LOL at the “because he hasn’t yet fulfilled my most apocalyptic visions, he must be doing well” analysis… 😉 ---

Donald’s done well enough so far to hold onto his core. But he’s been rambling more in the last 15 minutes or so; has paced nervously; and has fallen back on his usual lines. ---

“If I were president, Captain Khan would have been alive today.” Uh-huh, sure, Donald. ---

Trump as just humping his chair while Clinton was speaking. I think he’s been replaced secretly by Alec Baldwin. ---

Is he just calling her Hillary while she just calls him Donald? Because you know that’s deliberate on her part. And once again, he didn’t answer the question, but for someone like my mother, she’d never know it. ---

As I just said in the other thread (and it is ridiculous that we have two separate threads for this), I don’t think Donald is doing as poorly as some of you are saying. In fact, I think he is doing much better than his performance in the first debate …so far. ---

In fact, I think he is doing much better than his performance in the first debate …so far. Didn’t everyone think he did fairly well in the first 30 minutes of the last debate? And then lost it? We’re only 40 minutes into this one. ---

I’m trying to remember who predicted Trump would drop out after the second debate. I see him setting up the “waah waah unfair” backdrop for this decision right now. ---

If Trump refrains from flinging his own poop he’ll have exceeded expectations. ---

Bad judgment, bad judgment… What a broken record. What a crock of crap. Donald trump looks like he’s flying on amphetamines. ---

This is an interesting answer to the question, linking her approach to Lincoln’s. ---

He’s doing a lot of interrupting, and bitching that he’s being treated unfairly. It makes him look like a big puss. ---

That’s a really inelegant change of topic to Russia. Uncomfortable answering the speech question, which she shouldn’t have been, and changed the subject.
