And he has stepped all over them. The mic wasn't working, Lester Holt was a baddie, the whole thing was unfair. He has validated the CW that he lost. Brilliant.

I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

It's the campaign who think that's the smart play.


He said Lester was great, immediately after.

Their faces are very telling. Trump is not pleasing these women.

Suburban Women Find Little to Like in Donald Trump’s Debate Performance



A Republican woman who says she wants to like Trrump can't quite deal with his obnoxiousness:

“I truly want to like him,” she said. “I keep looking for something in him. But I can’t have my children grow up and look at him as someone to respect.”


Comment by another woman:

Ms. Melton, a registered Republican who manages a team of software engineers, said that if the election were today, Mrs. Clinton — whom she, too, called “so much more presidential” — would get her vote. That alone was a milestone, she added: “I come from a long line of Republican family members who will turn over in their graves.”
