From what I saw, Trump didn’t knock it out of the park but he got a few RBI’s, maybe he didn’t need a slam dunk this point, But yeah, Trump had the edge. Her Heinous merely did what she does best, did a lot a of talking without saying anything.
Actally, it looks like Trump came off as presidential, much like Reagan did in 1980. See:
with this:
“Overall, Carter kept Reagan on the defensive, and the president probably won on points. However, Reagans affability and easy manner wore well against Carters stern lecturing. Reagan did not come off as the cartoonish, conservative cowboy of Democratic talking points. The Lowell Sun observed,
‘Ronald Reagan had not self-destructed. He had not made any ill-advised statements that were clearly foolish, as Carter had hoped. Reagan appeared calm under Carters attack. With his polished stage manner, he went a long way in presenting himself as presidential timber.’ Many Americans agreed. A Gallup poll two days before the debate showed Reagan trailing Carter 39% to 47%. A week later, Reagan won the election 51% to 41%.”
