I agree. Trump was never out of the race. This is the false picture Ryan and the rest of the GOPe tried to project with their calls for withdrawing.

Hillary: Everything he said is absolutely false.

That pretty much sums up Hillary tonight.

She spews some scripted nonsense, adds in a few lies and simply says everything Donald said was false.

I think Trump set a trap for them in the first debate. He made them think he’d be easy to beat, tehn came out and trounced The Portly Pantsuit.

It’s incredible how fast they think they can erect the framework of a narrative that they want, and then it’s in effect.

It is so, because they say it is so.

I am not going to be dictated to by this sh*t government and its lap dog media any longer.

please pardon my language, this thing get me mad.

Actually Trump reminds me of Godzilla from the early classic, movies ... you know, the Japanese (and American) military hit him with everything they’ve got, and each time they think they got him, and each time the smoke clears he’s still coming, only angrier than before!!!

The lewd comment “scandal” caused twice as many people to tune in and watch Hillary get crushed at the “debate”. We can thank Romney, Ryan, and the Bushes for this. They inadvertently handed this election to Donald Trump. Skullduggery sometimes has unintended consequences. Trump would most likely not have gone after Hillary as aggressively without the “scandal”? This was a crushing defeat for the Clintons.

Hey, looser's at FAUX "news": TRUMP DIDN'T SAVE HIS CAMPAIGN BECAUSE, CONTRARY TO THE LYING MEME YOU HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO PUSH: TRUMP WAS NEVER "OUT OF THE RACE"!

All Hillary Clinton 's dragging up 11 year old off color words Trump spoke did was:

1) Flush out all of the traitorous, GOPE globalist, open borders, anti-American citizen, anti-Trump, RINO "republicans" like Ryan and McCain: Thanks, we and Trump will REMEMBER who they are and "take care of them" once Trump becomes POTUS.

2) Make Horn-dog RAPIST Bill's rapes, sexual harassment and never-ending adulteries and Hildabeast's ongoing cover-ups, sexual-preditor enabeling, physical threats and personal attacks against RAPIST Bill's numerous VICTIMS: FAIR GAME!

And all you anti-Trump neigh sayers witnessed first-hand how that turned out during the second debate: The pictures of RAPIST Bill's face and Fly-faced Hillary posted on DRUDGE were worth a thousand words and said it all.

You ain't seen nothing yet; just you wait for the devastation of truth Trump unleashes against Hillary in "ROUND THREE":

"Over target Hildabeast; 'FIRE FOR EFFECT'"... BOOM!

3) The most important thing of all that Hillary's stale attack, and the MSM's (including the luddite faux "journalists" at FAUX news) incessant piling on "Trump's campaign is over, he should quit the race" meme accomplished was to SUPER-ENERGIZE Mr. TRUMP'S base.

Thanks to all of you we are more fired up than ever to TOTALLY IGNORE YOU AND TO SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR HIM! ;o)

Only when it was brought up again and again did he finally go after Hillary and how she enabled Bill Clinton...and then Hillary laughably claimed she took the high road....

Exactly, that was painfully obvious to anyone watching. He was uncharacteristically subdued before she brought that up. And then she had the NERVE to say she was taking the high road after she had already trashed him.

“Trump would most likely not have gone after Hillary as aggressively without the scandal”

It’s funny, a freeper suggested yesterday that perhaps it was Trump himself that leaked the pussygate tape, knowing it would be an ‘ice breaker’ and make Clinton character issues fair game.

My initial thought was that it was a stretch to think the Trump campaign would bring such a thing down on themselves, but having seen how it turned the tables and allowed Trump to take off the gloves, I’m wondering....

Could he be that strategic a 3D chess player?

The first debate was 100% focused on whether Trump would be a decent gentleman and stay presidential, out of the gutter. He was totally stuck on the defensive - his hands were tied.

Hmmmm...

Yes he is but I don’t think Pat Caddell is supporting Hillary Clinton and Douglas E. Schoen has consistently supported her.
