Debate thoughts

Actually 'thoughts' might be overstating facts.

( Couple of tweets under here )

Not that I'll be watching. Too nerve-wracking (and too late). Although a majority of all movies have it wrong. The person who has to save the world isn't a straight, white, cis 'average guy' (or a straight, white, cis expert [soldier] of some kind. It's a 68 year old calm and measured woman. And (despite what the bad guy may wish for) there will not be a final shoot-out or a showdown with lots of punching.

ETA2: Other people echoing my thoughts...

tonight, we are pretty much sending Hillary Clinton to drill into a giant asteroid & nuke it from the inside before it can destroy the earth

Debate thoughts cont.

Two more tweets - one depressing, one hopeful.

So, the man just has to stop lying, and the woman has to sell her entire presidency while making people laugh as she outshines her husband? pic.twitter.com/02EGeRyA3p

ETA:

Plouffe makes the same conclusions about what polls tell but puts a brighter spin on it. He's not wrong either:https://t.co/MSVCVvRNS4

Favourite part (italics mine):

PLUM LINE: Obama got overly frustrated with some of Romney’s rhetorical tricks. But this is Trump. She can’t get overly exasperated by him. That seems like a major challenge.

PLOUFFE: It will be a major challenge. But there’s also a challenge for Trump. He doesn’t have a lot of patience for detailed policy discussions. I agree his bar is low. But for him to be presidential, patient, polite, and seem interested — he has not gone through anything like this before. With all due respect to his primary opponents, they’re not Hillary Clinton.
