Tragic that 2 grown ass women think Trump's words are OK. These women need their heads checked out.

This is the first time I've read about this exchange: http://desidarling123.tumblr.com/post/151591241183/micdotcom-hillary-clinton-got-under-trumps-skin

 

Her facial expression in the second to last one probably sums up the whole debate.

Trump: Do you want to go back to mommy and daddy, or do you want to stay with Donald Trump? "Trump," boy in Wilkes-Barre says. (while holding child) 

 

So he is craving approval so much that he is getting it from children now?

Ratings down for second debate

Still big numbers but no where near the first one. Could be due to football game but also speculation many are on Trump fatigue.

GO Hillary!

 

[Soapsuds]

Could be....but many were thinking of more viewers because of the leaked video but many are probably sick of the Trump show. Football was actually down in the ratings but I am sure it had some factor in the lower debate ratings too.

Count me among the people having Trump fatigue. Now that the polls are solid, Ohio's back in the Hillary column and early voting has begun, I've decided to back off a bit and breathe. Everyone is in "pile on" mode now. They're kicking Trump just for the fun of it.

Very interesting article by Kurt Eichenwald talking about how one of his articles was twisted by Russian propandist media and eventually cited by Trump (he also cited the wrong source) to try to keep the Benghazi controversy alive. Eichenwald also explores motives for why Russia would want to put out misinformation and why Trump would be using falsified information from a Russian proganda media arm.

 

DEAR DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN, I AM NOT SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL

I keep wondering if any major media sources will say, "We aren't going to keep publishing Wikileaks material," but nope, they just keep going, day after day. If they were leaking info on Trump, I have a feeling these leaks would not get quite so much coverage...
