Here's a more detailed version (too wordy for main stream internet viewers though)

Donald Trump won tonight’s debate. He didn’t implode, he didn’t blither, he didn’t continually interrupt Hillary Clinton and he didn’t even sniff much. And, frankly, he had the best retorts and one-liners. Clinton was on her heels much of the night, and several times, she had to reset by resorting to tired, hollow platitudes — which only drove home the point that she lacks authenticity and appears to be a typical politician who is therefore dishonest. That said, Clinton was an able, informed politician, but Trump — for the first time — appeared to be a worthy opponent.
The fact is this is a change election, and Clinton is not the change candidate. People don’t really want to vote for her, and tonight, she didn’t give them much of a reason to do so. And perhaps Trump put voters more at ease with Trump. Up until this debate, Trump has helped Clinton out by running a campaign that has been a complete misfire — taking the bait, chasing rabbits, insulting women, wallowing in conspiracies and almost consciously avoiding things voters care about. But during this debate, he held his tongue and held his temper. Trump isn’t particularly light on his feet, but he was confident and competent talking about the economy. It’s a wonder he hasn’t talked about the economy during more of the campaign. Anyway, he even showed a much better understanding of geopolitics than I would have thought. He sounded like a Republican on most issues. For Trump, it’s too bad there aren’t more debates.

It was a stroke of genius for Trump to banish WaPo reporters from covering his campaign earlier this year.
Nothing eats away at their guts like the thought of being frozen out of White House press events for four solid years.
To Beltway media insiders that’s the equivalent of being forced to consume a glass of Jim Jones Kool-Aid.
Hence the suck-up has begun. Hail our New Trumpian Overlord!
I mean I thought Trump did good, but I thought the Second one was the best.
Maybe because they were up walking around.
These were my thoughts last night. Also, on FBN this morning, the polling gal (I don't know her name) showed three dials reflecting moments in the debate. The Indies were strongly for Trump all three times.
Is this the same outfit as the one that decreed on Monday that Herself! had already won?
If so, time to pivot and start sucking-up to the new POTUS.
When you hopefully start to see folks in her campaign heading for the exits to save their integrity you will know why WaPo wrote this article.
She lost when she pointed out the violence at the trump rallies right after he exposed her with WikiLeaks.stupid cluntons.
Ack, my browser won’t let me read past their paywall...!
Perhaps someone could post the remainder of the article... ? Not signing up for no compost!
I’m guessing the parent companies are thinking twice about its continual pissing on the Country, its Citizens, and the Constitution.
Those fed up with the MSM must take action by suspending every possible form of patronage to these abusive operations.
I think that they may be running scared re: what O’Keefe may have unearthed on the WaPo
Or perhaps it's just an op-ed from their token Republican?
[ the polling gal (I don’t know her name)]
Lee Carter.
Yes, Lee Carter.
Thanks. That is outstanding.
WaPo’s parent company is Amazon.
If we all choose to do to them what we’re doing to the NFL...
Trump for President.
I watched for about one hour.
Clinton was parroting the same old tired rhetoric Democrats have used for at least the last 40 years.
Wallace would allow Clinton to ramble on and on and on. Whenever Trump started giving responses that were a little too hot or discomforting, Wallace would interrupt him — usually after the first or second sentence of Trump’s responses.
At one point, Wallace became the opposition and entered the debate against Trump, while Clinton got a brief respite.
