Keep your mitts off of the women in the audience, Trump.
“This is who Donald Trump is.” What the country has to answer is that “this is not who we are.” “We will respect one another, work with one another….”
After Trump dodged a response on the tapes, Clinton isn’t having any of it, calling him unfit to serve. Donald is restless, shifting, frowning, rocking. She’s pressing the point, and he’s gonna blow.
Trump responds: “It’s just words.” You think it’s going be just his words, but no, says it’s her broken promises that is “just words.” And he’s sniffing again. Loudly. Raddatz cuts him off.
Still on the tape and how it’s dominating social media and the first question on Facebook is Trump says the campaign has changed him and when did that happen. Raddatz hits it hard. “Locker room talk. I’m not proud of it. I have great respect for people.” And he drops the Bill Clinton bomblet. Like we didn’t know that would happen.
Trump continues to describe what was said on those tapes as “locker room” talk. We know what team he plays for.
Sniff! Sniff! Trump refuses to directly respond to tape accusations. Continues with his low-energy filibuster, talking about how much he will do for SNIFF the SNIFF African Americans SNIFF.
After a long meandering not-response, moderators cut him off. “Sounds fair, sounds fair” he mopes, clearly furious. He’ll be complaining bitterly about the moderators in the spin room.
Now he’s attacking Hillary for attacking women. Brings up the four women he had his little stunt with earlier. He went there and it’s not going to go well for him.
THANK GOODNESS for these moderators.
Trump is relying on the audience to believe his denial now over what he said in 2005. Then he said he did things (grab women by the pussy). Now he says it was just talk. I know which I believe.
To this point, if Donald Trump had chosen to read a statement written for him by the Clinton campaign, he could not be doing worse. His inability to truly accept the import of what he said is like a bell that he just keeps ringing.
High road Hillary. “He gets to run the campaign he wants…. That’s his choice.” Quotes Michelle Obama, “when they go low, you go high.” Reiterates that this isn’t just about one video. Everyone at this point knows enough about him to make that judgement. Points out he didn’t apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Khan. Never apologized to Judge Curiel. Never apologized to the disable NYT reporter he mocked. Never apologized for the “racist lie” that Obama was not born in this country.
And now Trump says Hillary has to apologize for the birther thing because her campaign started it. Oh man, now he’s going to go after Michelle Obama?

The âÂÂIf youâÂÂre talking about Sid Blumenthal, youâÂÂre flailingâ rule is in effect.
That Blumthal line must have really tested well.
Now says she cheated in the primary. This is somehow has something to do with Michelle? And now emails. Man, he is all over the place. And he’s sniffing really loud. And says “if I win, I’m going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor” to get her. He’s losing it.
The Breitbart crowd is going to loooove this new Trump. To anyone else he looks like a lunatic.
Shit show. As Clinton points out.
Well, that’s not at all fascist … If I win, I’m going to lock you up.
Now vowing to investigate Clinton with special prosecutor. He’s lost it. He’s lost his mind.
She’s angry. She handles it. And he drops another one: she should “be in jail.”
New thread here.
