Hundreds, thousands, so many. I can name them all day. Heard that I don't know how many times. After every subject.

I called it in the "Yippie, they're gonna have a debate thread". She would wax his ass. She set the ball up for the spike so many times but he never crammed it down her throat.

I watched the whole thing.

I know I've criticized him a bunch on this site, but I truly wanted him to do well. The first half he was great, the second half after hillary got him with a few good hit he lost it. Started stumbling on his words, not fully completing his thought process, and totally went on the defensive. He even said "I had something I wanted to say, but I didn't want to be that mean". Referred to her as Secretary Clinton...

It was not the attack dog tactics he used in the Republican debates.

He was just as bad as the primary debates from what I've been hearing...



and look how that turned out.


He had balls in the primary debates.

He did all the same stuff I saw from the small amount I watched tonight.    



And won.

Let me talk gym007 and some of the other Trump fan boys off the ledge.

Debates, politically speaking, are not won or lost.  The idea that one candidates "wins" or "loses" is a silly, and originally came around as a ploy for TV networks to get ratings.  To make debates more interesting they created a horse-race narrative, all in order to make it more exciting for the viewer.

What many people, and I assume the OP, wanted was for Trump to come out and act like he did during the primaries, and act like he was on WWF/WWE again.  That strategy would not have worked, since he has already locked up the votes of the people who like that type of discourse.  His goal was to be more measured, and prove that he can stay on topic and not be insulting at every turn.  For the most part he did do that.

Who "wins" a debate, at the end of the day, is the person who wins the election.  So Clinton could have strapped one on and done Trump dry, and it would not matter if she lost the election.  What matters is that Trump's numbers increase, and he appeals to more people.  We won't know the damage or success of tonight for some time.

Now, if one of you Trump-fucks want to accuse me of being a Hillary supporter, you can go fuck yourself with the aforementioned strap-on.

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.

Trump was a fucking buffoon in the primary debates, he was just able to hide it among the drama of 16 other candidates. We fucking warned you Trumpostles and you wouldn't fucking listen. So thanks,you guys handed this country to the extreme anti-American left.

He was trying to take the moral high ground - which certainly doesn't give us any fanservice, but might help him pander to the center/independents if that's what he was trying to do.

"Blowing it" doesn't look like that. Blowing it looks like getting red in the face, shouting and swearing at her, and calling her a lying cunt on national TV. (Fun as that might be for about 5 seconds, he would lose the election that way)

Is he still going to vote for him? The answer is yes.

Trump needs new votes. And the new votes he needs doesn't care about any of that stuff. They care about jobs and how the democrats have failed them.

Hillary Clinton <[email protected]>

XXXX, a few minutes ago I walked off stage after taking on Donald Trump.

I hope I showed that I will never stop fighting for you or the people you love. But I need you with me. Your contribution right now is about much more than money -- it shows that no matter how hard this race gets, you'll still be there for me.

Chip in $3 or more tonight and show that you're standing by my side.

Or donate another amount:

Thank you,

Hillary

Naw, just honest emough to know who can draw votes and who cannot...case in point..if Cruz was so great, why wouldn't people vote for him? What would have happened in the general? Who in the middle was ever going to vote for Cruz? Absolutely no one...that's called facing reality.......

my first reaction was that clinton had the better night.  then i went back and watched it again.  trump was amazing.  i think i expected her to be awful so when she was competent i was disappointed and worried.  watching it back a second time, trump by far had the most conviction, had the most suggestions for actual things to do rather than just saying what needs to happen, he was more natural, not rehearsed.  much of the concepts he put out there will be heard for the first time by millions of americans.  we are mostly familiar with his messages but to someone new tuning in for the first time, he stands out far and above the rehearsed, fake, politician that hillary clinton was tonight...

it's amazing that there was not one mention of a wall.  my opinion was affected by seeing trump winning just about every online poll asking who won.  even liberal polls like time, cnbc, etc...

You realize online polls tonight mean about as much as me telling you that I'm Superman, right?

We won't know who won the debate for about a week when enough polls come in to see if this shifted the needle at all in either direction.

my first reaction was that clinton had the better night.  then i went back and watched it again.  trump was amazing.  i think i expected her to be awful so when she was competent i was disappointed and worried.  watching it back a second time, trump by far had the most conviction, had the most suggestions for actual things to do rather than just saying what needs to happen, he was more natural, not rehearsed.  much of the concepts he put out there will be heard for the first time by millions of americans.  we are mostly familiar with his messages but to someone new tuning in for the first time, he stands out far and above the rehearsed, fake, politician that hillary clinton was tonight...

it's amazing that there was not one mention of a wall.  my opinion was affected by seeing trump winning just about every online poll asking who won.  even liberal polls like time, cnbc, etc...

WTF?

* Hillary Clinton: Clinton wasn't perfect in this debate. At times she came across as overly rehearsed and robotic. I thought her answer on race relations was way too much head and not enough heart. But, Clinton was head and shoulders better than Trump. She was, unsurprisingly, very well prepared -- using a slew of facts and figures to not only make her positive case but also to slam Trump. She was terrific in bashing Trump on taxes. Her response to Trump's attack on her temperament -- the shoulder shimmy! --  was effective. Her birtherism response -- while low-hanging fruit -- was effective. And, on her biggest weakness -- her decision to establish a private email server at the State Department, Clinton skated. She delivered a full and unequivocal apology -- what a concept! -- and the debate moved on without much of a stir. This was a clear win for her on virtually every front.

For someone that supposedly blew it tonight, Trump is decisively winning damn near all polling.

This was exactly how Trump handled the Republican debates.

And people said he won them.  


Evidence says that he did win, the evidence being he is the nominee. Debating skills mean jack if you can not meet the first challenge, ie win the election.

I was too bus trading emails with people who do not think Hillary won a knockout. People who will likely support that Hag thought it was close and think the moderator is a dick.

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.

Wtf are you smoking? The first ten minutes were such an embarrassment, I decided to play with my kids other than watch this pathetic floundering of incoherent bullshit after 30 minutes.  What a disappointment. I could debate her on that stage and win. He was terrible.

Online polls that anybody can vote in, and can often vote multiple times, are not scientific.

Wasn't able to vote multiple times on any poll I checked. And that was about 10.

I think Trump blew it.  He got baited repeatedly by Clinton, who looked cool, composed, and knowledgeable.  Trump came off as angry and rambling.

That said, I have no idea how this will affect him in the polls.  This election is weird.  Likely he's going to get all the attention in the post-debate news cycle.  This could retardedly end up helping him.  Or he'll take another dip in the polls.  Who fucking knows.
