The debate was a pretty good show. It was one of those events that reminds you how frighteningly competent Hillary Rodham Clinton is when policy and political knowledge are on display. And of the difference that preparation can make. It should be shown to junior high school kids as a scare film. "This is what happens when you study... and this is what you look like when you don't study." Stay in school, kids.
There was a lot in the media about it, ranging from Trump's cocaine habit sniffles (???), to the interruptions, to the point where Trump very nearly says that he will not accept Hillary as President. Or the point where Clinton repeated the way Trump described a Miss Universe winner as "Miss Piggy", and he demands to know where she got that information. OMG, someone broke the NDA, he's going to sue them so hard with his Jewish lawyers!!! Jew lawyers are the best, top notch people, believe me. Or the rambling response about nuclear weapons where he suggests that maybe Japan should get some nukes and that China should "go into" North Korea. Trump also mentioned that "stop and frisk" is not really unconstitutional as a response to a question on how to heal our racial divide.
After the debate, Trump complained about his microphone not working. There had to be some reason the crowd wasn't applauding him constantly amirite? Just like there had to be some reason when he was given a cybersecurity question, instead of mentioning the email server, he said, "The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough," before going off on how good his son was with computers and fat shaming.
In other campaign news, Gary "Aleppo" Johnson, when asked to name a living foreign leader he admired, drew a blank. His running mate Bill Weld seemed to be able to do it. So why are we picking VPs who are better than the candidates? Aren't the VPs supposed to be impeachment insurance?
