9:32 PM: I’ll say it again. Whatever Trump said, The New York Times has acted in an amazingly sleazy fashion with this Trump off the record story.
9:34 PM: I’m curious in what sense it’s a bigger punishment for Mexico if the wall is higher. Like, they’re going to say, we could live with 35 feet but 50 feet we just couldn’t ever accept that?
9:42 PM: This is reminiscent of when Megyn Kelly asked Rove on election night 2012 whether it was “just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?”
9:46 PM: “You went to Manhattan.”
9:49 PM: This debate definitely has a different feel that the last GOP debate. There’s not more attacks on Trump. But more of them are landing. They have more cudgels to use him. I’m really not sure it’ll work. But it’s different. Note that he’s getting the crowd back on his side here by embracing war crimes. That’s the deeper theme that this election is about.
9:54 PM: Ted Cruz spent “most of his life in law enforcement”? Really.
