Nauseous

Am I the only one who woke up feeling physically ill and depressed because of that clusterfuck of a debate performance by Trump?

It's like waking up from a nightmare only to remember that it wasn't a dream after all, that someone as vulgar, rude, and repulsive as he is allowed to run for president?

I want out of this planet!

I think it was from all the tension. I'm going out for some fresh air and to blow away the stench-filled memory.

With all the (R) Heavyweights bailing out on him he knows
he's lost and there is no use in worrying about it.

I cannot abide the man. I would have been throwing things at the TV, yelling at the TV. I've seen a couple of clips
of his stalking behavior. I'll bet Hillary wanted to turn on him suddenly and kick him in the balls and tell him to stop
acting like a sexual predator and go sit down.

7. I felt like my guts had been ripped out and that I had been spat on. It was demoralizing.

I thought Hillary won, but the existence of Trump demeans us all.

12. Allowed? Any citizen over 35 is "allowed" to run for president

But it took the combined ballots of Republican voters all across the country to make him the party nominee.

Which is something I'm not inclined to let them forget for a very long time. Even though I suspect that by February or March of 2017 that the standard Republican response will be "Donald who?" whenever the 2016 campaign is brought up.

It reminded me of watching the movie "Blue Velvet" years ago, which likewise repulsed me with weirdness.

When he invaded her space it was as if I could feel it, and when he said he'd throw her in jail, I felt dread.

I'm so done with that creature bullying this country.

And I rarely watch the debates because they affect me..but..nothing, absolutely nothing I have ever watched in a debate affected me like what I saw last night with Trump.

But..I got to add this. Hillary dealt with it as good as anyone could. In a Presidential Way...!!!
