Quoted: I think a lot of people overhyped it. GD expected him to swoop onto stage riding a shark with a laser mounted on its head and blast her into a pile of ash. My prediction is he gains a slight advantage in the polls or things basically stay the same. He came off as Trump, not a politician. The average person only watched the first ten minutes anyway, and at that point he was kicking ass. View Quote Don't worry, all the soundbites on repeat will be from the second half. |

This is the exact same way he behaved in the primary debates. This is what you saw then, this is what you told us would destroy Clinton in these debates. He did nothing shocking or surprising in any way. WTF were you expecting? (and for the record, I don't think your savior and hero worship object blew it as badly as you think he did). View Quote Yep. My response in the other thread: "Trump doesn't win debates, he wins popularity contests. I hope he keeps it up through November." |

This is very simple to understand. Hillary demanded and received from her friend mr. Holt the questions ahead of time so she had the answers memorized the moderators job at this debate was to make Hillary look good and to do his best to degrade and trip up Trump and keep him on the defensive was the most corrupt debate I have ever seen this She-Devil is a witch with a capital B and the hottest place in hell is reserved for her.

I think Trump did well. He took control of the debate away from Lester Holt early on and was quick and sharp with what he wanted to say. Clinton looked like the smarmy politician she is and lost. Lester Holt was the only one I saw on the defensive. Though he didn't "fact check" Trump while he was speaking, it seemed to me that Holt had worded his questions to Trump in such a way that clearly showed bias for the DNC. View Quote |

Didn't see that coming. I had them up by a field goal. Better luck next time, I guess. Can't pick 'em all. Oh, and something something, Giant Douche/Turd Sandwhich debate, whatever. |

Meh, last time around everyone was all enamored with how well Romney did in the first debate...then nothing, then he lost.
I will withhold judgment for the time being. He will certainly need to come out better prepared for the next debate and finish strong. |

Quoted:
Started out strong in the first 10 minutes Then spent the entire time on the defensive Hillary had all of the witty remarks He failed to attack on her plenty of opportunities (BLM, emails). Instead kept saying "I agree with Hillary" then went on tirade all over the place defending himself Then he caps the entire debate with "If she is President I will fully support her" Where was the Trump from the Republican debates with the witty attacks? Where was the energized Trump? He looked nervous and kept rambling on, taking sips of water every second. Meanwhile sickly Hillary didn't touch her water once. View Quote If you are trolling you suck like an Oreck better luck next time. |

No he didn't.
If anyone is keeping track, this is me defending Trump and gym007 criticizing him. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox declared Clinton the winner on this one. She definitely seemed more presidential. I hate to say it, but Donald should be in damage control mode now. I hope he can turn it around. That was awful.

I was at work and didn't watch, but if even the OP thinks it went bad....fuuuuuuccckkkk.

Meh. Not a deal clincher for either one.
Holy shit did she lie and lie about her racist campaign not starting the birther issue. Bull shit! |
|
He did just fine tonight.
She resorted several times to the Biden "laugh" and you could tell Trump was being dynamic when she was clearly unable to respond. |
|
I think he did better than GWBush first debate in 2000.
Now if only he can get her riled up enough to leave the podium and try to Vince Foster him on live tv.... They should give the candidates drug tests because she was getting a little too much pharmaceutical assistance tonight. |

Lol at those who were voting for Trump because they thought he was some master debater.

He was too arrogant and was not disciplined enough to stick to his talking points. He does not need to defend every attack she levied - but he fell for it. Don't think he expected Hillary to be that sharp. I didn't. She was well groomed. No screeching voice. No shrillness. No coughing or falling over. On point with the attacks. Witty comebacks. Hate to say it but the wretched witch destroyed him from what I saw. Hopefully he learned his lesson for the next debates. Hillary wasn't that sharp at all.

You know, I was disappointed, and then I started thinking about it. He didn't exactly start off strong in the primary debates either. He also looked like he had a cold. His eyes were red and his voice wasn't particularly strong. I think that ending piece where Hillary went for the jugular with the verbatim Megyn Kelly attack is going to make her look bad, especially given his response where he did not go after the shit she's done. He kept his cool in this light of a direct personal attack. He has time.

OK
New Plan Win Senate and House elections. Focus on that. As long as we control those, she cannot do anything that bad. |

"Hillary has the experience, I agree she does,.... the bad experience"
LOL. Trump really owned her with that line. Woosh. I laughed so hard at that one. He repeated it a few times because it was so good ! |
|
More of a draw than a trainwreck. He rattled her and she was over speaking when he touched nerves. He had numerous open shots he could've taken but didn't. She was doped up a bit as seen in the placid stares and the wife commented on a subtle head bob/tic that was appearing periodically. Watching her demeanor just solidified my resolve to never vote for her under any circumstance.

I agree he completely missed an opportunity tonight. I don't know if it changes much, though. People seem to be really polarized, without a lot of true undecided voters actually in play. (despite what they may say) I was listening to the callers on C-SPAN after the debate, they all basically said it changed nothing for them.
One fine, vibrant, highly-educated gem from MD, I believe, did point out that one of the reasons Trump wasn't fit to be Pres was because he "sniffed so much." |

Donald did a good job of prepping the battleground IMHO.
Positioned himself square center in her and the MSM's OODA LOOP. |

I posted this in another thread-
"They" reined him in too far. Inner city murders, "Over 99% of gun owners do no wrong with their firearms, the crimes being carried out are a direct result of your party's, the Democrats, policies." International policies and our safety- "Your criminal decision to have an unsecured server in your basement have done more harm to our country than any individual in the history of our country. You should be in jail." "Racist Birther." "There was nothing racist about it. We have rules & laws in this country pertaining to who can become president. Rules and laws are something that you routinely ignore when it suits your agenda." Fuck, there is so much more but I'm tired of typing. He let waay too much slide. |

i guess that there is no other choice but to vote for hilary at this point.

Remember when you are your boys kept posting the number for the suicide holtline when Cruz was tanking?
Still got that number handy, bud? |

He just got beat by 4+ touchdowns. If It was a football game it would be 27-3.

That was Trump being Trump, so I don't think anyone should be shocked by it. The only complaint I had, was that he missed quite a few opportunities to bash her. I doubt this debate caused anyone to switch sides so no loss there. He just needs to focus on keeping his voters enthusiasm up. View Quote |
