Saw that last night....you gotta love Newt. He does make some very good points that transcend the status quo thinking about the debate.
The 180 degree viewpoint of Newt had to be Judge Napolitano. He was brutal in his assessment. I don’t have a link to that interview last night but it was vicious.
All in all, if I’m going to be completely honest...I’d give Trump a ‘C’. I think claiming he knocked it out of the park does a disservice to him. He can do a hell of a lot better and he will in the upcoming 2 debates.
I think Trump did what he had to minimally accomplish and I don’t think the polls will reveal too much change.
The thing I liked best about Trump last night was the fact that he looked and sounded presidential. He maintained composure in what was a clear attempt and strategy by clinton to piss him off and bolster the temperament narrative. They failed at that.
The thing that was most disappointing was some hoovering softballs that Trump didn’t swing at. Not just the cyber security stuff but also when Hillary was talking about words meaning things and our allies need to know that when we say something we mean it. Ummmm, like the Syrian line in the sand Hillary???
I think Trump will crush her in debate 2.
