#pnut4prez: Debate Fallout And A Possible Government Shutdown

Debate Fallout: With insiders and the stock market both indicating that Hillary won the debate, Trump spent Tuesday blaming everything but his lack of preparation. Trump first blamed a defective microphone, then blamed Lester Holt for being an unfair commentator despite praising him the day before. Trump also found himself in another diversion, fighting Alicia Macado, a former Miss America contestant whom Trump shamed for gaining weight and later accused of seeking revenge. Not one to apologize, Trump just doubled down on his comments saying that her weight was a “real problem.” 

Government Shutdown: The Senate voted 55-45 against a bill to keep the government open past Friday, with Ted Cruz and 12 other Republicans voting with the Democrats to block the bill. The last thing either party wants in the middle of an election is the government to shutdown but Democrats feel like they have the upper hand and want to push for funding to fix the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
