I never expected Hillary to be KOed.

People who say that sound stupid.

Trump basically held his ground.

I thought Hillary sounded rehearsed, canned, robotic.

No human warmth from her.

Hillary did not succeed in bringing down Trump and neither did Holt even though that was clearly his mission.

For Trump to lose, he would have had to self-destruct. It didn’t happen.

Did YOU watch Reagan's first presidential debate? Were you even old enough to see it and remember it? REAGAN STUNK! And not only was I a Reagan supporter, I worked on his campaigns for president, so don't hand me back any crap/stupid name calling.

You have less than NO idea how the LIVs and undecideds saw this; you're just guessing.

Krauthammer is calling it a draw, which means Trump won.

Everything Hillary said was memorized and other than her bobbing head, the rest of her was stiff as a board.

I’m not sure how much stock I put in Luntz, but I hope his analysis bears out in reality.

Cruz is one of THE worst debaters I have EVER seen in my entire life!

Well OK but at least he practices. Maybe he could play Hillary for Trump.

Yep—from his very first question spent too long outlining programs. On trade got stuck on exporting jobs without getting to his economic plans at all until he somehow had about 10 seconds left. Needs practice with the short timing and the putaway response and with not getting too irritated.

Where was the happy warrior in him?

“That being said, Trump missed a LOT of opportunities tonight”

Sooooo...maybe you’d agree he isn’t a mean SOB and makes for a level headed President?

What solutions? Its a bunch of political gobbeldy goop. Trump sounded real and mentioned the real problems. I think people want to know, I do, that the President understands the problem before throwing out sound bite solutions.

Lester Holt: True Blue NBC. He constantly "fact checked" Trump, but left Hillary alone. Disgusting!

Yeah. Where did that come from? Why would Trump agree to let Lester just randomly ask HIM to substantiate his claims?

That first break in almost cost me a television!

DCWhispers is pro-Trump but here is there analysis saying “Tie Goes To The Runner: Trump defeats Hillary in 1st debate”.

Saw Ingraham on Fox awhile ago.

No candidate should ever complain about the subject of the questions that are being asked in a debate. In an open forum like this, there are plenty of opportunities to insert commentary about those other items (Clinton Foundation, e-mails, etc.) in the answers to any question.

I think the ratings for the second debate are going to be down at least 20%. I didn't even watch this debate (I haven't watched any since 1988), and it's obvious from following this thread that presidential debates in general are just idiotic.

“At 10:42 PST after the debate, Hillary is leaning forward and you can clearly see a cord ringing down her back and what seems to be a power supply on her lower back!”
~~~~~~~~

You could put a “vanity” thread up with your post. You saw it on C-SPAN. I was DVRing on FOX and rolled it back to 10:42.

It definitely looks suspicious...especially that bulge several inches below her waist in the back that certainly could be a power supply.

MSN had Trump up 5, but the respondents seemed to lean Pub and older than I expected...

“For Trump to lose, he would have had to self-destruct. It didn’t happen.”

Exactly. He did well. Who in their right mind you think with the liberal moderator that he’d do well anyway?
