Redstate: "As the heat was turned up, he dissolved into a pool of his own inadequacy."
the poor dears.......Then there was Trump.
Oh. My. God.
If there was ever any doubt that the man is completely unfit to lead, it should have been removed after last night.
Ill give him credit for making some very good points about the economy during the first few minutes of the debate, but he couldnt hang on for long. As the heat was turned up, he dissolved into a pool of his own inadequacy.

TRUMP: "I could just see Alicia Machado, the current Miss Universe, sitting there plumply."
In his book "The Art of The Comeback," Trump again ridiculed Machado in a section uncovered by the Washington Post.
The (1997 Miss Universe) pageant in Miami Beach, my first as owner, was a huge success. Wed sold out the house; it was a mob scene. From my position offstage, I was able to glance up to the greenroom occasionally. I could just see Alicia Machado, the current Miss Universe, sitting there plumply. God, what problems I had with this woman. First, she wins. Second, she gains fifty pounds. Third, I urge the committee not to fire her. Fourth, I go to the gym with her, in a show of support. Final act: She trashes me in The Washington Post after I stood by her the entire time. Whats wrong with this picture? Anyway, the best part about the evening was the knowledge that next year, she would no longer be Miss Universe.

Dear Millennials and/or Undecided Voters: If you vote for this man, you are an incredible pack of pinheads. If you need to wrap yourself in an elite political media that has been your warm and comforting blankie all year, have at it. But remember, by being Undecided, you are telling us you can't decide between a flawed but highly qualified woman and a vulgar talking yam who doubles down on his criticism of the looks of a woman who's never done anything to him except win a beauty contest.
Are you comfortable in that position? Does it make you feel good about yourself? Does it boost your self-esteem? Do you think it makes you sound smart and discerning? Do you, still? Maybe you should call Sean Hannity.

"Dear Millennials &/or Undecided Voters-If you vote for this man-you're incredible pack of pinheads"
Why Would You Vote for a Man This Insecure?
Trump can't resist reliving his own humiliation.
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE

No, he just can't let it go. He can't let anything go. Per ABC:
Trump made his remarks on "Fox and Friends" this morning in response to Clinton pointing out that Trump called Machado "Miss Piggy" while berating the Republican nominee's overall treatment of women. "She was the winner, and, you know, she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem," Trump said of Machado. "We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude, and we had a real problem with her." Trump spoke about Machado's appearance today while answering a question about whether or not Clinton had gotten under his skin. He said that she hadn't done so, and went on to describe Machado as "the worst we ever had," a reference to Miss Universe winners.
