My Highlights of the Debate

via http://ift.tt/2dgKcUy:
- Trump starting off trying to sound even-toned and presidential, but quickly devolving-THIS TWEET:

-Trump interjecting “WRONG” periodically as Hillary speaks-Trump interrupting himself even more than he interrupts Hillary-Lester Holt admonishing the audience for applauding-Lester Holt fact checking Trump-Lester Holt trying to keep things on topic but mostly getting talked over-Hillary not letting Trump speak over her-Trump only brought up her emails once and didn’t mention Benghazi. Amazing.-From WIRED’s liveblog: “Wow, Trump pivots away from Clinton’s emails and takes the bait to defend how much money he has—Clinton’s team must be cheering.”-Trump saying “semi-exactly”-The fact that so many people were fact checking this debate that factchecker.org went down-The debate center charged journalists $200 for wi-fi???-A news commentator at the end said Hillary was “almost TOO prepared” which what does that even mean???????-Trump giving the EXACT WRONG answer to the question about race relations (increase the police force? REALLY?)-Hillary’s mic drop moments-I mean, come on: “I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president and i think that’s a good thing” (thanks to WIRED for the direct quote)-Trump saying he isn’t braggadocious and everyone watching with me goes OMG THAT’S THE PERFECT WORD TO DESCRIBE HIM-Trump saying ISIS has been around for Hillary’s entire adult life-My sister saying "Wow I didn’t know Hillary was born in 2000 like I was”-Trump responding to the last question, which was “Will you support the outcome of the election no matter what the people choose?” with a paragraph about immigration.-Trump trying to save face from saying Hillary doesn’t have a presidential look by saying she doesn’t have stamina. -“When he spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, then he can talk to me about stamina.”-Hillary saying she has a fact checker on her website… Somehow, that doesn’t seem like the most unbiased source-Trump wants us to be better at cybering, apparently-Trump suggesting that MAYBE it was 400 pound neckbeards who hacked our government servers??-Hillary saying “I made a mistake,” which is a weird but refreshing thing to hear out of a politicians mouth and all of them should say that more instead of digging themselves into holes-Trump wants better infrastructure, schools, hospitals, but also doesn’t want taxes-More things that I can’t think of-Look, Hillary definitely has a lot of problems and some shady stuff in the past. But this isn’t even a competition. Trump should not and CAN NOT be president PLEASE-Feel free to add to this!
