First presidential debate - September 26: Trump vs Hillary

[Mukki]

Except he's 100% factually correct. Stop being salty.

Do you understand what being a moderator entails?

It's not black or white, as with all things. I think he did he much better for the first part of the debate, but not as well in the 2nd half.

Personally I think he reeled it in during the 2nd half. The first half was an embarrassment of him being baited and ranting/interrupting but he finally composed himself for the most part. But in the closing statements he flubbed by not directly answering a pretty basic question and instead back tracking to other points that he already went over 100 times in the first half.

The best moments he had during the debate were when he had his mouth shut.

She needed to go on the aggressive at least once. Her passive approach seemed weak, especially when he was shouting and talking over her.

Apparently being a human egg timer and letting candidates for president straight up lie.

They're interviewing some Cuban guy on CNN. I don't get the...oh wait, that's Mark Cuban. Tune in and watch!

Yep have to agree. He was doing fine keeping himself in check during the first half. However he quickly lost it when he was asked about some of his scandals and did not know how to properly answer. It was a great thing to witness though. I specially loved when he doubled down on his lie about the Iraq war.

Think of how effective somebody who can out-spy the entire world's intelligence community in order to conduct secret business with Russia could do.

But ya, she bought the election.

A person bought an election in our "free nation".

America is basically just another 3rd world shit holy only our turds don't stink as bad.

She didn't buy the election.

Donald Trump forgot to fund raise. Forgot to campaign. Forgot to build a ground game.

Actually no. Let me correct myself.

Donald trump was advised by very knowledgable people to gain the money and the resources to build the infrastructure needed to WIN an election, but Donald Trump being a pathologically egotistical son of a bitch, as usual, ignored that advice.

When Hillary wins the election, it won't just be her beating Donald Trump. It will be Donald Trump beating Donald Trump. Because the mechanics of an election DO matter and Donald Trump is not above them.

Posing questions to be answered by the nominees, including major issues that have arisen about their candidacy, is absolutely the moderator's role.

If anything, he needed to be way more strict, particularly with Trump, who was flagrantly breaking the rules of the debate increasingly often as the debate went on. There needs to be a penalty for that kind of behaviour. Cut his mic, if he won't stop interrupting, and only turn it back on when you hand him back the floor.

Anyone have a link to the debate? I missed it because 6 hours of running mythic+.

Her approach to let Trump just ramble on and then just have a short and sweet retort worked really well for her this time.

Well, if the majority of people only paid attention to the first half hour, they would have seen a very strong Trump. The debate got incredibly boring after that, and I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people changed the channel.

I thought the zinger about her having experience, but bad experience was top notch.

"If you're a disinterested slackwit with no attention span Trump looked great!"

He pointed out her experience as first lady, senator, and secretary state. What exactly has she achieved so far? What difference is she going to make in oval office?

That....has nothing to do with the debate. I'm not asking who is the better candidate but who performed better in the debate.

[alexw]

Your boy fucked up tonight, he better sit down and actually practice next time or you are going to be looking at Pres. Clinton again.

I wonder if he will now actually sit down and try to learn policy? Has he learn't his lesson? Or is he going to continue being stupid Trump?

He did fine. How well the debate went for each candidate depends on who you ask. In my opinion it was basically a tie. He did nothing to sway any of those who support him now and she did nothing to win over any of those who are hesitate to vote for her in the first place.

Gotta agree on this one - although it was somewhat childish, IMO.

You think he'll change his gameplan?
