I have been with Trump from day one. I’ll crawl through a minefield to vote for him.

And you are spot on. I was hoping for so much more.

That said, I thought the same during the primaries. He just kept just marching on though.

Range - have a more powerful repeater on a nearby friendly: Bubba in the front row.

Security - You can get shielded thin or flat wire.

Battery - You could easily make a flat flexible battery pack and conceal it in a much better location. Put it inside her jacket front, NOT in the back where bending would reveal it.

I don't know. Maybe I'm making too big a deal, but it looks like they got the equipment from "Joe's Spy Shop" for $99.99.

-- Just rewatching. Both had lapel mics on. --

Yes, Thanks. I missed that. I still think the box in the small of her back is fishy. That is a difficult place to hang a transmitter that will be used for just the duration of the debate.

Okay, so I post a reply to your statement(s), and you feel you must immediately invoke ad hominem attacks against me for whatever reason.

Fine.

I posted an opinion, and for no reason whatsoever, you want to go personal? So, should I let my darker side post what will get me banned either temporarily or permanently in response to your aggression?

What's the point?

No, I'm not viewing anything through “TRUMP ROSY GLASSES”, I'm looking at this objectively from the viewpoint of those who do no follow politics 7x24x365. Such a viewpoint emulates that of %95+ of the electorate, and like it or not, they do not share your opinion that you have laid bare on this forum over the last 18 years.

Since I'm “dumb” and “a political naif”, I will leave you with your narcissistic personality and your own sense of superiority and overvalued self worth.

Good Night Snowflake.

When Sarah Palin debated Joe Biden she asked him if he would mind if she called him Joe rather than Senator Biden.

He said OK.

I wonder if Hillary was as Gracious to Mr. Trump? No I don't wonder, I already know.

“Newt said when Trump passed on hitting Hillary after she had just savaged him because he saw Chelsea in the audience was the most important moment of the debate.”

I agree this is worth repeating for two reasons, it highlights her wicked, cruel, attack and his ability to pass on a response to spare her family.

WE are political junkies, the everyday Joe is going to see Trump as FAR MORE authentic than she was!!! She was a SCRIPTED professional politician the people WANT CHANGE!!!! Trump did just fine and the American people are behind him NO MATTER WHAT!!!! This debate and future debates don’t mean a DAMNED THING to Joe six pack!!! Trump in NO WAY came off as a WACKO the way she has portrayed him!!!

-- I keep telling myself he was playing possum ... --

I don't think so. He did the best he could. The reason he'll do better next time is due to experience. Now he know what to expect, won't have the same degree of jitters, will learn from the exact "lost opportunities" of toonight, and so on.

Hillary was perfectly scripted in so many responses, so either she knew some of the questions or she and her staff are clairvoyant.

4818, I have many times put them in the back like that and run it up and over the shoulder to keep from exposed wires coming out of the jacket pocket.

Bob Sciefer just reported that Hillary most likely will NOT win any new voters from tonight’s debate performance! He is CBS too

I don’t see any earpiece, do see a lapel/lavalier microphone. The mic would have a battery/transmitter, but putting that in the small of her back is weird to me, as would be routing the mic wire up to her neck and back down.

Brent Bozell is on Cavuto. Here’s his break down:

Lester Holt challenged TRUMP on his taxes.

He challenged him on “stop and frisk”.

He challenged him on the “birther” issue.

He asked him, also, about Iraq and then challenged, or interrupted him *six* different times.

Not one single challenge to Hillary on anything she said, and not one tough question on the myriad of scandals surrounding her— Benghazi, Clinton Foundation, the emails, medical records, etc.

Holt caved to his media colleagues.

Giuliani added in a separate segment, that stop and frisk was *never* judged unconstitutional, because the case against it was *enjoined* by a higher court and the initial judge was removed from the case, deemed politically biased!

Rudy said the current mayor simply chose not to enforce it. Period.

Those people already have their minds made up and hopefully they will not be voting for someone they know is a liar and can’t be trusted.

There are many people still on the fence, being spoon fed every day by the media, that Trump is a racist who can’t be trusted because he’s a loose cannon. They are pounding the DNC talking points about Hillary 24/7.

If Trump doesn’t take an opportunity before the largest audience he will have, to call her BS, then who is going to do it.

Okay, he got in a few licks, like the line about releasing the 33,000 emails, but Holt let her skate on everything she said. Trump also let so much slide.
