However, I DO feel compelled to say that the headline should take the clear lead in this young century's Astounding Grasp of the Obvious Award.
But one thing I have learned by watching Trump is that he learns and he adapts his behavior. This was his first-ever one-on-one debate, a very different animal than the nominating contest. I think he tended to revert to form last night. But he and his brilliant staff will analyze the performance, and I expect he will learn.
Get rid of moderators altogether and replace them with a modified chess clock timer.
Not only do liberal moderators jump in to act as a second debater against the conservative, but it’s inherently biased to let a liberal supposed “journalist” pose the questions in the first place. Not a single question was posed on Hilllary’s illegal email server, or immigration, or the billions unaccounted for at the Clinton Foundation.
Let the debaters bring their own questions for the other. Begin with a coin toss. 1 minute question, then 3 minute answer, then 2 minute rebuttal, 1 minute counter-rebuttal, 30 second summery/final rebuttal. (These times are merely suggestions, but you get the idea. The mic will switch on and off on a set schedule, known and agreed upon by both debaters.)
The microphone goes hot and cold on this schedule. A soft chime alerts the speaker with the hot mic when they have 10 seconds left in any stage segment, and large countdown clocks will be visible to both sides showing who has the hot mic and their time remaining.
At the end of each 7 or 8 minute stage, provide a minute for a water break or note jotting while the clock resets. The next debater can then use his or her new 1 minute question period to revisit the previous topic, and run the stage again on that topic, or, they can switch to an entirely new topic with a fresh question.
Repeat the process, alternating sides, until both are exhausted and agree to quit, or until an agreed-upon time limit is reached.
Just get rid of 3rd wheel moderators, their interference, and their built-in bias.
What debate?
The big mistake Trump made last night was accepting the premise of the questions from Holt and Hillary’s statements about him. It put him on the defensive. Every single one of those could have been blocked and then turned right around on Clinton. If he learns to do that the next debate is his.
If debates ever mattered, they matter far less now. The perception that she won doesn’t alter the landscape. The lack of a gaffe or outrageous statement from Trump didn’t give the media anything to pound on for a week. The reaction from the leftist media (Chris Matthews aside) doesn’t seem all that jubilant because she didn’t much more than they expected. She recited her talking points. She was the politician on the stage, and that hurts as much as it helps.
I have no doubt Mrs. Clinton was provided the questions beforehand and was reading answers from note cards. It is a complete sh!t show put on by the media and the globalists.
Perhaps watched about 2/3, and had enough...
but it seemed like Canky still has eye issues. I noted that she could gaze to the right easily and often. But, I didn’t see a single time she gazed to the left. On the occasions she looked at Trump, she always turned her head so that her pupils were aimed forward.
I suspect she knows and her handlers know that any left gazing will cause her left pupil to turn right when the right turns left.
The author was wrong in the description as Mr. Trump pointed out,it is an ILLEGAL PRIVATE SERVER SCANDAL NOT AN EMAIL SCANDAL
NO Question on Hillary calling millions of American voters,deplorable,racists,homophobes,sexists,xenophobes,irredeemable?
I did not watch last night - Hillary makes me wretch. What did the undecided voters see?
Trump will be better at debate #2 and Hillary will be the same. Rinse and repeat for debate #3. If she can’t knock him off he’s the next President. She can’t.
If you were for illary you still are today. If you were for Trump or were on the fence you are for Trump today.
Most Snap polls show Trump winning debate in a landslide!

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