Trump needs to refrain from the appearance of boasting .0ne thing that definitely didn’t help was when Hillary said he had paid “0” taxes and he said that was being “smart”. The problem with the debates is that they are tightly framed so you can’t or don’t have enough time to really bring up the good stuff on Hillary. To do so would require an encyclopedia sized file and people would be lost within secs. I think Trump came off as being more truthful of the two though. Hillary’s wandering eyeball was a show in itself.
Not only did Trump kick her ass, but he kicked Lester Holts ass two
Next time they should tell people it’s going to be a debate 2 against 1
Up yours, Pal. I agree 100% with the poster.
Trump - whom I support wholeheartedly - had a very poor debate performance last evening.
How can you be so damn wrong?
Literally?
Time-Lies-Warner-Turner IS CNN.
Defund the Left, boycott Time-Warner.
That’s a very good sampling of the polls and most of them are lefty and they all favor Trump.
I absolutely can not stand Hillary; that being said, I thought she won. She looked ‘Presidential’ to the ignorant sheep and he looked argumentative. We may have seen the death of nationalism and the 2nd Amendment last night.
Both of them got some zingers in. Overall, I'd say it was a draw.
I don’t think he was creamed, but he might’ve learned something debating Cruz one-on-one. Hopefully, he’ll get his weaknesses worked out. He doesn’t seem like one to not take advantage of what he learns at an initial negotiation meeting.
It’s extremely unlikely that Hillary can improve unless she gets a voice/attitude transplant. Certainly her policies are only as good as Obama’s worst ones.
With all of the choices to view who would pick CNN ? It’s what they used to accuse Fox of being - a libtard seminar group.
She didn’t fall out. That’s a win for her.
The moderators were definitely skewed towards Hillary as in jump in if Trump was starting to hammer her or to ask questions to steer the debate if it were starting to enter dangerous waters for her. It was obvious Hillary already had a copy of the questions and had prepared for them. But we all expected this right?
To some extent what you say is true. Hillary was polished and on her game, but I am not electing a polished career politician who is the most crooked of her brethren. I want an honest authentic candidate....and Trump is refreshingly that. He is blunt and open. Perfect, no. But Hillary only looked perfect....behind the smoke and mirrors we know her to be a lying fake. Her smug condescending comment that opened the debate about Trump’s father and $14mil set the tone for me. She was a know it all smarky exwife. That is what a lot of folks saw.
I agree. IMHO, it felt that he didn't prepare for the debate.
My $0.02?
Hillary! and that Democrat shill who was the "moderator" set a trap for Trump, and he walked into it. I'm guessing that it won't happen again.
The one thing that people aren't talking about, I think, is the thinly veiled contempt that Hillary has for the American voter. Starting with her "deplorables" comment a few weeks ago, she reiterated it last night with the opinion (approximately) that all Americans are racists. The "Holier than Thou" approach is an ugly one, and I hope others saw it.
Trump attacks the press, and he attacks Hillary, but he never attacks the people who vote for her. Smart move, you don't change people's minds by insulting them.
But....all in all....it doesn't matter. People who watched the debates very likely had their minds already made up.
CNN is on your TV by default, and has been there for decades, you really have no choice.
The CNN web site, however, is a choice. I never bother to go there, most freepers probably never bother to go there, but libtards love it.
So they clearly have skewed results.
Now if the next debate Trump does not have to go aganst TWO opponents, then we’ll see
Plus he needs to call her Crooked HilLIARy
I don’t know any undecideds and I don’t think that the debates are going to sway anyone who’s mind isn’t already dead set on a candidate (or do so until after they’ve already ‘early voted’ which has already begun in some areas).
That said, I don’t think either candidate fell on their face in the way that some anticipated.
Donald Trump didn’t resort to personal attacks and name calling as he had in the primary debates and he was armed with facts and didn’t back down even with unjust (lies) from the so-called moderator. It was clear that there WERE personal attacks made by the moderator and Mrs. Clinton.
And Nana Hillary didn’t weeble-wobble and fall down after standing 90 minutes at a podium under stage lights.
Everything else was a “sparring match”, and not much of a debate for those who wanted specifics from both candidates. And Trump’s comments to Rosie O’Donnell, birtherism of a non-competing candidate, and tax returns are not the important subjects for national presidential debate.
Hillary is out of touch on the economy and any way towards improving it (more women’s studies grads aren’t going to create a bunch of new jobs or bring back jobs for middle-aged professionals who are earning half of their potential). Saying “go to my website” is not an answer and luckily it wasn’t Donald Trump saying that when asked for his positions on the issues. Hillary should be getting savaged for it since she couldn’t deliver a concise summation of her plans.
She attacked Mr. Trump for saying “He won’t tell us how to take out ISIS”. John Kerry boasted in 2004 that he knew how to fix Iraq (and this was after we’d already toppled Saddam). 12 years later and with JFTAKerry as Sec. of State, he’s neither disclosed nor implemented his “solution”.
I more than despise the bitch, Hillary, but I have to agree with you. She looked like she had prepared for weeks, though her answers appeared canned and memorized, while he looked like it was just another campaign stop. I'm sure we all know he missed a multitude of golden opportunities. Next time a little preparation beforehand might be in order.
I don't want to be sitting around on Nov 9th talking about missed opportunities and "woulda, coulda, shoulda" while we plan the funeral for America.
Just want him to really kick her ass in the next round.
The Donald started out by going on the offense right away, but got thrown back on the defensive after the first twenty minutes or so, which staggered his whole posture. He was recovering toward the end, but Herself lost several opportunities to go in for the kill, by talking up the Wonkish skills set she does so well, talking past her point several times. Technically, Herself may have won on points, and managed to stay upright most of the evening, no coughing spells or wobbly knees, but that is probably the medication talking.
At no time did Herself project anything like warmth or likability. Herself did go into the didactic and shrill mode a couple of times.
It occurred to me a few days ago all Hillary has done her entire adult life is lie. And she's gotten very good at it. She has a seared conscience so she can lie and by her words alone people would think she's honest.
I once worked in a drug rehab center. It amazed me how good liars they were. Hillary puts them to shame. She's extremely good at her craft, lying.
