“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.

Clinton Foundation - no mention
Benghazi - no mention
e-mail - passing mention

She’s a crook and a traitor and she’s getting away with it

The fact is, Trump was not prepared for this debate. He is basically winging it, and it shows.

I think that's true. I trust him to improve for the next debate. But he could have performed better tonight.

MSM will fawn over her for days.

Rush will talk about him missing and being on the defensive.

Hopefully the debate changes no one’s vote and Trump is beating her soundly.

I don’t buy that there are many who haven’t made up their minds.

Why did he not pound her on the Clinton Foundation?

Also why do republicans agree to the moderators?

You must be re-watching the Romney-Obama debate by mistake.

Trump is informed; he is showing vision, passion, and command of facts; he is not going personal and negative.

Hillary is looking like a smirking c*nt, given softball questions and losing anyway, and being forced to openly call on the Moderator for help.

Note the number of times she refers to "fact checkers" : this was a meme pushed out the New York Slimes, the Washington Post, and others, over the weekend, explicitly in preparation for the gotcha questions Lester Holt had teed up for Trump.

Let us all vote for Hillary then.

With all due respect, that's a juvenile response.

First, I suggested nothing of the sort.

Second, Trump has, in fact, missed some opportunities.

Third, in the real world, Trump is not beyond criticism.

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.

You live in a dream world if you think Trump comes off as an articulate speaker to Joe Six Pack. He just rambles in superlatives about something being a good deal. Don’t bother replying to me. I won’t bother reading it.

How did the deal put a lid on Iran’s nuclear program?

The deal gave us access to facilities we never had before?

I thought the deal was that Iran self-inspects and that we only get access with a 2-week notice.

Well simple question. What is you motivation? Are you really interested in the facts or did you just come her out of a unresolved case of political sour grapes looking to finally vent your repressed spleen?

Be different if any of the butt hurt ones on this thread had made a rational case of their views tonight rather then just scream infantile insults at Trump or mindless worship of Hillary.
