Trump before the debate was losing Independents. If he can stop the losses of Independents or reverse that then that is the win from this debate.

Folly and fakery have always been with us... but it has never before been as dangerous as it is now, never in history have we been able to afford it less. - Isaac Asimov
Every damn thing you do in this life, you pay for. - Edith Piaf
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. - Orwell
No amount of belief makes something a fact. - James Randi
On balance though, he did manage to get Hillary on the defensive giving choppy, awkward answers to questions that should have been settled a long time ago. And both she and the moderators seemed to fixate on fact-checking Trump when he's shown himself to be immune to fact-based logic for some time now, and as fucked up as that might be, there's no sense in going down that road on someone who simply doesn't react to his lies being exposed.
All human beings have a short term memory with limited storage.
That is why people remember the last half of the debate more better than the first half. That is why watching the debate a 2nd and 3rd time will eventually store all of the debate in the long term memory storage of the human brain.
Repetition has been used to teach children something long term for a long time as well as human adults.
@May90 I realize that I don't quote respond you often but it's because I agree with you almost all of the time.
Yeah agreed. It was nowhere near a tie.
To be honest they both deflected an obscene amount going on tangents into space that made the entire thing a waste of time with nothing solid.
The only thing these debates are good for is to see who has better posturing and who can say the least amount of absolute crap in their deflection response.
Let's say person B wins in the personality context, but loses in the debate context. Debate should be a contest of positions, not a contest of personalities, in my opinion. You don't score something just for appearing a good reasonable guy/girl, you also should appear someone who can give a coherent answer to a question.
It is mutual. *hugs*
Due to him threatening to use the government to jail his political opponents the GOP better beware because he is the vengeance chaos president.
