They didn’t shake hands.

Trump looks like he’s walking to his execution.

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

I think you’re in a time loop.

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

Sniff!!!

Wonder why Trump hesitated to sit down?

Well here we go. Come on Donald don’t let me down!

Trump looks exhausted.

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

Was that a sniff??

He’s spouting a lot of numbers, trying to show he’s studied.

Three more sniffs, no, four.

Trump sniffing like mad. Guess DNC managed to sabotage the mic again.

Not answering the question

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.

Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!

He’s rambling on and on again. Anderson points out what the question was.

Here we go. Sexual assault.

What the fuck was that answer? (Trump)

Cooper: Do you understand you were bragging about sexual assault? Ow.
