With all the sniffling Trump did throughout the entire debate, Dr. Howard Dean raised a reasonable question.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?
— Howard Dean (@GovHowardDean) September 27, 2016
While I personally think it's not only doubtful (Trump doesn't even drink), I think it was a distraction from a stellar performance by Hillary. But other folks agreed with Dean.

Several times Trump whined about how "nasty" Hillary's ads have been. Not only does this prove that Irony is dead in the Trump camp, but that Trump doesn't even remember what he's said.
Trump: "I notice the nasty commercials you do on me." Her commercials are literally just clips of him speaking. #debate

One thing that was very striking and indicative of Trump's incredible misogyny and bullying is how often he interrupted both Hillary and Moderator Lester Holt

Time magazine actually did a more accurate analysis based on the actual transcript of the debate – and it shows Trump interrupted them FIFTY-FIVE TIMES!

But whatever the count, if you had "Interruptions" as part of your evening's Drinking Game, well …
If your "Debate Drinking Game" involves Trump interrupting, go to the ER immediately

Hillary brought up Trump's stiffing not only the working middle class people – to which Betty F*ckin' White [Sorry – no "Blue Star" – so not THAT Betty White, but still funny] offers a great suggestion:
If you stay in a Trump hotel, refuse to pay. Say that you weren't satisfied. He said that's cool. #debatenight
— Betty F*ckin' White (@BettyFckinWhite) September 27, 2016
But also stiffing all American patriotic citizens by not paying his taxes – which Trump brags "It makes me smart"
I don't pay my taxes because I'm not smart. I pay my taxes because that's how this country works and it's my responsibility. You FUCK

And of course Trump tried to counter with the mendacious claim that Hillary lacks "stamina"
she was a working mom & a primary caregiver to her child & still managed a law career AND a life of public service STFU ABOUT STAMINA DONALD
— zoe kazan (@zoeinthecities) September 27, 2016
And of course …
We all agree "stamina" is a euphemism for a penis, right?

At first I was upset that Lester Holt didn't take charge as moderator. But then I thought, even though Lester is a registered republican – boy, letting Trump expose himself as a misogynistic, idiotic bully is great.
And Holt dealt with the abuse in his own way, unique way …

— Why Am I A Bears Fan (@FlowsAndolini) September 27, 2016
But Trump, despite praising a fellow republican after the debate now claims that Lester rigged them. So it's not surprising that Trump actually refused to shake the Moderator's hand post-debate – very sad …
Missed this: Trump snubbed moderator Holt after the debate.
A poor loser move. https://t.co/xXRgFrMJzw

And of course NBC's republican sycophant Chuck Todd had to find SOMETHING to complain about with Hillary – so he said she was "Over-Prepared"
.@chucktodd: #debatenight exposed Trump's lack of preparation, but Clinton seemed over-prepared at times.
— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) September 27, 2016
Ahhh, Chucky – she's running for PRESIDENT! Do you think Chucky would ever complain that his surgeon was "Over-Prepared"?
#Trump will probably put as much work into running our country as he put into preparing for this #debate.

And then the Reviews started rolling in.
Donald Trump answers questions like how I type essays when I can't think of shit but have 3 more pages to go
— B R O C K ® (@troytheblackguy) September 27, 2016
Hell, even the republicans realized Trump got trampled:
Christie complaining about Lester Holt. Giuliani tweeting it wasn't Trump's best night. Fox News glum. The verdict on this one is in.

The "Best Pithy Review Award" has got to go to Jerry Springer:
Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House. Donald Trump belongs on my show.

"Best Advice to Trump Supporters Award" goes to the Lawrence, KS (home of the U of Kansas) Police Dept.:

And thanks to Hillary's now famous "Shoulder Shimmy" …
It's now made even more enjoyable thanks to Shaq and a cat …

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Drumpf: Not shaking hands after the debate meant only one thing: A poor loser!
Hillary: Love that "shoulder shimmy", big smile and her "WOO! OKAY". lol.
Puddy tat & Shaq did excellent shimmies too. lol.
""Best Final Word of Advice Award" goes to Hillary:

I had seen a few of these, but certainly not all, and all are splendid. On the shimmy, I had seen a gif with Shaq, but not one with the cat (kind of unfair competition to the humans, but delightful. I hope I didn't step on any of this. Next timne I'll hold back.
You didn't "step on" anything.
So please do NOT "hold back"!
3 people that can never be over-prepared…..your doctor, your airline pilot, your President of the USA
Ain't THAT the truth?
AMEN brother!!!
😀 😀 😀
She won the debate, hands down, and he will never admit it. The tweets were great!
Can that kitty shimmee or what! And the tweets . . . they are awesome!
Of course there is a new firestorm — Drumpf tweeting and constructing more conspiracies about beauty pageant winner Alicia Machado. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-machado-twitter-1.3785537 At the end of the piece, good news! New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has launched an investigation into the charity status of The Trump Foundation, which is not registered in New York.
I sure hope that Drumpf experiences karma big time.
Excellent and most enjoyable recaption of the debate, Nameless. So good to see that even the likes of Drumpf can bring out the best in so many people of creativity and humor.
I found DT's excuses, interruptions, and interjections most annoying….He's so boorish.(which is normal for him, btw).
The tweets were FABulous, imho.
For the life of me, I can't remember (CRS), where I saw this, but I thought I'd throw this in here too. An individual wrote a great description of DT: "Superlyin'fragileRacistWhineyBragAdocious". How great is that?
Thank you, Nameless for post, and Joanne for cross posting.
This is completely out in left field, but your wonderful "Superlyin'fragileRacistWhineyBragAdocious" pushed a button. Last night I listened to a radio show on movie music called "The Score." The theme of this episode was movies based on children's literature. Of course "Mary Poppins" was one of them. The host mentioned "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" of course, then "Let's Go Fly a Kite" and "Chim-Chim-Cheree." I was thinking "Are you going to leave out 'Feed the Birds'? That song was the heart of the movie." But then he played from an interview he had done with the Sherman Brothers. Turns out every Friday afternoon from the movie till Walt's death the brothers went to Walt's office to wind down for the weekend – and the one of the two who played the piano, played "Feed the Birds" for Walt. Someyimes Walt would request it verbally, sometimes with a look, and sometimes he would just be standing looking out the window, but they knew what he wanted to hear. (They actually kept it up after his death until his successor moved into the office.)
