41) Really strong start to that answer -- "being asked to do things that were insane" I think that moving to call it "radical" is not a good call though--his winning move is to say "these trainings are just shitty, c'mon, everyone knows that" and sidestep larger questions.

42) I think Trump's taking the right approach here--ignore Wallace's note that crime increases were the same in R and D cities, and just point out the large D examples. The truth might in some sense be similar to that, but much worse to say.

43) Biden doing a pretty good job so far on this question, really tricky one but he's done a good job on it.

44) really curious what Biden's going to say about protests here

45) Biden handling this really well. I think Trump made a mistake by interrupting there: Wallce was trying to nail Biden down on whether to send in the national guard, and Trump got Biden off the hook by talking over them.

46) Biden really starting from a place of weakness in this debate -- he's way less commanding than Trump. Trump blowing that advantage by not being tactical. He's interrupting constantly, *even when he's shouting over things that would have been good for him*.

47) Wondering what people will think about Trump using the number of SC justices he nominated as a positive reflection on him. It doesn't make sense, but sounds good.

48) "No, I'm not asking, sir, that was a rhetorical question" I can't imagine Trump's doing himself favors there.

49) Biden really powerful there. Uncertain about Trump--is it a really effective retort, or really disgusting? I could see it being either, guess it really depends on what you think the truth is?

50) Wallace: "I'd like to talk about climate change" Biden: "So would I" Trump: [stares sternly]

52) Wonder what people think about the forest city speech here, kind of a cool interlude

53) Trump had a pretty good answer on climate change--point out things that are in fact much less helpful than normally claimed

54) "He doesn't know how to do that" it was a winner the first time, it's a winner the second time, it'll probably be a winner the third time. (On Trump not interrupting)

55) jeez Trump feels like a bully on the "green new deal"

57) good line about Trump voting by mail, really makes it more awkward for Trump to be strongly against it. If I were Trump I might actually fly down to Florida to vote, I think the publicity stunt would be worth it.

58) Don't think Biden's line about "it won't happen" is good -- Trump is about to weaponize it to display symmetry

59) WHAT THE FUCK did Trump just accuse HRC of attempting to do a coup? Yes. Yes he did.

60) I think Biden's taking the right approach here -- just playing nice on the election, it's what presents the contrast with Trump

63) twitter.com/SheriffReese/s yeah these things can't be good for Trump, he should really memorize a few things that are *true* to recite

Quote Tweet

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.
