Trumpā€™s tweet about global warming being invented by and for China has gone from about 20k likes when I first looked it up during the debate to 45k likes now.

He was saying that heā€™d been all over the past few weeks and she stayed home.

This was what came to mind when Trump was trying to explain how his ā€œtempermentā€ was one of his greatest strengths:

You mean like getting sent away from Flint, MI, with his tail between his legs? Yeah, that was super presidential.

Oh well, thatā€™s a decent burn, then.

Oh, that mean preacher lady set him upā€¦ They loved it when he started talking about Clinton instead of the situation in Flint. /s

Lots of flailing my arms about and yelling incoherently. So basically Iā€™m acting just like Trump.

Thatā€™s not what happened in his fantasy land.

The commercials heā€™s complaining about are literally just Trump talking. Thatā€™s it.

I knowā€¦ WTF. He claims they were ā€œtaken out of contextā€ā€¦ but of his own mouth.

Indeed, but ask him again in a couple weeks, and heā€™ll deny ever having been anywhere near Flint.

I think he gets too much traction out of the whole "he was set up"narrative among his base to fully deny it.

The only winner tonight is the Voyager probe, which is speeding away from the Earth at 17 kilometers/second #debatenight

Not for long. The only thing that seems to have long-term traction are meaningless soundbites. Benghazi! Birth certificate! NAFTA bad! #bluelivesmatter!

Everything else is wordsalad.

I wonder how Trump would respond if you explained that George H. W. Bush was the president who actually signed NAFTA, and not Bill Clinton. I assume it would be to explain that Hillary Clinton created ISIS and something about seizing Iraqā€™s oil.

If she is too critical of Trump it will be turned against her. Itā€™s a delicate game that other canididates wouldnā€™t have to play.

She was really outdone on that front. Making Trump look exceedingly bad is really one of his strongest talents.

Iā€™m reminded of the time my ex took me to court to get a child support reduction and I just stood there and let him ramble on to the judge about what a great father he was and how hard his life was for 20 minutes. And then the judge awarded me twice what my ex wanted to pay. Iā€™ve never until tonight seen such a good example of ā€œgive him enough rope to hang himselfā€.
