10:24 PM: How much time do Trump spend tonight doubling down on his lie about opposing the Iraq War?

10:21 PM: Is the idea that he talked to Hannity privately being opposed to the war. And we’re supposed to ask Hannity? Has this come up before? The magazine interview Trump is talking about was almost three years after the war started.

10:18 PM: Taking credit for NATO doing stuff on terrorism. “I’m sure I’m not going to get credit for it, it was largely because of what I was saying, and my criticism of NATO.”

10:14 PM: Back to saying we should have taken the oil!!!!! Oh please, please, please someone ask him about this!

10:08 PM: She gets in mentioning Trump inviting Putin to hack America more. She’s managing to get in many of these key dark moments for Trump.

10:07 PM: On tax returns, Clinton asks: What is he trying to hide?

10:05 PM: Why is Trump bragging that he settled with no admission of guilt? Also, he’s demanding credit for setting up a non-racist club in Florida?

10:03 PM: To understand how Donald Trump saw birtherism as a ticket to political power, watch this video.

10:01 PM: “I say nothing.” He cannot apologize. He cannot admit a mistake. “I think I did a great job and a great service in getting the President to give his birth certificate.”

10:00 PM: He’s deep in the fever swamp. “I figured you’d ask the question.” <<< what was that about? This Blumenthal thing has already been discredited.

9:59 PM: Oh lord. Sidney Blumenthal?

9:58 PM: “Abused and used” … “controlled these communities for a hundreds.”
