I just watched the debate on replay. Trump won bigly. This one wasn’t close. And keep in mind that I called Clinton the winner of the first debate, and I now endorse Gary Johnson, primarily to avoid being called an alleged enabler of alleged sex abusers and their alleged enablers. That basket of deplorables includes both Bill and Hillary Clinton (the alleged doer and the alleged cleaner-upper) plus Trump and his alleged misdeeds.
Some quick reactions…
1. When the Access Hollywood tape came up, Trump dismissed it as locker room banter that he regrets. You expected that part. The persuasion move was that he quickly contrasted that “small” issue with images of ISIS beheadings, and cage-drownings. It was a high ground maneuver, a powerful visual anchor (like the Rosie O’Donnell move from his first primary debate), and a contrast play. In this framing, Trump cares about saving your life while Clinton cares about your choice of words. I realize the issue is Trump’s alleged deeds, not his words. But in terms of debate persuasion, Trump nailed it hard.
2. Clinton’s body language was defensive. Trump is physically larger and prowled the stage. He won the optics. It only got worse when a fly landed on Clinton’s face

Low point of the debate when the blonde hag moderator flat out argued with Trump for the better part of a minute. No bias there.
Scott Adams used that word “bigly.”
He thinks Trump won and Hillary looked rattled all night.
Trump won the election - and oh - they love him in Switzerland.
Adams says Trump wants America to be more like Switzerland.
Good observation.
“It only got worse when a fly landed on Clinton’s face”
Well flies are drawn to shite.
Tongue in cheek. Adams will vote for Trump.
It figures...
It figures...
Hillary looked like a short fat waddling PENGUIN!
It figures a fly would find Clinton. She’s a walking corpse.
And the gun ownership in Switzerland is 100% for adult males. That’s their militia. Yet crime is low.
Here are the two most-telling statements in Adams' piece that are not about the debate, directly, anyway. Summing up the first, there is a price to be paid for diversity of a population and the "enriched" culture that is so widely praised as a be-all, end-all. Homogenous cultures are more settled because there is a common set of social mores that breaks down as a culture becomes more diverse.
The second statement supports the first in two ways. First, it's not the hardware that's the problem. Second, a homogenous population provides broad support at the individual level on bedrock issues, like national security. The Swiss managed to avoid all the Euro-foolishness that marked the 20th Century because they did not sway from a Swiss-centric approach to engaging other countries.
Honestly, this.
Just this.
” It only got worse when a fly landed on Clinton’s face”
ROFLMAO
I mentioned that earlier.
Who in Hell dresses her?
They must have been really ticked at her, tonight.
How do we know it did not emerge from her?
I’m surprised the libs are not accusing Trump of siccing it on her, himself.
At points it was clear to everyone Trump was debating the Moderators and he called them on it in real time. THAT is how it is done. He prodded them repeatedly. He SHAMED them. And THAT is going to leave a mark.
Actually I am surprised they tried to be as fair as they did but it seemed to me about a third in the mods smelled the blood in the water and turned on Clinton just a bit. At one point she was on her heels, pausing, almost to the point of drawing a blank.
You mean in a $15,000 bathrobe?
Yeah, who dresses that way? She looked weird.
Hahahajajsjhaha!
