There might be some truth to that, but wouldn't Democrats have done the same thing? How difficult is it to vote in an online poll?

I suspect Trump simply had more supporters watching the debate than Clinton did -- which is very telling itself.

Someone posted a figure before the debate indicating that Trump has 65% more Twitter followers than Clinton does. That itself is also very telling.

His whole campaign is basically dad pulling into the driveway.

Wow, terrific one-liner. Fair notice I'm probably going to steal that!

On Fox News there was consensus that Trump’s big margin in on-line who-won-debate polls (typical result 80/20 Trump)was from Trump fans voting in large numbers (mostly Freepers?) and as often as possible.
They wish. Too bad you fell for that one, hook line and sinker.

BTW, there really aren't that many "freepers".

So FOX believes that ONLY Trump fans scramble to vote in online polls and ONLY Trump fans including FReepers will rush to vote as often as possible???

Clinton fans, I guess in FOX’s eyes, are more sedate and honest as they don’t bother and if they vote, it’s only once....

Thatta way FOX, you imbeciles.....

He needs to be much better prepared next time, I don’t care how he plans to make that happen. He needs to speak in complete sentances, make your point, “make the sale”, then STOP TALKING!

What I saw in the first 30 minutes, was that Donald was already overtalking, some may have called it filabustering or trying to run out the clock. Don’t try running out the clock till the last third of the debate.
Some may interpret run on talking as a speaker trying to convince himself of his own argument.

Other than we, who want red meat for entertainment and revenge on her, that’s the wrong approach.
He isn’t trying to show how much he can attack her. He is projecting strength, and swatting her away like a gnat.

She looked like a Chihuahua barking at him, and he simply swatted her away with the amount of power needed and no more.
He’s smart and just watch election day.

You bring up a good point. Maybe this is what was going on.

That’s my take. He already showed us he isn’t a wimp. And we know he’s smart and knocked off a lot of people to get here.
I’m just gonna roll with it.

Too bad you fell for that one [on-line polls Freeped] , hook line and sinker.

I didn't necessarily fall for it. I was just reporting it. But as others pointed out, it undoubtedly was a factor.

Re-watch the first 45 minutes of the debate. It’s Trump lecturing Hillary and everyone on how the world works and how the bought AND paid for politicians are selling out America and companies are leaving, the FED being political and keeping interest rates near zero creating this bubble stock market and bubble (fake) economy , what politicians like Hillary really are (corrupt bought and paid for you know what)etc.

What did Hillary have a pornstar’s word that he called her miss piggy . That’s why we should elect a lying corrupt politician who is really a communist called Hillary Clinton? Hell no. That’s winning a debate?

Trump is one in a Trillion. He knows more than anyone about how the world works

Trump destroyed the communist Hillary in the debate

Hillary Clinton is a communist from the 1960’s. If Trump can win he’ll save America from communism.

Oh come on. The questions asked by Lester Holt should have been easy for him to deflect. Stead he accepted the promise of the questions and got on the defensive.
For example....Holt asked him about his support/non support of the Iraq War.
His answer should have been something along the line of.....I was a private citizen and had absolutely no say whether we went to Iraq or not. The politicians like Hillary didn’t care about my opinion and I didn’t vote for it, Hillary did. The better question would be to her about why she voted to go into Iraq and then later changed her mind and refused to support it. She left our brace young men in the military hanging without support.

Block and deflect. Block and deflect. Sooooo easy to do with her since there’s so much to work with.

Unmoved by harsh debate reviews, a defiant Donald Trump showed no sign Wednesday of embracing any big changes before his second faceoff with Hillary Clinton

LoL. This is taking advice from the enemy. You don't listen to these morons. Don't be a fool.

Trump didn’t make any gaffes , he talked about what he knew and had some great lines, the you haven’t done anything in 30 years , the NAFTA is the worst deal ever and Bill Clinton signed NAFTA. He’s awesome

The media and Hillary wanted to get him to lose his temper or attack Hillary so they can then make him out to be a bully. I want to hear what Trump will do .

All the media has from the debate is the word of a pornstar. LOL. they wanted “your’e no JFK momenet” to keep replaying . Trump won

Trump won.

You get up there with a corrupt referee Lester Holt and Hillary and 30 seconds see how you do.

I learned more in that 30 minutes of Trump talking than from anywhere

The “issues” that Trump will be confronted with are not mysterious

What are they?

Donald Trump showed no sign Wednesday of embracing any big changes before his second faceoff with Hillary Clinton, pressing ahead with a strategy focused on speaking directly to his white working-class loyalists

Right. No bias here folks.
