Hillary was like a champion matador, moving masterfully around the snorting, spewing bull

[grossproffit]

By the end, Hillary Clinton was like a champion matador, moving masterfully around the perpetually snorting, spewing, infuriated bull she had finally goaded into going off on the same senseless, paranoid, alt-right tears. Donald Trump stomped off on one bizarre, history-making rant after another, while Mrs. Clinton deftly stepped around his horns and stuck another banderilla between the shoulder blades.

Never before has an American candidate for president seemed to openly revel in the successes of a foreign terrorist organization against American troops and their allies, as Mr. Trump seemed to when he crowed that resistance in Mosul is “much tougher than we thought.” Never has one accused his opponent of stealing or losing “six billion dollars” from the State Department. Never has one accused his opponent of paying demonstrators “$1,500"to start riots at his rallies, or described the NATO alliance as a protection racket. (Mr. Trump simultaneously credited himself with making the Euro-patsies pay off.)

Mr. Trump sunk to new lows of infantile nonsense, unable to restrain himself from nonstop mugging and smirking, and shooting off his usual, schoolboy taunts and jibes. “You can’t,” Mr. Trump told us, when Mrs. Clinton said, “Let me translate this.” Other brilliant pieces of repartee included constant repetitions of “Wrong. Wrong. Wrong,” “Why don’t you give back the money?” “You know it, and I know it, and everybody knows it,” “We’ve heard this before, Hillary,” and the grand, misogynistic finale, “Such a nasty woman.”

Before it was all over, Fox’s Chris Wallace — who, incidentally, proved himself by far the best moderator of the debates but who, like all the rest, offered not a single question on climate change — was practically remonstrating with Mr. Trump to join his own daughter in pledging to accept the election results. Mr. Trump, to the end, would offer only another, thoroughly childish rejoinder: “I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense.”

4. boycott reality tv?

[Freddie]

2. I love how she kept a serious straight face

Through all his bloviating and managed to not smirk or laugh. Must have been tough!

[onlyadream]

6. Or eye roll.

Such restraint!

[Native]

13. I love it when she does the subtle, straight into the camera, dead pan face with enlarged eyes.

Like, "I can't be obvious, but can you believe this freaking blow hard?" She was really making the most of it last night. Full on Kate McKinnon...

3. Closing paragraph - because I know you could only post 4

He seemed to believe, right to the end, that Mrs. Clinton had spent the last 30 years as dictator of America, or perhaps the world, instead of being a single member of the Senate, and then a cabinet official. No doubt this reflects Mr. Trump’s own view of what the American presidency is. It is a belief as preadolescent as everything else about his candidacy. To reward this tired demagogue with a vote would be as absurd as electing Dennis the Menace to the highest office in the land.

7. I wish Hillary cleared this up for him

Because all his stupid followers are buying it. He thinks one person can change the laws. What a fool. He thinks if he gets in it would be smooth sailing.

9. Thanks for adding this. Ole!

[treestar]

17. +1

well put - he thinks he would be dictator, look at the way he phrases things - I will repeal Obamacare, like he can do that alone.

5. "infantile nonsense"

Sums him up perfectly. Well, that and bully.

People like him should be marginalized as much as possible. It's time to let the mature adults take over this country.

11. Bye!

14. Enjoy your time here while it lasts.

No one here is buying your right-wing propaganda against one of the strongest candidates the Democratic Party has ever had.

15. He lasted 3 minutes.

MIRTs are really on their toes this morning!

16. MIRT is great, isn't it?

I never cease to be impressed.

[roomtomove]

18. Trump again looked and acted like

the epsilon semi-moron that he is.

19. "Infantile" is the perfect word

that I was looking for. In fact this whole sentence summarizes the man's campaign -

Mr. Trump sunk to new lows of infantile nonsense, unable to restrain himself from nonstop mugging and smirking, and shooting off his usual, schoolboy taunts and jibes.

21. I think America owes her an apology for making her take Donald Trump seriously.

Late-night comedians who haven't done so already will simply be able to say his name and elicit tittering from audiences.

If his various assault/rape/fraud cases have legs, though, he may be consigned to the never-speak-of-him bin where Cosby lives.
