Debate: Media in desperate frenzy to sell the idea of 'Hillary's big win'
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/27/16 | Robert Laurie

Pssst! It didn't happen.

If you’ve tuned into any of the big news outlets this morning, you’ve no doubt heard some talking head yakking about “Hillary’s big win.” If all you heard were the mainstream reviews, you’d think Clinton crushed her opponent in one of debate history’s most epic beat downs. They’ve basically gone wall-to-wall with tales of their queen’s decisive victory over an unprepared dullard.

The thing is; if she really did that well, they wouldn’t need to be work so hard to sell you on it.

Scott Adams said that Trump won by not winning, by maintaining control despite the attacks, not taking the most aggressive attacks (mean image) and dispelling the image that he’s Hitler incarnate to 20-30 million who had otherwise written him off as such.

The Ministry of Propaganda has to be her campaign, she’s going to be resting up for the next week.

It is not a ‘big win’ for Hillary, but Trump should have done better. He was disappointing because he was not aggressive enough. Typical Republican shyness.

An objective conclusion is Trump did not do his best.

He failed to take several opportunities to pursue her problems.

I think his strategy is to improve in the 2nd and 3rd debates. I hope.

Gee, if you call slithering away to fight another day a “win”, then that’s pretty telling.

She just spewed lies and non-sequiturs for the second half of the debate.

It didn’t happen! Most Snap polls show Trump winning debate in a landslide!

The fix with the media was in before the debate started. Joe Scarborough admitted it yesterday, that the post debate talking points were in before the debate even started, and that this was a “first”. I don’t think Trump did the best he could, but I thought he did well enough and will learn to be even better next time :)

I think his strategy was to appear calm and relatively unthreatening in the first debate and then keep turning up the heat on his issues in the next debates.

Slow boiling of the frog, so to speak.

‘The thing is; if she really did that well, they wouldn’t need to be work so hard to sell you on it.’

Summed up nicely. Its no diff when the MSM goes on and on about how Hill/Barry are the smartest in the room. If its not obvious then it manufactured.

An argument Hillary won on forensic pointing can be made, but it wasn’t any sort of massive win... And it doesn’t matter.

Trump won the election last night... Winning the debate points didn’t matter.

Just come out looking reasonable, which he did in spades, and a whole lot of folks on the fence about whether they could vote for him or not, just decided they could.

Right. The president doesn’t get called at 3am to win a debate on points.

She was a technocratic robot.

He was a real, caring person.

Victory Trump.

Just an anecdotal observation.....I have several rabid Hillary! supporter ‘friends’ on Facebook. Not one of them has posted anything about the debate, nothing about how intelligent or fabulous she was last night. She may have been put on a pedestal by big Media last night and today, but her ‘average’ American supporters aren’t much promoting her appearance.

I just read a report that Hillary received the debate questions weeks ago. Well, that would be cheating. If she cheated, she can’t be a winner. Remember poor Bernie Sanders, emails confirmed the DNC and Hillary cheated to prevent Bernie from winning. If Hillary cheats on debates, no way can she be a winner.
Follow Hillary’s advise and Fact Check the report that she received questions before the debate.

OMG!

I was just seeing (accidentally, of course) CNN and they had a big scroll along the bottom about “HilLIARy’s Zinger- Prepared for Presidency”

HA HA HA HA HAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!!!!!

These people act like we don’t have internet and we believe whatever they shovel still...

The fact that they are trying to hard to ‘sell’ her win means she lost.

LOL! Nobody listens to Hillary's Media SuperPACs any more.

The Pantsuit Posse is all washed up. The Internet rules. :)

And I do believe that Scott Adams understands the electorate better than the pundits do

Roger Stone wrote that perhaps Trump didn’t go after Hillary on her emails, etc. because he was trying to win over the undecideds by not appearing mean.
