    Are you upset that someone gets called out for making misogynistic comments?

    My tax guy always tells me not to deduct more than 40% of your expenses as business expenses. There have been one or two years where I could have legitimately deducted over 60% of my expenses as business expenses (one when I started, one when I did a full-scale web/marketing thing), but then you're probably going to get audited, and that's the last thing I want to deal with due to the time it takes (actually, in many instances when you're audited, as long as you provide them all the paperwork, it's relatively painless). So, I didn't deduct many items which I could have.

    He also said the worst he's dealt with are... and I know it's probably a cliche- but physicians and lawyers.

    Physicians will try to deduct their home office- but you can only deduct from the place that is your principal place of business- so unless he's performing medical procedures at home, can't do it. This one lawyer literally documented that over 90% of his expenses were business-related. Again, this is not coming from me- these are stories from my tax accountant. The guy tried to use underwear receipts as a business expense.

    Trump should just shut up and start preparing for the second debate.

    He screwed this one up by not preparing.

    It's gotten worse for Trump. It was never good for him, but the debate has gotten worse.

    He could do that, but he'll just jump on Twitter and whine.

    He just doesn't know enough. In a room full of 9 other Republican dingdongs he looks semi-competent.

    Next to someone as smart as Hillary he looks like he's lost.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to say sexist. Just personally don't care for the b-word. To each his (or her) own.

    Charges? This is a tradition that dates back to the 70's - the 1970's. Like I said, there is nothing more to learn about Trump from his tax return than to learn about Clinton through her Goldman Sachs speech transcripts.

    Trump isn't an idiot but he's not qualified for the position he's applying for. It's just silly listening to him. It'd be like me describing open heart surgery.

    Clinton looks and sounds very presidential.

    Trump didn't score a great soundbite, which is what he desperately needed.
