Keeping his powder dry the first round. The fact that he stood toe to toe is a win. She exposed weaknesses and trump is one to exploit those weaknesses. There are two more debates. Let her feel cocky. All the better when he sees her next time.

I think Trump was holding his fire, getting a feel for the tactics of the opposition, and being careful not to come across as an overly aggressive brute. He generally has the persona of a likable guy, and he doesn’t want to tarnish that image. All in all, I think he accomplished his objectives, and in the remaining debates I expect he will become more and more intensely focused on the multitude of reasons she is unqualified to be President. Supporters who were disappointed that he didn’t kill her this evening need to be a little more patient: It’s only the first quarter of the game!
