Aformer Miss Universe winner from Venezuela became an overnight sensation when Hillary Clinton mentioned her by name in an impassioned moment during the first presidential debate on Monday evening, calling out the GOP nominee for his bullying.
And it just got worse. Trump said the morning after the debate that he doesnt regret publicly criticizing Alicia Machados body.
She was the worst we ever had, he told Fox and Friends. She was a winner, and she gained a massive amount of weight, and we had a real problem. We had a real problem with her.
He called her Miss Piggy, Clinton announced at the end of the debate, referencing accusations made duringaninterview Machadogave toInside Edition earlier this year. Then he called her Miss Housekeeping because she was Latina, Clinton continued. After the debate, Clintons team posted a video to the Democratic presidential candidates official Twitter, offeringfurther information about Machado, now 39:
But who is Alicia Machado?Machado is more than just a beauty queen: She is a woman who claims to have suffered anorexia and bulimia for years after she saysTrump attacked her publicly forgaining 60 pounds following her pageant win in 1996 at age 19.
I was the first Miss Universe after Trump bought the pageant, Machado,saysin the video. He was overwhelming. I was very scared of him. Hed tell me You look ugly or You look fat. Sometimes hed play with me and say, Hello, Miss Piggy. Hello, Miss Housekeeping," Machado recalls. Although she gamely participated in many ad campaigns and earned the company a lot of money, she claims she was never compensated the 10 percent of the profits she was contractually obligated to receive forher promotional work.

Then came the weight gain. According to the video and Machados testimony, Trump producer of the Miss Universe pageant at the time not only threatened to take her crown away but also cruelly invited members of the mediato witness and document her workout routine. According to theNew York Times, Machado said, I told the president of Miss Universe, a very sweet woman, I said I need some time to recuperate, to rest, to exercise, to eat right. I asked them to bring me a doctor to help me to have a special diet and get exercise, and they said yes. They took me to New York, installed me in a hotel. The next day, they took me to the gym, and Im exposed to 90 media outlets. Donald Trump was there. I had no idea that would happen. Machado claims she was humiliated and felt like a lab rat, she recalls in the Twitter video. It had turned into a circus, the joke of Miss Fat Universe.
Trump, took outright verbaljabs at her too, shamingher for her weight gain and telling reporters, while on camera, So this is somebody that likes to eat. According to CNN, he added at the time, Some people when they have pressure eat too much. Like me. Like Alicia. Machado claims that his passive-aggressive, piercing words changed the course of her life and led to her life-threatening eating disorders. I wouldnt eat, and I would still see myself as fat, because a powerful man said so, she says in the video voice-over.

The New York Times cleared upany confusion about whether or not Trumps stunts were calculated and Machados title was at stake if she did not slim down. Mr. Trump said he had pushed her to lose weight. To that, I will plead guilty, he said, expressing no regret for his tactics, the publication states.

Two decades out from the incident, Machado seems much more confident, though what she says was prolonged public shaming left emotional scars. Over the past 20 years, Ive gone to a lot of psychologists to combat this, she says of the abuse, according to CNN. This is a man who doesnt realize the damage he causes, she says on video. He bears many grudges and harbors a deep racism, and he is convinced there are lesser human beings than him.
And after all these years, Machado has formed a strong alliance with her biggest public supporter Hillary Clinton. She has even actively campaigned for Clinton, according to CNN. Grateful for the candidates support, she tweeted at Clinton in Spanish after Mondays debate: Thank you, Mrs. Hillary Clinton your respect for women and our differences make you great! Im with you!
Machado has also obtainedher U.S. citizenshipin recent months. She may not ever be able to go back in time to defend herself against Trumps bullying, but she can now make a strong statement and hopefully a difference. Now Im strong. I am an American citizen, and Im going to vote, shes said.
Her name is Alicia Machado, and she has become a U.S. citizen, Clinton echoed at the debate, to a chorus of applause, as Trump continued to talk over her. And you can bet shes going to vote this November.

FiveThirtyEight Election: The General Election Is About To Hit The Home Stretch
The Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings are both 3-0 to start the year, two of just five undefeated teams remaining in the NFL. But given the way that both teams have played so far, there are a lot of questions about how sustainable their success will prove to be as the season continues.
