Good article, however, my advice to our next President is do not get over confident. Ride this baby all the way in.

Well OK then Donald. But you had better lower the boom on her the next two and take no GD guff from the MSM mods.

And by lowering the boom I mean...facts. Spell out the economics you know in detail. Like how you are going to nearly eliminate the income tax for the middle class. How you are going to lower the corp tax that will virtually ensure new business and existing business growth.

Then, if the bat starts on her I did this and I did that. All you need to do is remind people that she admitted to a federal felony and her sole success was pilfering millions of dollars from donors while she was in the state dept for her own enrichment. If she continues on her rant about what you were supposed to have said about women in the past...REMIND EVERYONE WHAT SHE SAID TO THOSE WHO PROTECTED HER while the bitch was in the white house.

EXACTLY! He is brilliant! SHE came across as the bully, her and that idiot Lester Holt. The entire debate was him getting beat up by both of them and not once did he lose his cool. The best part of that debate is when he asked her nice and calm “What have you done in the past 30 years?” *crickets* *crickets*. Right there he exposed her essence: She is a do nothing politician and that’s how he won the debate. The last debate he is going to expose her for the absolutely out of control crook she is, a crook who should be doing hard time in prison and nowhere NEAR anything having to do with politics especially the office of the President!

Trump has already said he is going to get tougher.
So either he is head faking, lying or you are wrong.

You are 100% correct Trump needs to be himself. I want a president that takes people to task and nails them. Tell the bitch he emailed his tax returns.

I want to see President Trump put people out of work. That's right. I'm talking about putting federal workers out of work! Pare down federal departments, streamline them or shut them down completely. Kill bad regulations and disband oversight of bad regulations. At the same time, build up our military and make them strong. Put people to work building supplies and equipment for our strengthened military.

There are too many meaningless environmental laws with resultant overreach of federal government. Knock down those laws, and disband the federal offices behind them. Put them to work restricting bad foreign products and unhealthy illegals from coming in.

President Trump - kill federal jobs! Reduce federal government. Get them off our necks so we can breathe again and prosper once again.

Yes, he will get tougher, but he is going to do so in a way that maintains his dignity.

You guys keep wanting him to attack Hillary like she is a man, but that isn't going to happen, that is what the Democrats want.

I blame his daughter (who I love) and Conway for him pulling back.

...snip...

Ivanka and Kelly should never have ruled that off the table! But when you get women involved...

Now here's someone who understands women! - as I duck behind the couch.

What you suggest is probably the only way he could blow it at this point.

Like Rocky did against Clubber Lang in the rematch in Rocky 3.
Right? I'm sure a scripted Rocky movie was his inspiration on the ways of the real world. < /sarcasm >

I cannot speak for others, but I don’t expect him to attack like a mad dog.

Trump is not bluffing, head faking or lying.
He will get tougher in the next two debates.

Yes, I expect his replies to be more pointed, but he has to appear Reagan like, affable.

I predict he's not going to unload at all.

He's being very, very shrewd about this. If he had brought a flamethrower to the debate and set Hillary on fire, he would have thrilled his supporters but it wouldn't have done anything to improve his odds of winning in November.

He knows that he can lock this election up if he gets one more group demographic group behind him: independent and Republican women. Everything he does from this point forward will be aimed at appealing to that particular group.

You can mark my words on that.

Trump had a look of calm amusement in the last few minutes of the debate.

It reminds me of a champion boxer reaching the end of the second round and having taken on the best their opponent had to offer : ‘Is that all you got, punk?’ Trump seemed to be saying.

The first debate was Trump probing, examining the enemy up close and personnel. He knows there is nothing to fear.

The Trump counter in the second debate is going to be some sight to behold

HILLARY CHEATED 5 WAYS - LOSER

Another cheat was by Lester Holt. He broke the moderator rules by having a mic. Rules were, no mic for the moderator. He was seen, and the proof is on the video feeds to news stations, testing the mic just before beginning the debate.

He was being fed marching instructions presumably by people working on Hillary's side, while interrupting Trump (part of your #4 moderator interruptions/lies).

You're absolutely right about that.

A debate/campaign strategy that meets the approval of FreeRepublic posters will never win a presidential election. We'd better come to grips with ourselves on that point.

I think it is great how all the pundits are second guessing Trump on the missed curve balls. By endlessly going over what he should have said, they are doing his work for him and he doesn’t come off as the bad guy attacking poor defenseless Hitlery.

I trust his judgement.

And the enemedia will do their worst the next day proclaiming that he lost.
Oh, and the moderators will help Illary.
Same old, same old. But the voters will notice.
