So now with BillyBushGate (I can't believe those words are all in the same sentence), the warning has gone out to any and all employees of Mark Burnett and his production companies, reminding them that they've all signed non-disclosure forms and of the $5 million fine/penalty if confidentiality is broken.
This is from an employee's, Chris Nee, twitter page.

We already know what Trump has said about having employed black accountants. Apparently, the other unreleased hours of tape contain multiple uses of the N word. (I don't think that stands for "nice" either).
(I'll bet if this woman got a GoFundMe page she would have that $5 mil in a few hours)
I'm not saying this isn't fun, but now it's becoming like a "Saw" movie or watching a bug squirm under a magnifying glass in the sun.
Sean Hannity on Friday night was using this latest fiasco as an opportunity to shoehorn in any and every allegation ever made against Bill Clinton - so I'm not at all surprised Trump is following his lead. Let's hope it backfires badly, and that Hillary is ready for it. I'm not sure even in her debate prep did she ever expect it to sink so low.
As important as a Presidential debate should be to "younger" and growing, informed minds, it's pretty sad tonight's debate should be labelled NSFW.
So, no surprise, Trump is going there. He is holding a press availability with women who have accused Bill Clinton of various things in his past.
Jebus,this is one nasty f*ck e d up campaign , the rest of the world is just shaking there heads in disbelief
Always good to know as long as Isis are chopping off heads, sexual assault are ok in Trumps book
If I typed what I'm thinking about Donald Trump right now, I'd be in big trouble.
Hey Don-holed, Does Obamacare cover snorting and sniffing?
God, I respect this woman so much; trying to maintain mature points-of-view opposite a namby-pamby 5 year old.."what about her time?" "you didn't ask her that?" ...the world is laughing at else.
A fly landed on Hillary Clintion's nose during the debate AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH.
#POTUS
I don't even know what I just watched.
Horrible and excruciating. A masterclass in restraint from Hillary.
I want to punch him in the face. #ImWithDeNiro
While Trump was not as much of a train wreck as in the first debate, there was only one presidential person on the stage tonight. His non-verbals were a mess, and he was constantly sniffling again. Don't know how much this will move the needle, and it will be impossible to separate debate bump from Trump's hot mic.
I thought he was far worse this time, he answered no questions, looked like he was gonna throw a tantrum at the moderators, admitting to using loop holes in law to avoid paying tax and only seemed interested in mud slinging, much of it that was hugely inaccurate.
The immediate scientific polls show another win for Clinton. YouGov had her by 47-42, and CNN had her by 57-34. Trump is also getting decimated by fact checkers.
He once again demonstrated the demeanor and intelligence of a 6th grader. And that's probably an insult to most 6th graders.
No one understands the U.S. tax code better than Trump and no one respects women more than he does...yeah, right. Generalissimo Trump has spoken. It's going to be great, just you wait and see. He will #MAGA.
The good news is he probably thinks he nailed it last night, and it will keep him from quitting any time soon. Was that another bad mic? Or more coke?
Last night, the entire weekend in fact, was certainly a low-point in American politics. With nowhere else to go, Trump dragged the campaign into the gutter.
The fact some of the pundits on PBS immediately following the debate were speaking of his performance in positive terms speaks wonders to how low he has set the bar for himself that he has convinced some that whatever it is we saw last night is anywhere near what we should expect from a presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton put it best when she said that she has disagreed with other Republican candidates in the past, but it's not a matter of simply disagreeing with Trump's policies, it's the fact that he is so unbelievably incapable of being president.
There's going to have to be something with that pacing behind her while she was talking, with that ridiculous scowl on his face, that was funny. I was hoping more than once that she would turn around give him an awkward look and then resume speaking.
The first reputable national poll that includes some time after the hot mic fiasco is in, and it is terrific news for Clinton. Rasmussen has her +7% in polling from 10/5-10/9. Since Rasmussen leans right in their methodology, the folks at 538 adjust that to +9%. Will be interesting to see if this is a trend or an outlier.
I changed the thread title due to the prevailing mood among Republicans.
Fashion police: at the debate, Melania was wearing a Gucci Pussy-Bow blouse. Not kidding.
