Of course.
They attacked him for business bankruptcy - he should have mentioned Whitewater, where everyone but the Clintons ended up either in Federal Prison or the morgue.

When she mentioned the guy who was not paid or somesuch, he should have mentioned all of Bubba’s rape and sexual assault victims that were crucified by Hillary.

And since when is doubting Obama’s history ‘racism’? He was never vetted.

Release his tax returns? How about the emails, how about Hillary’s stock fraud?

Calling him dangerous? Who started the wars in Libya, Syria and this whole “Arab Spring” mess that led to the refugee crisis?

I expect Trump will turn up the heat on Shrill but measured in the next debate.

And the ‘stretch run’ is within the last 2 weeks increasing the heat on Hillary as he goes like operation Rolling Thunder.

Now that they have unloaded the past year of sht talk in this one debate, what else will Hillary have to speak about? Maybe Trump is waiting for a progressive thrashing of his own for the end

“I trust his judgement.”
I was proud of him, having seen so many Republicans go into helmet defilade and `apology mode’ when smeared, as Hillary tried to do last night.
But it was frustrating watching him `hold back’.
The next day reading the transcript I’m reminded that the Democrats controlled the debate agenda and topics.
Three seemingly innocuous topoi: Achieving prosperity; America’s direction; and securing America.

Starting out, Holt: “The Questions are mine and have not been shared with the commission or the candidates.” Sure Lester.
And before you know it, we have Clinton and Holt tag-teaming Trump on his racism for birtherism under the category national security: Obama’s eligibility, the topic originally raised by ....
Trump knows what he’s doing—as usual, playing against others using a stacked, marked deck.

I completely agree. He doesn`t view these debates in isolation, but part of a narrative he wants to communicate, with each debate having its own purpose. Hillary gave it her best shot and played her hand. Her game plan next debate will be the same as this debate, only she will probably be more desperate next time around. In.the mean time, Trump had an opportunity to see the best she has to offer.

You don’t need to duck when I’m around. Women have screwed up this nation since the 60s.

I tend to agree....
....his ‘ I respect Chelsea’ sounds like Ivanka

Well, Chelsea has responded and she doesn’t have the sense or decency to appreciate his missed opportunity.
So Mr. Trump.......have at it!

Yes!

Chelsea, failed med student, failed television personality, failed hedge fund manager, et al, doesn’t need the respect he affords to his gorgeous and successful daughter - child of a pretty stable upbringing. I smell Conway in this. I know everyone loves her - and she has brought very good things to this campaign - but I know women and Republican women believe playing nice in the politic sandbox. But Democrat women do not.

Yup, He should let the ads and his surrogates and pacs do the dirty work. He should keep his questions, answers and remarks clinical at the debates.

Sorry, I know exactly what I’m talking about. Look at the statistics: women are stupid as hell when it comes to the vote. Deal with it or help change it.

He can “unleash” in a businesslike, professional manner without going full “Megyn bleeding from her whatever” approach. Newt and Cruz (I hate Cruz) sure as hell know how to do it.

I don’t mean unleash in terms of demeanor.

I mean unleash on more effective count points when they present
themselves.

No argument. He did leave a lot on the table. I think he let The Beast use up all her ammo and talking points in the first debate. What else does she have left? We all hope he will use the other other dozen arrows in his quiver in the next two debate to take her out.

He should use a pin-point rifle approach with each shot a bullet point (no pun intended) a leading question or sharp response. He too often gets too wound up in the weeds and his message isn't clear. Newt is a genius at this.

You’re a woman after my own heart. It’s futile to deny biology. Evolution knows what it doing. And, to finish: Vive la difference!

Yes, he has to walk a tightrope; if he rips her apart like he could and drags up too much dirty stuff, the MSM will declare him an unstable bully who’s picking on Granny Clinton. Hard to actually “win” in that situation.

Now that I think of it Trump made an acidly sarcastic remark regrading how he should address Hillary. “I wouldn’t want to bully anyone” or something to that effect.

The Democrats have been painting Trump as an unhinged wild man, as a lunatic who should never come near the nuclear launch codes.

By presenting himself as calm and thoughtful, he reassures people that he is a safe choice for president.
