First presidential debate - September 26: Trump vs Hillary

[Dug]

What's interesting is, the media really gets to spin it and tell everyone who won. CNN has gone hard for Hillary. I think before the media did that people would have said Trump.

Lol in what reality? Clinton was so much more calm and collected and he just ranted and raved, kept talking over the moderator and interrupting Clinton. Presidential indeed

[Espe]

Yeah I mean, is Trump on his death bed? I'm pretty sure I can see a catheter on his leg and a colostomy bag!

Exactly my point. There are a lot of questions that need to be asked now about his fitness. Is he even capable of continuing on while dealing with all of these obvious mental and physical health issues?

...which one is you, handing out the Popcorn?

Lots of people are posting under that article that he lost. If even some Breitbart Trumpists are admitting he lost then you know he lost really really badly.

Thank you for voting!
Donald Trump 75.32% (69,370 votes)
Hillary Clinton 24.68% (22,727 votes)
Total Votes: 92,097

And you have no way of knowing who the people voting are supporting.

I voted Hillary just to see if it actually counted my vote, and yes it did.

I get the feeling that Donakds Campaign has repeatedly tried to sit him down and get him solid on the issues and practice for the debate but he just refused to prepare and it essentially became Sarah Palin 2.0.

My suspicion is that DJT reads every headline on Drudge. I know 60+ aged people who sound just like him. All he says is bits of factoids that stir up white panic. But he never reads the linked article so he doesn't know how the story ends. The longer he gets to talk, to more evident it is he doesn't understand the topic.

Sarah Palin is still worse though, let's be honest here.

I'm sure they would have been thrilled if he put is as much effort as Palin did.

The moderator and his questions were extremely biased against Trump, seriously why can't we have a normal unbiased debate, msnbc and cnn are a disgrace

Aww, Trump supporter got his little feelers hurt because Trump is shit at debates? So blame the fucking moderation instead of Trump for being shit. That will work right?

None are me :3 that is le point.

[TrumpIsPresident]

Yea, that thing we're always blasting politicians for not doing.

Its about knowing when you're being sold a pack of lies.

What planet are you living on? Did you even watch the debate?

[Lenonis]

Lots of punditry is stating Trump came out worst for wear tonight.

I think the most salient point on the debate is Trump and Clinton didn't say much to sway those undecided before this debate.

I know I'm not unbiased, but I really can't see how people would think Trump outperformed Clinton. Unless it's some weird metric.

Clinton looked more composed. Hell, she looked healthier than him.

Clinton gave more composed and clear answers.

Clinton didn't interrupt or get into with the moderator.

We'll have to see what the fact checkers say but Trump told a couple of blatant lies about what he's said in the past. I mean...whoppers. And a few comments that didn't flat out make any sense.

From a policy perspective I don't think Trump's approach of pushing trickle down economics, law and order, stop and frisk, and the like are going to have appear outside his base and he absolutely needs to expand it.

I'm open to hearing why people think Trump won, but you have to have something of substance when it comes to analysis of what happened and how they acted...

[mvaliz]

It's so obvious but can be so subtle in spoken conversation. He might not even realize it at the time but after he'd finally hear it and go full rage mode.

oh no... I think you're right... he, of all people, would INSTANTLY notice it! That's the beauty of it. ^_^

Normal people known as "humans", however, wouldn't. :P

[TrumpIsPresident]

Smart people think issues over and sometimes change their minds. Stupid people stick to their beliefs for the rest of their lives, and believe that others do the same, unless it is politically inconvenient.

Exactly. That's what I said.

[Espe]

He is also a straight up liar too. He has been caught lying several times and yet hasn't lost moderator status.

That's... nuts. Hopefully the other mods take care of it I guess.

[Celista]

Highlights of the night...

Trump sounding like he has a substance abuse disorder.
Clinton: "At least I have a PLAN for ISIS."
Trump getting some points for pounding Clinton on TPP.
Clinton: "Trump-ed up, trickle down".
Trump: "That's because I'm smart", LOL.
Clinton: "We cannot just say, 'law and order' (in regards to racial tension)".
Trump: "I got [Obama] to produce his birth certificate and I think I did a good job of it" (fucking lol).
Clinton: "Well...just listen to what you heard (re: Trump blathering on about Obama)...remember that Trump started his career being sued for racial discrimination, back in the 1970s".
Trump: "That is the true way I feel", he sounded like he was genuinely sincere there.
Trump: "Blah blah blah SEAN HANNITY", who the fuck cares about Sean Hannity? Wtf is this?
Trump: "I have a much better temperament than Clinton". "I have a winning temperament, I know how to win". "Secretary Clinton, you are totally out of control."
Clinton: "To be taunted is not the right temperament for being Commander in Chief".
Clinton: "A man who can be provoked via a Tweet should not have access to nuclear codes".
Trump: "We can't be America: World Police."
Clinton: Lol, "stamina".
Clinton completely decimating Trump over a Latina beauty pageant contestant.
Trump: "She's not nice". Really?

Overall Trump did much better than expected, although Clinton ended on a strong note. If I had to choose a winner, it was Hillary.

CNN is clearly of the opinion that Hillary won, but they are going rather soft on Trump.

[Orbitus]

To be fair, Lester was harder on Trump than Clinton. Kind of fair, though, given the last event.

And Trump looked seriously unhinged a few times there, especially at the beginning.

Also, "the cyber?" "The nuclear?" Seriously, is Trump so lacking in vocabulary that he doesn't know basic terminology?

Don't forget "Bigly", a word that I haven't heard since I was 10 when people made up words.

[May90]

Aww, Trump supporter got his little feelers hurt because Trump is shit at debates? So blame the fucking moderation instead of Trump for being shit. That will work right?

Trump even screamed at the mod. That might just have been the first time in the presidential debate history for it to happen...

Exactly. That's what I said.

Wow... You really are weed at reading comprehension, aren't ya?

[Reeve]

The biggest thing that came up tonight for me was:

"That wouldn't have started a war."

If you want any more evidence that it's dangerous to give Trump control of our military, there you go.
