I find it interesting that you’re taking so much incoming over an honest opinion.
If I look at it from the point of view of the average low information voter, I have to back you up, it would seem Hillary won it.
I don’t like that, but I think you’re right. Trump seemed off his game, was sniffling a lot, I think he had...or has...a cold, and simply didn’t have a great night. He did well, but overall common opinion is going to be that she won it, or that he lost it.
Holt helped her a lot. She got more mic time, I could see that without timing it, he only tried to call time on her twice if I remember correctly, and tried to stop Trump several times. In Trump’s favor, he ignored Holt at least twice and I loved it. He didn’t ask her any tough questions, the only time I remember him interrupting her was to call time, twice I think, and repeatedly interrupted Trump.
Highly one sided, in Hillary’s favor, Holt did everything he could to help her win, and I think Trump held his own quite well against their tag teaming, and considering he was obviously under the weather but didn’t necessarily win it. They kept him on the defensive most of the night, and that was the biggest thing, people will see that as a loss no matter how well he actually did.
People can bash me too if they want, I don’t care, but I think you have been taking a lot of unfair incoming for simply posting an honest opinion. A discussion is fine, but all this unfair and biased bashing is not necessary.
I am a HUGE Trump supporter, but unlike many posters here, I am also honest, blunt, and am able to not blind myself to reality. Trump needed more prep and Holt went far beyond Candy Crowley, in playing both opponent and moderator.
The whole point of these debates is to try to get those who haven't yet paid much to any attention, to see how "good" one or the other debater is/win them over.
For the "white glove" RINOS, Trump failed miserably.
For the LIVs, I'm thinking that it was split and that's being generous.
For the Millennials....WHO KNOWS...they're mostly nuts!
