yep. 2DV ... good one
Wow. You’re on a roll with these “Trump Won the Debate” posts tonight. Makes you wonder what the media is up to by putting there out.
BS! Trump himself said he held back so as to not embarrass her. Sorry, but that was a huge mistake. He had the chance to bury her and instead played "not to lose". This allowed to breathe new life into the Clinton campaign and give her a little momentum.
I wish our side would stop trying to "walk the high ground" in order to "look Presidential". McCain tried it. Romney tried it. How did that work out?
The point they miss is that this goes both ways.
Hillary Clinton was condescending and rude to Trump and men noticed. At this point men will crawl over broken glass to vote against her.
HRC won in the eyes of the LIVs and soccer/security moms, etc.
This should have been an easy and clear win for Trump, but as Rush noted before, he does not view liberals ideologically.
He was completely blindsided by her being who she is.
The drugged-up JokerFace didn’t win Mitt - no matter how many times the Media Streichers scream it.
She getsbit
Love this line:
"Relishing his outsider role, he positioned her squarely in her role of status quo incumbent."
This shows the savvy Trump strategy. All evening he called her "Secretary Clinton". He treated her office with respect, and it was beautiful positioning.
Now, there's no way that the Madame Secretary can be considered a Washington outsider. She is part of the Establishment in a year when it's time for the Establishment to fall.
Nice work, Mister President Trump.
Remember; for many people this was a first impression thing. Trump captured that in the first 30 minutes. The rest was far less important. As long as there was nothing major.
TRUMP: You know, Hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials. Some of it's said in entertainment. Some of it's said -- somebody who's been very vicious to me, Rosie O'Donnell, I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.
But you want to know the truth? I was going to say something...
HOLT: Please very quickly.
TRUMP: ... extremely rough to Hillary, to her family, and I said to myself, "I can't do it. I just can't do it. It's inappropriate. It's not nice." But she spent hundreds of millions of dollars on negative ads on me, many of which are absolutely untrue. They're untrue. And they're misrepresentations.
And I will tell you this, Lester: It's not nice. And I don't deserve that.
But it's certainly not a nice thing that she's done. It's hundreds of millions of ads. And the only gratifying thing is, I saw the polls come in today, and with all of that money...
Did they get to have opening and closing statements like at a normal debate? I think Trump could have put it away with a good closing statement.
