Watch the whole debate, everyone. It was unbelievable. I thought Trump would be able to clear the media's super-low bar here while Hillary's was incredibly high. He bombed from moment one. She was unflappable and smiling and he was falling apart.

 

That means you, Carl. It was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

How much longer till the actual election?

November 8th, so our agony continues for another month and some-odd weeks.

 

Then don't watch CNN. Jeffrey Lord and the blond woman both said he did FANTASTIC tonight. 

Oh, they're Trump surrogates. Forget 'em. When even Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell are giving up the ghost it's done.

They're showing the highlights here on our news stations and holy !@#$%^&*], this is a train wreck on Trump's part. Like Vee said, the sweating, snarling, and fidgeting are horrendous while Hillary looks calm and collected beside him. The split screen is killer. No way can anyone say he won this.

 

How much longer till the actual election? I have to imagine (or maybe Im being naive since I dont really understand the American election cycle) that this has basically locked up her victory no?

well, we still have two more debates. the next one is a town hall I believe. he just....that was the worst debate performance I've seen. Is saturday night live premiering this week? because if they are...they are going to be BRUTAL towards Trump. 

Jane is right. Everyone is replaying the split-screen of his insane expressions and constant movement.

With Trump being a TV personality I was worried about image. Remember the verdict on the Kennedy/Nixon debates from those who watched it on TV vs Radio.

 

And for all the gushing Quartermainefan does about Trump, he looked unhinged tonight. He tried to dominate but was shut down or rambled with stupidity when he asked for extra time. For all the complaints about HRC's lack of charisma, she was poised, thoughtful, humorous, and comfortable. And for Ms. Quartermaine, she looked beautiful. That red suit, I'll now call it her power suit, worked for her.

 

So will Trump show for Debate number 2?

Heh. I'm picky. I don't think it was bad, and red is a good color on her. I just liked the black jackets and black pants better. But I will go on record saying I know nothing about fashion. My students have been trying to give me advice (both clothing and hair) for the last 8 years. A couple years ago, two actually gave me a list of stores to check out. So, I'm not in any position to judge. 

Carl I don't see anyone in the media awarding him anything. Maybe Fox. But this was a disaster.

 

What impressed me the most. Obviously HRC is knowledgable. But on the stage she stood equally. The visual side by side really worked to her advantage. He actually kind of looked unbalanced next to her.

Then don't watch CNN. Jeffrey Lord and the blond woman both said he did FANTASTIC tonight. 

Can't stand either one but Kayleigh McEnany is just downright awful. Donald could fart in her face and she'd say it smells good!

Yep. CT is a hack and AM only has her job because of her husband IMO. they can spin all they want...millions saw Trump destroy himself. 

I have to laugh. All the complaints about HRC's coughing, and I didn't see her take one sip of water while Trump was gushing water down by the glassful

I was worried about her coughing because I know the media would run with it if that happened. Meanwhile, I have a cold and while I was posting on the other site found myself coughing repeatedly... Was thinking, "Glad I'm not debating." I was coughing a lot at work today too; kids were actually concerned (or maybe they just wanted me to take a sick day, so they could get a sub - ha!). 

Donald looked like he was on crack or losing his mind. 

 

Ive legit never been more proud of Hillary Clinton than I am tonight. That was just a masterpiece performance for the ages. There were very small hiccups (2-4 at most) but compared to Donald it was non existant. Her performance at the last Benghazi hearing was almost as good as her debate performance tonight. 

 

Just donated $20 to her campaign and I'm praying this moves the needle in her direction once again. All these Gary Johnson fools have to see what a danger he is. This is just not the time or year to flirt with third party and send this country into chaos.

 

Woah Chuck Todd is a hack? In what universe? Andrea Mitchell on the other hand def is just a product of DC hobknobbing and yes only has her job cuz of her husband. But let's not throw Chucky T into the usual lame stream media.

^^^ And I think a lot of the Gary Johnson voters are Bernie or Busters which is ridiculous because Hillary has practically the same views as Bernie. I guess they still believe the primary was rigged. Didn't Bernie say that at one point earlier in the primary? And then media was all about it after those DNC emails came out... Not going to say that email about wanting to use his religion against him was OK, but it was May... if you were going to rig something, wouldn't you try a lot sooner? And how do you rig it so that so many minorities are voting for her over Bernie but not the white crowd? And wouldn't you rig it so that it wasn't 34 contests to 23 and more like 50 to 7? /end of rambling

 

Edit: This pic from the beginning of the debate is great. She was so ready to roll.

CT is a hack. That's my opinion. you don't like it? tough. I'm not changing it. K? K. 

Wow. Did not know any of this regarding the first Miss Universe after Trump bought the pageant. 

 

 No questions about emails other than a follow-up by Holt to Trump's nonsense about releasing his taxes if HRC releases her 33,000 deleted mails. She finally answered it in a few words that sounded fine and moved on. I am glad her team finally knows how to handle it.

 

It's clear Trump thought he was going to be able to get away with how he ran over everyone in the GOP debates. I thought Holt did a decent job and while he didn't fact check he did probe further with Trump when he didn't answer the question or babbled on. I thought the Birther stuff really caught him and I would have thought his campaign would have worked on a better response for him than the babbling he did. The deflection to HRC didn't even work IMO because I doubt 99 percent of the people watching knows who Sydney Blumenthal is.

 

Psst Roman: I agree with you on Chuck Todd

I don't think she coughed once or took a sip of water. meanwhile, Trump should have just took the entire pitcher and just glugged the whole thing. he was all over the place. all the fidgeting and jerking back and forth and the faces.....the world watched him tonight. 

Trump telling AP he had a defective mic and is wondering if it was on purpose.
