I like the absence of a handshake. That says a lot. ---

That first question is on the nose. I’ve been struggling with exactly that question (how can teachers and parents deal with the nastiness of this election): my plans to teach my kids about the election in value-neutral terms as part of our unit on citizenship is kind of torpedoed by the adults-only tone. ---

First question: “Hey, that Donald Trump is a giant douchebag, right?” ---

Doesn’t mention him in first answer. Making him make this personal. ---

OK, if you’re doing a drinking game on “Make American Great Again”, please, stick to 3.2 beer or you’re going to die of alcohol poisoning. ---

The sniffing is less pronounced…yet, it’s there. Maybe he just has a really loud nose. ---

Trump completely ignoring the question, which he has to really. ---

Trump, not answering the question. Let’s see how many talking points he can get in 2 minutes. ---
