I believe there’s a non-zero chance that Donald Trump—who is live-tweeting the debate while surrounded by advisors—will fire Mort Pence, who was foisted on him by party insiders, via Twitter during tonight’s debate. Read more
This sort of thing is tiresome. Sometimes I think our more annoying readers actually think a) that everyone at the site works 24 hours, seven days a week and b) that writing articles is done by just concentrating for a couple of minutes and having the whole thing pop onto the site at once.

Trump is talking about his 10-year-old son Barron maybe being a computer hacker by way of talking about the cyber and the cyber policy. What a weirdly earnest answer. He seems very concerned about it. Read more
