Debate Night!

And I did notice the moderators telling the crowd to shut up when they were applauding for him but not when they were planning for the hildebeest.
WSS
This is false and I can only imagine the result of selective memory. They definitely said it in regards to both sets of supporters.

There's always the possibility my memory could be faulty but I don't think so in this case.
The moderators admonished the crowd not to cheer and scolded the Trump supporters when they did. It occurs to me they are wet the rare applause for Hillary go unchecked.
And Martha Radisson did certainly bicker with Trump but did not bicker with Hillary.
That's not her job. If there are counterpoints to be made that's Hillary's job not the moderators.

Lol, that is real

Woody, jrb, your thoughts on my take?
Woody, jrb, your thoughts on my take?
TBH between boarding windows, evacuating, dodging a hurricane, and drinking like a fish for four days I straight up fell asleep at 8 o clock or so. I've found the best source of information for this election has been fivethirtyeight, who I'd defer to the most. This is the same group btw who had the race at a dead heat prior to the 1st debate. Anyway, his reaction is here:
Basically, Hilldawg still "won" the scientific polls albeit by a close margin. Nate concludes it's fair to call the debate a draw, but Trump needed a lot more than a draw to get past this latest gaffe. Also, since I've seen you and others say it-many polls have not taken into account the damage of those comments based when the polls are conducted. As I said before, that was a monumental shot at his chances.

Trump did what he had to do in that debate. He addressed the 11 year old video but did not let that be the dominant topic of the whole debate. He is a quick learner who has learned to pivot from debate questions that put him on defense and turn the question around on Clinton. I felt he had to score a homerun last night and I give it to him. He put in perspective some "locker room talk" versus actual words and deeds by the Clintons and that there are more important issues to deal with in this election.
Trump was in some real danger here with the spineless RINO defections over the 11 year old video and my guess is that will stop now with his debate performance.
Going into the debate the future looked bleak for Trump IMO...he was up against the well funded Clinton machine, a biased MSM and biased moderators and the icing on the cake were the establishment RINO's jumping ship (who I think some are going to have egg on their face today for being a little too hasty).

After watching the debate, I just hope that whoever wins is a single-term president. Both of these candidates are garbage.

Lol, "scientific" polls and 538. Clearly biased article. In reality people loved the Trump special prosecutor idea, people want Washington held accountable.
Trump scored big by redirecting the debate to talk about actions instead of words. Hildebeast had to lie about supporting changes to the tax code. Hildebeast also tried to lie again about starting the birther movement.
:neutral_face: -
I haven't heard much talk about this but I think Trump made a huge appeal to disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters in the debate. Even if he cannot get them on board to vote for him maybe he can get them upset enough with the shenanigans of Debbie Wasserman Schultze and the DNC where they will either stay home or vote for a third party candidate like Johnson?
-
Clinton had a bad night, no other way to spin it.
"When you go low we go high" is a nice memorized line that they reported she'd use before the debate, but she couldn't answer any of the questions ( c )riticizing her.

I agree. Anything that doesn't show glowing support of Trump is a biased, MSM, liberal elitist article. ....
"People" loved it, sure. But probably not enough of them to win an election

CNN was caught coaching their focus group, I think there's some bias there.
Trump won, he's the one you remember. He had a great recovery.

Being the "one you remember" isn't necessarily a good thing.
The 538 article made a good point. Trump's expectations were much, much lower going into this debate. He probably exceeded, so he did a good job. That doesn't mean he won though.

I liked when Trump destroyed Clinton here
When asked on her statement about having a public/private position on policy she said it's like Abe Lincoln and the 13th amendment.
Then went on to talk about wikileaks and the Russian boogeyman
But Trump destroyed her in response, also Hillary validated the authenticity of the podesta emails - not that there was any doubt (podesta himself suggested they were fake)
-
I like when he said he'd answer the phone at 3am when Benghazi 2 happens because he's already up shit posting and tweeting about sex tapes at 3am now.
I remembered that line, so I guess Trump won. Right?

Sounds good to me, and the tweet was about Machado's criminal past not just a sex tape.
Clinton did nothing except bring out the Russian boogeyman and dodged questions, don't see how she won.
-
Oh, right. He said all of those other things in his tweets at 3am. Not just the sex tape part.
If it was just the sex tape it wouldn't be very presidential, but all of that other stuff saved it...

higgardly's "you go low, we go high" is laughable, even to inner city life long dems.
Seriously, look at the low blow commercials that are all out on the tv. Trump didn't "go low"
in the first debate - SHE DID. hahahaha.
that's so funny.
anyways, Trump got his important message out about different subjects, and put her on the defensive is
a very serious way, and she completely fumbled it. Trump has made an ass of himself in the past, etc.
But higgardly IS always an ass, and made an ass of herself in this second debate. Why? Her famous nervous
clown grin is worse than fake - honest observers surely notice it's a knee jerk reaction and wonder "what's wrong with her
with all the smiling at every tough question, every tough statement. what was funny there?"
I really wanted Benghazi and the four dead Americans being brought up. crap. Why cant the mods ask her that
question? Like "higgardly, you said nobody died in libya, yet 4 Americans did, you publicly blamed it on a video, but now we
find out you said behind the scenes you said it was terrorism, then in front of Congress you said "at this point, what difference
does it make?". Higgardly, when Americans die overseas, why do you think it makes no difference?"
Anyways, Trump started off slowly, and as higgardly kept stepping in it, he started putting higgardly deservedly on
the defensive, and she fumbled the ball and crapped on every question put to her.
She didn't even try to justify her deletion of all those emails. She was toast at this debate.
BTW, I think it's dumb to quibble over biased opinion polls that show Trump won signiicantly, and then
back up that assertion about biased polls by bringing in CNN polls. That's just so shockingly silly it's laughable.
