Trump's economic plan is 80's Supply-Side Reaganomics, that's been a proven failure for at least 25 years and, in it's purest form, has crashed Brownback's Kansas. It's a fantasy.
He's bitching about the poor condition of our infrastructure that his tax dodges haven't contributed to, and his hero reagan's deferred maintenance ruined to begin with.
I love how his response to Hillary pointing out that he stiffs his contractors is his same old line about how their work wasn't good enough. You would think his debate team would have trained him on a better line.
I don't know how to link to this, but on Twitter there's a live like/dislike poll that he links to, Hills is consistently getting a little higher than Trump. Consider the source, of course. https://twitter.com/FrankLuntz/status/78058447231…
Hey, anyone, when did Kali leave Wonkette? I have her in my Twitter feed but I just realized she's not on Wonkette anymore. (Sorry that I didn't notice earlier!)
Did he just say he was endorsed by ICE? wtf? A government agency does not endorse political candidates. And he said that in a presidential debate. This is fun.
Not for long:
Twitter: Cthulhu for America @cthulhu4america 5m5 minutes ago
Hillary: "Expert" on cybersecurity
Trump: Knows all about the Twitters
Cthulhu: What a cute primitive trinket you have
Trump’s awkward syntax on this nuclear weapons answer reminds me of Sarah’s Palin’s verbal acrobatics. People called Palin stupid; no one’s really saying that about Trump. Hmmm. Could that be a double standard???
Seth MacFarlane I've never in my lifetime seen babbling incoherence on a Presidential debate stage like Trump is displaying tonight. I'm in a nightmare.
Neil Gaiman Did anyone tell him that the camera is still on him when he isn't speaking? He keeps making strange little mouth-things. It's embarrassing.
Patton Oswalt: "I HAVE A MUCH BETTER TEMPERAMENT THAT SHE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!" he bellowed, spraying spittle.
And my fav:
Roxanne Gay: Donald, you lost the audience. Stop talking.
Hillary talks about how Trumps denigrates women and gives specific examples and Trump responds by saying that Hillary's commercials hurt his feelings and something about how Rosie O'Donnell deserves insults. #HUH?
Well, he solidified his support with people who are sold on him already, but he mad absolutely no progress with broadening his appeal. Hillary was likable, smart, prepared and she landed quite a few serious strikes. None of Trump's hit hard, or were particularly new.
I finally feel for the very first time that I truly am watching the woman who will be the next President of the United States. She's really going to win this.
NBC said that too. I forget which talking head, I think it was Chuckles, but the first thing out of his mouth was that Hillary "maybe over-prepared." WTF does that even mean? Who would even let that statement come out of their mouth? gag.
Smokey and I were talking about this: If Hillz was trying to sell you a house, she would talk about the specs. She would try to sell you a solid house where the windows are triple-paned, and the appliances are energy efficient. The school district is pretty good and the price is reasonable. Dwumpf would try to sell you something that is overpriced but has sweeping views and would not mention the cracks in the floorboards, the formaldehyde in the Chinese-produced drywall, but just look at these views!
Trump's claiming online polls are showing him winning big, because his racist alt-right bigots storm those. They absolutely matter, of course, just ask president Ron Paul!
Yeah, that's the same instinct that made Romney say, "I paid everything I owed and not one penny more," and the audience applaud as though that were somehow virtuous. They really all have the Leona Helmsley attitude that taxes are for suckers and little people.
from SoSH:"The turning point in this debate was when Trump could have gone off on emails for five minutes, but chose to quickly move past it because he had been baited into defending his taxes. Fox News has convinced me of this, and it is true."
Seriously, there's a town out thee that's offering a job in the little convenience store and two acres of land to anyone who agrees to move there. You can't get that kind of deal in L.A. !
Of course, for 6 months of the year it's a wind scoured, frozen hellscape, but you can always burn wood and read books. Lots of books.
It's hard to imagine a convenience store there. Do they sell slurpees and Slim Jims?
In the winter, people would stumble in, with a thousand-yard stare, ask for a pack of smokes and then sit quietly for a while before they say, "Please don't make me go back out there."
Cigs, kerosene, Motor oil, fishing tackle, Drakes Cakes and hand knit toques and woolen socks. Used crime novel paperbacks. Fritos and beer.
"Snowin's oot there again, eh?"
"Uh, huh. 'tis.
"Snowin's again tamorrah, eh?"
"Uh, huh."
"Fer fuck's sake, eh?"
"Eh!"
"Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver" ("My country isn't a country, it's winter") Gilles Vigneault
So I'm watching Alton Brown make sushi now and then after that will be watching Colbert's live post-debate show.
And of course the funny thing is that once she is president she will be incredibly gracious and invite him and Melania to state dinners and stuff because she's gracious and shrewd like that.
david ehrlich ✔ @davidehrlich
tonight, we are pretty much sending Hillary Clinton to drill into a giant asteroid & nuke it from the inside before it can destroy the earth
10:12 AM – 26 Sep 2016
Twitters: Clinton did something tonight that no journo has been able to do: surgically take him apart on his tax returns. She explained why it matters.
Right. She said she was this close to saying something, if it went on much longer. Well, the only step past where it already was is if they actually won the election. How much longer was she going to watch?
Couldn't hurt! Reminds me of a favorite restaurant. Yelp yahoos voted it best restaurant in USAmerica. Not hardly, but good BBQ. Regardless, folks flock to it from far and wide, nearly impossible to get in anymore…
“Should Trump win – I'm looking forward to seeing how he manages to gold leaf all the bathrooms in the WH and turn a personal profit on the remodel. No doubt television rights will be involved.”
"She would not look at her opponent directly, but at the camera as if she was selfishly speaking to those that knew her. But they don't really know her. Nor does anyone, even Bill for that matter. The Queen is in effect on the Stage."
Not that I will take my own advice…

