Laughed out fucking loud because you know this is how he thinks.
Young female veteran: "how will you stop the 20 vets who commit suicide a day?"
Trump: "Actually, it's 22."
note: it's actually 20 like she said

A woman vet told Trump that 20 vets commit suicide every day and asked what he would do about it and he opened with "its 22 a day, you know, actually, its terrible"

100% Trump thinks he can select who he wants to be Generals. He probably thinks he can bring back and appoint some of the people on that bullshit list he pulled out. This man literally knows nothing about public office other than bribing people to get what he wants.
I can't believe Reince just tweeted that. Trump was literally defending himself all the time too, and nobody is saying he "was on the defensive".
Also, if "she was on the defensive" is the thing they are going with, than Trump definitely didn't do himself any favors.
But the RNC knows that the media loves to analyze optics instead of substantive issues, because optics is a frivolous subject matter than can seem important, without actually debating policy.

So, CNN's take was "Eh, she should have a better answer on the emails." That's the coverage Hillary has gotten so far.

‏@HillaryClinton Hillary Clinton Retweeted Reince Priebus
Actually, that’s just what taking the office of President seriously looks like.
Reince Priebus @Reince
@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets.

Give me a 30 minute interview with Trump and I can guarantee you he would lose by over 10 points.
Not even close.
These "reporters" are fucking jokes.

WOW, this is basically the public office version of "you'd be a lot prettier if you smiled", which is classic sexism that even an piece of shit like him should be smart enough to recognize and avoid.

I think there's going to be a lot more apathy in the military vote then people are expecting. I don't think the die hard conservative folks are going to cross the aisle, but I bet a lot of them will refuse to vote for Trump
To be fair that's going to be the entire campaign biopsy when this is all over.
i thought i remember reading somewhere that the lower the rank, the more likely they are to vote for Trump. Officers and stuff didn't trust him

Which, I mean, generalization here, actually makes sense. If you're talking lower ranks, they're probably not college educated and probably Trump's natural base anyway. So, not totally surprising, I guess?

It's a good thing when Hilary doesn't get coverage and theTrump coverage is negative

It's still not negative enough, and it's also trash when you don't hear a peep of praise for someone who looked infinitely more qualified to be talking about these issues.

Got to take what we can get at this point. People don't like Clinton and that's not changing before the election. The media has already baked that in

Former General Mark Hertling on CNN is at least dope as fuck.
did you learn a valuable lesson
I'm disappointed that Hillary's more thoughtful answers don't seem to be worthy covering.
But Trump's answers have been received pretty poorly. He's getting dragged. Which is awesome.
But still, the Clinton campaign has got to think of better ways to break through with a positive message. The media is enslaved to covering Trump, good or bad. They're not going to just gift her that coverage.

Trump will appoint the best Generals. Like General Ivanka Trump, General Eric Trump, and Admiral Donald J Trump Jr.

Oh, a blonde Trump surrogate just showed up on my screen. I don't want this.
Actually nothing Trump said was controversial tonight...after they spent an hour talking about all the crazy things Trump said.

Rince's 'smile' tweet was ridiculously sexist and I'm glad Clinton's team escalated it with the direct response. Rince done goofed-that specific comment is something almost every professional woman working in America has had to deal with.
I think it's fair to say that Sec. Clinton is intentionally quite a bit more stern/serious when talking about foreign policy/military and she's done that for at least the past 16 years, basically her whole political career post-1999.
Maybe she's wrong and she wouldn't be called "weak/soft/a push-over" if she acted differently, but I think she's correct in being afraid of that and erring on the side of being too stern.
I think in the actual debates, you'll see her be a bit more varied as other issues are discussed.
I think there's a decent amount of data for that from the 2008 Democratic Primaries. I recall the media saying that Clinton was more Presidential on foreign policy than Obama.

These surrogates are so bad. CNN is shameless for having them on everyday.
She's damn good.
