The reason Lester did as he was told to do —step in and attack Trump— was because The Donald was winning coming out the gate! If illary had been winning early Lester the lip would have remained a moderator instead of illary’s rescuer.

A key point. Every post debate discussion is about Trump.

This debate was set up for Hillary’s advantage. Her phony face and prepared answers made this all seemed manufactured. She was in her safe space. These debates are a waste of time. Screw Lester Holt.

I thought Hillary was winning on style because of her greater experience and sociopathy. She was able to fluster Trump in a very practiced manner and he got too caught up defending himself. His greatest appeal and weakness is his lack of Washington/MSM polish.

However, when she smirked and then laughed, it was a horrible image that I cannot get out of my mind. I cannot imagine having to look at her face as POTUS for four years.

I think Trump sandbagged her a bit, just to watch what she would do and say. Tactics.

I cannot say I disagree with your thought there. Might be his tactical decision.

I’m not sure the repetition is a bad thing. While it’s a little tiresome to us political junkies, repetition is what makes people remember. It would be far easier to list a handful of clear policies Trump supports as opposed to Hillary, and that’s all because he repeats them often.

I cannot believe he missed that layup on her emails. No emails, no Benghazai, no Clinton Foundation, and no strong counterpunch when she attacked him on his past statements on women. On the plus side, no major gaffes by him which was my major worry

Excellent analysis. Mrs. Chandler and I agree Trump left some fat slow pitches unswatted. Cybercrime? Hello? How about her servers?

Crap, you and I could have prepped him better that that.

He needs to hit her hard. He did not want to come across as too aggressive but when he was it was the only time I felt moved.

He had her on the ropes with TPP and I swear she was just about to say “I was for it before I was against it”. He could have finished that sound bite for her and it would have been headlines tomorrow.

He let her drag him down into the muck and he spent too much time defending himself. Let’s face it. He’s like the kid who is trying to cover his ass for not finishing his Brussels sprouts while his sister cooked the family dog and put it in the chili every one is eating. There is no reason to say anything other than “where’s the dog”.

Philandering Willy.
Benghazi.
Classified email handling.
The foundation.
Democratic management of race relations.
Immigration.
Foreign and domestic Islamic terrorism.

Damn. There are so many targets.

And by the way. Lester Holt should be put on an ice floe and kicked out to sea.

The key thing is here that Trump will take his licks and pivot. He learns quickly and adjusts fire. Trump will internalize and improve his debating skills.

Well observed, my friend.

Jo. You don’t have any idea what you are talking abot re Laz.

Oh I do, I just don't give a crap about the global establishment. I've tangled with his blind followers here before.

I have not watched any of the debate yet, by design.

My question is did he come across as a bully? Even a little?

Because if he did not, even a little, then he won some new groups that have been conditioned into thinking he’s a bully.

Now, at the 2nd debate he can come out off the ropes a little and punch back. And at the 3rd debate, he can KO her.

But he must not appear as a bully at all tonight. That’s what her media was waiting for so that they could play his bully character 24/7 to the 2nd debate.

Yep: scam questions, designed to bailout and reign
in the Bernie babies.

Note how she looked down at her notes after every question.

Not one mention of the health-care extortion scam. Not one.

I don’t know why people consider someone being a slick talker a good thing in a candidate. We’ve been there before with the Clintons. Why do they not think the slick talker is going to try to pull one over on them?

The interesting thing is I thought Trump could have hit her on more things, BUT as they are playing answers to specific questions NOW they are playing really well. It's interesting and I don't know what to attribute that to. I also found it interesting that Charles Krauthamer who has been no friend to Trump says it was a draw and a draw goes to the challenger. I thought Lester Holt was horrible and I couldn't believe Fox put Mark Cuban on. I also didn't hear Hillary Clinton tell us one accomplishment that she has to her name in over 30 years in government. Not one.

I agree. Was expecting more from Trump but he was outnumbered 2-1. Hillary might have won on style points but never really said anything of substance.

My assessment as well. Tie goes to the runner, but this is too damn close for comfort. If Trump doesn’t break out significantly, there is too much room for fraud.

Yes, perhaps, however I would have him preparing sound bytes that were more alliterative. I did like his 400 MILLION CASH comments about the Iran 'deal'.

I also liked him tying her directly to the Obama administration actions. More of that please.
