ON THE OCCASION OF THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Donald John Trump
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, HEMPSTEAD, NY
9 PM MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2016
The 90 minute debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator and announced at least one week before the debate. The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.
What polls have him behind? Even the Lefty TIME poll had her but barely holding a tiny lead, which I was shocked by.
Overall, at least right now, he is kicking her butt.
“Try shoving it”
What are you, some kind of homo into other doods butts??
Troll city tonight...People who never contribute to FR
How long have YOU been involved in/interested in politics? I've been both...all of my entire life, on all levels; city/town/state/national. I know what I'm talking about and was trained by the best; some of whom are well known names, many of whom aren't...unless you are an insider.
What I have posted has less than NOTHING about what I wanted him to talk about ( well, okay, some of it is, because he missed MANY, FAR TOO DAMNED MANY spots where he should have taken her down with the truth! ) and I understand what moves the morons; you don't !
Good analysis—I see it the same.
Trump fought off Clinton AND Holt, and held his own.
He came off as being real.
Clinton came off as the smug insider, knowing everything, but her record is atrocious.
No Republican has ever talked to her in this manner, and certainly, he did not let her get away with anything.
Trump will get better at this, but this is Clinton’s high water mark.
Lol, the Trump surrogate on Fox News just said that “Trump said he would carpet bomb ISIS”. It was actually Cruz who said that.
Everyone says TRUMP didn’t disqualify himself
It was a draw since he was the Challenger, I’m ok with that
When she said this I thought it was a gaffe. For some unbelievable reason Trump didn’t mention Benghazi when she mentioned weapons in foreign hands, yet she reminded the American people about her Benghazi testimony. I said out loud “why would she bring that up?”
I’d feel better if it was decisive.
That’s a good analysis and sort of how I saw it.
I just checked the Time poll and Trump is now up 56 to 44. That’s better than I would have expected even if Trump had landed several haymakers. This is a VERY interesting election, if that’s right...
I'm NOT forgetting it; I'm telling you he was using a wrench to drive nails. Completely wrong tool for the job at hand.
“She’s been in DC for almost 30 years and has not done shit.”
That would be one of the few points anyone will remember. It was a great point. It helped people feel bad about her.
I was paying attention to her cadence: definitely seemed like she had a receiver. She would pause as if listening to information.
Drop dead
lol....pretty good summation.
That is probably the most subtle piece of gentlemanly condescension you will see in a photo between two people. Between the difference in height and his left hand on her back he is showing everyone who is the boss.
BINGO! Wish I would have said that! Post of the night. It goes to the heart of why Trump is where he is at: She is a polished politician of the past, exactly WHAT the public is rejecting this election cycle. Trump is the future- an actual real-life honest to goodness, non politician, change candidate.
I’ll take 6.6%!
Did tonight's debate change your mind?
Yes 12 %
No 80 %
I'm still undecided. 7 %
