The most telling part was the end where Trump walks right by Lester without shaking his hand. NBC better hope Trump loses. Their broadcast license might be in jeopardy.
Hillary was so annoying with that Cheshire cat grin. She was not her normal self. Was she on some medication???
” She didn’t lean on the podium”
Idiot. It’s a LECTERN.
The PODIUM is the platform you stand on. Same root as podiatrist.
Anyone who doesn’t know that is far too stupid and ignorant to opine on any debate.
How did “Candy” Holt look on mute?
Hillary looked like deer in the headlights: “ what is the FED, China currency devaluation? “ Huh?
“the classic American film “Wedding Crashers.””
Wedding Crashers a classic?
I think not.
Her red pantsuit... terrible optics.
Red is an angry color. It doesn’t wear well on a woman.
What was she thinking? If visual appeal matters, I want to see something flattering on a woman.
Hillary lost the debate in terms of what people saw alone.
Hillary, phony and robotic.
Trump, caring and real.
Victory Trump.
This seems to be the consensus of those that are honest and not too partial or too panicky.
1. Trump clobbered Hillary during the first 30 minutes.
2. Trump missed a lot of easy opportunities to smash Hillary.
3. Clinton came across VERY polished and prepared-—too prepared and robotic and typical politician like.
4. Trump came across as natural, but not well prepared.
5. Hillary probably dismissed some health concerns.
6. Trump probably dismissed some temperament concerns.
In all, it was probably a draw, IMO.
I fast forwarded every time it was Hillary[s turn because I can’t stand to hear the Screech. I think I still got the gist of the debate while keeping my sanity. Hillary lies through her teeth and has no idea what she’s talking about anyway,
Trump showed up in good form for the debate last night.
And while those of us who know a lot about how things have been going in our country wish that he had ripped Hillary more...his efforts last night to come across Presidential and still draw critical contrasts is proving to have worked.
For Heaven’s sake, a Time Poll on who won the debate, which normally swings hard to the DNC is showing, after over 1.6 million votes Trump winning THIS debate 55% to 45%.

The CNBC poll, and you know who that one normally goes to, with almost 1 million votes, is showing Trump winning that debate 67% to 33% for Pete’s sake.

So most Americans not only see that he showed up...but liked what he had to say.
That is amazing and has to be driving Hillary and the DNC crazy.
Good. They deserve every bit of it.
The fact is, the American people have seen enough of and heard enough of Hillary over the last 30 years.
...and more and more of them believe Trump means what he says and is capable of delivering on it.
BTW, of course the Drudge poll is showing a huge victory for Trump. With 750,000 votes it has Trump winning 82% to Hillary’s 18%.

Trump looked presidential, Hillary looked like an angry red pepper.
Hillary’s hair was glued into place. She had more make up on than the mother vampire in The Strain. She kept looking at notes. It was blatantly obvious she had memorized answers to particular questions.
Donald’s hair was...well, it was Donald’s hair. He refrained from pursing his lips too much. He didn’t appear to be as well prepared, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
She needed to look healthy and human. She was 1 for 2.
He needed to look presidential and calm. He did that.
Win to Trump by a hair...
She also said that Trump came across as the sort of boss you could talk to, (which he does because that's what he is). And the consensus was that he'd won the debate. These were liberals.
Mind you, this is not the sort of analysis we usually indulge in on FR nor is it the sort of thing that comes out of most pundits' mouths, although the PR guy who is the author of this piece is definitely referring to it. It is, however, in common currency among voters. Very interesting reactions I'm seeing, not at all what I expected.
I think people are generally sick of negative ads... I am especially sick of hers and she just continued them on the stage last night. Trump made his switch to being very presidential, and threw in the appropriate dig when it had to do with her record.
It seemed like the first question, Trump really tried to stay on point of the question itself, then Hillary went off in other directions and he tried to respond to her and the question... He hammered trade hard and I thought won the debate with the first question since Economy has to be #1 with Security being very close (way things are going might be #1 before November).
It just devolved from there, because he did not have time to both answer the questions and respond to Hillary’s little gotchas and personal attacks. Actually the Debate ended early when it turned into let’s get down in the mud... with the “Debate” question about him releasing his taxes... I fully expected it to come up, just should not have been a moderator “question”. It should have been left up to Hillary to work in like Trump did her emails in response.
The one miss I saw, was about the only time I ever heard him reference Hillary’s looks being when she was “Looking” tired (before the “pneumonia” was admitted to) I really wish he would have said that right before he went into the stamina thing... Yes we all know that was what he was talking about, but to those not following along as closely his effort may have appeared more of a switch from looks to stamina.
I was a little disappointed on how he handled the Iraq war issue, because as he said, he knew it would come up and it should have seemed a little smoother explanation... I already understood it about the same as he said, in that if you watch the Howard Stern interview, you could tell it was something off the cuff that he had not thought about much when he answered Howard (correctly by the way)... Just guessing he was like every American I knew that believed when we left Iraq the first time, that we would be going back... But I also remember the arguments Trump used to have with Hannity before we went into Iraq and Trump was staunchly against it. This is what made me think he had not changed his liberal thinking after registering Republican for his earlier presidential aspirations... For the record, I thought we should have gone back when Saddam was shooting at our planes daily, long before WMD’s were mentioned, It seems to me, like that was even before 9-11 happened I was saying that... but I was mad we left without finishing the first time. So that was a big negative on Trump I had to overcome with myself to support him now, I Never really looked into where the Stern Interview fits into the timeline. I do wonder now how much time elapsed before he changed his mind... after all he was just an every day citizen, a business man, his opinion did not involve risking peoples lives at the time, Like Hillary’s vote for it did... Its one of her few public stances I agreed with, before she said that vote was a mistake. Iraq was not a mistake until after Obama got elected... I just don’t believe Obama’s handling of it after the fact can be a factor in being right or wrong on going in the first place.
I’m not a huge McCain fan, but if he and Palin had won 8 years ago, I believe we as a country and probably the world would be in a different place today... Elections have consequences!
I watched last nights debate with the TV OFF.
Guess who won. Me.