Lester Holt LITERALLY GAVE YOU STATS, Trump. This lie isn't going to work.
You and your elitist numbers and facts n' stuff.
reagan
drink!FUUUuuuuuuSo Trump is trying the "calm" thing instead of the bullying thing.
Yeah, for now. There's 85 more minutes of this.
Yeah but he sneaked in a little condescension: "I want you to be happy."
"small loan"–yes, 1 mil was roughly 500 bucks in 1975.
Damn, could have bought a house with my paper route money
So, is Drumpf gonna move his manufacturing shit to the US?
"Many many billions of dollars.."
Prove it. Let's see those tax returns, you Thousandaire.
Uh, so the First Lady of Arkansas was supposed to make trade deals? L O L
Exactly.
Donny's coked up. *sniff*
Trump: "She has had 30 years, she should have been doing this better."
uh, Trump, she wasn't in office for 30 years.
I'm writing up a white paper in a public library now. You all let me know when it's safe to come out!
Hillary's gotten the needle under Trump's skin already. First 20 minutes.
He's denying the fact that he said the Chinese cooked Global Warming as a hoax th make money. It's on tape. In front of an audience.
230 years? Where the fuck is he even getting this?
Not to the White House.
The sphincter file.
Trump: "The first thing we do: Let's kill all the Robots."
I, for one, would welcome our new robot overlords long before I'd welcome him.
YES TRUMP WE GET IT BUT PORTMAN IS TELLING US THEY LEFT OHIO FOR MICHIGAN, NOT FOR OTHER COUNTRIES, WHICH ONE OF YOU IS A LIAR
"If we're actually going to look at the facts"
Har.
Hell of a hypothetical, coming from him.
I love how he is OK with interrupting Hillary several times but when she interrupted him ONCE he got up her nose about it.
Also, I love how when he got heated he started calling her Hillary.
Why isn't Holt stopping him?
"Have some more rope there, Donald."
I think Trump's over the "calm thing" already.
<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/l2SqgE5Ow7Zla5GQE/200w.gif" />
I feel a hell of a lot better after the first 20 minutes, not gonna lie.
Washing down the chocolate with red wine?
Watch out! He's gonna blow!
Cally's elsewhere, so we need to step up our FFSs, folks.
Lester Holt needs to shut him up. Although it does make him look like a bully.
"I know you live in your own reality…"
SNAP!
Is he seeming unhinged yet?
He's gone from zero to furious like a funny car.
Yes he was calm for about two minutes.
Hillary's really gotten under his skin now.
Yes she has. tee hee.
BIGLY! DRINK!
I love her demure smile when she knows he's busted in another lie.
I was noticing that, too.
She's good at this.
Fighting ISIS your entire adult life?

