Hillary was very polished in her responses in tonight's debate, almost too polished. In fact, she was more polished than perhaps any politician I have ever seen in a debate. And calm.
Hillary's emails show us that the DNC approved articles about Hillary for CNN. There's definite collusion between Hillary and the press. It's not even a small stretch to believe that perhaps there was collusion between Hllary and NBC's debate producers.
My thoughts exactly, from about 5 minutes in. She seemed to be looking down at a sheet, and even if there was no sheet, knowing the general subject matter of the questions beforehand, would explain why she was able to be both so composed and to kind of recklessly go on the offensive with personal “when did you stop beating your wife?” questions. That and the medications she was obviously on.
lol of course they did.
Heck, she probably gave THEM the questions!
But it didn’t help, Trump still won.
No...She was too mechanical...She was already talking almost before the question was finished...Very scripted, it seemed to me...
Lester Holt brought up no issue the Trump campaign has been discussing.
I felt I was a watch a tag team gang up on Trump.
Fortunately, it did him no real harm. The bias was obvious even to liberals in the audience.
She was too polished. Her answers were too prepared and did not seem like the thoughts were all hers. She was scripted.
Her answers were the usual tune out blah, blah, blah
There’s definite collusion between Hillary and the press.
**************
I have no doubt whatsoever that the NBC execs gave her the questions. The fix was in from the beginning. After watching Holt tonight there can be no other conclusion.
LOLOL!!!
I caught myself looking at Trump’s facial movements while Hillary was talking. Then I realized that while Trump was talking, I never looked at Hillary. Her canned responses couldn’t hold my attention.
Given the fact that Holt injected himself as the 3rd debater, and never asked any question that would make Clinton the least bit uncomfortable, didn’t cut her off, and never admonished her supporters to remain silent, it is not a stretch to think that he or others could have given the questions to Clinton.
Heck, I’ll go further that that, and say that it is likely that Holt paid a visit to the Clinton HQ and picked up the questions from them.
Correct. Anyone of us who had 4 days to practice could talk for 2 minutes on all the possible 7 or 8 obvious questions he would ask.
The rest was scripted insults, which Trump had to take time to defend.
She should’ve been the one on defensive. Or discredited early and often as a pathological liar, with examples.
She made a remark or 2 that gave the impression that she was in collusion with Lester. She was too cozy.
I don’t know. Were there really any questions that weren’t expected, or were that off the wall? I mean there was no “what would you do if Kitty was raped” questions. Do they need to feed the obvious questions. They probably did, but Trump’s team should have realized what the questions would be. He should have been prepared to answer the stupid birther question, and the women are pigs comments. It’s not fair, but it shouldn’t be hard to figure out that the questions would be asked, and to prepare responses.
Hillary was Hillary. Wind her up and she talks and the head bobs. No emotion, just facts - all of them wrong.
Trump let her get under his skin. He spent too much time repeating himself and defending himself, He looked like a boxer in the ring with his hands up while the other guy was slamming him instead of jabbing back. This is a woman with NO accomplishments and a track record of lying, deceits, and illegal action. Next time Trump, less on the defense, more on offense.
Feeding them to her, who knows..but she got the questions in advance that I know for sure..she never ever opens her trap unless she has the questions in advance..I was laughed at WEEKS ago when I said the questions are given to her, they said what proof do I have..I have none, but I rely on common sense, they are ALL in the tank for her of course she had the questions, for weeks
Exactly..no one expected Trump to destroy her, she is a career politician, she has been doing this her ENTIRE LIFE, he’s been doing this for 1 year..let me ask, with ALL that experience and knowledge that Clinton has, what has that gotten us..everywhere she goes dead bodies follow..death, destruction, and chaos, that is what 30 years of Clinton has gotten us
I just remember her saying (in a near monotone deliver with a plastic smile), “And the five point plan . . . blah, blah, blah.” Her talking for fifteen minutes uninterrupted. Then Lester asking her another softball question. Hillary talking for another 15 minutes. Then Lester asking an accusatory, inflammatory, even demeaning question to Trump. Holt’s request to Trump ending with an annoyed, “You have two minutes!”
Trump was easy on her on any personal matter, and just hammered on her being a cog in a broken system that we can do better than. This was brilliant. He did not have to create a narrative she is a liar with corrupt ties to Wall Street donors. This was the common perception coming into the debate, and still is now. Her negatives are in tact...except for her negatives about poor health, which I think she did well on by not appearing sick. But that's not enough to save her campaign. I think she is now toast.
She was nasty on personal matters coming after Trump, but she did not connect and gave Trump an opportunity to overcome that narrative. Big tactical mistake. Trump's focus on just correcting this narrative and then bringing the focus back to helping America has greatly undermined the narrative. Lester and Hillary would have been smarter to not bring it up, but they are not that bright I guess. To top it off she came off as less concerned with actually improving things or acknowledging that anything much was wrong--and to double top it off she had a big fake creepy bobble head smug smile while he pointed out his concerns. She totally lost, and lost badly.