Lets start with the Ravens. Although 27 other teams wish they had Baltimores record, Im not sure 27 other teams wish they had Baltimores team. Being 3-0 is great, but the Ravens have managed to achieve their perfect record while racking up about as few style points as possible.
More Sports
All three of Baltimores games have been close, with the team winning by a combined total of just 13 points. And its three opponents were Buffalo, Cleveland, and Jacksonville teams with a combined 1-8 record, all of whom ranked in the bottom six of last weeks ESPN Power Rankings. In fact, we noted back in July that the forgiving schedule should help Baltimore get off to a strong start.
What does history say about 3-0 teams that feasted on bad opponents? From 1990 to 2015, 63 teams started the season 3-0 against opponents that, like Baltimores foes, went 1-8 through three weeks.1 On average, those teams finished with 10.9 wins only a little worse than teams who had beaten better opponents:
OPPONENTS COMBINED RECORDTEAMS AVERAGE TOTAL WINS6-311.55-411.54-511.33-610.92-710.81-810.90-910.0Does schedule strength matter for 3-0 teams?
Opponents combined record is through the first three games of the season
Source: Pro-Football-Reference.com
So maybe the Ravens easy schedule isnt a big concern, but it is smart to be worried about their low points differential. The Ravens have the worst points differential of any 3-0 team since the 2004 Jaguars, who eventually finished the season 9-7. From 1990 to 2015, there were 119 teams that went 3-0 through three weeks, and only four of them the 2004 Jaguars, 1999 Patriots, 1993 Eagles and 1991 Bears had a lower points differential than Baltimore does this year.
If we use a simple linear regression between a 3-0 teams points differential through three games and its final win tally, wed expect Baltimore (at +13) to win 10 games, implying that theyd go only 7-6 the rest of the way.2 Things were even worse for the 10 lowest-ranked 3-0 teams by points differential: That group averaged just 6.3 wins over the rest of the season. So although Baltimore should be happy with its 3-0 record, a low points differential against a cupcake schedule is enough to fuel skepticism about the teams chances right now.
The Vikings success so far is based on equally unsustainable performances. Theyve compiled their 3-0 mark despite gaining only 796 yards of total offense, becoming only the fifth team since 1990 to start 3-0 with fewer than 800 offensive yards.3 Only one other team this year has played three games4 and produced fewer than 800 yards of offense: Los Angeles, with 788 and its never a good thing to be compared with the Rams lowly offense.
Minnesota ranks last in rushing yards per game and rushing yards per carry, so the running game hasnt powered the Vikings undefeated start. The offense is also in the hands of quarterback Sam Bradford, who hasnt managed many long stretches of competent play over his career. So how have the Vikings raced out to 3-0?
Bradford has a passer rating of 107.8 this year, far above his career rating of 81.6, but two games of solid play dont overshadow a career of underachievement. (His 22nd-place ranking in Total QBR also suggests that his lofty passer rating will come down to earth soon.) The biggest reasons for Minnesotas success, then, have little to do with the offense and a lot to do with a fluky scoring performance from its defense and special teams, as well as a sky-high turnover margin.
In terms of fluky scoring, so far this season, Minnesota has scored as many return touchdowns5 (three) as it has offensive touchdowns, and that trend is unlikely to continue. Even good defenses and special-teams units cant produce return touchdowns every week. Last year, Seattle and Arizona were the only teams with at least three return touchdowns through three games, and they combined for just five more the rest of the season. Digging deeper into history, from 1990 to 2015, there were 22 teams with exactly three return touchdowns after three games, and those teams averaged only 3.3 more return touchdowns the rest of the year.
As for the turnovers, the Vikings have an NFL-best +8 margin in that department through three weeks, and that trend is also unlikely to continue. From 1990 to 2015, 74 teams had a +6 or better turnover margin through three weeks. On average, those teams averaged +7.1 more takeaways than giveaways through three games, but they finished the year with a +9.5 margin. That means that over the remaining 13 games, those teams only had about 2.4 more takeaways than giveaways. Some of the Vikings early-season success has been built on performances that are simply not sustainable.
The good news for Minnesota? Last years Broncos showed that a defense-driven team can still win a Super Bowl, even when paired with a below-average offense. The Vikings defense leads the NFL in sack rate, and the run defense is allowing a mere 3.5 yards per carry. So it would be unfair to describe Minnesotas 3-0 start as entirely fluky, even if thats an accurate term for how the team has scored half of its touchdowns. That said, the Vikings have just two runs of 10 or more yards this year, tied with Jacksonville for the fewest in the NFL, and zero runs of 15 or more. And with only six passing plays of at least 20 yards, Minnesota ranks among the bottom three in the NFL in that category, too.
