But she is still wearing the lapel mic. Then again....earpiece? No one has posted a zoomed-in imaged of her ear/earpiece.

schadenfreude watching hillary.

Debates have a long tail with undecideds. You should check back later. Read the transcript for starters. Trump nailed her. Remember who you are trying to convince here:

1. People who think trump is a bull. He seemed sick(ish).
2. People who think he is disrespectful of women. He called her Secretary Clinton, she called him Donald.
3. People who don’t know about bad deals: NAFTA. Highest google trending search of the debate by far was NAFTA. That is the difference in the debate. He needs to hammer NAFTA, have stats. Tie it to the Clintons.
4. People that have quesetions on Hillary’s health. Mostly, this would be the stamina of Hillary. No one knew how to react to that. They were like, “Wait, she’s been at home?”

There were many many missed opportunities. He could have taken the killshot tonight but he didn’t. I respect that. He’s going to give her enough rope to hang herself with.

schadenfreude

He should have known what to expect already!

His performance was a rehash of his rallies. You can’t do that when the opposition gets to talk, too.

On arrival, exiting her bubble van she was stiff, slow, slight limp, glum and joyless.

On stage, she lit up like a Christmas tree, apparently hoping and trying to smile her way to victory.

No, Trump didn't lose any of his his supporters, because we are ALL diehards, but neither did he manage to win over anyone and he let a whole LOT of opportunities slip by. He needs a great line, like the one Reagan had at his first second presidential debate...re age.

OTOH...as nasty and rehearsed as Hillary was, she probably won some idiots, by play at being BLOODY KELLY with the stupid Rosie O'Donnel name calling crap. Will her smirking, snarkiness, hypnotized, horror movie type grin ( A la THE MAN WHO LAUGHS and the Joker in Batman movies ) lose her anyone? I doubt it.

But he has to do better next time and stop worrying about that horsefaced "delicate flower", oh so "special" Chels!

Good idea on the repeater, and on a more covert batter pack. For security, shielding the antenna is counterproductive! I was thinking more complex signal, scrambled, sweep freq, etc. that might not fit into an earpiece. Having a covert signal intercepted by the opponent would be a disaster.

Both he and she were rigged up with microphones before coming on stage, and it is possible her transmitter was put in the small of her back. I suppose she could have asked that the mic wire be hidden so the disruption to he clothing line was minimized.

I just hope her natural obnoxiousness was enough to offset Trump’s naiveté.

He’s too used to being unchallenged, face to face.

He did know what to expect but it’s hard when you’re under attack, can’t really hit back hard or you’ll be a bully, can’t make any smart remarks.

He was hamstrung because she is a woman and she owns the media.

“I don’t see any earpiece”

ntnychik said to zoom in on the photo...that it can be clearly seen. How does one do that in order to get a close-up of her ear...and still have definition?

“as nasty and rehearsed as Hillary was, she probably won some idiots”

No she didn’t. Those people swayed by the rosy comment were swayed about a year ago when the comment was made.

Poor Hillary and her woman hating attacks are not working. He is more than holding his own.

The video before the debate started showed Lester Holt messing with his on his lower back.
