"You decided to stay home, and that's OK," Trump says to Clinton for taking 4 days off the trail this week for debate prep

After the debate, the Clintons linger (unsurprisingly) to work a pseudo ropeline. Trump family left the stage fairly quickly after huddling.

they saw arguing among the
Trump family group as they left.

He was angry possibly about the microphone,making "a gesture " looked like it was aimed at the son in law.

"Trump skipped a post-debate victory party he was supposed to attend and went straight home. Trump said he enjoyed the debate but didn't seem too eager celebrate. Maybe he was sad, or was feeling low-energy, or lacked the stamina to greet his supporters.

He took the unprecedented step of skipping his scheduled after-party and going into the spin room afterward in person to whine about his "defective mic" yadayada, deny he'd said things everyone had heard just minutes before, and self-justify and try to undo the damage he'd done. The journalists I've seen reporting on it were gobsmacked.

Trump is STILL in the spin room making a bad night even worse.
