Go Anderson.

This was bragging about sexual assault. Do you understand that Donald?

No. Isn’t that a typical tactic of his… going on and on without answering the question. Nice shout out to the “African American” woman who asked it.

Are those the _non-rapist_ Hispanics?

“Nobody has more respect for woman than I do.” I laughed out loud!

Mrs. Clinton gave a good answer to her first question, although she sounded (typically) stiff. Mr. Trump counters immediate agreement and then with large numbers and scary talk.

Mrs. Clinton wins round 1, IMO.

Trump decided to skip straight ahead to the confused and listless phase of the debate.

Wow; I did not expect one of the moderators to confront him directly and so soon.

And he blew it.

He explicitly denied doing what he said he had done. He’s toast.

Clinton deserves to be president just for being able to keep a straight face through all of Trump’s stream-of-consciousness.

Yeah, Hill looks good from here. She actually comes across as personable, while he looks like he swallowed a toad.

Hillary’s Twitter feed is on rapid reaction right now. Talking points, Trump quotes, more. Pretty good stuff.

His Twitter feed? Silent.

ETA: I just checked Trumps feed again - started posting about 2 minutes prior to me typing this. Damn him! 😛

That’s the training you get as Secretary of State, years of listening to crazy blowhards without reacting.
