Was it worth staying up for? Nelson scored a TD but is otherwise underperforming, so inconclusive.

She didn't really have a lot of good things to say.

I think it'd be hard to not come off as lying.

The Trumps and Clintons were not exactly enemies before the campaign. I get the bad blood of the campaign and each standing the way of the other's ultimate ambitions, but I think the animosity is to a large extent an act.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Trump didn't do much with Bill Clinton's women. Why go ugly if you aren't going to accomplish anything with it? Clinton didn't even engage with his barb and he never touched it again.

Like he's going to do with the emails and benghazi he's going to claim it never came up in the debate because of media bias.

Yeah sure, but seems awfully ineffectual. Particularly when it wasn't even a strategy Republicans were all that interested in.

Will be interesting to see how story progresses regarding grabbing pussy given that he's apologies for it were basically to trivialize it as a minor issue and a distraction. Basically the same response that got people up in arms.

On a positive for him, he did hit up a lot of standard conservative talking points.

We've reached Peak Roman Republic: win the election or be prosecuted.

That is a bit worrying.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Early Roman Empire had some good times. The first couple centuries were arguably the best of ancient rome.

Being sacked by Celts doesn't sound that great. Well ok maybe compared to this election it does.

Nearly everything between Augustus and Thrax was gravy, though. If only we took Donald's advice about making other countries pay us for protection...

I think you are mixing up the republic and the empire, but in any event the celts included forerunners of the French. Don't you want more french around?
