So do I. Trump fighting with the moderators, looming over Clinton, and never answering questions will hurt him
Huh?
Conservatives jam the audience with deplorables who cheer. Liberals hand wring.
yup.
I'm actually seeing quite a few people talk about that on twitter, but nothing on CNN right now. Crazy, but not unexpected.

Clinton's wikileaks/e-mail response was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
She could've prepared that delivery a little better.
Otherwise, she did fine.

yup. Hillary demolished Trump, but oh nos release the oppo or else she'll only win by 7 instead of 10 lol
The images of Trump pacing, sneering, being contemptuous, arguing with the moderators, getting called out as a liar by the moderator and his disastrous response to the sexual assault question... just terrible.
This wasn't a close debate. Attacking over and over does not a good debater make.

Bad look? To who? No one cares about nobodies on twitter.
I think immediate reaction will give it to Trump, but once the dust settles... most people will recognize that Clinton didn't perform great, but she did much better than Trump because he was a disaster as usual.

Haha I was laughing my ass off at Clinton's wikileaks response. SO I was watching Lincoln and I saw some cool stuff....
But they are the best at calling each other the worst and bemoaning it constantly.

A few hours ago, everyone was all hopped up on hopium over the right wing meltdown, and one barely lukewarm debate later, the race is suddenly tightening again for some of you?

Hillary is in one the best positions ever and people here are freaking out.
This is true.
Because everything is a blistering loss unless you chop your opponents head off. Trump didn't change the trajectory. The tape and his comments about them still exist.
Clinton will campaign tomorrow and this week. More worse oppo is coming. Liberals bedwet over everything

B-b-but she didn't make Trump shit his pants on stage, and what about Brexit being a surprise vote where tons of conservatives decided on the day of the vote to show up and throw the victory to the side everyone thought was losing?
Yup. Hillary gives one shaky answer, and the only answer Trump can give that isn't terrible is literally the one where he praises Hillary for never giving up... it wasn't a beatdown, but it was still a completely lopsided loss that gives Trump nothing of what he needs to actually reverse his nigh-unwinnable situation. His base is energized? K. They're about the only people that are.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Didn't they correctly pick the first two debates?

That should be the headline for the entire debate. Who the fuck even says that?

Someone with Wolf Blitzer cutout in the background lol
Trump behaved like a child, whining about who got the bigger half of the cookie. He stalked all over the stage, including several points where he stood behind her which is a pretty obvious intimidation tactic. There were several points where he talked to the point that he almost seemed breathless, along with the incessant snorting, fidgeting and pacing. Constant interruptions. Again, child-like behavior.
Answers were all over the place. Leaping to Benghazi when asked about his Sex Tape tweet (which he also denied). Throwing Pence under the bus. The usual word jumble that will click with a lot of his base because it has short words spoken in an angry tone ("ASHAMED!" over and over again). "She has so much hate in her heart" seemed to be more of that transference he's known for. The whole pre-debate press conference and threatening to appoint a special prosecutor and throw her in jail right out of the gate set the tone for the whole evening; attack attack attack. Solid D-, he was all over the place both literally and figuratively.
High Point: At least having the wherewithal to not use the last question as an attack.
Low Point: "How stupid is our country?", tied with admitting to paying zero taxes to the nation.
---
Hillary kept cool despite the shitshow that started before the debate; she didn't argue over time, she went back to her chair when he spoke, and seemed fairly relaxed though a bit flustered at all of the interruptions. She even broken in a disbelieving smile a few times at what he was saying.
Answers were not as solid as the first debate. There were a few where she got bogged down in responding to Trump's verbal diarrhea and a couple times she didn't answer the question. She needed to be more direct in her answers, that would have cut down on her running over and speaking over the moderators and made her appear more collected compared to him. She had more flubs this time, but the questions were just such a mess and honestly, I dunno how she kept her concentration with him creeping on her. Not great, but not a train wreck. C, maybe C-. Not her best night but still miles better than he did.
High Point: When she got to talk about policy or ESPECIALLY her past work , she exuded pure confidence.
Low Point: Her Syria answer was awkward as hell, and she should have immediately given her answer on the e-mails and stopped and let Trump just chew up the time with his conspiratorial nonsense. The Lincoln bit was just... bad.
