I think Chris Wallace inadvertently saved Trump from what would have been his nastiest moment

in last night's debate.

Hillary started mentioning her father. Trump seemed to start saying "You already talked about that." It got lost in the cross-talk.

If Trump hadn't been interrupted he might have said something like "I think we're all tired of hearing about your dad. Enough already."

It would have been another case of Trump damaging himself just by being himself.

In fact, Wallace audibly laughed at the absurdity of one of Trump's statements.

I think more people heard him say that because he repeated it. He said it a second time immediately after the cross-talk stopped, so it didn't get much focus, but it was audible.

It really is disgusting that they have taken this amazing thing that the Clintons have done for the world and tried to turn it into a source of shame.
