Good thing this is a federal holiday, because I suspect it’s not just the hardcore political junkies who stayed up late screaming & twitching after last night’s debate. Even the ‘principled’ Repubs, such as they are, have stopped muttering about SCOTUS and started asking each other if one short-fingered would-be caudillo can actually destroy a whole political party — and that’s if he doesn’t get the chance to destroy the whole country.
Apart from waiting for the next shoe to drop (the Trump campaign is a veritable human centipede), what’s on the agenda as we start the week?
63 percent of debate-watchers said Trump did better than they expected and still lost to Clinton, 57-34, in CNN poll.

This is the first time I've seen a presidential candidate self-immolate. It's quite something

Trump has made life more miserable for swing state GOPers who want to bolt on him. His base is going to LOVE this performance tonight
