What you saw at the debate last night depends on who you are

I saw a titanium carbonitride coated endmill cutting through a piece of aluminum.

Literally.

Lincoln and Douglas didn’t need a bloody ‘moderator’. They just went at each other hammer and tongs.

Perhaps today’s politicians aren’t man enough to do that ...

1) All questions, agreed to in advance by both candidates, are shown on screens for all to see;

2) Coin toss winner at the beginning gets choice of going first or second, thereby setting up the coin toss loser to have the final (second) summation;

3) Red/Yellow/Green lights on each podium, wired to a timer that automatically shuts off the respective mic when time expires;

4) Any audience present is in a separate room/facility to eliminate both cheering (etc) and anything either candidate attempts to add after mic has been shut off.

5) Optionally, candidates may jointly agree to choose dueling pistols and/or swords at anytime during the debate.

I think we are seeing firsthand the unraveling of the facade.
The corrupt, the sell outs, the petty, the cowards, the self serving. Many of the PLAYAHS have been exposed for what they really are. Some we already suspected like the Bushes, Beck and some that were surprising like Mark Stein who went limp on us.
Anyhow, hillary doesn’t know it yet but she is obsolete.
The MSM is essentially obsolete.

I tend to agree. I thought Trump could have done a lot better and was surprised Hitlery did as well as she did.

>>But one thing I have learned by watching Trump is that he learns and he adapts his behavior.

I hope this is true. Maybe this will give her the false impression that she “got away with it” last night. I’d like to see her crumble in the next two debates, either under her own power or with Trump’s nudge. Or maybe he will just crush her. The latter would be fun to watch, but probably not the best tactic to win voters to his side.

>Get rid of moderators altogether and replace them with a modified chess clock timer.<

That is an incredible idea. And, you know the dems will never, ever agree. They only win by stacking the deck. We all know this.

It was wrong of me to blame Trump entirely, I watched re-runs of it and this Lester Holt was completely bias against Trump. Like Ann Coulter says, the whole debate focused on:

“Trump’s taxes, income, father, ‘72 lawsuit, remarks as a reality tv star...& didn’t waste any time on immigration.”

Absolutely right. NOTHING about illegals, NOTHING about the Clinton money laundering foundation, Benghazi, it was outrageous. It was Trump vs Hillary and Lester Holt.

This is a great article on this.

Rudy Guiliani is right, Trump should refuse to do another debate until non-partisan people are moderating.

I expect Clinton will appear at the next debate to be cocky and condescending, feign a lighthearted demeanor, including the sh*t-eating grin plastered on her puttied up face. She will underestimate Trump based on her own side's press releases. She will be in for a surprise, and by the end she will not be grinning.
