Tuesday Evening Open Thread: Make America I DID NOT SAY THAT
Make America I Did Not Say That
— Michael Neal (@slapclap) September 27, 2016
I’m beginning to think that’s not pancake makeup, it’s tinted spackle covering the dings in Trump’s very, very, very thin skin.
Apart from some well-earned gloating, what’s on the agenda for the evening?
TRUMP: If anything it's the opposite: I didn't call because of how PROUD I felt!
RYAN: OK.
TRUMP: Just wanted to be alone, in a ball, proud— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) September 27, 2016
TRUMP: After my morning interviews I went back to my hotel room. Just sat there, holding my knees, rocking.
RYAN:
TRUMP: With pride— Owen Ellickson (@onlxn) September 27, 2016

Many people are saying that Trump lost the debate. Big league, as they say.

Pre debate: he's going to be better!
During debate: she's kicking his ass.
After debate: will he even do the next two?— Nicholas Thompson (@nxthompson) September 27, 2016
CNN ORC poll: 62 percent say Clinton won debate. 100 million plus watched this debate. MOE 4 points. Now knock on doors and take Congress.

If you didn’t watch last night, rest assured: Hillary did a fine job, and Donald Trump… repeated all his Greatest Hits from the Rallies bits. He didn’t lose a single member of his devoted “base”, but he sniffled, lied, talked over the woman on the stage, claimed that America is a job-leaking hellhole which every filthy brown terrorist can’t wait to invade, lied some more, contradicted the African-American moderator (while lying), sniffled, called President Obama “your president”, took credit for “settling” the birtherism issue, and by every metric and “optic” looked like a coked-up, aging con artist in a bad suit rambling about “the nuclear” and “the cyber”. Vox has a full transcript up, and I’m guessing one of the other front-pagers will be able to post a video later this morning.
But this is the Big Fat Gaffe that will probably attract the most attention…
Clinton speculating why Trump won't release tax returns: maybe he's not as rich and/or charitable as he says, maybe hasn't paid fed taxes…

Clinton says Trump doesn't pay federal income tax. Trump responds: "That makes me smart."

Gasps in the debate press room when he cut in with that https://t.co/Vb6EJYkq2q

Did Trump just answer his charge that he didn't pay income taxes by saying "it would be squandered anyway?"

Dark of Night Open Thread: Trump Has the European Fascists’ Votes, Too
Rep. Steve “Pig Muck” King, he of the “calves like cantalopes” slur, is happy to share:
A remarkable tweet from U.S. Rep. @SteveKingIA, invoking European fascists to urge Americans to vote for Trump. pic.twitter.com/SvpU9AebMA
— Greg Shill (@greg_shill) September 26, 2016
And before his ‘spokesmen’ start making excuses, yes King does know who these people are:
@FraukePetry Wishing you successful vote. Cultural suicide by demographic transformation must end. @geertwilderspvv pic.twitter.com/Kp6uieaMDG

So tonight, after his man Trump got smoked…

Flash update, from a conservative HRC-hater who’s nevertheless #NeverTrump:
Anyone who reads my TL knows how critical I am of Clinton and her speaking. And I think she's beating Trump hands down here. #debatenight

Once again, she passes the Commander in Chief test, and he failed it miserably.#debatenight
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) September 27, 2016
"I would certainly not do first strike, but I can't take anything off the table."
He has no idea what he's saying.#debatenight
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) September 27, 2016
Trump just completely lost his mind.#debatenight
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) September 27, 2016
"Call Sean Hannity! He'll tell you! And I have a better temperament!"
Audience laughs.#debatenight
