I just watched the debate on replay. Trump won bigly. This one wasnt close. And keep in mind that I called Clinton the winner of the first debate, and I now endorse Gary Johnson, primarily to avoid being called an alleged enabler of alleged sex abusers and their alleged enablers. That basket of deplorables includes both Bill and Hillary Clinton (the alleged doer and the alleged cleaner-upper) plus Trump and his alleged misdeeds.
Some quick reactions
1. When the Access Hollywood tape came up, Trump dismissed it as locker room banter that he regrets. You expected that part. The persuasion move was that he quickly contrasted that small issue with images of ISIS beheadings, and cage-drownings. It was a high ground maneuver, a powerful visual anchor (like the Rosie ODonnell move from his first primary debate), and a contrast play. In this framing, Trump cares about saving your life while Clinton cares about your choice of words. I realize the issue is Trumps alleged deeds, not his words. But in terms of debate persuasion, Trump nailed it hard.
2. Clintons body language was defensive. Trump is physically larger and prowled the stage. He won the optics. It only got worse when a fly landed on Clintons face

The guy will be voting for Trump in the privacy of the voting both—Johnson will get at most half of his polling numbers on election day—count on it—because...
This wild campaign still has almost a month to go—and Hillary has yet to pull out the worst in her bag of dirty tricks!
I think we need to start being nice to flies...that one fly stepped up last night!
Was it just me or did Martha Raddatz try to get TRUMP to go 1st for that last question on What you admire about your opponent but Hillary insisted on going 1st
Seth Brundle, expert on insect politics, has given his hearty endorsement to Hillary!
“Hillary looked like a short fat waddling PENGUIN!”
Precisely what DH said when he walked into the room when the debate was going on. She makes Danny DeVito look attractive, actually.
“Well flies are drawn to shite.”
There’s a strong connection between the presence of flies and the presence of demons. Really.
Yep - how would D-Day have turned out if we hadn't feinted and fooled the enemy? Why did the Brits have a lot of "cardboard airfields"? Telegraphing your actions (vs. coordinating with allies) to the world is a sure way to make the mission a failure.
More like the Ambassador from Rigel 7!
My first thought.
You see? Flies are smarter than Democrats. Flies know when something is putrid or a POS.
LOL!!!!
I am appalled that Trump rates women on a scale of 0-10. Clearly he needs to rethink this, Hillary is definitely in negative figures, maybe -10.
Well hello Salamander! Haven’t seen you âround these parts in a while. How’s things mademoiselle? Fall coming down your way? The trees are starting to turn here on The Jersey Shore. This is my favorite time of year. As I said, it’s natural the flies would find Hillary. The old slag is a walking corpse.
