Let’s see....

She’s kicking his a$$

Lester Holt is in the tank for Trump

Will any news site dare put a poll asking who won?

Trump was exhausted after 45 minutes

Britt Hume just said Hillary’s face was “not attractive” to television viewers

I expect Trump to duck out on the next 2 debates

(NOTE: This is from Democratic Underground, NOT ME!)

“no votes changed hands tonight. I’ll be surprised if this moves the needle..”

Totally agree. Trump may have picked up a few but nothing significant.

Nope....you are overlooking how the LIVs will see this.

Trump did NOT look "good" at all. As a matter of fact, he looked bad!Holt did what he was told to do and helped Hillary.

Trump did great. He stayed on message and that’s what he needs to do. Just keep calling her out.

Grow the hell up! You're "if you can't say something nice...etc" is the same kind of stupidity as "don't throw the first punch." Not much help if the first punch puts you out or kills you.

Am I supposed to find something Hillary did wrong so you feel like I'm being "fair?" Again, grow the hell up. Anything Hillary did tonite is chump change against what Trump did, and didn't do, tonight.

It helps nobody to give trophies for sub standard performance. Trump's lack of preparation showed big time. Hopefully, someone in his campaign will let him know rehashing his rallies is NOT how to win debates.

She made him look bad.

Internet polls are absolutely worthless for many reasons. Not only do they not represent multiple demographics. They are also incredibly easy to cheat.

It’s the first round of 3..

Clinton is on the record calling TPP a “gold standard” deal in 2012 when she was serving as secretary of state, and her phrasing back then did not match her claim tonight of “hoping” the deal would be worthy of support.

Quote Clinton said at an event in Australia in 2012.:

“This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field, ... “And when negotiated, this agreement will cover 40% of the world’s total trade and build in strong protections for workers and the environment.”

[I completely disagree that Trump was ‘bullying’.]

MIKE PENCE is on CBS News. He is emphasizing the personal attacks HILLARY keep trying to repeat. He was proud TRUMP kept his cool and acted PRESIDENTIAL.

A draw is basically a win.

Hillary won on points but Trump won on his larger message of change.

Considering he debated in a hostile environment, I would say he did what he needed to do.

The biased moderator, leading questions and constant interruptions from Holt notwithstanding.

10:42 PST hasn’t happened yet. Do you mean 10:42 EDT?

Yes of course you're right. The correct time shown on C-Span when I took the screen pics was 10:42 ET
