I think he wrote the review before the debate.

Holt made this all about what the libtards view as Trumps negatives. Trump put all that bull to sleep and now can address her negatives which are enormous in the next debates.

I thought for a non-politician, Donald Trump did fine, especially given a 3rd debater was teaming up against him.

hilLIARy was very arrogant and came off as an elitist snob. She was up there and represented everything that has gone wrong with America. I think Trump got in his jabs pointing some of that out and needs to continue to do that.

While I don't disagree with your observation(s), I do find a flaw in your logic. Which is, that those who were "undecided" heading into the debate are mostly uninformed voters and, they found a politician who said (mostly) the right things -- and it wasn't Trump.

For those who don't follow politics as we do, Hillary scored a point or two with the electorate - which ain't good in a national election. Trump *easily* allowed half a dozen softballs go by unchallenged --- and he is way too smart for that. I am curious as to why he let that happen and hope that he will correct that in the upcoming debates...

I was really speaking for myself. I could care less about the undecideds. If they can't decide by now, the difference between good and evil, they never will. If we do get hilLIARy by their choice, then they will get the leader they deserve.

I will do my part to try to make that not happen but if it is God's will for this nation because so many have turned away from him, then so be it. I humbly say, his will be done.

And the new marching orders are in— “erratic “ is now going to be the word they try to tie to Trump.

Well at least he’s stopped being “dark and dystopian.” I look forward to 30 news outlets calling Trump “erratic” later today. Not.

I’ve always wondered how dems/libs are able to smile and chuckle as they misdirect what was said about something. Over the years has anyone else noticed this? They smile, chuckle and shake their head and dismiss what was said, all the time behaving as if they know better yet don’t if one hears what they say rather then read their body language. I’ve always found d this odd as it is out of sync with truth/reality. The words chide and reprove suddenly come to mind to describe their behavior.

I’d say he’s building up her confidence since there are two more debates to go.

"Why would the markets go up if she won?"

The petro dollar banksters don't want someone winning POTUS who they have not bought already...

It is very hard to buy someone who is considered a Billionaire.

Trump missed some golden opportunities.
Income. No mention of the Foundation, gets beat up over tax return.
No mention of the crooked Haiti dealings.
Economy. Let the ‘wonderful recovery ‘ scenario stand mainly because he has no numbers to spout. Preparation.
Emails. Details of deliberate wrongdoing. Let her slide with the ‘ I made a mistake and won’t do it again. Again, Preparation.

Bone up on some facts and numbers. Obviously Hillary’s preparation paid off.

...”Hillary came across as “presidential” and Trump came across as commander-in-chief. In a fight of 2-against-1, Trump emerged slightly rumpled, but not bloodied and certainly not bowed. For undecided voters, that overall tone may be more important than little rhetorical points.”...

I agree. It was the way they looked, perhaps more than what was said. Clinton came off smug and the fake smile was off-putting. Trump’s honesty projected and a his demeanor put forth a big hearted man who loves this country and is REALLY worried about her and her people. Hillary’s sense of personal importance was grossly assisted by Lester Holt, her tag team partner. Body language speaks louder than words and I think it certainly did last night.

Dude, no closing statements and Trump knew it so he made one. Then answered the question.

It was probably half written before the debate even started, I’m sure.

I think Dow futures are bouncing off a technical floor. I don’t think the debate had much to do with it.

Trump still needs to better prepare for the next debate so he doesn't come off as "erratic." Actually participating in some mock debates (which he reportedly did not do) will help give him some muscle memory to avoid those traps in the future.

To that end, Trump should prepare for the next debates the way he would prepare for a major business deal negotiation, to bring discipline to the table as he deals with the voters to elect him as President.

Trump’s eyes were “flurrying around the room?” What about Clinton’s blinking and looking in two directions at once?
