Bullet proof vest? Trump has been in one for months, reportedly, but these are things not talked about.

Newt said when Trump passed on hitting Hillary after she had just savaged him because he saw Chelsea in the audience was the most important moment of the debate.

-- Why would they use such an obvious wire? --

Two technical reasons, maybe three. Reception range; ability to "scramble" the signal; and battery life. The miniature units have a definite range limitation.

So, I’m asking all of you if you know how to get this information about advertising on the Lifetime channel and the ID channel through to the Trump campaign...as this will enable the Trump campaign -— to Offset the conniving hillary campaign ads that are currently running!! (or if any of you know someone who can relay this information to someone at the Trump campaign)-per Mr. Apple.****************************************

I posted earlier about Mr. Apple wanting tweeters to get in touch with the Trump campaign on his suggestion. I made a mistake on posting the ID channel and I need to make this correction.

I’m no troll, I expected more facts and more preparation from Trump. He missed so many opportunities to strongly counter her rehearsed BS. She blamed Wall Street for the 2008 financial crisis - and he said nothing about govt role in forcing banks to give loans to people with no collateral, or even jobs. Citi was threatened by a law suit by Barney Franks and his goons if they tightened loan requirements...

She made it sound like Obambi and her made a great deal to contain Iran’s nuclear weapons plan. He could have mentioned a few of the details of the deal that were a joke. We have to give them, something like 60 days notice before an inspection and no inspectors can be from the US.

She hinted that Trump doesn’t give as much to charity as he wants us to believe. My God, was he asleep or something. The door was opened to attack the Clinton Foundation, giving less than 9 % to charities, the lavish salaries to friends on the board, millions spent on travel and 5-star hotels. Then all the instances of large donations and speaking fees soon repaid with favors, the rape of Hiati. etc.

I’m not expecting a polished politician, but I am expecting someone who can point out that she’s a liar, not trusted by a large majority of the people. I expect someone to not let her continue to lie and not be called on it.

Hopefully she appeared to slick, rehearsed and mean-spirited, but overall if Trump supporters were not a little disappointed by his performance, they are deluding themselves.

At 10:42 PST after the debate, Hillary is leaning forward and you can clearly see a cord ringing down her back and what seems to be a power supply on her lower back! ____________________________________ Wow...What channel were you watching!

Reality check... Look at the closeup front photos of both Trump and Clinton and you will see that they both have lapel microphones, which usually have a wire running to a transmitter pack. Don't read too much into a wire running down her back to some type of pack on her back. It's probably just the lapel mic paraphernalia.

Having worked with setting up events like this It is most likely the transmitter to a lavaliere Mic

Sometimes you do that when you know the speakers will be looking away from the lecture mic when talking. Then mix it in the sound room.

Every direct question from Holt is to Trump. None to Hillary. She only responds to Trump’s comments.

Complete bias from Holt.


Absolutely!

There is a square box attached to the wire at her waistline also!!!!

And again, why would they use such a large power supply/receiver/whatever. These people have access to the best tech people in the world and the best they can do are two obvious items.

Maybe it's a psych job.

What I want to know is why each side of the debate shouldn't be able to check the debaters just before they go out. Also, why are there not cameras facing the audience that can show the top of the podium?

Trump’s a big picture guy. He’s never going to be countering with details, just not who he is. But his big picture, dreamer side is why he’s so successful.
