I now know what people meant when they kept bringing up "both sides"

"Both sides" of that crowd laughed when Trump talked aboust his winning temperament
 
Didn't expect this outcome at all. Somehow Trump managed to come out on top at times by just ranting, going off topic and shouting. Hillary was really rattled/shook at some point.

I think fortunately for her she managed to turn the tide around with the race question and the nuclear one. Though this debate really was more about Trump than it was America somehow, he managed to put himself in the center of things.

Hillary was much better prepared, she should have dismantled Trump but she didn't quite manage to do that. First half to Trump, second half to Clinton I'd say.

I was concerned at the start, Trump had the first third (even if he was saying absolutely nothing coherent, he was selling himself well) but he got destroyed by Hilary (and himself) after that, starting with the Tax answer.

Clinton didn't really do anything.

Trump sounded as dopey as Trump always is.

It almost didn't feel like a real debate.

Trump was eviscerated. He couldn't stop talking about things that are completely wrong. Admitted to tax evasion, didn't give any kind of answer on birtherism, even poked at Rosie for no fucking reason.
Doesn't matter. None of that matters to Trump supporters.

I'm not american but I think he was godawful all the way. Just constant hyperboles, "we are the worst EVER at (insert whatever the topic is). THE WORST EVER. It's unbelievable!"

I don't know what people see in the start of the debate to even think they were close.

They both played it fairly safe-ish, and each person's supporters think the other person won. And they both agree the moderator sucks. Pretty much how I thought it would go. We'll see what the undecideds have to say about it in the next few days.
Trump played it safe? Um... I guess it was pretty restrained of him not to mouth the word "cunt" while Hillary was busy describing coherent policies.

By the end, Hillary was just looking at the camera, pleading to the audience, her eyes saying "look at the shit I've got to put up with".
 
I guarandamn tee you Trump will say that Hilary was interrupting him the whole night, Lester wasn't giving him enough time to talk. Bank on it. This fucker always turns around what he gets criticized for on others, like clockwork.

This was still an embarrassing debate for our country. We should just be able to broadcast this in our country, we can't let the world see us like this.

Trump really did come out of the gate hard but fell on his face 20 mins in. Devolved into incoherence. Anyone undediceded is not going right.
