I couldn’t watch it because I had to get to bed for work this morning.
Enjoying reading the FR posts. Will watch it after work in about 15 hours.

As Greenfield argued, Holt’s exposure of his bias was a losing proposition. Things have gone their way only when secular progressives hide their hatred of our civilization and its’ middle class behind benevolent-looking masks of pretense. In terms of method (i.e., grooming their intended victims and dividing them from mature adults) and malign intent secular progressives are comparable to pedophiles and pederasts.

Lester Holt chose the questions he thought would damage Trump and put Hillary back in the race.

Instead, they backfired spectacularly and only made Trump more popular.

At the end of the night, the main casualty of the debate wasn’t Trump as the MSM hoped; it was the MSM itself.

People saw with their own eyes it wasn’t a real debate but a coordinated assault to take down Trump.

The American people overwhelmingly repudiated it in post-debate online polls.

Holt harmed Hillary far more than he helped her.

Hillary thought she could reply on the media in the person of Holt to take out Trump for her; that didn’t happen.

And when it didn’t happen, Trump remained the front-runner, dealing a crippling blow to Hillary’s chance of regaining the lead and winning the White House.

Both Holt and Hillary thought they were unbiased; the bias every one else saw on naked display coming from them instead handed Trump the election.

In more ways than than one, what transpired in the wake of last night signaled the end of the era of liberal dominance of our political life.

As a result, Trump will be our next President.

How smart must one be in order to produce such an articulate and insightful article mere hours after the debate ended? Just amazing.

In my opinion, no one won the debate last night.

Trump was holding back (probably because he was advised to)
But Trump did not blow up the way Hillary had hoped he would.
And Donald Trump had no major gaff- very good for someone who's not a career politician like Hillary is.

Hillary on the other hand, did not win.

Hillary came across as the sort of person who'd walk on top of dead bodies and blame them when she tripped.
She came across as smug, nasty, just plain rotten in every sense of the word.

And lester holt, well he had his Hillary knee pads on last night.
There isn't enough soap and water in the world to wash away what he's wearing today.

Wow -- that's a remarkable clip.

I didn't watch the debate ... Was that at the beginning or the end?

That was the end.

At the beginning, Holt shook Hillary’s hand and said, “Good luck”. And then he shook Trump’s hand.

Holt was remarkably partisan throughout and at the end, in the clip, Trump made his feelings known by just walking away.

I can barely imagine how difficult it would be to debate someone that has no respect for the facts of an issue, for truth? How Hillary can speak and not really say anything meaningful. How the moderator who in reality is of the same mindse as Hillary, sets up a misrepresentations as fact when asking questions?

Trump couldn’t debate Hillary effectively with a liberal moderator repeatedly running interference for her.

When you considering that and the fact Trump had to parry back enemy fire from two directions, its a marvel Trump did as well as he did. Not many people could do it.

As I noted, it rendered Trump a much more likable and very human figure.

He won the debate going away on substance and swept in a landslide nearly all the all the online post-debate polls.

A stand-out performance for a political rookie.

I hope you’re right. And yet, should Trump prevail, he’ll be faced with millions of morally-debauched progressivized Americans. The success of secular progressive methodology is on display for example, in Americans who hate the civilization that nourishes and protects them, violent BLM rioters, race-baiters, our shameless selfie generation, and millions of theologically confused Christians whose favorite Bible verse is a twisted variation of thou shalt not judge. In their perverted version if you discern between good and evil then you are guilty of evil. In short, we are to be like the 3 stupid monkeys who because they willfully see no evil and hear no evil, then speak no evil (words of discernment) against evil

People who hate Trump would never be won over.

The majority of the American people were repelled at the treatment of Trump.

They made that emphatically clear in their crowning him the debate winner.

You’re looking at our next President - not the pre-determined choice of the MSM.

That is what rattles Hillary and her supporters.
People can't stand Hillary.
And they know it.

It seemed to me that Hillary must have been given the questions ahead of time. She rattled off well rehearsed answers to every question.
