Did you watch tonight's debate? Who do you think won this debate?
-
I didn't watch it. I hope Hillary won.
-
I did not watch the debate. Things like that just infuriates me.
-
I didn't watch, but social media and the internet tells me it was Hillary
-
I think Hillary won, Trump is a little over the top with his temper.
-
Clinton won. Trump was actually doing well at the start but once the "birther" question came in, he failed miserably.
-
Hillary won, hands down. :)
-
it doesn't matter. If you want a job and have less taxes you vote for trump, if you like welfare and don't want to work you vote for killary. And if you would like the united states to all be drug addicts, you vote for gary Johnson.

CNN claims Clinton won hands down. Fox claims that Trump won hands down. So much for using the polls to say who won.... I actually thought both did what they wanted to do for this first debate. Hillary had to show that she was strong and had stamina to hold her own. Trump had to show that he wouldn't go flying off the handle, so to speak, and that he wasn't sexist or racist (wouldn't "*bleep*" Clinton up too much so that his detractors could show him being a sexist bully).
The one thing that really upset me was how communist both sounded.... Hillary went full-fledged communist, talking about having businesses share profits, etc. Trump went commie in his trade discussions, like making businesses stay in the US.
I was also upset that both agreed with the gun-ban for people on the no-fly list.... There is no proper vetting / due process for the people on the no-fly list: no trial where people getting their names put on the list can argue their case, no checks by the other houses of government, and no accountability when people are errantly placed on the list. We have had US citizens that have been accidentally placed on the list, some being quite well known, like the singer Cat Stevens and even Senator Ted Kennedy. As well as many people that have common names (that are often used as terrorist aliases) such as Robert Johnson. To make matters worse, it is extremely difficult to remove your name if it had been placed on the list in error; if a person goes through the process to try to get their name removed, the most that they get told is that the government has processed their request, but not indicating what resolution occurred: whether the person wasn't actually on the list, whether the person's name was removed, or even if the government decided to keep the name on the list after all. And now the politicians want to use that error-prone system to further restrict US citizens' rights without any due process by taking away their guns.... I'd just hope that whoever becomes president will be the first one to try to take the gun away from Lt. Col. Robert J. Johnson from the US Army because he just happened to have the same name as a Toronto terrorist.

Nobody and we are in big trouble
-
i watched and believe Hilary won.If you like Donald then you'd believe he won. So get to Nov 8th and get this over with.
-
I read about it. Trump did'nt listen and over talked Hilery and Hilery didn't answer Yrump
-
If I were Trump I certainly wouldn't have admitted to shifting my employees and taxes.
-
who cares? I didnt watch it, nor will I be voting, I dont care for either one
-
Trump won. He didn't play Lester's games and when he had something to say, he didn't let Lester or Hilly interrupt him. As usual, Hil had her "ear piece" in and was being fed her answers since she can't remember what to say anymore due to her dementia. Main stream media's still playing the game saying that Hilly won but, if you go look at any poll out there, it's pretty clear the people chose Trump.
-
I also admit it was fun watching Trump bury himself, it answer to the Housing Crisis was sad and pitiful.
-
Trump won on the issues, but he really didn't go for the knock out punch. It wasn't any easier with his having to debate not only Clinton, but Holt as well. Trump could've buried her on her scandals if he chose to, but I think he feared coming across too abrasive.
-
Nobody won last night because none of the questions were on the issues everyone wants to hear the solutions.
Lester Holt was ginned up on being a very honest and trustworthy journalist but he was an absolute FAILURE last night. He had NO control over the time limits. Trump interruptions were a no-no, yet he wasn't stopped.
Hillary did stay more cool and collected than Trump. Trump showed his inexperience in debating. He still thinks its only a campaign rally instead of a serious debate. He better bone up for the next one or he'll be done. He should start watching former debates to see how he should show dignity and respect. There was none last night.
I could only get through a half hour and I had to turn it off. It was a nothing more than a circus and the clowns were all 3 of them.
-
I watched and even though I don't care for either I guess I would have to say Hillary won.
-
I also want to know. Hopefully we will get a good election.
-
i didnt watch it or care who won the derbate
-
Hillary won, Trump was too unpresidential, was had horrible temperment and couldn't stay on message.
-
I watched it and I feel that Hillary won. Trump started out well but as the debate went on he was all over the place, often straying way off topic.
-
Nobody won hands down, it was fairly even it's not a sports game and the moderator was lame and didn't ask the tough questions, but they will be asked in the next debates for sure and Trump won't hold back and be a nice guy like some of you think he wasn't, pay attention, he was in total control of his temperment geez. Go Trump yeah that's right go Trump :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 8)
-
Honestly I don't think anyone has won. Both candidates clearly show they flip-flop on issues, hypocrites, and have things to hide. Most of their arguing points have been already made before (since primaries, tweets, or interviews).
-
I only watched part of it
-
Holt stayed away from the "tough questions" like the plague when it came to Hillary. With Trump on the other hand, he brought up every topic under the sun.
If Hillary was at all successful, it was in how she kept Trump on Defense (with Holt's help). Trump should've hammered her on her corruption.
-
I only watched part of the debate. According to the polls online, most voters claim Hillary won the debate.
-
I didn't watch, but social media and the internet tells me it was Hillary
Same thoughts exactly!
-
It really doesn't matter who won. It really doesn't matter who you vote for. The election has already been won by Hillary. The American people do not get a voice in our "democracy"
-
It doesn't matter who won,it is matter who will win in November.
-
Hillary won!
-
I was not impressed by either in the debate. The fact checkers were enlightening though. Accordingly, I would say that Hilarynmade fewer untrue statements.
-
Hard to say who won, as they are both toxic.
I am sure of one thing....who lost the debate. The American public lost.
We don't have a candidate who is for the Constitution, the rule of law, or the citizens of this country.
Each is for themselves. Very sad how far we have come .... down.
:rose:
-
Still voting for Trump despite the debate overall.
-
This year is weird, but I think the less wacky is Clinton.
-
I thought Trump was winning in the first half hour, but changed my mind after that. Hillary seemed much better prepared overall.
-
Hands down, Hillary Clinton emerged the victor from the first debate. While Clinton maintained her focus on the real issues plaguing this country (as is the damn objective of any presidential debate), Donald Trump continues to embarrass himself and his flock of supporters with his inane, petulant behavior. I am gravely concerned if this moron becomes the President...as if this country isn't as fractured and divisive enough.
-
According to the news, Trump avoided answering 4 questions. When he did answer a question they had the "fact checker" activated and called him on his answer about stop and frisk and racial profiling. For a moment Trump was in a debate with Lester.
Also, Trump announced that he could have done better if his microphone was working.
Anyone who says Trump won the debate - wasn't watching the same debate I was. :heart:
