Celebrities react to the second presidential debate
If last week’s vice presidential debate left a little to be desired excitement-wise, the second presidential debate more than made up for it. And Hollywood was watching.
With the leaked “Access Hollywood” audio of Donald Trump using lewd and disparaging language in describing how he interacts with women fresh on viewers’ minds, the expectations for the night were high, and Trump and Hillary Clinton did not disappoint. Some viewers, though, took issue with the idea that the onstage audience was made-up of undecided voters.
"Tonight's voters haven't committed to a candidate." Did I just see Mike Pence in the crowd?

As the night went on, it was clear that the entertainment industry was -- for the most part -- siding with Clinton.

Doubling down on "locker room talk"?! Like all men do this?! Trumps words are an attack on women, this pathetic excuse is an attack on men.

Just note: Between Trump and the rowdy reality show audience, Hillary is the only one on that stage trying to keep this Presidential.

You don't have to oppose Trump in order to recognize that HRC is ready to be President. Smart, concise, specific, measured.

Trump admits to using loophole to not pay personal income taxes ... so, can we just circle back to that sexual assault denial again?

Leaders need discipline. They need to be calm, cooperative & collaborative. They need to be a uniter, not a divider. #debate
