Trump was in TROUBLE most of the night;

The independent voters who they gauged in real time during the debate seemed to strongly disagree with you.

They are the ones who needed convincing, and they are the ones who saw a slick, polished politician versus a real human being.

So the fact that Trump didn't seem to bring you much satisfaction or live up to your pie-in-the-sky criteria isn't particularly relevant to the undecideds and independents, who seemed to be reacting very positively to Trump at several key junctures.

For instance, when Hillary was playing the phony race card, she simply wasn't scoring points. Indeed, she was losing them.

Most undecided voters are sick and tired of slick politicians who tell everyone what they want to hear, and that was reflected int their reaction to Donald Trump.

So, quite frankly, you missed something if you think he did poorly. People are sick of "style", they want straight talk and substance.

You're just being a hysterical hand-wringer tonight, and the reactions from the voters that matter (undecideds & independents) bear that out.

Vote Trump!

Did YOU watch Reagan's first presidential debate? Were you even old enough to see it and remember it? REAGAN STUNK! And not only was I a Reagan supporter, I worked on his campaigns for president, so don't hand me back any crap/stupid name calling.

You have less than NO idea how the LIVs and undecideds saw this; you're just guessing.
