Been waiting months for Trump to say that to her face!
It seemed like Trump was going to practice restraint until the first two questions were about the hot mic comments, then the gloves quickly came off.

Just watching her reaction, that hit the target.
-
Yep. That was the moment Trump nailed his coffin shut. He can never come back from that.
Third world dictators put their opponents in jail. (And he couldn't do it even if he wanted to).
-
Loved it..classic Trump.

Yep.
It was also the classic two minutes of hate for his supporters.

You hated it under Obama...
...but you'll love it under Trump...

I became NEVER TRUMP when he accused Dr. Carson of being a pedophile that could not be cured. There was not one moment during the primaries that DT said anything that did not cause a deep visceral concern for America.
-
Like some third world dictator Trump threatens to jail any opposition. Putin must be so proud.

The whole 'pedophile who can't be cured' attack is going to take an interesting twist in the next few weeks.

Kellyanne Conway already walked back the jail remark; she said it was only a "quip."

he tweeted the same thing about Anthony Weiner, 100% cannot be cured....
talk about being hoisted on your own petard

Would that be literally or figuratively???

It's by or with not on. Trump was hoisted by his own petard. Which given the possible origin of the word is quite fitting:
A petard is, or rather was, as they have long since fallen out of use, a small engine of war used to blow breaches in gates or walls. They were originally metallic and bell-shaped but later cubical wooden boxes. Whatever the shape, the significant feature was that they were full of gunpowder - basically what we would now call a bomb.
The device was used by the military forces of all the major European fighting nations by the 16th century. In French and English - petar or petard, and in Spanish and Italian - petardo.
The dictionary maker John Florio defined them like this in 1598:
"Petardo - a squib or petard of gun powder vsed to burst vp gates or doores with."
The French have the word 'péter' - to fart, which it's hard to imagine is unrelated....

Trump is a pervert, he might enjoy it literally

I don't know why, but I always assumed it was a nautical term. :shrug:

This is exactly the same sort of nastiness I despised over at Free Republic when it was directed at Ted Cruz.

@DiogenesLamp
The difference is that Cruz never admitted to sexually abusing women. Trump did. He's a piece of filth who deserves whatever he gets.

@Charlespg
I think the fact that the Republican nominee has admitted to sexual battery is an issue worth discussing. You don't?
-
Actually the most pivotal moment during the debate I believe is when Trump apologized for talking about groping women and then stated that Clinton's husband not only actually groped several women but also raped! I saw the replay of that portion of the debate; Bill looked absolutely infuriated! I think it was a point well made. It absolutely does not excuse Trump's vulgarity nor his crudeness, but it certainly put things in the proper perspective as far as Hillary and Bill go.
-
Yes, it was the defining moment - it shows what he would do to all who oppose him, just like other dictators and fascist leaders do - think Hitler.

He'd be speaking in a higher register and possibly minus an eye if he tried it with me.

Why did Ben Carson support Trump after that? Ben never recovered.
Why did John McCain support Trump after the 'dumb to be taken prisoner' remark?

Cruz not only didn't admit it; he didn't do it.

@Emjay
That's right, I should have worded it differently. The whole mess was fabricated by Trump's buddy at the National Enquirer.
