| Trump camp dismisses jail threat for Clinton as mere "quip" | |
| Donald Trump’s campaign manager is walking back the Republican candidate’s threat during presidential debate to throw Hillary Clinton in jail if he is elected, the AP reports: | |
| Kellyanne Conway said Monday that such a decision isn’t up to Trump. She said Trump’s threat “was a quip.” | |
| Trump made the threat in Sunday’s debate, after Clinton said it’s good that someone with Trump’s temperament isn’t president. Trump responded: “Because you’d be in jail.” | |
| Conway, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” also stopped short of confirming Trump’s vow to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Clinton’s email practices if he becomes president. | |
| Conway said Trump was “channeling the frustration of thousands of voters he hears every day.” | |
| Why does it seem so frequently to take so many people to explain what Trump means by what Trump says? | |

| The Cincinnati, Ohio, paper has a pretty great write-up of watching last night’s debate at home with the chairman of the state Republican party, who has not been particularly enjoying the election, and the chairman’s wife, who is no Democrat but won’t allow any Trump signs in their yard: | |
| Kate leans forward, her mouth tight, her eyes wide. “It’s locker room talk,” Trump insists. A hint of a wry smile forms. “No, I have not” acted in the way described, Trump says. Kate chuckles ruefully. | |
| One of Matt and Kate’s dogs vomits. | |
| “Trump was so bad, he made the dog throw up,” Kate calls, dashing for the paper towels. | |
| You can’t make this stuff up. | |

| The single most-repeated tidbit of electoral college trivia may be that no Republican has won the White House without winning Ohio, where Clinton has just passed Trump, sort of (it’s such a tight race), in the polling averages: | |

| Pro athletes: that's not locker room talk | |
| Nicole Puglise | |
| Current and former professional athletes have spoken out after Donald Trump defended his comments on using fame to grope women without their consent as “locker room” talk during Sunday’s presidential debate, reports the Guardian’s Nicole Puglise: | |
| “As an athlete, I’ve been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that’s not locker room talk,” Oakland Athletics pitcher Sean Doolittle wrote on Twitter. Many others echoed his sentiments. | |
| Clippers coach Doc Rivers, when asked by TMZ about Trump’s comments, quipped : “That’s a new locker room for me.” | |
| Please stop saying "locker room talk" | |
| Locker room? | |
| Just for reference. I work in a locker room (every day)... that is not locker room talk. Just so you know... | |

| Pence: 'absolutely false' he considered dropping out | |
| Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence has forcefully batted down speculation that he considered dropping from the Republican ticket after video emerged on Friday of Trump bragging about touching women without their consent. | |
| Pence, a family values Christian and a discriminatory sexual moralist, said at the weekend that he was “offended” by Trump’s remarks about grabbing “pussy”, that he did not “condone” the remarks and could not defend them – which last bit rang quite true. | |
| But Pence told CNN this morning that being tapped by Trump had been “the greatest honor of my life”. | |
| He also said he was nominated by his party, which is technically true: | |
| It’s absolutely false to suggest that at any point in time we considered dropping off this ticket. It’s the greatest honor of my life, to have been nominated by my party to be the next vice president of the United States of America. | |

| Update for the record: Pence remains horrified and disgusted by Bill Clinton: | |