'No wonder you're fighting ISIS all your adult life!'

That was rich. Is his brain even actually connected to his mouth?
Hillz has been fighting ISIS her entire adult life? Wow! That's impressive!
His debate prep team done good.
Btw, the SparkleKarens only need 38 points to beat the Zika Jihadis.
Trump's economic plan is 80's Supply-Side Reaganomics, that's been a proven failure for at least 25 years and, in it's purest form, has crashed Brownback's Kansas. It's a fantasy.
Finally, Lester is trying to shut Donny the fuck up.

"He didn't pay any federal income tax."
"That makes me smart."
OFFS.
Not paying taxes makes you smart? Not the brightest bulb in the box, are you, Trump?
Hillary: "He didn't pay any federal income tax"
Trump: "That makes me smart"
Trump voters: "Whoot!"
Oh, Hillary's jamming the needle in to Trump's business dealings. That's his Achilles heel.
Tactical Nuclear flipout in 3…2…1…
WTF is he even saying? It's all rather circular.
That's his SOP. A blizzard of circular references and nonsense.

Jab! Go Hillary!!!
He's bitching about the poor condition of our infrastructure that his tax dodges haven't contributed to, and his hero reagan's deferred maintenance ruined to begin with.
"Continue to make americia homeless (again?)"
I love how his response to Hillary pointing out that he stiffs his contractors is his same old line about how their work wasn't good enough. You would think his debate team would have trained him on a better line.

There it is. The defining moment of this debate. (Sorry, Al Gore)
He showed his true colors there.
His comment about "Blacks and Hispanics living in hell" has gotten so many comments on Twitter. hahahaha.

There's a mental health problem on the stage right next to you.

Arguably it should be the Wonkville designated pic for the rest of the election.
STILL LMAO!! IT"S NOT NICE
Way to close the deal you pathetic fuck.
Well, he solidified his support with people who are sold on him already, but he mad absolutely no progress with broadening his appeal. Hillary was likable, smart, prepared and she landed quite a few serious strikes. None of Trump's hit hard, or were particularly new.
Don't forget to -in the 'He didn't shit himself' analysis.
"he wasn't as much of a train wreck as he could have been, so this debate really helped him"
I swear, someone's going to say something like that…
Absolutely.
I still think Hillary should have brought up his grotesquely tiny child-hands.
Ah, well. There's two more debates.
The media seems to disagree, he may have actually shit himself.
yay.
Jeezes, NBC has Fuck Toad and Nicole Wallace on now AARGH MUST KILL
RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The NPR feed from 88.1 Baltimore's on now. The world is getting much less red-tinged.
Aaaand… taxi for Mister Trump.
Trump has way more stammer-ina than Hillz, that's for sure.
PBS: Hillary won
CNN: Hillary won
Fox News: seems to be losing their fucking minds over his performance, so they probably think Hillary won
hahaha this is amazing
Is FOX having a Rove Moment over there? I hope so.
I finally feel for the very first time that I truly am watching the woman who will be the next President of the United States. She's really going to win this.
I love how for every response Trump finds a way to make it about himself, no matter how much of a stretch or how inappropriate. it's quite a gift.
There was a lot of talk about stop-and-frisk. I say, sure, go for it. Start in rural Michigan.
Peckerwood is tweeting: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump?lang=en
Anne Lamott says it well:
"She nailed it; fabulous. But here's the crazy thing: his poll #'s may remain high. This will be entirely be about voter turnout.
Former RNC head just said Hillary stopped Trump's momentum tonight.
Steele ?
Yeah, and now he's rolling his eyes at the Trump surrogate right now.

