Old School. Biblically Independent.
By Kristy Puchko | Politics | October 10, 2016
Last night television resurrected American Gladiators in the form of the second presidential debate. With #TrumpTape still dominating the news feed and social media, Republican Babadook Donald Trump emerged from the pit of his latest scandal to face off against Democratic nominee Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton in a town hall meeting filled with "undecided voters," and moderated by Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz.
It got gruesome fast, and stayed there.
Last night, Courtney was our devoted (and justifiably buzzed) reporter on the scene. This morning, we offer you the rest of the best Twitter had to offer.
I'm choosing to believe that all of these people just blatantly lied about their undecided status to get into this debate.

"LOCKER ROOM TALK" is no excuse for misogyny & assault. The fact that you don't know this @realDonaldTrump makes you unfit to be President.
— zoe kazan (@zoeinthecities) October 10, 2016
When Trump says it's just "locker room talk," he's defending the very culture that normalizes sexual assaults on women.

You cannot keep us safe when you are the one making us unsafe.
So glad Clinton is laying out the case that he's not just shitty to women, he's shitty to EVERYONE.
