Dems start them, and then back away when Republicans follow up.
In this case, the few Dems that ever believed it back away when it was found to be bullshit. Maybe Donald was conflating Hillary with some of her supporters. Hillary herself rejected the use of this stupidity in her campaign against Obama. It's very possible this shows she's smarter than Donald. Perhaps (unlike him) she saw this would turn around and bite her in the ass as it is for him and his only excuse is incorrectly saying she started it.
Inarticulate is one thing, visibly agitated is another. If he gets agitated in the debates; how his he going to be able to handle the fiendishly clever President Putin or Xi Jinping. I suspect the answer is that he won't. Putin will play him (and by extension America) for the fool he is. I don't know much about Xi Jinping, but suspect the same outcome. The Chinese are reaching for superpower status (perhaps already have it?), are nobody's fool; and aren't going to cave to the demands Donald claims he'll put on them - especially if he can't keep his cool. This was not only a presidential debate; it was also a test to see how well he'll handle himself on the world stage. He did okay for the first thirty minutes and then fell apart. So maybe he gets a D-. Funny how he brought up possible issues with Hillary's stamina when he couldn't keep his mental endurance for an hour and half. Maybe his handlers should give him Valium for the next two debates since he'll probably do better napping than talking.
