10:10 PM: Trump’s ignorance of basic military concepts is amazing.

10:09 PM: “I think it’s basically fallen.”

10:09 PM: “He and I haven’t spoken. But I disagree.”

10:06 PM: “We’re old. We’re tied and exhausted.”

10:01 PM: This is a very different debate. The first 15 or 20 minutes were terrible for Trump. Since then he’s done much better. It’s hard to evaluate Trump because his manner is so caustic. But just in the most basic sense he’s got in his key attacks against Hillary. So that’s different. He does seem more prepared than he was on round one. Not a high bar, but more prepared.

9:53 PM: Trump said he and Putin were friends and had great chats.

9:51 PM: Trump’s supporters in the audience sure seem pretty voluble.

9:46 PM: Lots of evidence that jihadis are rooting for a Trump presidency because they think he’ll be the best thing that ever happened to them.

9:44 PM: Seems like one former RNC Chair thinks it’s not going well.
