Who won the first presidential debate Monday night between Democratic presidential nominee and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Republican nominee, businessman Donald Trump, at Hofstra University?
This was the first for three debates the two candidates will take part in before the Nov. 8 general election. With the race running so close in key battleground states like Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, both candidates needed to dominate and score points with undecided voters in the 90-minute performance at Hofstra University on Long Island.
Two national polls released just hours before Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met in their first presidential debate placed the race for the White House in a virtual dead heat.
Clinton led Trump, 47 percent to 46 percent, in a Quinnipiac University poll and the two candidates were tied at 46 percent in a Bloomberg Politics survey.
A McClatchy/Marist poll last week showed, 69 percent of Trump supporters said they strongly supported the Republican nominee, compared with 62 percent of Clinton backers who said the same about their candidate.

yada yada yada....Trump IS going to be the next President. Enough American have woke up from the liberal media induced trance to realize they have been played for fools and are now getting their news from reliable souces like the Drudge Report. I even belive now that the once ridiculed grocery store tabloids like the Inquirer are more trustworthy than rags like the NY Times, Washington Post, and those so called news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and now even Fox News.
Yes, the sleepers have awakened.
my 20 yr old is going to vote Trump but she was disappointed in his lack of clarity she walked out saying that he needs to do better next time and appeal to people who aren’t angry.
Tomorrow remind her she’s voting for a leader to guide the country, not a well-versed show-pony with a trail of wreckage
No troll here.... he did barely hold his own....we need more than that.... perhaps this is some rope-a-dope.... he barely touched the email issue, barely touched the lies, lying to the families about Banghazi and to the american people as well...pay to play, Russian / Uranium deal.... touched NONE of that.
The problem, what makes me nervous: there did not appear to be anything physically wrong with her. Like everyone else I was hoping she collapsed seize freeze up hell at least cough but nothing! WTF?!
Sadly; I'm doing just that.
Well I thought he did well.
She has all the Experience.
Trump had to play defense all night 1 vs 2.
Not one hard question to hillary about anything.
Did well....or well enough?
She has all the experience of being a pandering phony and liar.
Major jabs were not taken tonight... nothing on Benghazi, her Senate record, nothing on her chronic lying, nothing on the pay to play, nothing about her scathing report on from the FBI...nothing on the Russian / Uranium deal...a tiny bit on the email ... Donald couldn’t have accidentally forgotten all of that.... when she hit him on his taxes, it was nice to tie in her 30,000 emails...but he should have gone further... mention her $1 million contribution to her foundation, how should shook the trees sos the foundation could rake in millions, and how its a money laundering scheme.... when she brought up the nuke and his fingers should be near the buttons, he should have gone after her for the Russian deal and Benghazi ...he should have said “Hillary, you don’t know the difference between a well coordinated terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Stevens and 3 others because you claimed it was because some movie” There was so much red meet. I hope he knows what he’s doing.
Drugging her up enough to keep her upright for 90 minutes is doable. Drugging her up constantly would kill her.
