    "Planting seeds in a garden we may never see" was by far my favorite line of the entire debate. I thought the speech overall was slightly overshadowed by Obama, but man...that line.

    I was hoping for more "By My Hammer!".

    But I guess just using it works.

    Still...

    Trump recalled telling a friend this week that he wanted to retaliate against the people who slammed him at the convention, mentioning current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by name.

    "I was going to say that de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of the city, but I didn't say it," Trump said to laughs. "He's a terrible mayor. I was going to say that, but now I won't say it."

    Trump said his friend, who he labeled a "very great governor," urged him to stay focused on attacking Clinton, not other Democrats.

    "He said, 'Don't hit there. Don't hit down. You have one person to beat. It's Hillary Rodham Clinton,'" Trump recalled, adding that he initially objected to the advice. "I said, 'But I really want to. I don't like what they're saying because a lot of it is lies. Not all of it but a lot of it is.' I said, 'I just really ... it makes me feel good.' "

    Ultimately, he said, he conceded and decided not to launch into verbal assaults against the Democrats.

    "But every once in a while I still wake up, I say 'boy, I wanna,'" Trump said, growling as he stopped himself from saying more. "Someday!"

    The convention started pretty rocky, but I think you're going to see the last two nights show up in polls next week. Hillary already started to take back some leads in early polling after Obama's speech, I think she solidified and moved her position forward tonight.

    And debate season is coming up, that's where she's really going to take him to task. Presidential debates are not primary debates, they are controlled and there is decorum with moderators who are not afraid of Trump. She's going to rip him up pretty good in those debates and I think that will hold her poll numbers up all the way to November.

    As good of a President as I think Bill was, he's going to be a hilarious First Gentleman. He has no political agenda to push, he's already been president, he can just be Bill.

    The pundits on MSNBC still trying to dig for means of making this a horse race when I cannot even begin to imagine how the Dems are supposed to lose with this kind of stark juxtaposition.

    Thats a really weird and specific shibboleth.

    Also, is there any reason he's fixated on 550% ? I mean, I assume it's from somewhere, since if it was just complete fabrication, it'd be at least 1000%, but what's he misinterpreting to get to that figure?

    During a Sept. 20 appearance on CBS' Face the Nation, Clinton was asked if President Barack Obama's plan to increase the number allowed into the United States to 10,000 was enough. (The United States had accepted about 2,000 in 2015.)

    "Look, we’re facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II, and I think the United States has to do more, and I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in," Clinton said.

    E:
    Trump's just shotgunning out his usual crap now. "Hillary won't reform Wallstreet cause she's corrupt." "Hillary created ISIS." "Hillary wants a world with no borders or jobs." Etc etc

    Poor baby must've had his ego hurt.

    I got about 3 calls in before I thought "I should call and tell them what's what"

    Immediately turned it off before it could infect me more than it already has.
