Mike Pence is an embarrassment. During his interview on CBS this morning, it appeared he saw a different debate than the rest of us. He has no shame.That must be why Trump picked him.
Ford has a message to Donald Trump: We're not going anywhere.
They're gonna wear out that Etch-a-Sketch.

Nate Silver sees the debate as mostly good news for HRC, kind of cautiously optimistic for potentially giving her a few points and also cautions:

Clinton won the Debate.
Trump won the election.
Or, as Michael Moore put it:
It's over. Trump, the egoist, the racist, the narcissist, the liar, "won." We all lost. His numbers will go up. She told the truth. So what.
Sounds like Mexico won:
Mexican peso gives clearest market signal that Donald Trump lost debate
As a political analyst, Michael Moore makes a fine movie producer. My recollection of his comments in 2012 and what I've seen this year consistently forecast doom and gloom for Democrats.
Righties think we libs all hang on Moore's every word. It's like the way TV ads targeting teens use ancient (more than a couple of years old) slang they think is still "hep".
Trump = Mr. Seething Machine.
Liked today's quote. Glad that Pols has stopped with the Limbaugh quotes. The things is you can't argue with people who will never change their minds. Kind of like posting political items on Facebook. You don't change anyone's position and piss off everyone in the process.
HRC is following up on a good debate very nicely today with a strong appearance at a N. Carolina community college. Telling personal stories about her hard working mom (her mom's back story is absolutely Dickensian) and dad, delivering appealing messages. The chalk on backboard voice and stiff manner are completely gone. She's coming off warm, comfortable in her own skin, funny, caring, very smart and very prepared. She was pushing voter registration, both if you haven't already and to check to make sure you aren't going to have a problem with your registration if you have.
Energized, supportive enthusiastic largely young crowd was cheering her on as she reminded them of how their governor and legislature have hurt the state with their anti-LGBT and other legislation, how they've pushed through measures to make it harder for minorities, seniors and young people like the millennials in the crowd to vote. Explained that that's why it's so important to vote and vote for a Dem state legislature as well as voting for her and for Dem congressional candidates.
Best I've ever seen her addressing a crowd and especially targeting student/voters. Seems like she's keeping Trump on defense the day after while building on her debate victory. And since there were several subjects hardly touched on in the first debate, she will have the opportunity to score more hits in the next ones.
She still has Trump's many remarks fawning all over Putin, among other things, to hit him with next time. He has hits left too but there's no question who's better prepared to get past them and move on in the desired direction instead of getting bogged down responding to every dig as thin skinned Trump does. And he's been so generous in providing plenty of video of himself saying things he now claims he never said.
Good time for her to start handling and presenting herself so well to the average voter who tunes in late. Bad time for Trump to start looking weak. And how nice for HRC that so many people are watching the debates because of Trump's celebrity so she can get more miles out of a good performance now than ever before in this election cycle.
Trump's been looking whiny and petulant all day. She's been looking like a winner. And she doesn't need to gain all that much. She just needs to go from too close to a few points in the right direction.
I think she's going to get it done.
Hey, it's Trump/Putin in 2016 !!
Pence might want to gt himself a loyal food taster if Putin wants to make that happen. One who doesn't mind dying a slow horrible death for the the Trump cause.
Between his whining sessions today would someone read this to Drumpf and remind him it's authored by two Republicans?
Why Obama Is Right on Clean Energy
Remember back a couple of years when members of our CO delegation were hell-bent on defunding the food assistance program in the re-authorization of the Farm Bill? Well, what do you know, the economy has improved, people found jobs and have ceased needing assistance. To the tune of 4.4 million people. #thanksobama
Keep in mind, the very same people willing to gut this food safety net for the least amongst us think this is a good idea.
Another rightie paper breaks over a hundred years of precedent….

During a story about Emmet Till, a young black who was murdered in the mid-fifties, a film maker said something that caught my ear. He said…."the truth is fundamental to justice..you cannot have justice without truth."
While obvious, it is still profound….
When will we re-insert this fundamental principle into our politics? We have certainly abandoned being truthful as a bottom line for acceptance of any leader, whether in public office or private industry. We seem to no longer seek a standard of "what is right and truthful?" and have moved to an acceptance of " "whatever we have to say to win".
Telling a lie no longer seems to carry much of a price….George Washington would be appalled….
