Post-debate verdict: Cynicism won last night. Neither candidate looked trustworthy with more power than commanding a toy fleet in a bathtub. Trump reminded me at times of a Washington Redskins safety missing easy open field tackles of a slow-moving opposing quarterback. Hillary’s powerlust peaked through at times in a way that chilled anyone who not yet gotten drunk to kill the pain.
What sort of subversive scheduled #NationalVoterRegistrationDay for the day after a #debates that boosted national cynicism by 42%?

#Debates2016 Cynicism was the big winner last night, clinched by moderator's idiotic invocation of "will of the voters" in final question

BS question about "accepting the will of the voters" – most voters do not want these two prez candidates #Debates2016

Biggest missed counterpunch of the night – @realDonaldTrump failed to exploit @HillaryClinton "There's something he's hiding" #debates
— James Bovard (@JimBovard) September 27, 2016
First #Debates2016 was like first Ali-Frazier fight through round 14 – except that it was boring and most of the punches missed

F.T. pundit frets if Trump wins, democracy is no longer "a model for civilised political life." Uh – torture scandal didn't do that already?

They spelled Hillary wrong…
