She and her team did a masterful job of research and preparation.
That Trump is still up all night tweeting lies about Machado is astoundingly dysfunctional.
I was pretty sure camp Clinton would be fully loaded but DAMN! I wonder if they knew how fully they'd succeed.
Trump isn't capable of self doubt but now that he's fully reactive, Clinton will consistently have the upper hand, IMO.

(7,178 posts)So funny towards the end of the debate when Trump got himself so riled up about HRC's looks & temperament & her really hurtful ads he looked at her but at that moment she was looking towards audience and almost about to burst out laughing.... Hahaha!
He thinks he's really laying it on her and she just thought he was hilarious! Bet that moment did not sit well with him!

(341 posts)even if you're a dyed in the wool republican, you're almost better off supporting Clinton.
A) you don't immediately lose all credibility as a person or politician.
B) I truly believe a Donald Trump presidency would rip the GOP in two. And would result in MASSIVE democratic gains in the congress in 2018. I'm not sure an HRC win causes the same thing for repubs. But, it definitely would unite their hateful Union against us.

(364 posts)This was by the producers and writers of The Good Wife and was on for 1 season in summer. It was awesome. It's about alien bugs crawling into politician's head thru their ears and changing their behavior and makes them so extreme and so unreasonable. It was a cross between political drama, comedy etc but truly based on the behavior of extremes by some politicians was a totally buyable theory. It reminded me of that when you said Hillary successfully crawled into Trump's head! I love that thought.
Watch BrainDead if you can, totally lovely show.
