Choose your Twitter hashtag for the night. You can choose from #BadHombres, #NastyWoman, or #Bigly. These are contributions from Donald Trump during the third and last presidential debate from the 2016 election.
What’s the biggest takeaway from the last presidential debate for election 2016? Trump having high praise for Vladimir Putin and encouragement toward Bashar al-Assad, but doesn’t have faith in the American election system.
Trump had fewer sniffles and better poise than in his previous two debate performances, but he came off like he was impersonating Alec Baldwin impersonating him.
Spouting off falsehoods such as the State Department losing $6 billion dollars under Hillary’s watch, it’s obvious Trump went to the Breitbart school of debate coaching. How can Trump keep track of how much money the state department loses when he can’t keep track how much his daddy loaned him? He continues the claim it’s $1 million when it’s somewhere between $14-17 million.
About thirty minutes after saying he has the “greatest respect for women” Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton with “such a nasty woman.” He continued to deny accusations from women of his uninvited kissing and groping and claimed he didn’t know any of his accusers, despite there being plenty of tape to prove him wrong in some cases. He even said he didn’t apologize to his wife because he never did anything wrong, though earlier in the week Melania claimed Trump had apologized to her. Maybe her English isn’t so good and she thought she heard “sorry” when Donald actually said “I don’t dig fat chicks.”
Regarding his accusers, Trump claimed they were doing it for the fame of being groped by Donald Trump. Maybe that’s why Bob Dylan has remained silent on his Nobel. He’s waiting to be known for something greater, like being the beneficiary of a Trump grope.
Trump also bombed during the abortion segment when he talked about babies being ripped from their mother’s wombs on the last day before their birth. The segment started about Supreme Court appointments and Trump’s first comment on it, and in the debate, was to whine that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had insulted him. So his answer is he won’t appoint anyone who will hurt his feelings. Shit.
Hillary Clinton was there too and did a fine enough job. Did she put Trump away? Not as much as Trump probably put himself away. At one point moderator Chris Wallace told Clinton to stop talking so Trump could continue interrupting her. I thought she made her best point of the evening when she said “Trump would rather believe Vladimir Putin than 17 U.S. intelligence agencies.” Trump continued to claim the U.S. doesn’t know who is behind the recent hacks, which is like claiming eggs don’t come from chickens. “Eggs come from cows. I’ve seen the cows. They were the most marvelous cows and they’ll be yuge after I’m president. Then I milked the cows, but only the pretty ones and only after given expressed permission.”
When Clinton said Trump would be a puppet for Putin he replied, “uh uh…you’re the puppet.” I was waiting for “I know you are but what am I?”. He also repeated his constant one-word interruptions of “wrong” throughout the night.
To top all that off, he challenged people to prove he made quotes he denied ever making, which of course he has made. Such as when he denied saying Japan and South Korea should have nuclear weapons, which is something he has said.
The most talked about aspect of the debate analysts focused on afterward came near the end. Trump refused to say whether he will accept the results of the election. This is the first time we’ve ever had a major party candidate challenge the results before the actual election.
After the election I’m sure Trump will say it was manipulated by bad hombres and nasty woman but one word will perfectly describe the size of his defeat.
Bigly.

The question was rude & shouldn’t have been asked in the first place. There’s nothing wrong with Trump except that he’s not a politician & doesn’t come across as smooth as some people would like. There’s everything wrong with Hillary. If you gorge yourself on liberal media, you’ll never know the truth of her. That’s just the way it is, for now.

The biggest problem with Trumplestiltskin is that he’s Hildemort’s puppet; the primaries were a joke, so nobody expects fair, open, honest elections and when Trump pounds on THAT point, the Hillary crowd with the bought and paid for media lock have an excuse to trumpet the obvious ‘fairness’ and ‘integrity’ of voting systems which are anything but secure.
Theater operates on the suspension of disbelief; the audience must willingly participate in their own delusion. Animated characters get the same credibility as actual humans, the dog and pony show ‘debates’ are a prime example.

The primary elections were normal, but with more than usual candidates for the nomination. A primary is what it is, neither a joke or otherwise. Trump won. The way any candidate wins a primary. The others lost. Simple as that.
As far as your tangent about animation is concerned. I sort of agree with you, but not completely. There’s a lot of work that goes into creating animated features. It’s art & deserves to be recognized. Whether or not the voice actors should be lauded so much, is a question. However, the more famous the voice, the better an animated feature will do because the star will draw an audience.

I read a very witty FB post (unfortunately, I can’t remember the author’s name as I’m desperately trying to repress the last year of this political nightmare), that said: “In a year’s time, Trump will be trying to convince a reporter he never ran for President.”
