An interesting suggestion for a Trump Hail Mary tonight, at the debate, from the NY Post:

Here is a key passage:

"...Here’s why humility must be central to his game plan.

First, it would be a surprise. Ready to rumble at the drop of an insult, Trump could benefit from a change of tone. ......some who remain undecided or say they will vote for a minor-party candidate, have been waiting for Trump to win them over by acting more consistently presidential, but are losing confidence that he can be anything other than a brawler and insult machine. Trump’s challenge is to earn a second look from them......He must show them that he understands their doubts and is ready for the awesome responsibility that comes with the Oval Office. He needs to win their confidence before he can win their votes....Call it a test of character or temperament or fitness. I call it heart, and Trump must finally reveal his...."

We'll see if he does (try) to take this advice.

This being exactly what everyone sane thought he'd do for the other two debates...

"Real" apprenticeships.

South Korea and Japan aren't in NATO, though...?

I turned over to American Horror Story. How is it going so far? Is Hilldog still owning his ass?

I'm pretty sure we're all watching American Horror Story right now.

Intelligence surge - music to my ears.


Might make it my stripper name.

Does Trump not know what the word "fallen" means?

We know what the job growth rate is, but what is the tremendous job growth rate?

[Crumpets]

Trump not accepting the results of an election is disastrous for him and will completely tank him with independent voters

Who knows, maybe there's a constituency who will vote for Trump after that to avoid conflict since they know Clinton will concede.
