I think I was pretty close with my perceived assessment of the public's assessment.

Meanwhile, in alt-reality, Trump tweets that he won it in a landslide according to "all polls". What a sack of lying shit.

Remember, we can't trust Hillary. We can only trust a man who lies about everything.

We don't. And that's the problem. Clinton simply changes her mind on everything the moment it becomes politically expedient to hold different views.

And her husband's kind of a rapist. And she kind of knows. And she kind of doesn't care.

You know who else didn't care?

I don't necessarily agree with his victims, his victims are terrible... He is really a victim himself.

...

The whole group, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, it's just a really unattractive group. I'm not just talking about physical.

....

I don't know if that's a good thing in terms of what Starr has done or a terrible thing, I think it's a terrible thing, actually.

...

In terms of myself, I love him as a president...

Like I said, the two candidates are evenly matched.

No, they aren't. That is a false equivalence... a Moore-Coulter, if you would.

Hmm. Is JonA = Trump? They surely behave the same...

I couldn't say because they are not interested in the issue affecting the US but rather trying to entertain the public.
 
Seems odd to call this type of event a debate. It looks more like a slagging contest. More composed of ad homs than anything worthwhile or relevant to managing a Nation.

Huh. Free media attention won him the primaries, he's just calling 'sour grapes' because the same tactics aren't winning him the election....

All kidding aside, Trump's tweet that "SNL" needs to be canceled because the show did a "hit job" on him should concern every American. We have a rich tradition of comedy shows skewering our politicians. I can't recall any President or presidential nominee responding to a TV show mocking him or her by saying it's time to take that show off the airwaves.

Although I have performed stand-up in the Middle East, where leaders have shared a similar sentiment. In fact, Egypt's Jon Stewart, Bassem Youssef, was arrested for mocking the then leader of Egypt and his TV show was ultimately canceled. But is that really a model we want to emulate in the United States?

Couple all this with Trump's calls during this campaign to change the libel laws to make it easier for him to sue media outlets who unfairly criticize him, and this is no laughing matter.

Would a President Trump use the apparatus of the federal government -- such as the Federal Communications Commission -- to intimidate comedians and dissuade them from mocking him? Yes, I know we have a First Amendment, but alarmingly I bet there are Trump supporters who would go along with anything Trump asks for, even if it was flat out unconstitutional.
