The St. Louis Town Hall Twitter Round Up

By Frances Langum — October 10, 2016

I do not know how I would get through these debates without Twitter.

First up, it's not your imagination, the SNIFF is back!

Sniffing, talking about himself in the third person, and speaking as if Clinton has been a dictator for a quarter century. Profoundly weird.

And he couldn't stand still, either.

Creepy orange clowns sighted recently across the country. Some say they saw one pacing the debate stage tonight. #Muslimsreportstuff

I'm a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri. #debate

Why all the pacing? Why doesn't Trump just raise his hand and ask if he can go pee??

He promised to have his political opponent put in jail:

Trump said he would use the presidency to jail his political opponent. Nothing else in the debate mattered but that.

He also literally called her "The Devil." (Steve Bannon must have convinced him to "prep.")

I keep saying this...

Admitted he paid no federal income taxes:

Trump is such a nuclear reactor leak of a candidate that he bragged about not paying income taxes and everyone just kinda shrugged.

Openly disagreed with his running mate about Syria:

REMINDER: Trump literally disavowed his own running mate in favor of the journalist-murdering dictator of Russia.

— Jesse Berney (@jesseberney) October 10, 2016

Correction, he really threw Mike Pence under the bus:

And surrendered Aleppo and applauded...Iran?

For the record, @realDonaldTrump just called Aleppo a lost cause, and said we should let Assad keep doing what he's doing.

"In a totally erroneous comment, Trump said "Assad is killing ISIS, Russia is killing ISIS, Iran is killing ISIS" https://t.co/OYuhfmLvTq

And in a strong bid for Sanders voters oh I'm kidding of course, Trump wants more... Scalias!...on the Supreme Court!

In an ordinary election, saying you wanted to appoint judges like Antonin Scalia would be a big problem

— Michael Cohen (@speechboy71) October 10, 2016

There’s some positive news from the debate.

Scalia’s still as dead as Breitbart. So we got that going for us.

Oh, and he lied, and he lied, and he lied. He even lied about what he tweeted. Stuff he tweeted. No really.

And right after the debate the pundits said Both Sides Both Sides Both Sides!!!

pundits: if you think it was "bad night for American politics" say why. she did NOTHING to embarrass herself, party or her supporters.

— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) October 10, 2016

#debate Within 30 seconds of the end PBS, CNN and MSNBC pundits were repeating "stopped the bleeding" and "both sides".

And there's more...

I think this dude just flipped to "decided voter" pic.twitter.com/h6WRytOhEs

— Clay Skipper (@SkipperClay) October 10, 2016

Wow, @ChuckTodd just figured out that Trump was talking to his @breitbartNews base all night. See, this is why Chuck gets the big bucks.

This is my last political tweet until after the election.

It's too energy consuming.

Congratulations President Hillary Rodham Clinton
