I just gotta ask...

Tonight is Trump's last chance to get something, anything, going in this election. He is going to be an unhinged orange buffoon. And I expect Hillary is going to keep a straight face through it all.

How does she do it?

She must have the patience of a saint. I would have long lost my temper with Trump and snapped on him. But then she is running and I am not, and that is probably a good thing.

And though I do think she's wanted to be president for a long time, I don't mean that prize. I think she believes to her bones that she can do the hard work necessary to make life better for people. She's been trying to do that for thirty years, with a lot of undersung success.

He is a Sith.
She is a Jedi.

One lashes out and rages.
The other is introspective and measured.

One is ruled by passions.
The other is guided by principle.

Darth Donnie is about to meet his end in 20 days...until then, expect him to be running around choking people and breaking everything in his path in a non-stop pout-rage display of inanity.
