i figured out how trump's mic was not working!

because his interruptions didn't get hillary to stop talking! she kept ignoring him!

but he's the great trumpmeister! he cannot be ignored! so the only answer is she couldn't hear him, because his mic wasn't working!

deductive genius i am! the best!


hello? is this thing on? hello?

by his interruptions. They must have really practiced with people barking and insulting and trying to get her off track. And it worked.

talking through someone's interruptions doesn't come naturally for the vast majority of people. that was probably more of the practice sessions than actual policy.

any of the repubs in the primary debates ever simply ignoring him and continuing with their points... And here a WOMAN was refusing to yield the floor to the dreaded master bully... he short-circuited...

he literally saw red from the moment she walked on stage -- brilliant color choice!

plus, calling him "donald" instead of mr. trump even after he repeatedly called her "secretary clinton" (not that he meant it as respect -- he was just trying to tie her to everything bad the obama or somehow even shrub did).

and hitting all his weak spots -- stiffing suppliers, paying no taxes, etc.

with enthusiasm, and then being the first to greet and shake Holt's hand, which Trump then had to copy... right from the start she was charmingly leading the lamb to slaughter

breath-taking nonetheless. Almost reached the sublime when she invoked Ms. Machado.

It is very difficult to get a mic to pick-up when you are talking out of your ass

in IT support, layer 8 is jargon for the chair-keyboard interface
i guess the debate analogy would be podium-microphone interface
