Ted Cruz said that Donald Trump had his strongest debate yet!

But he answered it. The current mayor was responsible for stopping the practice. Holt said it was deemed unconstitutional but Trump corrected him.

Maybe for the next debate we should pick a back up thread to move to when the trolls and the naysayers get going. In the primaries I don’t think I remember too many Trump supporters bashing Trump nonstop. Not like tonight.

Just watching the recap with Megyn Kelly on FNC. Showed Lester Holt asking Trump if the public's right to know about Trump's taxes is more important than Trump's right to withhold his taxes.

Where was this question in 2008 with Obama hiding behind Hawaii's personal data privacy laws to refuse releasing his birth certificate?

Didn't the public have a right to know in 2008 too, but the MSM just wasn't interested?

Hillary has done the best she’ll ever do in a debate.

And Trump is not in the habit of repeating a mistake.

Duck and cover, Mrs. BJ, duck and cover.

Because it sure isn't working for *you*, Gríma.

It's truly ashamed that someone who has been FReeping as long as you can't tell the difference between analysis and cheerleading.

Yeah, I do agree with you there: DT could have slammed the "status quo" by pointing out what's happening with employment in black communities, what's happened to the black family, and why.

If he really wanted to hit her, conclude with: "Mrs. Clinton, you can try to slither away all you want, but the facts are, black employment, and black families, have been destroyed, not just by the circumstances of 2008, but over the last few decades, by the policies of people like you, who have been in power, and use blacks to further your ambitions."

I also wish DT had responded to Hillary about the real causes of the recession of 2008, a subject about which he surely knows 10x more than Hillary. (She tried to blame it on Reagan's & Bush's tax cuts!)

IMO Hillary did nothing tonight to stop Trump’s march forward.

Asian stock markets shot up when it appeared that Hillary wouldn’t faint or seize up. Nikkei came back from the dead. These financial markets are saying Hillary improved her position.

I don’t see it as a “bad” performance at all. He has the deck stacked against him, and he held his ground. He did not provide any major gaffe, nor a useful soundbite that can be used against him.

Clinton needed a knockout win to stop her obvious slide to oblivion. That did not happen, no matter how hard the MSM tries to portray it as such.

I think he could have done better, but could have done much worse.

Yes, me too and the people calling me that and other stupid names, were NOWHERE to be seen when I was out there, all over this site, fighting FOR Trump!

They were NEVER on our Trump Rally Threads!

They were NEVER debating those who supported other candidates, and calling me, ME, a "Globalist" is one of THE funniest things I've EVER seen! ;^)

You must be a New Yorker, oh how I miss the humor.

The problem with this election is the candidates have no humor. But I'll take a (R) NYer over a stuck up bully from Chitown everyday. Chicago is the breeding ground for powerlusters.

I saw the cord too, during NBC post-debate coverage, just before Nicolle Wallace’s segment. Hillary finished shaking hands with people at the base of the stage, and Bill arrived to escort her back to center stage. The cord was plainly visible under her suit and extended down her whole back.
