I would LOVE to debate Hillary Clinton, no prep needed and I would wipe the floor with her, seriously give me 5 minutes

[4Liberty]

Illegal immigration?? Open borders?? “Refugees”???

[Biggirl]

Are you sure about that?

Mr. Trump batted the ball out of the park.

[444Flyer]

He did say he would release his taxes if she released her emails. However, she should be put on the ropes for it!

[bgill]

Lester does nothing but prop her up.

[CityCenter]

Is it just me or is her face turning red?

[Pic7]

Hillary keeps smirking, squinting her eyes when Trump talks, Red is a turnoff on her.

Hillary was stupid to wear RED. HAAAAAA

[uncitizen]

You beat me to it.

[navymom1]

Still, people know he is not a polished politician. She is. He is exposing her nicely. She is the past and Trump is the future. He wins on that issue alone.

[Cboldt]

She is looking tired. She says “It is essential America’s word be good.” Our reputation in the world is shit.

[funfan]

Almost as bad as Janet Yellen yuck.

[Osage Orange]

You just got here....and you are building your jackass house already....

Excellent............

[plain talk]

Hillary Clinton VOTED For the war, gee I wonder why Les doesn't mention THAT fact

Well Trump spent a lot of time defending himself on his past positions on Iraq when he could have used that time to attack Hillary on the point you raise.

[DoughtyOne]

No she’s not.

LOL

[SpaceBar]

Hillary’s third arrow: the US will continue footing the bill for global security.

[SoFloFreeper]

Hillary is not winning this debate.

[CottonBall]

“This sounds like the primary debates. People insisting Trump terrible and he just kept going up in the polls:”

Exactly! He’ll gain points.

I think he did better than in any of the primaries.

[silent_jonny]

We're going into overtime. How much longer can you stand on those

uncomfortable

wobbly

heels,

Hillary.

[onyx]

FWIW, (IMHO) I think TRUMP is playing defense too much of the time, primarily because (I think) Lester has permitted her almost total control of the debate. Several times it seems like she has filibustered over 2 minutes.

[tennmountainman]

The questions were all slanted to democrat issues.

Where were the questions about the FBI report?
Bengazi, Hillary’s health?
