Trump's body language is really giving him away.

He really looks defensive and uncomfortable.

I flashed on what Tony Schwartz, the REAL writer of "The Art of the Deal," said weeks ago about Trump - that he had "the attention span of a gnat," "an attention span of three seconds," and even more vividly, "the attention span of a nine-year-old boy with ADHD." And MAN, that last one really held, tonight. Watching how poised she was, how adult, how composed, strong, in total command, and this dude over there was fidgeting, mugging, sniffing, grimacing throughout, it was so obvious. There was NO QUESTION which one of them was the adult in the room. They were on totally different planets. Rachel Maddow talked about how "he never stopped moving." Eugene Robinson talked about the contrast in temperament, how you wouldn't find much that was reassuring in having watched Trump. Quite the opposite as you watched Hillary Clinton.

Steve Schmidt made several references to Trump "running out of gas." "Babbling." "Incoherence." "Jibberish." Sheesh.

After their handshake, as she started forward to go shake Holt's hand, Don was manhandling her like she was Ivanka.

Intentional ploy to attempt to make himself look more authoritative?

You put your hand at their back, as though you are The Host, The Presider, The First-Among-Equals. It's a device.

It's the only way he could pretend he was Mr. Bigly.

Whoa! John Podesta - just speculating with Chris Matthews that Trump may not do the other two debates?! Whoa!

I commented during the watch party I attended that his face looked like an orangutan's asshole.
