Trump's coke sniffs drove my wife out of the room lol. Good jorb, Hillary. Killed it. Now to listen to Diamond City Radio instead of dumb pundits. Goodnight. I love you, Lester Holt.

Hillary at the end of the debate:

 

[watershed]

Frank Luntz's focus group went to Hillary 16 to 6. Media isn't going to change their turn tomorrow morning.

Lol Luntz didn't bother to put the fix in?

Thats actually how it looked for the most part, I see it more 60/40 Clinton. Donald didnt do great but he didnt crash and burn like some people here seem to think.

Trump absolutely crashed completely after the first 15 minutes. He fell apart, came across as low energy, rambling, unfocused. His answers were terrible, irrelevant and full of lies. He interrupted everyone and argued with the moderator. He said terrible things about not paying people, how a woman deserved it when he called her a pig, and completely fumbled when asked about his discrimination lawsuit.

How was his performance anything but a total crash and burn. He came totally unhinged.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Nicole is heaping praise on Clinton. OMG.

I kinda like Nichole. I don't agree with her often, but she's smart.

 

[RustyNails]

Smercormish has a matte finish head

I want to rub my palms on it.

His beard game is on fleek though.

 

[User 463088]

They actually gave her the win!?
OH MY GOD.

 

[Effect]

I can certainly sleep well tonight! I feel foolish for being so concerned. Hillary forgive me.

 

[Debirudog]

LOL, okay, STFU Nate

Nate Silver @NateSilver538
Good news for Democrats: Really hard to see how that debate helped Trump.
Bad news: If it somehow did help Trump, maybe no stopping him?

Lol fuck Nate Trash.

 

[HylianTom]

I think Holt was mostly fine.

I'm relieved that Clinton didn't cough.

I'm glad that Clinton kept her email answer short and didn't dwell on it.

I'd bet that many soft Clinton supporters are going to be coming home, and the gender gap will be quite healthy.

A good night. Such a relief.

 

[Brawndo Addict]

I really wish Hillary had retorted with "OUR President" after that "your President" comment by Trump. It happened so fast though I can understand why she didn't or didn't notice. I think that would have been a huge story/moment but maybe things truly are so partisan that it wouldn't matter.

 

[Fox318]

Friends that was an odd moment in American history.

I know some will complain about Lester but I think he did a fair job. It was an impossible and thankless job but ultimately the debate was about the candidates.

 

[Dominican Power]

Nicole is heaping praise on Clinton. OMG.

She's full of shit. All these conservatives stay downplaying how shitty Trump is.

 

[Veelk]

I think he actually ran out of gas. He had a strong first 10 minutes and literally ran out of gas.

I did notice that he seemed to have less energy in the second half of the debate. He was all fury after y the first ten minutes, and then he was just resigned.

How do people think Lester Holt did on moderation?

He was okay in some instances, but he needed to call out Trump's bullshit way more often. Why the fuck did he allow Trump to go on for like 4 minutes in his 2 minute answer.

 

[Y2Kev]

Trash Nate.

 

[Plinko]

The best indication that Trump lost badly is that the pro-Trump media is melting down:



https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/780599513920708608

So Fox News resorts to basically "welp, she was ugly."

 

[Grexeno]

This really old guy on PBS is garbage

 

[Basileus777]

Trash Nate.

Trash is beginning to be generous.

Holt started slow.. But he pushed pretty hard on the bullshit later on.

 

[Wilsongt]

Oh fuck OFF Andrea Mitchell.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Lester Holt needed to grow more of a spine earlier on, so I put him as okay as a moderator.

 

[Frank the Great]

CNN panel is fucking slaying Trump now.

What a night.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Oh fuck OFF Andrea Mitchell.

She really does not like Hillary.

 

[lyrick]

Who is the sad man on PBS with the red tie?

 

[sphagnum]

Lol pol thinks other users on pol who think Trump lost are from CTR

If you still cared what Nate said ... you can stop now.

Nate just lost all credibility with that tweet

 

[Paskil]

I want to know if this helps her favorables.

 

[Boke1879]

She is going to fucking SLAY the Town hall debate.

God I can't wait, and she's about to be more visible this week as well. This could be a nice stretch for her.

Now you wonder how Trump reacts after this.

 

[nature boy]

Fox News (Megyn and Perino) giving Clinton the win.

 

[Basileus777]

Trump making an ass of himself in the after-show too.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

LMAO Trump just lied about what he said

 

[RustyNails]

TRUMP BOMBING AGAIN

 

[thepotatoman]

What is Fox News saying?

They seem to be trying to avoid talking about the debate too much. Still attacking hillary, but only with old talking points and not much energy.

I think the most reliable way to judge debate performance is by looking at how the other side is acting, and it seems like they know trump lost.

 

[Brinbe]

Trump still doesn't get it on the birth certificate lol.

CHUCK TODD IS A FUCKING HACK PUNDIT, JESUS CHRIST

 

[smokeandmirrors]

so we're confident with this debate

i need help

 

[Dan]

Wow. So Trump really is hanging around the spin room? So sad.

 

[Cyanity]

Fox News (Megyn and Perino) giving Clinton the win.

This has been a good night.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Bah, Trump going to spin room will suck all oxygen out of Clinton surrogates.

 

[Manmademan]

This really old guy on PBS is garbage

I'm not sure who is worse, him or brooks.

Both are complete clownshoes

 

[BlastProcessing]

Wait Trump is in the spin room himself!?

HOWISTHISPOSSIBLE?

 

[Poodlestrike]

NPR giving this to Clinton realllly handily. "Trump had a low bar to clear, and I don't think he even got over that."

 

[Crocodile]

Trump: "I'm proud I got the birth certificate produced"

That is the opposite of an apology. Why is he quadrupling down on this? Fuck him!

 

[Officerrob]

Outside of Trump pulling down his pants and shitting on stage, that went about a poorly as imaginable for Trump

 

[User 463088]

They're attacking his stamina.
Oh dear lord .

 

[Wilsongt]

Oh fuck you too Chuck Todd.

 

[Hazmat]

Trump making an ass of himself in the after-show too.

Sometimes you just have to give someone enough rope.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

So.

I'm calling a tie on that.

Trump was more charismatic and played the part of the strong man extremely well.

Was also unhinged and made no sense but that doesn't matter all that much.

Hillary was better on all policy pretty much but was much less charismatic. Also let him talk a lot. Stayed smiling and tried to play the high card, linking Michelle.

Was lame. Less than expected.

End of story.
