Like Why Trump Lost The DebatesOctober 24, 2016 at 6:43 PM The 2016 election has been defined by Hillary Clinton's performance in the three presidential debates. Snap polls indicated she defeated Donald Trump in each encounter. And since the first debate, Clinton's lead over Trump has expanded both in terms of estimates of the popular vote and share of the Electoral College. Clinton's decisive victory was due to her talent and preparation. Trump lost because of obvious defects.

Like It's Really Terrifying How Little Donald Trump Claims To SleepOctober 19, 2016 at 7:21 PM Earlier in this election cycle, Donald Trump bragged about not getting much sleep and falsely accused Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton of sleeping on the job. (A claim that was thoroughly debunked.)
Now as we enter into the third presidential debate, it bears repeating: Not sleeping is a terrifying habit for a president to have.
Trump has previously boasted about not needing much sleep and, indeed, science suggests there are some people who are naturally short sleepers. But it’s unlikely tha...Tags: News, Hillary Clinton, New York Times, University Of California Berkeley, Donald Trump, Hillary, Alec Baldwin, Huffington Post, Giphy, Trump, Democratic, Harvard Medical School, Donald J Trump, ALICIA, Timothy Egan, Sarah Digiulio 44 people like this.
