Those who watched this debate and paid attention saw the major reason this election belongs to Trump and this debate belongs to Trump
He is REAL. He speaks from the heart, he speaks from experience, and he speaks with conviction.
1. Trump On Business: Trump won that hands down. Clinton was clearly rattled.
2. Trump on Security: Trump devastating blow about Clinton's cheating Bernie Sanders. She knew it struck to the heart of her democrat voters.
3. Trump on International Affairs: Trump Blew Her Out of the Water. Don't listen to the pundits. Trump's point that any 'friend' should pay their own way was remarkable. His insight into the poverty of the Iran deal was from a man who knew a hostage payment and a buy-off when he saw one. He knew it was a lousy deal.
4. Trump on the Iraq War. He fought BOTH the Moderator and the other Candidate and he took them down. His maybe to Howard Stern was 6 months before the invasion. His conversation with Hannity was regular, and before the war, and Trump forced them to back down.
Harpy was a list of cliche’s looking for a thought.
Pray America wake
She was as polished as expected, lied as much as expected, and sprayed glitter and unicorn Skittles around talking about energy and jobs and equality and so forth.
He needed to respond directly to every lie and he didn't. This was a huge missed opportunity because we can't guarantee that new people tuning in will come back for Round 2, which hopefully he is prepared for.
that's it.
Trump should have said in the opening of the debate when there were 100 million Americans watching:
Trump : “Hillary is a communist = socialist” . The media are communists too. This is why the media hide how Venezuela is collapsing under socialism as all the other countries did under socialism. the choice is Trump = freedom and capitalism or Hillary = communism / socialism.
this is what the media hides. Make your choice”
Many will be disappointed/fretting because he didn't say a few things that seemed obvious to many viewers but he also didn't allow them to set him off.
I disagree with the pundits who say that he should have said this or that.
He kept some serious explosives in his arsenal.
There are 2 more debaters.
A good general doesn’t use all his ammo on the initial encounter.
True - he saved some ammo but when she tried to go after him for hiding things by not publishing his tax returns, he should have used his bit about her emails to ask her who’s really trying to hide stuff. I thought he could have leveraged some of his points a bit more effectively.
Or as Dr. Savage called him today, Lester Dolt.
