Did I Miss Something - Trump's People Are Saying Hillary Was Rattled & Thrown Off Her Game....

at the last debate. Also, Trump has been saying that Hillary ran out of steam in the second half of the last debate.

Now I didn't notice either of those things happening to Hillary - but I did see signs of that in Trump.

Are they just throwing up this crap because a good offense is a good defense?

Am I missing something?

Polls--the scientific type, not the internet click polls susceptible to multiple voting and bots--indicated Hillary Clinton clearly won both the first and second debates.

Trump supporters will begrudgingly admit that Trump lost the first debate, but insist he won the second debate because he suggested imprisoning Hillary Clinton if he's elected.

No one outside the Trump circle jerk agreed with that logic, though.

Or maybe they got into Trump's supply of "smelling salts".

6. Trump has accused Hillary of taking performance enhancing drugs in order to make it

through the debate. That's the basis of his call for drug testing. He's just trying to muddy the water and cause a sensation.

Donald Trump, deflecting from the recent deluge of sexual assault accusations plaguing his campaign, suggested Saturday that Hillary Clinton was taking performance-enhancing drugs at the last presidential debate.

Donald Trump challenges Hillary Clinton to pre-debate drug test
“She rested for the last debate,” Trump told a rowdy crowd in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “She didn’t do too well, and she said she’s practicing for the next debate. She called it debate prep. Right?”

Then he posited a theory about what he believed the Democratic nominee was actually doing to prepare for the next and final debate, subtly hinting at drug usage: ”I think she’s actually getting pumped up. You wanna know the truth. She’s getting pumped up. You understand.”

like he did in the first, which is a victory in the eyes of Trump and his supporters.

TBH I thought she was off at the BEGINNING of the last debate. Not off like dying or anything. But off like she couldn't fucking believe she was in a room with Bill's accusers and she couldn't believe how fucked this campaign is. I thought she was nervous. After he went after her and pointed them out, she rallied hard. I think it was just waiting for that shoe to drop. She finished his ass. And also, I think she was wiping up the floor with him EVEN WHEN SHE WAS ANXIOUS. So he can fuck right off.

Biggest whiny cry baby bitch ever.

She should bring a big box of tissues and hand them to him at the debate.

That they have possibly the worst candidate for president In the last century? That his odds of winning are so bad that bookies are already paying off their bets on the election? Yeah they got nothing else to talk about.

Someone finally said all the things to Hillary Clinton that gives them wet dreams. She took it well, but it pissed her off and so they saw any change in expression magnified to fit the narrative.

1) Numbed sense of smell;
2) Numbed sense of taste;
3) A foaming desire to despise everything about "libruls" who make faces at the heaping bowl in front of you and say stuff like "You know that's not chocolate, right?"

It's their kool-aid; removes capability of rational thought.

Trump hates losers so he can't accept he's losing in polls or debates (claims winning because unscientific RW web polls say so).

The only thing you are missing is intellectual discourse. You can go to JPR and listen to Trump supporter after Trump supporter talking about Clintons sexual orientation, Vince Foster, and their daydreams of pissing on and killing Clinton.

She really didn't have to do anything other than answer the questions thoughtfully. Trump couldn't even begin to handle that, so he made a fool of himself, as usual. Stalking was all he could think of at the time.
