Trump did just fine. He made no blunders in this debate and his opponents couldn't lay a glove on him. He's winning this election.
For weeks leading up to this debate, many here were stressed out that the moderators and mainstream media would find a way to rattle Trump into making a blunder that would destroy his candidacy. That did not happen. That did not even come close to happening.
This is a man who survived a grueling primary campaign with 16 other candidates. Back in April, many doubters were telling us that he had "no path" to the nomination and that he was being outsmarted and outmaneuvered by Ted Cruz and the establishment Republicans who didn't want him. We heard about how he had no "ground game."
Then when he secured the necessary amount of delegates (1700+ actually), we endured weeks of these same doubters telling us that anti-Trump forces would conspire to keep him from getting nominated at the convention.
Than post-convention, we kept hearing from these same nervous wrecks that Trump was blowing the general election because he wasn't running TV ads while Shrillary spent over $200 million running ads against him.
Now Trump has moved into the lead nationally and by many measures and has multiple paths to the necessary 270 electoral votes falling into place.
After this debate performance, would not be surprised to see Trump gain an additional 3-5 points in the week ahead.
Yup. For a guy just recently into politics, running for THE top spot, beating his primary contenders solidly, now facing the DC-hardened pit-bull lawyer-biatch dyke from Hedes, I think he’s doing quite well. Could tighten up his positions some, imo.
Another good thing he has in common with Reagan - HE’S NOT A LAWYER!
I agree. Trump did fine and Hillary didn’t knock him off which means Trump wins. I also expect Trump to continue to move ahead going forward. The undecided are breaking for Trump big time and the base will turn out. Unless he kills a puppy on TV he should win.
Hilary Clinton is a weak, unlikeable candidate.
@4442 - point taken and thanks
I suspect many of us are so well versed in how scandalous she is and perhaps we had overly high expectations that more of it would come out.
He MUST bring up the Clinton foundation and ask why the media has little curiosity about it.
Ted Cruz said that Donald Trump had his strongest debate yet!