Twitter "The most presidential thing Hillary did tonight was keeping from laughing at Trump's antics all night."
awesome
Apparently the football game is as bad on defense as Trump is at debating. 38-25 with 14 minutes left? Really?
Hmmm, I may need to create a new trophy: Outscored by a Dwumpf.
Wow, a Dwumpf might win? Sad!
Haha, the NBC commentator just now said that one of Trump's operatives described the debate as "devastating."
devastating to whom?
Initial reactions from the PBS analysts was basically, "He was bad, but she explained things too much." She's a wonk! Come on!
NBC said that too. I forget which talking head, I think it was Chuckles, but the first thing out of his mouth was that Hillary "maybe over-prepared." WTF does that even mean? Who would even let that statement come out of their mouth? gag.
Smokey and I were talking about this: If Hillz was trying to sell you a house, she would talk about the specs. She would try to sell you a solid house where the windows are triple-paned, and the appliances are energy efficient. The school district is pretty good and the price is reasonable. Dwumpf would try to sell you something that is overpriced but has sweeping views and would not mention the cracks in the floorboards, the formaldehyde in the Chinese-produced drywall, but just look at these views!
That's a perfect analogy.
There's this one woman lying on Trump's behalf to the point where the other Republicans on the CNN panel are glaring in disbelief.
Mara Liasson on NPR: Hillary was a Happy Warrior tonight. And she dominated.
I have a feeling it's going be hard for them to maintain the false equivalency after tonight.

By the way, the Lloyd Bridges vs. Hillary mash is all over the intertubes.
"We'll take a drink every time Hillary coughs!" was in the comments.
So he doesn't want beer?
He's toast. I have faith in my country again.
Trump's claiming online polls are showing him winning big, because his racist alt-right bigots storm those. They absolutely matter, of course, just ask president Ron Paul!

Brit Hume: "the TV audience saw the faces of the two candidates… and she looked composed, smug sometimes, not necessarily attractive"
Brit Hume has looked smug and not necessarily attractive for thirty years.
How does he still have a jerb? Fucker needs to be deported.
Has Brit looked at himself lately?
Seriously. If a woman looked as haggard as he has for years she would have been out of a job long ago.
@darth 13 minutes ago
i guess the one thing donald didnt lie about was when he said he wasnt going to prepare for the debate
He also admitted he didn't pay any taxes. Even said "because I'm intelligent." POUNCE
Yeah, that's the same instinct that made Romney say, "I paid everything I owed and not one penny more," and the audience applaud as though that were somehow virtuous. They really all have the Leona Helmsley attitude that taxes are for suckers and little people.
From the Guardian debate liveblog:
Trump says he will 'absolutely' accept outcome of election
Trump walks through the spin room. He’s asked, “will you accept the outcome of this election?”
“Oh yes, absolutely I will,” he says.
From the horse’s mouth.
I think by the time the election actually happens and Hillary cleans his clock, he's going to want to put this so far behind him.
OMG Can't stop laughing………
Gimme some of yo' jazz cigarettes.
I don't know who Doug Henwood is, but he sounds like some righty, apparently who wrote a nasty book about Hillary. On Twitter:
"I’m no Hillaryite, ha ha. But am I wrong in thinking she’s kicking his ass?"
Haha, Kaili: "I don't think Donald Trump smiled even once during that whole debate. He'd be so much prettier if he'd just smile."
*snort*
Why is Dwumpf such an ice queen?! Smile, sugar!
Shit, how many times I've been told to do that my whole life practically gave me a goddamn complex.
this can't be real. https://twitter.com/FrankLuntz/status/78059488210…
Wife/Mother. Santorum might just be right, but only as it relates to republicans.
Only surprise to me: Only one congressman from Texas said that?

