'Morning Joe' co-host Mika Brzezinski reacts to the first presidential debate Monday night at Hofstra University.
"I think, probably, we all think Hillary won," Brzezinski said in the 6 a.m. hour Tuesday. "But my blood pressure kept going up throughout the whole thing I could not stop watching until the very end because there was something that was telling me hes going to do quite well out of this, and I cant quite put my finger on it. He was not as bad as you would expect him to be."
"I think he said things that touch on not just what primary voters think, but what people are thinking on a number of levels. I just wouldn't be surprised if he came out doing better in the polls after this," she said. "And she was not as great as she could have been."

It’s simple. We don’t need a policy wonk or someone that is good at memorizing talking points. We need a leader.
You HIT the NAIL on the HEAD.
Trump appeared human, he did not “respond in kind” to Hillary’s guttersnipe personal attacks (although everybody knows exactly what he COULD have said about her and Slick), and he was clearly “sandbagged by a coordinated attack from the moderator and Hitlary.
It was clear who was “the mean one” and it wasn’t Trump.
Hitlary may have won the battle last night but lost the war.
Her slick glibness must have had Americans rolling their eyes in disgust. Trump may have stumbled during the double-team, but he was genuine and seemed to genuinely CARE.
The smug, smarmy “Ice Queen” did not.
It was the starkest contrast between the dismissive, arrogant “politics as usual” and it alternative.
I’m thinking that the American People are willing to try somthing different this time. Hitlary confirmed once and for all last night that she has NOTHING - ZERO - new to offer...
so the signs are on roads and corners etc?
That doesn’t mean anything. those are signs put out by candidates and volunteers/paid workers.
What about actual signs in people yards?
What about bumper stickers?
He means all the people in the LSM, who are in the tank for Hillary anyway.
How can a person who is so snotty and nasty win a debate?
That and the $800,000,000,000 trade deficit EVERY YEAR. If Ford can build an ultra-modern car plant for $3 Billion, imagine what United States could do with $800 Billion EVERY YEAR.
Career politicians can not change this because 99% of them are in pockets of their Wall Street donors. The vast but shrinking middle class has no representation. Like you said, Trump is one in a Trillion.

In the election, why are people voting for Trump? To make America great again. Why are people voting for Hillary? Lots of little reasons but no grand idea.

Because she was a US Senator, and they practice giving speeches every day. While Trump was busy building real things and employing real people in main street economy.
All this and more the media nor the politicians ever mention.
Trump destroyed Hillary in the debate.
Undecideds going 3:1 for Trump after the debate
What Trump mentioned in the debate is just the tip of the Iceberg of what Trump knows and I just posted some the things below he said in the debate in my own words. Theres much more in his book link below .
Trump is the only one that understands ALL of these things: How the Political Federal Reserve will crash the stock Market when they raise interest rates they have kept near zero for years to help Obama, China currency devaluation, How NAFTA TPP and gov regulations are sending our companies to other countries as he said last night, and many more things only Trump understands . Trump is one in a trillion.

Very good post.
China steals $500 billion from the USA every year alone , just China as that is the trade deficit.
99% of Americans don’t have a clue about any of this as the media hides it all.
Trump trounced the old communist Hillary who looked like a deer in the headlights for the first 45 minutes as Trump talked trade jobs NAFTA and how to bring back U.S. companies . read his book.

I think Bob Dylan will be voting Trump this round too.

The libs I know in Austin were all in for Bernie or Johnson. I don’t know of them that were for Hillary. Austin is still very healthily conservative and libertarian towards the conservative side from my experience there.
(We ought to meet up next time I’m in town on a business trip.)
Thats all America needs to know.
I have NEVER heard it said better!
she can’t get it until after november 8. go back to sleep nika or screw your co-host until after nov 8.
Mika is right. By academic debate scoring standards, Hillary made all of her points and Trump missed (or waived) many opportunities to make more of his own. But elections are judged by voters, and Trump connected with them.
