They must have had the mango on some sort of sedative last night.

It’s surprising, but the debate seemed BORING.

I didn’t watch it, but I was following along here on DU and I was losing interest very quickly.

I mean, yeah, he acted like an asshole again. He lied, he whined, he interrupted, he used his usual tiresome talking points for 90th billion time, but all of that is just old hat for him. He was in rerun mode last night and it was just dull.

... being without stimulants is such a drastic change that it makes him seem sedated.

We've heard everything already, but I suppose it could have been useful for any viewers who have just come out from under a rock somewhere.

Trump's handlers must have read him the riot act. He thought that he had aced the first debate, whereas his behavior appalled even some of his followers and cost him votes. So what we got was "Trump light," which still doesn't taste great but may be less filling...

it for about 15 minutes on mute. Trump was quiet for sure but he was way nuttier than before.

I mostly had the sound off. Which reminds me, how did the muting work? Trump seemed to be interrupting a lot. Also, has anyone said how many minutes each talked? I’m sure someone must have added it up by now.
