Those who are satisfied with business as usual will say Hillary won.
Those who want higher taxes and bigger government will say Hillary.
Those who think the Iran Nuke deal is a good deal will say Hillary.
Those who think trade deals like NAFTA and TPP are great for America will say Hillary.
Those who think inner city blacks and minorities have been treated great by the democrats and their socialist policies will say Hillary.
Those who think Hillary will appoint great judges will say she won.
Those who think Hillary can securely safeguard our nation's classified information and will secure our borders and our nation will say she won.
Those who think we need a complete turnover and want to prevent our nation from spiraling down the drain know that Trump won and must win the coming election.
She's registered DEM and ready to vote, right?! ;)
I think Hillary “won” the debate, or it was a tie. She was more polished and got her talking points out. Trump missed several excellent opportunities to hit her hard. He was more often on defense rather than taking the fight to her. Cybersecurity, for example, should have been a slam dunk for him.
However, I agree with you. It doesn’t matter who had a better technical performance in the debate. What matters is what the candidates stand for, and Hillary Clinton is clearly for more of the same. They are diametrically opposed in where they want to take the country on immigration, trade, taxes, etc. By investments, Hillary means more power to government to pick winners and losers. She means more taxes so that government can distribute to special interests. She wants to take on evil corporations who make the jobs Americans need.
Sorry, but I trust Trump. He’s got a much better vision of where the country needs to go.
Holt was an ass.
good to know someone else was yelling crz.
At least the cops didn’t show up ButThreeLeftDo :)
i’m getting better!!
I don’t think Trump convinced even a single Clinton supporter to vote for him. And I don’t think Clinton convinced even a single Trump supporter to vote for her. And I don’t think there are very many truly undecided voters. At least 75% of those who say they’re considering voting third party know deep in their heart that they’re going to end up voting for either Trump or Hillary, and they already know which one, if they’re being totally honest with themselves. And this debate did nothing to convince them to switch. So the only possible effect it had was to convince a few of the 25% remaining third partiers to vote one way or the other, and I have no idea which way they would trend.
For Trump this was a 90 minute infomercial. The notion of scoring points and winning/losing matters to the media...but thats not what this was about for Trump.
I think the whole purpose of Trump’s presentation was to show a Presidential candidate versus anything Hitlery would present. He did that.
People remember how you make them feel, not what you said. Logic doesn’t matter. Facts don’t matter.
Trump made them feel good. Hiltery did not.

However, the after-game may be a better format in which to woo the undecided.
The hard core Hillary or die people probably would only hate Donald all the more for such a brilliant rhetorical punching game. So why bother?
Amen!
When the debate started it was evident to me Mrs. Bill Clinton lost it when the witch addressed Donald Trump as “Donald” and he came back and addressed as Secretary Clinton.
Respect is a quality a person seeking the presidency should have.
Agree w/ post 9, Holt let Hillary talk way over her two minutes. Holt gave Hillary first at bat on more of the questions. Holt followed the marching orders from the establishment.
thanks so much Jim!
You are always the ray of hope in dark times...what a wonderful mission God has sent you on—to keep the Warriors morale uplifted!!!!
I noticed she seemed to remember EVERYTHING but during meetings with the FBI she couldn’t recall 38 times
And the soul of the devil is a master of misdirection.
As usual, you’re right.
Taking deep breaths.
I’d call it a draw. On to round 2.
