    The question is will as many people watch?

    The only thing you need to know about his policies is that they are going to be great.

    Considering tonight's conflict with NFL, I say there might be. Unless they schedule it against another NFL game.

    We learned that the inner cities don't have a horrible crime problem because they are a place of wonderful culture and churches. So, yes, we learned she wants to keep the inner city minorities victims of gangs and crime so they will need her to save them.

    She didn't say shit either. First half of the debate I thought Trump was actually decent. The second half? Hillary didn't really have to say anything because Trump just babbled on about nonsense and got to wild IMO.

    Considering the moderator just let Trump babble for 3x the amount of time Hillary got, no.

    TRUMP being Trump didn't learn anything about either and it was the exact joke I was expecting tonight. Moderator needs to be able to shut the fucking mic off and allow real answers not bullshit interjections. Trump looked like a child and Hilary had to do nothing

    To be fair, Lester Holt never threw any curve balls at her, the way Lauer did in that town hall. Quite a few of his questions immediately put Trump on the defensive, so he had to talk a lot. He didn't do that good of a job defending himself but that's another story.

    Absolutely right. Microphones should be controlled to be live only for the time allotted for a response to moderator's question then a reply from opponent for a designated time period.

    I'd also love to see a big red "X" and buzzer like Family Feud uses when a candidate strays from the topic but that's just me - I'd like to see the Jets in a Super Bowl again, too.

    Debate was godawful. The questions were terrible. Economy this, diplomacy that. None of the real issues were discussed. Not one mention of Harambe, the alarming dying rate of bees, the reptilian elite, or mole people. SMFH.

    Trump was at his worst when he was ranting and defending himself over the Obama birth certificate, tax/auditing and mainly the war on Iraq. Wow he totally lost it there.

    Just watch that segment Hillary was just gushing on her face with a big smile over the mess.

    He doesnt know how to handle the retaliation at all.

    He almost lost it when she called him out on stiffing employees and contractors at his many businesses and projects. That was when he came closest to blowing up but knew he could not and just sputtered something about the architect doing lousy work.

    How about the part where she called him out for being sued by the feds for institutional racism in the 90's for not letting blacks rent in his apartments...In turn he said first that case was against many people and he voluntarily settled.....he starts his answer by saying he voluntarily settled the case instead of saying he is not a racist.

    Damn he cant handle the aggression. He started off quite good on trade deals then just tail spinned after that...He basically came off as a complainer and whiner while saying he has great temperment.

    Of course not. He probably won't in the next two either. He's not there to win an election, he's there to make it believable that Hillary can.

    Sad but true....... nothing really changed after watching that.

    She's still a lying cog of the political machine...... he's still an idiot in way over his head :confused:

    they're both insultingly obvious liars. it's like they don't think we can go look up the lies they tell.

    It was like watching a press conference for the upcoming WWE championship match.

    Thats all she had to say though. Trump pissed all over himself in answering the question and rambled on about a bunch of nonsense. All she had to do was just not look like a complete jackass like he ended up doing, she pretty much avoided the question and looked like a genius in comparison.

    that race question was FOR trump. It was an easy layup. The guy is struggling with minorities, here the moderator is giving him a chance to speak to these people and improve his cause there and he can't cite a single thing that would help him in that community. Literally anything but what he said only helps him with minority voters. Instead talks about his "investments" and endorses stop and frisk, something the minority community hates. After he is reminded it was deemed unconstitutional then he rambles on about a judge being biased. what a fuckin idiot.

    Holt was quite partisan last night. He fact checked Trump several times, while letting her lie through her teeth every time.
