Drudge Poll
DONALD TRUMP 92.11% (15,076 votes)
HILLARY CLINTON 7.89% (1,291 votes)
I get the feeling that Trump was a little hesitant to attack her very hard because she’s female. I think there’s been so much yammering about the female vote that it may have caused him to hold his tongue when he could have said so much more.
It’s different at the rallies - she’s not there so he has no qualms about telling the truth about her. But to her face, I think he’s a little more cautious.
It was tee-d up beautifully, too.
I saw a real person debate a smiling politician.
-Just got a call from a GOPer opposed to Trump in primaries:Lester Holt is a (profanity) for his hammering of Trump vs kid gloves for Clinton-
I suspect this will help Trump a lot.
Holt was worse than Crowley. No questions on server, etc.
On NBC post-debate coverage, just before Nicolle Wallace segment, Hillary bent over for final handshake as Bill arrived to escort her offstage. A long cord was clearly visible down her entire back. Question: wiring or tubing?
Yes. I want to see the shrewd negotiator side of Trump in the next debate. I want to see the Trump that has the angles of the opposing team covered and he comes out with the winning deal.
Trump needs to focus more on his “two-minutes” and less on hers. I think he could shut down a lot of her points by just laying out a prepared answer on the broad topics the’ve been throwing out.
I saw a real person debate a smiling politician.
He did *FANTASTIC* talking how the African American community got shafted by the democrats, how our infrastructure sucks, how ISIS is eating our lunch in cyberspace, how violent felons are allowed to carry guns in the inner cities; and playing up his support from the boots-on-the-ground immigration officials, from 80+ generals and Admirals.
It's all good.
He's making an unprecedented attack into her strongholds.
God, I hope this is a rope-a-dope on Trump’s part...
But I also remember when we used to say, here, “Rove, you magnificent ba$*ard”. Turns out he wasn’t that magnificent.
At one point tonight, Trump was making me cringe. I looked to my wife and said, “he sounds like a used car salesman”.
I know that that is part of his schtick, but I don’t know that it will play well all the way to November.
Honestly, I’m still holding out for Hillary health events. It is what I was counting on tonight. There were signs, but she held it together “enough” to keep us from calling it an indictment of her health. We really needed a stumble, coughing fit, spastic head, etc. We got none of that.
Why didn’t he bring them up?
“Out of all of this, Lester Holt needs to be called out for arguing with Trump about facts that are disputed, and taking a side.”
Holt earned his own Candy Crowley prize.
Uh, yeah. That debate was choreographed by NBC News, the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign. Lester Holt ended up being Candy Crowley, but you know what folks say what you want about Trump leaving unscored points on the floor, but when it came to dealing with Holt, I think he put him in his place, and didn’t roll over like Romney. I give him credit for fighting back. I have to admit I think Trump needs to study up a little bit better for the next debates, and make no mistake I bet you his kids, behind closed doors, are letting him have it for not hammering away enough on Hillary. That won’t happen in the next two debates. I’m sure Ivanka will make sure her father won’t leave any hanging curveballs like tonight in the next two brawls with Hillary.
Did you take a screen shot of it?
DJT missed out on her emails, and the deaths in Bengahzi, clinton foundation
Illery *won* on the being the most SMUG. Hands down.
+1
Its a draw.
Hillary didn’t accomplish what she needed to do tonight - KO Trump or get him to melt down.
Trump held his own in the face of a biased liberal MSM moderator playing tag-team with Hillary.
The rest of the debates won’t matter: Trump will be our next President.
Jerusalem = Jerks (no Israel slander intended.)
Don't go away angry...just go away.
