I hope Trump suffers in the polls.

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.

He prepared more than some expected, but he'll never avoid some bait regarding his wealth, his success, his record, etc.

Hillary clearly won, but I don't see how this really moved the needle for any undecided people. Who could possibly have been undecided up to this point?

Won't someone ask what Sean Hannity thinks? He never gets to talk about what he thinks. He doesn't have a platform. We should call Sean.

Trump got bodied. No doubt.

Baited and outsmarted.

You could see him trying to hold it back his nature, but he couldn't keep it contained.

Clinton didn't really do anything.

Trump sounded as dopey as Trump always is.

It almost didn't feel like a real debate.

She just let him hang himself. Early on when he was on message and hitting her hard....she just sat there and smiled. Waiting for him to implode. It worked.

Hillary started weak but improved as the debate went on and clearly won. Donald didn't have much to say and rambled as it went on but his stronger start and interrupting is going to be spun as a win by some circles.

I think people should lay off the moderator. I don't think anyone could have tamed Donald or at least expected that. Has a political candidate ever been that aggressive in interrupting and demanding to speak?

My favorite part was when he rambled on about all the horrible things he was going to say about Hillary but didn't.

Please applaud my restraint.

I'm so happy right now. I new Hillary would win (I was worried about her winning on a scale with an obvious curve), but this sounds fucking brutal. Got damm. gg Hill, gg.

Trump is pathetic lol. Constant interruptions, verbal diarrhea that just would not stop, thin skinned as fuck and just totally unpresidential. Enjoy that L, Donald.

Yep. She just let him expose himself to the broad public as an ignorant asshole. He has been doing this for awhile

I thought Lester Holt was fine. His questions were very good, and while he didn't keep Trump on task I think that is absolutely impossible. He fact checked a few times on important points.

Hilary Clinton was clearly nervous on the first question and seemed rehearsed. After that first 2 minutes I thought she did great.

Trump was a fucking disaster that only got worse as the debate went along.

Me: "Jesus, Hillary looked professional and like an adult while Trump just kept saying Wrong and Wrong over her."

Some of my coworkers tomorrow: "Did you see the debate?! TRUMP TOTALLY PUT HILLARY IN HER PLACE!"

It don't matter.

None of this matters.

CNN LAUNCHES MANHUNT AFTER LESTER HOLT VANISHES FROM DEBATE

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (The Borowitz Report)—CNN launched an urgent manhunt Monday after Lester Holt, the moderator of the first Presidential debate of the 2016 general election, mysteriously vanished two minutes into the contest

Network officials became concerned after the two Presidential nominees, Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton, were observed shrieking at each other nonstop for ninety seconds without intervention from Holt.

I thought the moderator did a good job. There really isn't anything he could do to fact check Trump. If he had interfered it would have been him vs Trump. It looks much better for Hillary to be the one calling him out on his bullshit.

Trump started strong and seemed to have a message about bringing jobs back (his plan is bullshit, but it has a through line) then the racism question came up and he lost all his composure.

By the end he was all over the place. He upped the Iran amount from 100m dollars to 11 billion. And his general evasiveness to giving a straight answer should be his undoing.
