Win. She's going to win, and YOU, Donald, better shut up and accept it.

Show some class for once. We'll see you in November.

Shit - Chris Matthews graded it 5 - 0 for Clinton. A shutout! "She cleaned his clock tonight." Referring to the film "A Few Good Men," he said "she was Tom Cruise, and he was Jack Nicholson."

"Absolute and complete incoherence" - Steve REPUBLICAN ANALYST Schmidt, on Trump. "Somewhere between incoherence and babble...just fundamentally unprepared and incoherent." Schmidt also said Hillary looked great, strong, masterful, vigorous, as far as the stamina question. He said a lot of Gary Johnson voters were leaning that way, but few of them gained any encouragement to lean toward Trump, from tonight. He noted that Hillary really scored with the whole "stamina" thing, saying that she looked "terrific, tonight, she looked strong, she looked capable."

She looked like a million bucks. And yeah, he looked, as Schmidt observed, like a runner who was running out of gas "as we hit the at about 45-50 minute mark in this debate." And WHOA! He as much as predicted her poll numbers were likely to go up in the next week or so because of this, as more people who had still been undecided might now more easily start making up their minds. Mentioning GOPers not comfortable with Trump, he said "there's nothing he did tonight that's going to pull them into his column."

Wow - even Nicolle Wallace, another GOPer, said "we held Hillary to high standards and tonight she exceeded them."

I think she's cool as a cucumber, knowledgeable, not speaking in slogans, and smart as a whip.

And yeah, she's kicking ass. Beautiful smiles. While he's over there being rude, butting in, and mugging, smirking, and sniffing!

She looked GREAT!

SNIFF!

September 27, 2016

Yeah, I heard that. You settle with no admission of guilt as a face-saving move.

That's part of what you agree to in order to settle - so you don't have to admit why you have to settle. That DOES NOT, under ANY circumstances, equate, straight across, to Not Guilty.

Plus smirks, lip puckers, weird grins, and SNIFFS!

Doin' something up in that nose, Donald?

I'd politely disagree - I think Hillary has gotten better-looking with age

She's a terrific-looking older woman. Jowls? Hardly. I'm in my early 60s and my neck is a lot messier-looking than hers. She hasn't had any work done, she hasn't had an eye job, she hasn't had a facelift. I've seen a million of 'em as a reporter covering Hollywood. You should have heard us in the press corps muttering smart-ass remarks to each other during the AFI tributes. The American Film Institute does a Lifetime Achievement Award gala every year, and it typically brings out "old Hollywood." I have seen more facelifts, more neck lifts, more hair plugs, more boob jobs, more butt lifts, more fillers, lip jobs, eye lifts, Botox, Juvederm, chemical peels, and the works. Holy Cow!

Notice, as long as we're being catty here - Andrea Mitchell's smile, for example. She has the typical mouth of someone who's had several facelifts, where the skin is pulled so taut that its consistency, its resilience - is all compromised. It's been pulled to shit. If you look at Mitchell when she's not well lit, you see how badly her facial skin has been pulled and weakened and compromised. You see the uneven texture, the subtle capillaries that now show, and the corners of the mouth. The upper lip is stretched abnormally, and the corners of the mouth extend artificially, almost like Jack Nicholson's Joker face-makeup in the "Batman" film. The corners of the mouth get pulled so tight that the tissue on the inside starts popping out. Go to @mitchellreports, her Twitter page, and look at her closed-lipped smile in the little photo on the left side. Telltale.

Hillary has aged well. She's doing something new with her hair, which I first noticed on her convention night. Showing a little white hair at the temples, which feathers into the rest of her blonde hair really nicely. Gives her a really lovely look. She ain't no teenager, okay? So she's not gonna look tight and bright. But I appreciate the wrinkles, the laugh lines and the slight bags under the eyes. It looks REAL. Her hair is styled in a most becoming professional woman style. And she's a LOT prettier now than she was as a student at Yale.

LOTS of sniffs.

Surprising. First thing I noticed. He's done dozens of 'em by now.

I used to work in rock radio for many years. People who sniffed out loud like that were those who were doing a lot of coke.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
