women have a kind of sad, vacant look in their eyes. Ivanka’s husband is missing in action.

I know what your intention was, but it has not worked out like that. Even if you’re not, I’m annoyed that there are two discussions going on in two different threads. Grrr.

Paula Jones thinks this helps Trump? That’s crazy.

What the fuck did he just say! OMG! He didn’t really say that!

Trump looks really tired. Hillary is peppy and smart looking. - no hand shake.

No handshake!

I know she’s there, but she didn’t come out with Bill. She and her husband joined Bill after the hand-shaking portion of the proceedings.

I wouldn’t blame Clinton at all if she refused to shake Trump’s hand.

and you are correct.

No handshake!!!

Huh?

Modeling appropriate behavior question. Go Hillary
