I've got the best cards, I've got cards you wouldn't believe.

Okay, on Syria... I predict Clinton will say nothing about trump and trump will spend half his time talking about her.

... rofl... he STARTED with an attack on clinton.

He starts his answer: "So first of all she"

Russia is young nuclear and we are old?

nuclear is nuclear.

Trump: "She doesn't even know who the rebels are"

Trump, I really, really don't think you want to start a "doesn't even know" game against Hillary Clinton.

It's like watching Crabbe debate Hermione.

SO... he's saying we should beef up our nuclear weapons program?

Oh snap. "Let me ask you again."

Wait, what? He just said he hadn't spoken to his running mate??

Moderator: "Let me remember what your running mate said"

Wow, I can't believe that she is tossing him a life line like that.

Trump: He and I haven't spoken and I disagree.

Oh, ok. I guess drowning is cool then.

Whoa. Zoom on Hillary for a second.

Yep.

I was going to say exactly the same. The sniffing does seem to happen at certain times...

Well definitely not in the last 48 hours. But apparently not since before Tues.

Hey Donald. ANSWER THE QUESTION

After Trump's video was released Pence said that Trump was on his own for 48 hours.

But he said he knows more than the generals.

Moderator: I'm going to go to Secretary Clinton

The relief was palpable in her voice.

Yep.

That was the singly most insane moment of the campaign so far, right? Openly contradicting your running mate, and saying you haven't spoken to him?

Jesus. What the hell just happened?

I on twitter, an hour ago wrote:

Pretty sure he sniffs whenever he lies. #debate 

Note that he doesn't sniff when he's not speaking.

Finally! His ISIS plan!

Apparently he lives in an action adventure movie where we just send in the special forces guys and they kill all the leaders. Then they just give up I guess. Genius!

That's impossible, he lies at least 3 times more often than he sniffs.

Hmm, maybe he sniffs before he says a lie that he knows is a lie, and the times where he lies because he's a stupid man ignorant of almost all the issues being discussed there is no sniff.

"I will be the president for all of the deplorables and all of the irredeemables..."

It would work! As long as we didn't tell anyone.

Trump: I'm going to be the best for all the Inner City-Americans.

I honestly can't watch this mess for longer than a few minutes at a time before the nausea sets in. I hope Trump bombs so bad that even he wants to drop out.

He passed that line about 40 minutes ago but he isn't a quitter!

The other part is that you don't tell them the plans.

The commentary on the 538 live blog:

Honestly, could Pence be off the ticket within a week? Would anyone take that bet at 5-to-1 odds?
Within a week? What about by tomorrow? Yes, I’d take those odds.
Me too.

GODDAMMIT

There he goes lying about murder numbers. Down down down, best they've been in decades.

"Believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart"

Actual, honest, completely accurate, verbatim quote of Trump talking about Clinton.
