    - Especially that he's had 9 years to come up with one. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 19:58 1
      - That’s the difference between watching live and seeing a clip. The moderator setup, his response and her follow up needs to be seen together. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Sep 10, 20:05
Her mentioning he was fired by 81 million people is a knockout punch -- nm - Trending Sep 10, 19:30 6
