“Luntz said on twitter that Trump won the Independents tonight, this was in REAL time”

That’s what really matters about tonight.

That was early in the debate. You have to read his Twitter feed for the remainder of his comments.

His final tweet tonight: among his focus group, 16 people said Clinton won the debate, 6 said Trump won.

My wife was trying to watch it, but it kept freezing. I was just getting the blow by blow here. I couldn’t stand listening to either of them.

For me, trump is like Ann Coulter in this way: I love her books but I hate her live appearances. For me, he really does come off as an aristocrat blowhard in live debates. But that is just my commentary on how he “sounds”.

I like the rest of the package. Hopefully that’s enough.

I really liked his speeches after mexico. It was the first time he really SOUNDED presidential to me.

Okay, he didn’t do as well. Look at who he is and that is not a politician. Gingrich was right, let Trump be Trump as it is what got him this far. If he was a politician, he got creamed. He isn’t. He is Trump and by God it’s working. Luntz and his focus groups are giving him the win with Independts.

I agree with most of your points Laz except there are some points he needs to repeat more often. On the Iran deal it is good if he can say “billions of our money going to an enemy terrorist regime who are now even closer to nuclear weapons.” He has to say it emphatically and slowly and repeat it.

He has to repeat that Hillary has zero standing on cyber security issues when lower personnel have gone to prison for what she did with classified information.

The dweeb Luntz had a fair point here: Frank Luntz ‏@FrankLuntz 1h1 hour ago Philadelphia, PA Trump is talking about problems… Hillary is talking about solutions. Voters always want to hear solutions. #DebateNight

I don’t know too many here that would have done a better job than Donald in that position.

I know I couldn't. He fought hard and we need a fighter now. He needs some discipline, though. He should focus more on his own two minutes and less on hers.

Yes, I’ve been following that. I think he will continue to expand his lead. Sadly, it looks like they have her physical condition in check. I’m hoping they can’t keep it up.

I am convinced she had the questions well in advance.

The giveaway came when she just had to mention the drapery guy that she had in the audience that Donald allegedly stiffed when he filed a Chapter 11 or 13 several years or decades ago.

Like the Church Lady would say, "How convenient!" And "How damn convenient" that Hillary wasn't quizzed on her e-mails and the Clinton Foundation?!

All I’m saying is more preparation wouldn’t hurt.

That's certainly true and has been for each debate. Trump manages to win, or not lose, because he simply promotes the issues that many patriotic Americans have been concerned about for years.

I don't think Hillary gained much, if anything, from tonight because it was obvious that there was collusion between her campaign and Lester Holt. Holt brought up every negative meme the Dims have been trying to hang on Trump the past several weeks.

Holt said she sounded like a newspaper article according to my mom who was watching Univision
