I could not stop watching until the very end because there was something that was telling me he’s going to do quite well out of this

Trump was real, to the point of being a poor debater.

Hillary was scripted and fake, and was a good debater.

On a very important level, the sense of a person trumps (ahem) the performance. That's what got Mika sensed, and why she clutched her pearls. Voters, Americans in particular, desire honesty. Only one candidate offered it, even though he didn't debate well.

Very well said!

You HIT the NAIL on the HEAD.

Trump appeared human, he did not “respond in kind” to Hillary’s guttersnipe personal attacks (although everybody knows exactly what he COULD have said about her and Slick), and he was clearly “sandbagged by a coordinated attack from the moderator and Hitlary.

It was clear who was “the mean one” and it wasn’t Trump.

Hitlary may have won the battle last night but lost the war.

Her slick glibness must have had Americans rolling their eyes in disgust. Trump may have stumbled during the double-team, but he was genuine and seemed to genuinely CARE.

The smug, smarmy “Ice Queen” did not.

It was the starkest contrast between the dismissive, arrogant “politics as usual” and it alternative.

I’m thinking that the American People are willing to try somthing different this time. Hitlary confirmed once and for all last night that she has NOTHING - ZERO - new to offer...
