Lester Holt has lost all control, he's sitting there being yelled at by Trump and talked over by Clinton.

Have you started the drinking games yet? I think a few rounds should improve matters nicely.
I've not touched a drop of booze for months now can't afford it on my current budget. Otherwise I'd already be smashed, the two drinking games I'm following both based off Trump would already have me at five drinks and eight drinks (I know people is worth a drink, every Trump answer contains I know people) did not have a Clinton based one.

Trump has said I'll release tax returns in exchange for your speeches and here's a gif of a husky stealing a ferret

Secretary Clinton going with the talking point about Trump being good at the tax system makes him a bad American... that's umm interesting.

Debate 102, move from your weak issue to your strong issue via a non-sequitur transition.

Also Trump just saw a report, sourcing things is for other people, I'm going to get an ice cream cone.

The weak issue was his taxes not the emails, the transition was from taxes to emails to banks.

Trump statement on race sounds better than Clinton's if you do a good editing job on every other sentence, but put the missing statement back in and it's the second coming of President Nixon and his law and order beatings.

My favorite was the part where he called for more stop and frisk. Holt said "uh, that was ruled unconstitutional." Trump: "You're wrong."

Secretary Clinton doublespeak of the evening. When she says Gun safety she means Gun control, she has twice now screwed up and said Gun Control once getting the entire word out, the second time catching herself.

Not gun control but gun safety behold the new focus group word.

Shit show continues.

Trump continues to insist the sky is purple damn it, everyone is getting murdered in here under Democrats, in fact the entire city was personally killed by Cory Booker.

I'm not watching, I'll just wait for the highlight reels. It sounds like there's nobody "winning", so... who's fucking up more?

Trump is spending more time telling the moderator that the facts are wrong, so I think him.

Trump, to date crowd reactions are 100% behind Clinton. She's got laughed lines prepped and it's working for the poor idiots in the crowd.

I say idiots because her joke delivery is garbage.

We're also learning that Trump's red herrings are not so subtle as the other experienced candidates for them to say what they want and the other to politely ignore. Clinton seems to be on the attack a lot more than Obama ever was.

She's still ignoring a great deal of material in favor of talking points to what she's expecting him to say.

14 minutes left let it end.

But at least we get their oil, right Donald?

Almost over, Trump wants to fight Iran.
Clinton agrees fighting Iran is bad, Trump says your lying.

It's almost over but breaking news Trump wants the Japanese Self Defense Force to drop the "self" part of JSDF because they sell us to many cars.

In his defense as a businessman, they do produce our best truck on continental US plants. So really. From THAT point of view....not that I agree with it.

I swear, half the time during this debate, it looks like the two are going seriously tear each other apart.

So, are the only two tools in Trump's diplomacy book "Receive paycheck" or "Bomb it"
