Third Doctor

She went in for the kill

She seemed to humor him the first two debates. She could have wrecked him the 2nd debate but I think she wanted him to stay in the race. Now that we are 3 weeks until election day and he is trapped and can't get out. If Trump had a different personality I would have some sympathy for him but from what I've seen he is nothing more than a selfish, racist, sexist pig.

He was demolished. It's why he sped for his car right after. He knew she demolished him.

Experienced, competent, knowledgeable, able to think on her feet and very aware of her opponent's weaknesses.. Like a goddamned president.

The kill was almost entirely self-inflicted.

She didn't cringe when talking about late term abortions, just told it like it is. Trump, on the other hand, invoked images of dismembered babies. What a total asshole. I've been wondering how many abortions he's paid for over the years.

hey, an individual right and freedom from government intrusion into personal decisions.

Fucking conservatives should be on board with that.

All Trump really did was confirm what everyone already knew which is he's too unstable and delusional to be president. Even Wallace couldn't throw him enough softballs to make himself appear even remotely fit for the job.

19. 3 debate strategy

Her team made their case over 3 debates where she soundly defeated her opponent. She exposed and attacked him, she showed she is much smarter than him and knows the issues much better, and finally last night she made her case to the voters. It was telling when Wallace asked them to make their final case, she was prepared and asked America for their vote, Trump was unprepared and had no real response. Preparation matters and she's been preparing her whole life for this, Donald isn't prepared for anything.

with common sense will clearly see that she commanded all 3 debates. Her answers are full of substance and her opponents was full of shit!
