ON THE OCCASION OF THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Donald John Trump
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, HEMPSTEAD, NY
9 PM MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 2016
The 90 minute debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator and announced at least one week before the debate. The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.
Hillary Clinton was too cutesy and by the end of this debate I was bored and tired of her and her cutesy act and non substantive responses to anything. Donald Trump accomplished what he wanted to get across to the public tho it was not what some wanted. He finished by saying that he could have said hurtful things about her and her family but could not go that route. For those watching to learn more about Trump I think he came across as an intelligent , respectful man who did not beat up on a woman but stood up to her when it was necessary. More than once Trump reminded us that Hillary had many years to accomplish the things that she now wants to do as president. Why will she do differently now? He ended by saying that Hillary had a lot of experience, but it was bad experience. Summing up, it was an unexciting debate and Hillary did her democrat lying about everything and thew out lies about Trump that her followers wanted to hear repeated once again. Trump held his own but was not aggressive on putting her down, which I believe was intentional. My final take was that I disliked Hillary more than I had thought and was glad the debate was over.
Laura said Lester dropped the ball
No questions on her emails or pay to play Clinton Foundation!
Yea, sure Lester is a Republican! LOL
We are more Critical of Trump than the average American will be.
We know so much about Killary that they don't .
And Trump Did hammer home some points on her that Some Americans might not have heard before.
Liberals will also (even if silently) pick apart Killary's performance and be disappointed her is as because she didn't do "X Y or Z" to Trump.
Some Trump ads were on Fox News, pre-debate.
yea— was one of Trump’s major theme— she has had 30 years and done nothing..

Wrong. Given his performance, useless repetition, breaking into Hillary's time to give petulant responses, trying to explain instead of demonstrate, he could not help but loose ground without devastating hits on Hillary's credibility.
You know, there's a reason all professional politicians sound the same these days...usually, it works. Tonight, against Trump, you see why....
I hope his people let him know how bad he screwed up.
I felt he was on the defense way too much. He should have stuck to taking her down and asking the country if they are doing worse today than 8 years ago.
Yes, but it is great to see all those Trump ads that started flowing tonight and will continue till election. It will begin to make a difference as well.
In next debate these questions will be out.
Email will remain.
Hillary dropped the whole bomb load over the target, but it didn't dent Trump. Most was just repeat of her ads. Funny how the debate played into that.
If there is a consensus in the thread tonight, Trump pulled punches and left plenty of weaponry in the arsenal for the next two debates. I'm glad he was on defense and took the barage of dirty bombs. I'm feeling pretty good about things.
I got to pop in during her speech and that was about it. Shook Jim’s hand and had to leave to be with the rest of our family for that trip.
[Fox Business has waaaay better post debate coverage.]
as always.
Even more if you count compounding interest.
;-)
This is very good advice. You should send it on.

If Trump is at 56% in a liberal rag. clinton is sunk.
“It’s fine if Trump has the “spirit of the staircase.”
May I ask what that means?
Thanks!
