I get the feeling it probably was a draw. Trump seems to have done well on numerous fronts and it was quite obvious from the get go that Holt was covering for Hillary. Where he may have come up short, it can probably be stuff to learn from going forward. I can’t see Hillary making herself seem convincing or likeable from this performance.

I’d say it was a draw. Trump rattled Hillary a couple of times however he let her get him into the weeds. He should not let her side track him. He’s needs to pound her more on the e-mails and Benghazi.

Sadly you could not be more wrong if you tried.

I love how you butt hurt Cruze bots are so willing to be Hillary camapign shills rather then admit your analysis is based wholly on your petulance that St Ted of Tx got his ass kicked.

Except for the fact that nobody trusts Hillary because of her constant lying, so nothing she said during the debate had meaning.

uhm...
NO.

He did not attack “the girl” when he clearly could have done so, but he choked back the “bile” and let us finish her off in our own words with what he “could have said”.

Next time, he should go ahead and accuse her of leaking national secrets, and enabling cyber crime at the Department of State with an unprotected public server for state national security emails...

Or perhaps she will go into “I am too sick” mode, and Donald can flush her out in such a way that she cannot use that time to prepare for release of her next, newly minted pile of lies...

She gained nothing tonight...

No she didn’t. How about you put some cream on the Cruz butt hurt instead of clinging to your petulance?

And he got under hers a few times. You could see her face tighten and she looked pissed.

How so. Trump was Trump. She failed to get a blow in on him. Face it she can’t defend her record.

I think Trump did well speaking plainly to the fears Americans have on visceral level.

Hillary appealed to the green, anti-police, free stuff crowd.

I know Hillary is a crook, a liar, and an extension of more Obama.

But I wish Trump would not talk about his empire quite so much, not make faces and put her on defense with facts.

Hillary 30 failed years a politician with a smooth lying tongue.

Trump a businessman with common sense, gets results, says it like it is.

Clinton won because she didn't fall off the stage drooling.

It's sad, but that's basically all she had to do tonight. Her canned, memorized answers are going to look good to a large number of people who don't follow the news or politics closely.

Sadly, Trump lost the election tonight.

Still butt hurt over Cruz? Sheesh. Trump did fine. Hillary lied multiple times tonight.

I think a lot of us were expecting more from Trump and that is the disappointment we’re showing...

Considering the way the moderator treated him, he held his own...

My millenial daughter, who refuses to vote for Trump, watched all 90 minutes, to let Hillary close the deal. Now she’s not voting this fall.

I wouldn't go that far. He lost the debate because he didn't go straight for the jugular, and let her slide on her canned responses. Clinton's biggest plus in this debate was that she didn't pass out during it. That is actually going to be a serious plus to many uninformed people.

I can't believe he didn't make a single mention of her pay-for play clinton foundation
