1. The best exchange of the night that sums up Trump and his supporters

TRUMP: But look at what she says. Michelle Fields, who, by the way, is not a baby. OK? In her own worlds, exactly. "I was jolted backwards." Well, she's standing there. "Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm." Tightly. "And yanked me down." She wasn't yanked down. She was - like, she didn't even have any expression. If somebody in this audience gets whacked, or gets hurt, including me, you get hit a little bit. You go, ow. There's no emotion.

OK, wait a minute. "I almost fell to the ground." I almost fell to the ground; she didn't almost fall to the ground. He got in her way. And by the way, she was grabbing me! Am I supposed to press charges against her? Oh, my arm is hurting.

COOPER: You've suggested you might --

TRUMP: Excuse me, excuse me! I didn't suggest.

COOPER: Oh, yeah, you did.

TRUMP: I tweeted. No, no, I tweeted.

COOPER: A tweet is a suggestion.

TRUMP: Should I press charges?

COOPER: Are you going to?

TRUMP: Sure! I don't know. Maybe I should, right? Because you know what?

(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)

Trump talks into a loop that Anderson jumps on. Then claims he didn't do it. Then says he OK he did but it was a tweet! Then confirms he might do it anyways. He claims to be above it all, gets caught in the lie, lies about it, then reaffirms his lie and follows it up by making a firm decision to not decide. That sums up Trumps whole mentality. His audience cheers him because they apparently are brain dead.
