She is a criminal!
 
Trump exceeded expectations by not abjectly melting down and not letting HRC get under his skin.
 
as a neutral observer I say Trump won this round.. although talking good about Lincoln didn't help my opinion of him :eek::rolleyes::cool::toady:

VOTE FOR DARRELL CASTLE!
 
For serious Internet stuff!

I actually thought the debate was better than I expected. After video proof revealed that Trump is the moral cesspool that everyone except his most die-hard supporters knew all along, I expected most the debate to be framed around getting under his skin, just like the last one. Luckily for him, he seems to have finally realized that by going after Hillary, he's sheilding himself from that kind of personal scrutiny. Instead of trying to convince everyone he's a decent human being, he's going the path of making Hillary look much worse than him. This is probably the best strategy he could have played, and it was good.

Ultimately, I thought he did very well last night, unlike that first debate. Whereas Hillary came across as professional and diplomatic, in this debate she just looked stiff and robotic.

When it comes to actual substance, my stance is unchanged: both of these people are awful and neither is fit to be POTUS. I'm not just speaking about their personalities or poor records, but about their actual policies. Neither one of them was particularly strong one way or the other.
 
Somewhere in the first 30 minutes he called Clinton the devil and said he would prosecute her. It was pretty LOL. The second half was just them making false claims about each other and the moderators arguing with Trump.

That threat of prosecution still rubs me the wrong way. It just feels like an bad precedent to set. Would have been more effective to press the issue that Hillary has been above the law, and go through a laundry list of her crimes. Also bring up people who have been punished for the same things, like Petraeus and the NSA employee who was recently arrested for taking work home.

Once on the subject of "above the law", a good candidate could also talk about uneven justice in a broader sense, and potentially appeal to a greater audience. Rand-style. ;)
 
Didn't watch it and don't have plans to, but I would've tuned in immediately if Killary had showed up in an orange pantjumpsuit.
 
Neither was able to swing any new voters in either direction. Trump was kinda creepy they way he was following around and frowning and leering behind Clinton while she was speaking. She lost points on the Lincoln thing. Trump avoided answering most of the real questions he was given. She was very calculated in her responses.
