Trump is sniffing a lot.

[Darth Penguin]

Trump: "If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your (email) situation... you ought to be ashamed of yourself."
Clinton: "Everything he just said is absolutely false and I am not surprised."
She says: "It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country
"Because you'd be in jail," Trump responds.
Audience erupts in cheers and is reproached by the moderators for breaking the rules.

Claim: Donald Trump claims Hillary Clinton “acid washed” 33,000 personal emails to delete them, something he said was an "expensive process".

Reality Check verdict: The FBI said Clinton’s team used a free software programme called BleachBit, No chemicals were used. When he first made this claim, Trump's campaign said that he did not literally mean "acid washed", adding that it was a play on words and reference to a joke made by Clinton about "wiping" her email server with a cloth. BleachBit debunked Trump’s claim on its website
saying the software is not "very expensive," adding that it is completely free of charge.

Trump said Canadian health care is so slow it's "catastrophic".

Moderator Cooper presses Trump about his early hours Twitter rant against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, saying is that the discipline of a president?
Trump again deflects and begins talking about Clinton and Benghazi.
When pressed about his tweet referencing a sex tape, Trump said that was not all what he said. But his tweet in fact directed supporters to do just that.
"Tweeting happens to be a modern-day form of communication,” he says.
"I'm not unproud of it," he says.

Can some-one translate Unproud for Trump-speak please?

Darth wonders why Gov Palin and her family rely on it then...

OMG Trump's last words about Hillary Clinton:

She's a fighter, she doesn't quit, and she doesn't give up.

Claim: Donald Trump attacks Hillary Clinton over her record on defending women's rights
Reality Check verdict: It would be a stretch to say Clinton was laughing at the victim. Trump was referring to a case from the mid-1980s, when she was working as a lawyer, She defended a factory worker accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. In unpublished audio recordings of an interview she had with an Arkansas reporter, she is heard laughing four times while discussing the trial. In one instance she says: “Of course he [the defendant] claimed he didn’t [rape her]…He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs”. Clinton and the reporter are then heard laughing. The accused ultimately admitted a reduced charge and the victim has since said Clinton put “me through hell”.

PBS just referred to Trump's "Mafioso-type stalking" of Clinton on stage.

What on Midgard does he expect?? Hellary to suddenly gasp out loud and stop campaigning? Or has Mr Trump come to the conclusion he has to go head to head this time because Secretary Clinton isn't going to fold like every one else?

Last question was say one nice thing about the other. Trump was supposed to go first, but he was stumped, so Clinton complimented his children...and afterwards he practically endorsed her.

I find her so much easier to follow. Trump spews word salad.

Melania wore a "pussy-bow" Gucci blouse and press is referring to it as "p***y-bow".

Um, this is a thing?

The more this campaign goes on, the more sorry I feel for Ivanka Trump. Her relationship with her father is being torn apart simply because he feels the need to make sexual innuendos about women and Ivanka is one of those he keeps mentioning in a sexuaulised manner..

Admittedly, she supports her father and has spoken out about how other women shouldn't do this or that. And her brother Eric thinks that she's a strong woman who wouldn't be harassed because their father has lawyers ....sorry she wouldn't allow it . And Ivanka wouldn't lose her job if she complained. Not that she needs a job outside of the Trump company.
