Trump took the lead. Nice job FReepers

One and all...they are NOT happy about tonight’s debate!

The liberals are not happy? Do tell! Do you get a feel for why they are not happy?

I thought the same thing, there was no take-away line and Hillary did not land a knock-out blow. He is authentic as hell which is his big plus and Hillary is programmed, insincere and down right unlikable.

I would like to see him hire someone like Laura Ingraham to help fine tune his responses to Hillary's attacks. (I don't think she helped him prepare for this debate)

Hillary essentially called every white person in the country a racist. Donald should have framed her comment and asked her directly, are you calling white people racist? Also when Hillary came after him for his comments on women, he should have responded with the Rosie O'Donnell comment and followed by referencing Hillary's deplorables insult to millions of hardworking Americans. Hillary is the one needing to make apologies.

He did fine and did not hurt himself. Trump was the only real person on the stage, yet he can be much better and I believe someone like Laura Ingraham could be a big help.

Will anyone care?

[Kudsman]

Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet. I think the best quip of the night went to Trump hands down. When she lamented early on that she was probably going to “be blamed” for a lot of things. His timing was perfect and voice clear as he asked simply “Why not?”. I got a belly laugh out of that one.

[broken_clock]

Thank you!!! Good work. Here is a smaller version. Is this the best screen capture or do your other 2 captures show it also?

This is the closeup. The other two pics just show the full screen.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Calm down, please.

[mplsconservative]

No, I made the argument of why professional politicians win people's votes. People hate professional politicians because what they promise never pans out.

That doesn't help Trump any if he looks LESS credible than the professional politician in a side by side match up.Don’t believe me, watch the analysis on even Fox news.

Even Fox News! Laugh

Sure can. No piece of clothing prints like that.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thanks for posting this.

[Yaelle]

Maybe her mic or her pee sack on the back instead of the leg?

[nopardons]

Thanks and I agree with what you said too!

Just wait...some moron will call YOU out too. They're after blood tonight, but don't realize WHOM they are going after. Thus far, it's been me, DougFromUpland, and Laz....of all people.

We've donated to The Donald too. :-)

[longtermmemmory]

This is just Reagan again. The reporters are clueless. She was boring and same old Clinton womanizer manure.

[RitaOK]

APPLAUSE!! Hi,ya’, dear pal of mine! Great comment!

I’m stuck on my cell phone with no desktop at the moment. It burned up! Therefore, I am unable to post so often. So good to see you!

[Donnafrflorida]

My take too. Everyone keeps saying he is up against all the media. Pundits. Fat cats. DC elites. Etc.
This debate proved it. I say it helps him. He proved he isnt a smug arrogant career politician. Thats a good thing this election. t

[Timpanagos1]

“Even Fox News! Laugh”

And that surprises you?

Fox News, every person there is against Donald Trump.

[Cboldt]

-- My son's liberal millennial gamer group thought Hillary did slightly better. --

Confirmation bias. They aren't on the fence anyway, and likely don't grasp the gravity of the situation Trump was animated over as he talked about "the bubble" and Janet Yellen and the FED.

If the meausre is conformity to the debate format, sure, she stuck to the script better - she should, she had a hand in writing it, and her handlers scripted her responses.

A missed opportunity here! --->

"how can you take advice on cyber-security from someone who kept a server in her bathroom?" something Trump didn't say
