I find it absolutely reprehensible that the first 40 minutes of this debate were almost exclusively finger pointing, blaming, shouting, whining, and complaining. The fact that these two were decided by the American people to represent their respective political parties is shameful. Presidential debates are supposed to be about addressing the issues and informing the audience. Instead what we saw was a Jerry Springer episode with a formal dress code. Pathetic.
The Commission on Presidential Debates has lost all credibility by allowing the discussion to degrade to this level. I'm tired of hearing about how terrible Trump/Clinton is. I want to know what they're going to do to address the problems our country faces.
If the Commission on Presidential Debates has an ounce of dignity left, they will invite Gary Johnson to the final debate next Sunday and redirect their focus from a catfight to a forum on issues that will impact each and every one of us for decades.
Nicole Wallace: the way Trump was stalking and lurking behind Clinton on the stage (not a good look)--'if that was me on the street, I'd quietly be dialing 911'.
Trump: prowling the stage like a strong tiger.
Hillary: sit leaning on her stool like a fat dumb panda.

Excellent post.
Of course, the two ruling parties ARE the "Commission on Presidential Debates." They rigged it so that NONE of the other candidates can participate in the debate.
I would like to see a separate debate with ALL of the candidates from the other parties. In fact, I'd be willing to pay to watch that one. That would be an interesting conversation to listen to, and probably more productive than the mud slinging tonight.
