“escrot” should be “escort”

i’m a nut. I can’t watch the next two.

I haven’t been this nervous since my last boxing match 23 years ago.

CANT watch the next two, sorry folks.

My fat heart will give.

No, he was trouncing her the first 30 minutes. But I agree the tax issue and the birther issue threw him off. He ended well.

There are no independents. If one was in the audience or watches it, then they care enough to have already made up their mind. No one was swayed or lost tonight.

No such thing exists, Clinton Crime Syndicate has complete control over this NON issue.

It was being covered by all the media following the debate. HILLARY was no where to be seen. They were following TRUMP around like a puppy dog.

I get the sense Trump is thinking too fast to connect the dots in speech. Not just in the debate, but in general. He represents the rest of us who are breathless after 8 years of Obama.

No one cares about birtherism except beltway people. It’s a waste of time. Talk about college costs. Anything else. It won’t move people to vote one way or another.

If there was a wire, I hope Trump saw this and will mention it.

I think Trump was placed on defense, but I thought he was unaffected by it and that he was convincing, handling it very well.

Hillary chose to try to smile her way to victory, but she can not lose that obnoxious sound of the cranky librarian, or as they say, “every man’s ex-wife”.

She knew the questions and was reading the answers as she spoke. A blind man could see it. Holt let her ramble on and never interrupted her. Holt never asked one question about the Clinton Foundation or emails. Trump was pissed that she was treated with kid clothes. The smirk on her face and the way she brought up the lies about what Trump has “said” about women should show anyone how low this bitch will go and be allowed to. It’ll be the same with lefty Chris Wallace and Martha Radisch. Trump should have brought up emails more than he did and definitely the Clinton Foundation but he just forgot. You can bet he won’t forget the next time.

Trump's never going to get coastal elites. He stayed on mssg for Rust Belt and blue collar workers. NAFTA, outsider vs HRC in DC too long.

A couple more fair points by the dweeb: Frank Luntz ‏@FrankLuntz 1h1 hour ago Trump knows how to setup a solid point, but can't close it with a convincing solution. #DebateNight Frank Luntz ‏@FrankLuntz 1h1 hour ago Hillary Clinton has had the best debate training I've seen in years... She knows when to attack and when to explain. #DebateNight

This is the correct spin. We need a count of how many times Holt interrupted Trump compared to her. It allowed Hillary to appear poised and Trump to appear defensive. That said, I still find the debate a draw and think with a little film study he will cream her in the next two debates.

I honestly think a mock debate is mandatory practice for him. He was caught responding defensively. Hillary found his Achilles heel. Hurt what he is proud of achieving and he will drop everything to defend himself. I love him. I understand why it happened. Hillary is evil and that is not hyperbole. She tricked him.

How dare she ask whom he owes before he becomes president. Of all people????

I agree with most of your points Laz except there are some points he needs to repeat more often. On the Iran deal it is good if he can say “billions of our money going to an enemy terrorist regime who are now even closer to nuclear weapons.” He has to say it emphatically and slowly and repeat it. He has to repeat that Hillary has zero standing on cyber security issues when lower personnel have gone to prison for what she did with classified information.

He got the Iranian deal mentioned two times, that was enough. He did well there.

Your comment about cyber security was one of the slow pitches that Trump missed, that would have been brilliant.

Yes, although Trump did a fine job for a first time Presidential debate, he missed a lot of opportunities discredit her "facts" to throw her off. He was on the defensive way too much, and I hope his facial expressions when she was talking won't be a problem.

Some friends of ours who vote Republican (and do plan to vote for Trump), but aren't political junkies like us, texted to me: "Trump is disappointing."

Lester Holt: True Blue NBC. He constantly "fact checked" Trump, but left Hillary alone. Disgusting!