Bizarre.

#PLAY THE WOMAN CARD
Oh, I believed it was real from some Critter, I just had doubts about Luntz's tweet.
You can always talk to Unclesister… Wifemother never cares!
from SoSH:"The turning point in this debate was when Trump could have gone off on emails for five minutes, but chose to quickly move past it because he had been baited into defending his taxes. Fox News has convinced me of this, and it is true."
I feel better. Hillary was solid. Hopefully, enough of our fellow Americans will get out and vote. I know I really don't want to move to Quebec.
Yes. GOTV is still crucial.
I don't want to have to walk across frozen Lake Erie in December.

I'm taking over one of those abandoned fishing villages on Cape Breton and renaming it New Innsmouth, ,where I can resume the Experiments in peace.

Seriously, there's a town out thee that's offering a job in the little convenience store and two acres of land to anyone who agrees to move there. You can't get that kind of deal in L.A. !
Of course, for 6 months of the year it's a wind scoured, frozen hellscape, but you can always burn wood and read books. Lots of books.
It's hard to imagine a convenience store there. Do they sell slurpees and Slim Jims?
In the winter, people would stumble in, with a thousand-yard stare, ask for a pack of smokes and then sit quietly for a while before they say, "Please don't make me go back out there."
Cigs, kerosene, Motor oil, fishing tackle, Drakes Cakes and hand knit toques and woolen socks. Used crime novel paperbacks. Fritos and beer.

So I'm watching Alton Brown make sushi now and then after that will be watching Colbert's live post-debate show.
I have so much work to do tonight but I cannot stop watch all the reaction to this debate. It is like the whole country is finally exhaling.
Let's hope for a poll bump in a week or so. I feel so much better than 3 hours ago though.
God yes, me too.

Trump needs to practice this: Madam President.
And of course the funny thing is that once she is president she will be incredibly gracious and invite him and Melania to state dinners and stuff because she's gracious and shrewd like that.

From Teh Twitterez:
david ehrlich ✔ @davidehrlich
tonight, we are pretty much sending Hillary Clinton to drill into a giant asteroid & nuke it from the inside before it can destroy the earth
10:12 AM – 26 Sep 2016
Bwwahahaha!!!! #BEST
The asteroid seems to be fracturing!
first asteroid discovered that has nothing useful to mankind in it.
Twitters: Clinton did something tonight that no journo has been able to do: surgically take him apart on his tax returns. She explained why it matters.
Is this real?
@MeetThePress
.@chucktodd: #debatenight exposed Trump’s lack of preparation, but Clinton seemed over-prepared at times.
Sadly, it is true. And this guy gets paid millions to say things that stupid.
over-prepared compared to a hack reporter, sure.
Overprepared? Not sure you lose the undecided voters by knowing what you're doing, but good try, Chuck.
Atrios on Twitter: "Chuck Todd never overprepares"
He is , however, "overpaid."
Ana Marie Cox's response to Todd's comment:
"Yeah who would want that in a President?"
Clara Jeffrey:
"Groan. Only women are "over prepared." Men get to be "masterful" and "commanding."
"Trump is currently snorting a 6 inch rail of coke off Melania's left implant right now in his green room."
Okay I'm off to watch Colbert. Seems like we had a great night though!
Indeed. Whoot!
Is it wrong to find Nico2le Wallace attractive as well as intelligent?
This is precisely why the MUTE button was invented.
She's pretty enough to be a Trump daughter.
I have a primal hatred of her.
Meh, at least she had enough integrity to be revolted by the Klondike Kunt.
Right. She said she was this close to saying something, if it went on much longer. Well, the only step past where it already was is if they actually won the election. How much longer was she going to watch?
Haha, NYT being NYT: "Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump fell into a rut that reinforced both of their stereotypes"

“Should Trump win – I'm looking forward to seeing how he manages to gold leaf all the bathrooms in the WH and turn a personal profit on the remodel. No doubt television rights will be involved.”
Also, he had a glowing red thing coming out of his neck.
