Earlier today, Chris Hayes said something about how to make people hate HRC:

I can't quote him perfectly, but he was right about something:

fRump voters hate her so much that they really believe that if someone would just tell america all the things "she did..." (which of course, she didn't) if they would just hear someone say it to her on TV, we'd all decide to hate her, too.

That's what fRump tried to do tonight: He threw more red meat to his supporters and said what they wanted to hear him say. He satisfied his followers. Period. He doesn't care about the undecideds: He already knows he's lost, and he doesn't care.

The fact that it makes no sense doesn't matter to him: He wants only one thing: To make sure that for the rest of his life, whenever he's in front of a live crowd, they'll cheer for him. The TV "news" stations will invite him on. The GOP will hire him to make speeches. He'll be included at a world-government level. But not responsible for anyone else but himself.

He thinks only like a prize fighter: The oneliners, the gimmicks, the jab and dance.

We all fail to catch onto him because we keep thinking in terms of a real election: He never wanted to be president: He only wanted to elevate himself to world status. If he can't rise to the same level of statesman, like Obama, then out of sour grapes, he'll degrade the job of POTUS.

This. Is. What. All. Bullies. Do.

But in spite of all that: She remained presidential. And no one was surprised, because we already know, that's who she is.
