Maybe there was no hacking. We should get along with Russia. Because ISIS! Wonder if that loud sniff is his “lying like a motherfuck” tell. I pay 100s of millions in taxes. SNIFFFF. ---

Of course he flubs the return–milking a laugh line for all it’s worth, and then “I know nothing about Russia.” Heh. Edit: and the Post Office? HuH? ---

Trumps starts out well with getting rid of carried interest, then goes off the rails. He might have wanted to explain what carried interest is for the audience. ---

Donald is doing much better in the 2nd debate. His discussion of the tax code is quite good. Hillary did very well defending Obama Care and her desire to reform it. They nullified each other on character problems. His vulgar speech and her deletions of emails. Neither won on this. ---

She didn’t do squat. She was asked what she would do to reduce rates and all she said was that she would reduce rates. Not one word about how she would actually do it. ---

If you read what he said, it’s not at all “quite good”. Rambling is more like it.
