2. Malik Obama is the one I cannot figure out.

Some kind of weird play on the Godfather "Bring the brother from Sicily" scene might make sense if Trump were debating Obama but for Hillary? She probably would not have even recognized him. And I can't wait for President Obama's take down of Trump on this. You know he is going to do it as only he can.

5. Trump has surrounded himself with morons.

This sort of stuff may work for a class president election in some rural high school somewhere but not in a presidential debate. It just shows how immature Trump, Conway, Bannon, and the rest of the brain trust really are. It's a second rate candidate getting advice from a third rate campaign staff.

3. That was only to steal the pre-debate news cycle

which it did... all day yesterday all anyone on cable news could talk about was the Bengaaaaazi mother or Obama's half brother (??? I could never figure out what Donald was trying to say with that one other than "birther" bullshit)

Of course, nobody cared. The post debate news cycle is all about how Donald disgraced himself last night

Another debate unforced error drowning out everything else that comes before.

BTW - I refuse to accept the "common wisdom" that, like the last debate, the first 35 minutes went to Trump. No - he just sucked less at the start than he did at the end. It was Sec. Clinton three out of three.

11. this was tRump getting back at Obama for telling him to quit whinning

tRump is such a thin-skinned, petulant child he thinks everybody else will react to a slight or insult the way he does, and I'm sure he thought that stunt would get under Obama's skin. I can't imagine the President gave it a second thought.

To be Trump's personal scorched Earth vendetta - taking out as many of his enemies as possible.
