Oh, how smart is this? Trump ranting about the Fed like he can do anything given their independence. ;^)

Gotta love grifter Trump saying typical politician talking a lot of stuff. ;^)

LMAO! Trump just said the following:

“The wealthy will create the jobs………”

Yeah Mein Furor, SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE THEY WILL.

And I’m Pope Francis I.

’Nuff said.

So Hillary claims Trump is full bore trickle down economics and Trump decides to add an exclamation mark.

So, gang, who looks better? Trump interruption eruptions or Hillary calmly dealing with Def Furor with a smirk?

So far trump is holding his ground.

It didn’t take Trump very long to erupt now did it?

commented 2016-09-26 21:20:43 -0400 · Flag

Yeah, Trump. Keep drinking water to cool down. We’ll roll up a barrow for you. :^)

Hillary’s opening was too scripted. I started to worry.

For about 2 minutes he looked composed and coherent in his opening. Then Hillary got her response and jabbed Trump.

All it took was Lester to ask a follow and Trump started to babble. Lester had to ask him to actually answer the question. More babbling.

Now Hillary’s schooling Trump and he’s stewing like a child in timeout.

She’s rattling his cage a little.

Sounds like he’s got nafta wrong. Hillary has to check him on that but he’s on to something else.

“Trumped up”

commented 2016-09-26 21:11:03 -0400 · Flag

Kind of a snoozer 10 minutes in.

commented 2016-09-26 21:02:01 -0400 · Flag

Waiting for the “let’s get ready to rumble”.

DItto.

What’s the betting pool on when Long Dong Donald spews out his first lie of the night? Debate starts at 6 pm Pacific Coast time. Introductions and then Hillary gets the first question. So I figure about 6:06 pm. At the latest.
