Note to the MSM – There is NO Horserace
Coming off 48 hours of non-stop outrage over a tape evidencing Trump’s complete contempt for women, along with the spectre of his previous debate performance wherein he repeatedly demonstrated his ignorance of every substantive issue, The Donald had an opportunity on Sunday night to prove his nay-sayers wrong. Instead, he spent 90 minutes proving them right.
In response to question after question on topics such as education, healthcare, taxes, international trade, and the crisis in Syria, Trump’s responses invariably focused on attacking his opponent – not on her policies, but her character.
While continually failing to respond to any questions with anything of substance, Trump instead responded by calling Hillary a liar and a “disaster”. He characterized her as either too stupid to know what a confidential email was, or too careless to appreciate its importance. He accused her of destroying the “evidence” of her wrongdoing, and threatened her with prosecution should he prevail in this election. He stated that she was full of hatred, and was someone who has never really accomplished anything in her life.
In addition to interrupting HRC repeatedly when it was her turn to speak, he used his allotted time – meant to respond to serious policy questions – to ramble incoherently, and rattle-off a never-ending string of non-facts that confirmed his total lack of knowledge about every topic raised.
Skulking around stage in a manner that alternated between a red-faced peacock and a predator ready to pounce, Trump left no one wondering what the phrase ”I moved on her like a bitch” meant.
To hear media bobbleheads declare post-debate that Mr. Yuuge Bigly had fared well, had put to rest any misgivings about his competence to govern, and had dispelled the notion that he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about was akin to hearing Bahgdad Bob insisting that there were no US tanks in Iraq – while watching him mowed down by one as he spoke.
We realize that the MSM wants – nay, NEEDS a horserace. It’s what keeps asses on the couch in the lead-up to election night; it’s what keeps advertisers pouring their millions into networks that promote the idea that it’s still anyone’s game, that anyone can still win this thing – all evidence to the contrary.
Well, here’s the not-so-late-breaking news: As of Sunday’s debate, Donald Trump, long thought to be a mindless idiot, confirmed his own stupidity. Having long been suspected of being a vulgar bigot, he finally removed all doubt. Knowing that he is perceived as a self-promoting, empty-headed blowhard, he displayed for all to see that that is exactly what he is.
There is no coming back from what the nation, and the world, witnessed. There is no unseeing what was fully on display; there is no unhearing what was said.
It’s over. The horserace ended the minute Trump walked out on stage, and all the psychobabble bullshit from media whores posing as legitimate journalists is never going to put it back on track.
But by all means, keep beating that dead horse. Keep dragging its rotting carcass around the turn, while insisting that he’s going to rally any second now and, in a last-minute upset, will win the day.
We understand. As we’ve all recognized for years, it’s not like you’re actually capable of doing anything else.

And Trump just delivered the Republican's horse to them.
As was the rest! 
He had his thumbs stuck in his pants when he stood behind her. It was a sexually intimidating pose.

But they need their anti-Hillary memes. It's literally ALL they've got - and all they will ever have.
