Electoral Dysfunction

Do you suffer from Electoral Dysfunction? Do you have trouble properly reacting to legitimate voting results? When participating in debates, does it take you longer than expected to really get going and become your true self? Are you finding it increasingly difficult to maintain your winning polling results? In the stress of the moment, are you unable to perform due to a loss of control, and do you then lash out at those who seem more prepared to get nasty? Well, a Dose of Reality might be just the thing you need. Call your doctor if you experience dry-mouth, a sudden decrease in the amount of oxygen you’re getting in through your nose, or if your time between Tweets exceeds four hours… While there was a lot of policy talk, just about all the headlines following the third debate are focused on Donald Trump’s refusal to say he’d accept the results of an election he has repeatedly argued is rigged. When pressed by moderator Chris Wallace, he explained: “I’ll keep you in suspense.” The suspense is killing U.S. (And it probably killed his chances to get to the Oval Office.)

+ The Morning After Pile: On Thursday, Trump changed his tune a bit: “I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result.”

+ Here’s my incisive and entertaining take on the third and final debate: Trump’s Towering Inferno.

+ From Digg: Just the good stuff from the final debate. (They mean good in the way Alanis Morissette means ironic.)

+ Trump called Clinton “a nasty woman” which was bad news for him, but pretty good news for Janet Jackson.
