Initially I had to wait to debrief on the debate, because unlike all other debates this time I needed to watch it twice, in some segments three times; and look at the expression, the emotion behind the words.
Some of the things Donald Trump mentioned last night flew under the radar. Like when Trump expressed his “disappointment in congress” to uphold some semblance of constitutional oversight against a weaponized executive branch.
I found myself thinking: wow, did he really say that…
Then it all began to make sense.  This is the unchained Trump.  This is the guy, now a candidate for president, expressing why he’s in the race; a position he never actually wanted to get into…. he’s often said he’d be quite happy if someone else were doing it, for the right reasons.  But they don’t… and so he is.
And his family knew it too:

This is the guy, who is genuinely PO’d at congress for letting the executive branch weaponize itself (it’s own cabinet member organizations) against its own citizenry.
This is the guy who said: “I just had to do it”…”I just had to”, letting all those reasons out for the voters to see.  Stunning, and genuinely authentic.  Trump means this stuff, if you watch him say it, you can tell.  Unlike most politicians, you can actually feel his emotion. (more…)

In the latest display of transparent media bias an exchange was captured where CNN is questioning a focus group on the key moments of the debate.
However, unfortunately for CNN, the producers quick cut from the debate video replay and catch the CNN focus group leader prompting a participating audience member on what to say.
The video speaks for itself.  It’s so obvious it’s almost uncomfortable:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The second debate is over. Now you get to weigh in.

Donald Trump campaign communications director Jason Miller tweets out a picture during the pre debate walk-through:

There is not a scintilla of doubt in my mind that CNN has a fully rehearsed game plan to ambush Donald Trump in an almost identical way as they did in the primary on February 19th, 2016 – SEE HERE –
The political ideologues who control the design of these heavily manufactured corporate operations have a vested interest in protecting the recipient of their investment, Hillary Clinton.  The questioners will not be random. The questions will not be random.