In other words, despite their 3-0 records, Minnesota and Baltimore are each playing with no margin for error right now. Eking out close victories or winning with turnovers and returns can work for a short while, but both methods are cause for plenty of doubts about the teams ability to be serious title contenders.
CORRECTION (Sept. 26, 11:15 p.m.): An earlier version of this article misstated the number of games that Sam Bradford has played through the first three weeks of the NFL season. It was two games, not three.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was escorted off the Hofstra University campus Monday night, in what is becoming a regular tradition for the White House hopeful who was arrested at Hofstra outside a debate in 2012.
Stein was not arrested Monday, but, after first posing with police officers for photographs, was later escorted off campus by security. Steins camp said they were on their way to do an interview when they were stopped by campus police.
Nassau police said that Stein was nicely escorted off the campus for not having the appropriate media credentials amid tight security around the debate, according to ABC News.
Stein, along with Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, was excluded from the debate after missing out on the 15 percent threshold of five recent polls set by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Stein was arrested in October 2012 outside the second presidential debate at Hofstra while protesting her exclusion from that event.
Shares of Deutsche Bank on Monday slid to a new low, as German President Angela Merkel ruled out the possibility of a state-sponsored bailout for the bank as investors around the world question its financial health.
The German banks struggles are a reminder of similar problems American banks faced in 2008, until they were bailed out by the U.S. government. The topic, though, is not exactly at the forefront of the 2016 presidential race, and its absence has been noted by candidates, including third-party contenders.
The Green Partys presidential nominee, Jill Stein, joined the FOX Business Network and explained how she would, if necessary, bail out banks in the future.
We would ensure that the American people are getting a return on their investment, Stein said. So the bailouts of 2008 were just handouts. They were corporate welfare on steroids, to the tune of $16 trillion when you add up all of it.
Stein, who is in favor of bailout out student debt and providing tuition-free public college education, said there are more options than just bank bailouts.
The bank can be, for example, nationalized and turned into a public bank or broken up into smaller banks, Stein said. We need to correct the problem and not just go back to the same problem of banks that are too big to fail, because thats where we are.

Commenting on the latest news about the struggling Deutche Bank, the Green Party nominee said:
This failure of Deutche Bank has been in the works for a while. And our own banks are more consolidated than ever; more risky than ever. What a President Stein would do upon taking office is insist that we use what are called minimum capital requirements so that the banks are not taking really dangerous risks with taxpayer money. And if they do fail, we need to ensure that taxpayer interests are insured going forward and in the process of that bailout.
Though Stein will not be on the debate stage Monday night due to missing part of the requirements set forward by the Commission on Presidential Debates, she stated that she would be responding to questions online.
We are virtually opening up the debate through Facebook and through Twitter, Stein said. People can go to social media. They can go to my website and our web media and they can see through Twitter and through a new app. They can basically watch us live, inserted into the debate through this new democratized form of media that is social media, and the open internet.
She added:
The way itll work is that the candidates will each first answer the questions on the stage in the debate arena, and following Trump and Clinton, then I will answer will answer the question. Then well revert to the open discussion, in which I will also take two opportunities to respond to the issues as they come up. So it will be a virtually liberated debate in which the American people can actually hear the real issues in front of us.

Hillary Clinton"s problem with young people is still evident in a recent McClatchy/Marist poll. While 47 percent of voters aged 18 to 29 support her (tying 45- to 59-year-olds for the highest level), a third of them are still planning to vote for a third party.
So, for Clinton partisans out to convince Jill Stein supporters to pull the lever for Hillary (or the ones who live in a swing state and hence are meaningfully enfranchised, at any rate), here is the best argument to do so.
It comes via a pseudonymous attorney who goes by @kept_simple, and can be summarized in two words: court appointments. America has an unusually powerful court system, both for good and for ill, and so the composition of the federal judiciary is hugely important. Here"s the meat of the case:
The ability to appoint federal judges is one of a presidents most important powers. Appointing a judge is comparatively much easier for a president than indirectly shepherding legislation through Congress (notwithstanding Merrick Garlands ongoing entombment in the Capitol crypts), requiring only the consent of the Senate rather than passage by both houses of Congress. Furthermore, a judge with a lifetime appointment allows a presidents influence over policy to continue long after he or she leaves office. [Medium]
What"s more, Democrat-appointed judges are likely to be substantially to the left of the people who appointed them. He compares Bill Clinton"s rather abysmal record on criminal justice and welfare policy to the far more progressive decisions handed down by his Supreme Court appointees, who have no need to triangulate against leftists to win.
