I’m not a pollyanna and I’m not in love with Trump.

But really, huge win for Hillary, terrible performance from Trump? I don’t see it.

I certainly don’t see it as a big victory for Trump either but he did fine, C+. It was his first one on one debate ever.

We’ll see what polls say a few days from now, that’s how you tell what impact it had, not instapolls and not spin from beltway people.

Can you believe the questions that were asked?

So many attack questions to Trump...none to his opponent.
Today I prayed that people could see that Hillary obviously was not trusted to receive any hard questions.

REALLY? Ask Trump about his tax returns...and not ask Hillary about her scandals?

Ask Trump about something he said about Hillary...about her not looking presidential...and then giving Hillary a chance to lift herself up? That seemed so rigged...and planned...like she had the question before hand.

What about asking Hillary about negative things she has said about Trump and letting him respond?

Today’s proclamations of a resounding Hillary win are intended for those who didn’t watch the debate.

Presidential debates are scored much different than classical debates. You score a Presidential debate in the week following it- who has the better spin doctors, what back-stories and fact-checks come out afterwards, and who made a better emotional connection is much more important than any "gotcha" points.

My first impression of the debate was that Hillary won on points, but that Donald Trump didn't do anything to ruin his Presidency.

What we've found out is that Hillary was fed questions and that Lester Holt was more intent on getting invited back to summers in the Hamptons rather than that Racist, Sexist, Homophobic "Journalist Integrity". We saw that Donald Trump actually took the fight to Hillary (Jeb would've been curled up in a fetal ball whimpering).

for the next two debates, Trump is only going to get better. I'm sure he'll see where he could've done better (mentioning Benghazi, the women Hillary has destroyed, and further attacking her lack of stamina).

Scott Adams may be right. He predicted Trump winning 65-35.
