After debate, Obama says Trump 'worries' him

Look what I get out of it. "Maybe they should get their own nuclear weapons".
But the problem for Trump is that a candidate who complains about the moderator, fairly or unfairly, can be portrayed as whiny.
But the one thing that most don't like about Trump in the first place is that he doesn't look and act the part of a president, and dodging hostile media and opponents will only enhance that perception among those who already believe it, as well as convince many who are now undecided. Before Monday's first of three presidential debates her RCP polling average lead was just 1.8 - and falling.
His words, or the aggressive resonance behind them, have the clarity of a bulldozer. I was all over the world. Suddenly geopolitics is something other than headache-producing hoo-hah.
Hearing those remarks, crowd chanted: "Build the wall". Take their oil. Ban the Muslims.
The gap in the presidential debate results went on to be the third highest looking back to any post-debate polls the CNN or Gallup dating all the way back to 1984.
Chelsea Clinton said Wednesday what Trump says is "totally his prerogative". That's why he gets away with lies and absurdities that would destroy a more timid, establishment-beholden candidate. What's she supposed to do, abandon her smart-lady persona and try to match the Trumpster in shoves and grunts? Obviously not, except where he's vulnerable, e.g., his history of sexism, his obsession with birtherism.

Manning also tossed a costly and avoidable pick late in the game that eliminated any chance of a NY comeback. Teams have done a great job eliminating the big plays and putting the safety over. "I can't get too excited".
The reason for this is not something trivial, e.g., her style, her presentation, her braininess. Even the most educated, accomplished and secure woman could recall a little of Machado's pain. Monday's 90-minute, one-on-one debate, however, was a format that did not work well for him. She's the candidate of the deep state, the secret state, the state whose business is none of our business. It was all created to make her look warm and wonderful.
Aisha Dew, a focus group member who ran Sanders' N.C. campaign, said she was heartened to hear Clinton talk about issues related to the recent protests in Charlotte, including community policing, gun control and better training for police officers.
Even Trump's false insistence that he opposed the invasion of Iraq from the start brought a sort of antiwar consciousness to the debate that otherwise would have been utterly absent. Naturally, the mainstream media have devoted endless time and energy to debunking Trump's assertion, while the hellish consequences of American policy in the Middle East are as absent from the public discussion as climate change is from Trump's consciousness.
Flanked by campaign signs promoting Clinton's college affordability proposal, Sanders and Clinton touted a plan they developed to make college debt-free for millions of students from middle-class and low-income families.
The New York businessman was on the defensive throughout the debate, particularly when Clinton highlighted his description of a former Miss Universe victor as "Miss Piggy" because she had gained weight. Almost 6-in-10 said she was a strong woman.... Just give me a chance. I also thought Trump scored against her in making the case that taxes and regulations are smothering the economy, jobs and businesses, though he should have been more relentless. "And you know, I do have this old-fashioned idea that if I'm asking for your vote, I should tell you what I want to do", she said. The unfairness was in the lack of comparable aggressiveness in the questioning of Clinton. But he disagreed with Trump's criticism that Japan and other US allies aren't contributing enough to their defense.
And here's the wound deep at the heart of the American democracy.
