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.
Wallace was not fair. However, I do think he was the best moderator this year.
But, yeah, a low point was when Hillary droned on for well over 2 minutes, and Trump demanded time to respond and Wallace graciously allowed Trump to speak about two sentences before Wallace forced a new topic into the discussion. Totally blatant.
And he was the best they had this year.
I suffered through the entire 90 minutes and this was my feeling also. No matter what she was asked... Clinton would look at her notes or whatever it was she had with her talking points on them and immediately go into one of her canned routines. Wallace would then let her prattle on for an annoyingly long period of time, to his credit on a couple of occasions he mentioned that she did not answer the question, in response she would just go into a different prepared routine that had nothing to do with the question.
It made it difficult for me to judge how this would be viewed by the people who do not know much about what has been going on. Have any of the major networks covered the wikileaks disclosures or the Project Veritas videos? Just barely if at all... they have spent all their air time bashing Trump for his Billy Bush comments and the stream of women that the Clinton Campaign has trotted out.
My feeling was that Trump was much easier to listen to and I wanted to hear what he had to say. I have never seen another Republican in front of at least 100 million Americans say what he did last night about the horrors of late term abortion and I was very proud that he had the guts to do it. Hillary annoyed the hell out of me every time she opened her lying over rehearsed mouth. But I wondered how the debate was playing with the “undecided” and the easily manipulated. We will find out and I am glad there will be three more weeks of Trump working his butt off and Hillary probably hiding out half the time.
I saw that too and a couple times Trump went after Wallace, which I thought was great. Hillary of course just lies, like when she said she supports the second amendment. Or the ludicrous attempt to connect the Trump campaign to Russia’s hacks.

I noticed that too. So incredibly irritating. Actually, infuriating.
