If lying and cheating can make you President, Trump is in.

I thought this might fit here.

And while his comeback about the missing emails wowed his supporters, it was a pretty transparent evasion. It hated watching American politics at its lowest ebb in my lifetime. Heck, I'd rather watch Dan Quayle in a debate.
Of course how she could go about producing missing e-mails sort of defies logic.

I like Alexandra Petri's work, and her sense of humor. Here is her post-debate column.

Thanks, that was hilarious especially since I did not watch the debate.