The same will certainly be true of most Hillary Clinton appointees. Federal judge nominees are generally taken from the pool of elite lawyers loyal to the Democratic Party. Highly educated people skew liberal in general, and any attorney likely to be appointed as a judge will be on the leftward edge of that spectrum.
And since there is a decent chance that Democrats will take back the Senate in November, Clinton will have a golden opportunity to fill the many vacancies left by two years of Republicans bottling up all Obama"s nominees, including a seat on the Supreme Court.
It"s no panacea, of course. Judges, including those appointed by Democrats, can make wretched decisions like anyone else.
But witness Barack Obama"s appointments to the federal judiciary, which have quietly transformed that institution over his presidency. When he first became president, only one of the 13 federal courts of appeal had a Democratic majority but now nine of them do. As a result, many Republican political and legal initiatives have run into legal roadblocks. Most notably, efforts by Republican state governments to prevent blacks and other Democratic-leaning constituencies from voting have been repeatedly overturned by Obama-appointed federal judges, sometimes with blistering attacks on their racist intent.
This leads me to the second-best reason to vote Clinton. Since she will probably not lead Democrats to take the House of Representatives, executive actions are the only realistic prospect for action on all manner of critical problems. Most importantly, President Obama"s Clean Power Plan the only climate policy currently imaginable, which Clinton has pledged to protect and extend is under legal challenge in front of the D.C. Circuit Court.
Having Clinton in place to keep pushing that initiative, and to stack the federal judiciary with liberals who will protect it, is critical to making any forward progress whatsoever on the most urgent problem facing human society today. Conversely, if Trump wins, you can kiss all that goodbye particularly the Supreme Court, which would no doubt be stuffed full of reactionary 30-year-old phrenologists from Taki Mag.
So, for young swing state Clinton skeptics, think of the EPA before you vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein.
America never has, and never will, face a shortage of attractive people looking under-fed and willing to pose for photos or stroll down a runway. The modeling profession will never require bending immigration rules so that our country doesnt get out-modeled by foreign competitors.
The only reason this needs clarification is because Melania Trump, who could become Americas next first lady, somehow finagled a coveted H1B visa in 2000 (the same year she began appearing in public with Donald Trump) under the guise of being a model. Not just any model but one of extraordinary ability, according to her application.
How a Slovenian fashion model pulled this off is still unclear, but its highly likely that someone of significant influence in very high places assisted. Someone like Donald Trump.
Only 65,000 H1B visas are awarded each year, which is an extremely small number compared with the high demand. The H1B visa program was created to ensure that American employers have access to top-level talent when American workers are unable to fill the void.
Employers in science, engineering and high-tech fields have been pleading with Congress for years to raise the cap on these visas because American companies are losing their competitive edge for lack of qualified talent. When key employees must exit the country because their work permits have expired and they cannot obtain an H1B visa, the employer is forced to scramble to find someone else of equal talent. Meanwhile, his former employee typically goes to work for competing companies in more immigration-friendly countries overseas.
That gives the overseas companies a competitive recruiting advantage. Because Congress has so radically restricted H1B access, top-notch scientists and computer engineers from China and India, among other countries, are opting to forgo the hassle of U.S. immigration laws altogether. This is one reason U.S. employers reduce their operations here and, instead, move to countries where fewer restrictions apply.
The United States has never faced a shortage of fashion models. The H1B program was never designed to help maintain Americas edge on the fashion runway. The visa that Melania Trump obtained came at the expense of some other employer who needed it for a more critical sort of worker.
Donald Trump, of course, denies having intervened on Melanias behalf. He also claims to be the standard-bearer of the movement to halt immigration abuses. If this doesnt qualify as an abuse of the system, what does?
The fact is, Trump lives and breathes by a double standard on immigration in which its perfectly fine to bend the rules when it suits his needs. When its other peoples lives, families and staffs on the verge of being split up, he shrugs his shoulders and pronounces, Get em outta here.
