Second Presidential Debate: Winners and Losers
WINNER: KENNETH BONE
The undecided voter eloquently, thoughtfully steered the nasty debate back to the issues (in this case energy policy).
LOSER: CLINTON ACCUSERS
Nobody looked happy as Trump, not long before the debate, assembled four women who had previously accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault and insisted that the former president’s actions were far worse than anything Trump himself said in a recently surfaced tape. (More on that in the next slide.)
LOSER: LOCKER ROOMS
Trump’s repeated insistence that his lewd and misogynist Access Hollywood hot mic moment was merely “locker room” talk was the worst thing to happen to that room since athlete’s foot.
LOSER: TRUMP TIES FOR MEN
The Republican candidate has his own fashion line for guys. So how come his electric red necktie was hanging lower than Billy Bush’s Q-rating among women 18-49?
WINNER: WESTWORLD
The fly that got loose in the debate hall was totally released by HBO’s marketing department as a cross-promotion for its freshman drama.
WINNER: HERB WELCH
Trump wielded his microphone as artfully (and as closely) as Bill Hader’s elderly newsman Saturday Night Live character.
LOSER: UNCLE SAM
Trump finally admitted he got out of paying federal income taxes for years after claiming a nearly $1 billion loss in 1995.
WINNER: MUD
The brown sludge received a 90-minute primetime showcase.
