Donald Trump won tonight’s debate. He didn’t implode, he didn’t blither, he didn’t continually interrupt Hillary Clinton and he didn’t even sniff much. And, frankly, he had the best retorts and one-liners. Clinton was on her heels much of the night, and several times, she had to reset by resorting to tired, hollow platitudes — which only drove home the point that she lacks authenticity and appears to be a typical politician who is therefore dishonest. That said, Clinton was an able, informed politician, but Trump — for the first time — appeared to be a worthy opponent.
The fact is this is a change election, and Clinton is not the change candidate. People don’t really want to vote for her, and tonight, she didn’t give them much of a reason to do so.
And perhaps Trump put voters more at ease with Trump. Up until this debate, Trump has helped Clinton out by running a campaign that has been a complete misfire — taking the bait, chasing rabbits, insulting women, wallowing in conspiracies and almost consciously avoiding things voters care about. But during this debate, he held his tongue and held his temper. Trump isn’t particularly light on his feet, but he was confident and competent talking about the economy. It’s a wonder he hasn’t talked about the economy during more of the campaign. Anyway, he even showed a much better understanding of geopolitics than I would have thought. He sounded like a Republican on most issues. For Trump, it’s too bad there aren’t more debates.

People don’t really want to vote for her, convince them to vote Trump or stay home.
Pigs fly! Don’t look up.
When I heard the talking heads yesterday saying how the polls reflect that the majority of people believe Clinton to be the candidate of change I shook my head.
No way this can be true...except if there are enough Americans who are foolish enough to believe this...
That’s when I got nervous.
Poor scumbags in the media, they are so shell shocked by Trump they don’t know what lie to tell so the actually swerve into the truth during these attacks of apoplexy.
The whole sniffing thing is really exasperating. This is the first debate where is microphone was set up correctly and did not have too much compression and expansion.
Hillary showed again that she is a traitor to the United States of America!
Donald Trump and other patriotic Americans should be demanding Hillary’s immediate resignation and arrest.
and here I thought the MSM wont stop until the final election day to lie for their putrid party. At least one propagandist gave up and surrendered..or grew a brain cell.
I think Mr. Rogers had a truth attack. Will regret it when he comes to his senses, but it will be too late - the damage is done.
You mean that 4 minute thing? Well, see, it was filed on her email server under “C”, and she thought that meant that stood for “Cool!”

Ya gotta believe that being taken so much for granted, for so long, by a mean, hateful, lying biatch would eventually hit a pride nerve.
Poll to Freep...

Hillary is a platitude, tired and old. She is trying to act beyond her expiration date.
This WAPO piece indicates the tide has turned.
