Turns out, when it's one on one with an opponent who actually knows something and isn't intimidated by his bullying, Trump's an empty sack (well, not completely empty, if you get my drift). There were many wonderful moments (besides the deep huffing noises his nose was making when he was riled up) but I think my favorite was on the Iraq War question. "Why won't anyone call Sean Hannity?" was just about the funniest and most pathetic thing I've ever heard in any debate and not just how desperate he has to be to have to use Hannity as a reference. I hear Giuliani is advising Trump not to do any more debates. I have mixed feelings about that. I long to see more of Donald Trump huffing and puffing and lying and attempting to interrupt Hillary over and over--in other words, being the 3 year old that he is emotionally. But, if he does chicken out of further debates he's toast the minute he announces that decision. So it would save the country a lot of further embarrassment if he does.
 
Hillary lost.
 
Trump started off strong, easily winning the first 1/3 of the debate. But he obviously didn't prepare for the hard questions, which is odd because he had to know they were coming. I guarantee you Hillary already has her answers ready for things about Benghazi and the Clinton Foundation. Trump's ADD is getting the better of him.
 
I call the OP a case of confirmation bias. Two very flawed candidates remain very flawed.

There is no issue with most anything he says. Anyone that is at all interested knows his qualities and that he is massively under qualified. Nobody can learn anything from these debates on that score. It was funny that he didn't point out how badly the Democrat policies are for most of the lower classes. That is odd.

yeah he ran over to Hannity right after the debate. I was like, aw how cute! If Trump doesn't do any more debate he's a loser and a coward.

I thought the best part was where Hillary claimed the Bush tax cuts caused the housing crisis and recession. Both Trump and Hillary are complete idiots and it really showed last night

I've read a lot of reports, posts, and comments, and it is clear the kooker leftists are trying desperately to convince themselves Crazy Crooked Granny did extremely well.

Well Trump's hatred for the Bush's probably makes him partially agree with her on that...And then his mere stupidity liberalness makes him partially agree with her about everything else.
 
I'm in the camp that Hillary prevailed in the debate.

But Trump has proven himself to be the 'Teflon Don'. Ordinarily I'd expect a nice moderate bump for Clinton. In this unusual year though, I'm going to predict a small bump, pausing her recent downward slide.

There's just too many variables out there, though. 100M viewers, 18% undecided or leaning to the strongest third party in generations, and a very high percentage of 'registered' to 'likely' voters. All the aforementioned ordinarily would allow for a pretty large 1st debate move - maybe even 5 or more pts!

But, I'll be damn if I can call it! :mrgreen:

I seriously doubt that either of them believes that the Bush tax cuts are the cause of the housing crisis.
Of Hillary's supporters, I'm not at all so certain.

Nah, we'll leave the hand wringing to the fringe left. :lol:

The left stream media is already lamenting the fact Granny didn't hit it out of the park. You can't make those kookers happy no matter what. :2razz:

True. Poor Comrade BS didn't stand a chance against Debbie Blabbermouth and the rest of the leftist Granny shills. Comrade BS got a taste of how the party of corruption operates.

Guiliani should advise Guiliani to stop advising Trump. Of all the horrible ideas Guiliani trotted out the absolute worst one via "Stop & Frisk". I knew Trump was in a goddamn bubble but that was ridiculous.

Doing so would require "effort" and "work". It would not be as much fun as "trolling on twitter" or "holding big rallies where people adore you".

Its not really Giuliani's fault. He can make the case. Trump cannot. Why? Because Trump doesn't put the effort into understanding a topic before commenting on it. Trump hears things, then repeats them without being able to add substance to them: Stop and Frisk, Law and Order, Build a Wall, Make America Great Again, Bring our Jobs Back. Those are all Trump slogans that he has picked up along the way but has never put forth the effort to understand or develop himself. He struggles in a debate or an interview because there is not thought behind those slogans.
