You butthurt Cruzlim, Trump buried Cruz in every single debate.
How dare you call the rest of us idiots for choosing Trump? You're out of line.
Did he win? No, the second half was Hillary's. But debates are only part of the battle. And she came across as an arrogant elite political insider.
Trump lost his cool a bit.
But then Joe Sixpack would have as well.
And yes I'm pro-Trump all the way.
You and I know that, but when idiots believe her, it can be a draw.

Not with the huge numbers suggesting most Americans are deeply suspicious of the MSM. And this is a change election.
After about an hour she started to look very tired to me but seemed to recover somewhat. I wondered if she actually had some kind of pump kicking in with some extra meds. I was surprised that she was able to get through the whole thing. I do believe that was the real Hillary and not the doppelganger.
If you think Hillary won when she called everyone a racist, then you're just mental.
He missed some massive opportunities...most notably on blacks doing worse under this administration and an ABSOLUTE SOFTBALL on Cyber Security.
He shouldn’t have said he agreed with her 5 or 6 times. That’ll go right into a montage into a Hillary campaign ad tomorrow, as it has before when that happens in debates.
I think Trump had a lot of good, strong points, especially when it came to explaining how he’s a change from the last 30 years. Hillary was actually just as vague on specifics about her policies as people would accuse Trump of being. Just a lot of vague talk about coalition-building and government programs, the same old Democrat boilerplate, which only underlines Trump’s message of change.
But in terms of skill and polish, Trump looked uncomfortable being there and wasn’t as focused in all his answers. He also didn’t seem to have prepared nearly as many specific attacks on Hillary as she did on him. And he too often went into explicit detail defending himself instead of giving a quick line and pivoting back to attack Hillary on something.
He performed as you would expect for someone who had never done a one-on-one debate. First-time jitters were showing. I remember how calm and relaxed he looked in some answers in the earlier debates and that’s what he needed to do here to get a bump in the polls. Now I see his momentum being blunted in the polls, as he looks to the next debate to hopefully give a more solid performance, the way Obama improved in his 2nd and 3rd debates with Romney.
What’s up with the Drudge Poll? Trump winning big but no updates in nearly an hour.
You’re right and that’s not saying much.
Trump did not live up to his own abilities and personality.
He was too soft, gentle, and nice to a career criminal politician who, with her husband, made their fortunes criminally, dishonestly, and harmfully to the poor. Perhaps he was advised to use kid gloves because people don’t want to see him beat up on an old grandma, even if she is a crook.
But compared to Hillary, he did fine. She is a lying, hateful weasel.
Both were preaching to the choir. Not much said is going to change anyone’s mind. Of course the spin doctors will be throwing everything they’ve got at Trump.
But her and the leftwing media’s lies have failed to stick to Trump.
I think Trump played it safe because he is pulling ahead.
Hillary lashed out repeatedly. She trained for days on how to make these nasty, dishonest attacks, knowing the media will NEVER treat Trump honestly or fairly.
I expect Trump to keep going up. We shall see.
In my opinion, she won big. I expected him to appear much more thoughtful and controlled. His reference to Rosie O’Donnell was foolish. I stopped watching before it was over as I would when my favorite football team is too far behind to come back.
He let her get away with lie after lie. Should have nailed her on Benghazi. Hostile audience.
When do you get your check from Soros in the mail?

Lets Freep this poll. It’s 51 Hilda and 49 Trump right now!
It’s difficult for a man to debate a woman. He can’t come across as tough as he feels.
Also we were watching a former senator and sec’y of state, someone constantly on camera and used to presenting her lies very smoothly.
And we were also watching outrageous media bias.
My general impression.
Trump has MUCH better policies. That’s what I hope people take away.
Trump should have pointed out that the whole recovery nonsense in the beginning (new jobs and such) was just that...nonsense.
Except Cruz couldn’t win anywhere enough votes to represent the party at the debates, so it’s a moot point isn’t it.
