I don't know, but my hope for the debate is that Trump would say something to motivate women voters, and she definitely got that out of him with the Alicia Machado stuff. And as usual, rather than letting it die with a facile apology, he's doubled down.

Hillary's actually out-performing Obama in the polls among white people. If she can get anywhere near similar turnout among POC (definitely an if) and/or women, it won't be close.

I'm just surprised we aren't seeing more comparisons between coke-head Trump behavior and stoner Johnson behavior. Is it only people who lived through the 80s who can easily spot this stuff?

Instead we scold Dean for asking a rather obvious question. And Trump just denies he was sniffling and/or asserts it was a mic.

I think it's actually kind of humiliating for him get into a rage like last night without the excuse of coke.

I am simply amazed that we are at a point in our collective history where the possible President of the United States is fucking rage-tweeting in the middle of the night about a sex tape of a woman who he already humiliated when she was 18 years old.

Can you imagine what the press would have done to any other candidate, any other year for behavior even remotely like this? Howard Dean's candidacy ended when he yelled, "Rowr!" Donald Trump is fucking 70 years old and a multi-millionaire who has spent the last week talking about how Rosie O'Donnell deserved to be insulted in a Presidential debate and complaining about a beauty pageant winner who he thinks is being mean to him.

Where are we? What is this place? What the actual fuck?

An alleged sex tape.

Is there anyone left who is not on a political payroll who will defend the Republican party? It's not just a clown car. It's a broken down clown car.

He passed very recently, I would guess within the last month or so.

I understand all Republican elected officials have been asked to report to Dick Cheney's bunker for the duration. THERE WILL BE NO MORE PRESS INTERVIEWS.

The world is upside down. The center cannot hold. But we can still get down with a little blaxploitation soundtrack flute funk. What? Yup. Today's Daily Dose is "Lay It On Your Head" by Don Julian from the Savage! movie soundtrack. I like that the entire Wikipedia entry for the movie is:

"Savage! is a 1973 American blaxploitation film directed by Cirio H. Santiago. The film deals with a strapping young black mercenary blowing things up in the jungle.

The soundtrack is by Don Julian."

So it's not about saving his kids $1,000,000,000 by geting rid of the estate tax?

I am increasingly convinced he has a negative net worth, and it's all about the float.
