Swift post-debate stuff



NYmag: Andrew Sullivan liveblogged the debate

Vox: How Hillary Clinton lured Donald Trump’s sexism out into the open
And celebrated with a shimmy.
(Also, all the stuff about constantly double-guessing everything, wondering how it was perceived by others... So true I can't even.)

And the doublestandard is doing well:




Also you should go read Jenna Lowenstein (@just_jenna) and Emmy Bengtson (@EmmyA2).

THat "wahhh she smiles too much" comment really got my goat. I replied to him with the rampantly sexist "give us a smile, love" that I hear ridiculously frequently, but oh, Gods, women in general and Hillary in particular can't win with assholes like that. If she hadn't smiled he'd have claimed resting bitch face. That just makes my blood boil.

"As soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease fire, a release of dissidents, an opening of new opportunities in nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a Congressional committee, he can talk to be about stamina"

Dude. It was a SIGHT, I tell you. Grinned through most of it and facepalmed every time he opened his mouth...

I think you'll appreciate this Vox article on how Clinton(SMART woman) set a trap for Donald re:Alicia Merchado that he blundered into like a fool.

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/9/27/13079878/alicia-machado-trap

If Donald is umwilling to do the work of preparing for a debate, why in the world should I expect him to do the hard, tedious work that comes with the presidency?

And if he can't handle himself for 90 minutes in a debate, how I can expect him to represent the US and hold himself together at a peace summit or negotiations table?
