(37,457 posts)I hope I don't regret because I know Der Trumpenfuhrer will throw every imaginable ball of shit at Secretary Clinton, and to way too much of America, he will win the debate. ARGHHHH..........how in holy fuck did we get to the point where an absolute bozo like Trump gets to run for President ?
I never thought I'd say this, but Mitt Romney looks like Abraham Freaking Lincoln next to Trump.

(28,017 posts)Trump campaign complains of "set up" job, by Lester Holt letting Trump spew lies without stopping him. How dare Holt allow him to look like an obnoxious ass? It was a conspiracy by Clinton and Holt!
The adverse reaction that he created was so odoriferous, so rank, and so nasty smelling, that the Trump team had to come out with an attack about the debate forum.

(3,056 posts)This should give her a good bump. Watching MSNBC, and both Republican commentators give it to Hillary, although Nicole is doing is begrudgingly. She doesn't think he hurt himself...I really think he did. He was awful...I can't imagine anyone who was undecided before this either deciding for him or staying undecided.

(5,067 posts)Does he think that makes him look tough instead of looking like an ass?
Beartracks
(12,816 posts)... they wanted to get both her and him framed in the same shot, which meant -- thru the magic of telephoto lenses -- he was often looming behind her in the frame. If he'd just sat down every time he wasn't talking, that wouldn't have happened. But I kinda think he was nervous and opted to pace in order to remain casual-looking. Often he ended up staying put after answering a question (using that phrase loosely, I know!), and then ended up in Hillary's personal space as she walked over to answer the question from pretty much the same spot.
I don't think he knows how to share a stage with someone.
On edit:
Just came across this tweet:
Trump is having a lot of trouble with the stage blocking. Rule of thumb is to sit while your opponent talks, not to loom. #debate
