He did fine, but I think he needed to do better to put her away.

I think she won in the following sense: She not only didn't keel over, she kept on going strong, a big overcoming of expectations. She put him on the defensive more than he was able to do for her doing the first half of the debate, plus she looked steadier, and more articulate early on.

He came onto her fairly well during the second half, but at best he made it a draw.

Nothing is over, two more to go, but she can now regain momentum as long as she has no more health issues come up in front of the general public.

There's a long way to go, he has two more debates to do better, so who knows how this will end. I had hoped he would put her away, he didn't. I still think he's going to win, he hasn't even begun to run ads, and she did not score a fatal blow in any way shape or form.

The last forty plus days are going to be scary.

Some Trump ads were on Fox News, pre-debate.

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.

You're thinking KO; he's thinking of gradually, slowly, so that all the Hillary supporters continue high-fifing and dozing off in their complacency, while he continues picking up more undecideds, changing the wafflers to mild Trump supporters, the generally-votes-Dem to well-maybe-just-this-once-ers, and so on.

He's going for the swing voters and softening up traditional Dem strongholds.

But her bubble chamber will hear none of it.
