So what everyone expected then? Cool
Really the only thing that surprised me is that Trump didn't nickname Clinton to death. Was expecting a repeat of Little Marco, Lyin Ted, etc.

I'm just glad we set the record straight on Rosie O'Donnell

It'll come. Doing it now will mean it loses its effectiveness and become old hat by the other debates.

Have corporate tax cuts actually been shown to generate more jobs?
The point is, Donald's rhetoric on trade deals (because I don't think he would actually implement any changes that stray from the GOP line) is better than Hillary's.
and The Iraq?
Some people like to grade on a curve. Clinton did ok but Trump didn't whip his dick out on stage so he did really good this time.
This was the moment for me where I decided I disliked her as much as I think Trump is a buffoon. It was a real 'ruling class superiority' moment and it wasn't flattering. Trump was actually worse than I expected, that personal business/debt issue is going to keep on harpooning him.
I want to know if she was actually writing things on that pad or just doodling for effect.

He just cannot get over Rosie making fun of his dead cat, can he?

Pence vs. Kaine for the IC belt is gonna be a snoozer but I look forward to Kaine driving up his Dad brand stock value.
I think he makes at least two Dad jokes.

Can somebody tell me what the hell trump is saying/doing here? Is he just making animal noises at this point?
The delivery on the line wasn't great - as though she wavered for a second on if she should say it. But Trickle-Down Economics has been pretty-comprehensively destroyed as an economic policy, so as a statement - "trumped-up trickle-down economics" - it's actually quite accurate.

I liked the part where he talked about Qatar's airports being so much better than ours.
I, too, wish this country had modern facilities built by slave labor.

How did I not even notice that.
What is he doing? I think he's saying "wrong" but it's so weird.
I... THINK he's saying "wrong"?
Was listening to this while working and had to go back to watch what the fuck happened there. This man is so weird...

That would be a one way ticket to screw himself even more though. He was probably advised, repeatedly, to not do it at these events.

Every objective measure we have so far says Clinton won.
Trump didn't even clear the extremely low bar almost everyone had set for him.
Nah, with all the noise of Trump 'being unconventional', most indications are actually showing a very predictable race so far. It has been remarkably stable and the numbers bear this out. Things are all mostly falling into their respective places considering both actors and other factors in this election cycle.
The moment you realize you're the next president
Now that you've said that I think I can hear it. He says it real weird though. Wwwrrrrong.
About an hour in, this is no fun at all.
Trump: we're losing jobs and businesses out the wazoo and you've been a part of it for 30 years!
Clinton: *Smiling serenely while queuing up stock political response on how she's gonna do better this time*
Trump: thousands of people shot in Chicago alone!
Clinton: Turn that frown upside down, it's not so bad. Also, we should have a discussion.
Clinton: Where are your tax returns?
Trump: *throws smoke bomb*
Clinton: You're obviously a racist and a giant asshole besides.
Trump: Yea, but I settled it so I didn't have to admit any guilt. Also, Obama is gonna thank me any day now for that birther thing.
Lester Holt: Let's talk about hacking!

Is there a good concise source for this? Need to post on a Facebook argument, unfortunately

Says who?
A couple of links, quickly found.
Trickle-down Economics Revisited explains it fairly quickly.
The 'trickle down theory' is dead wrong

I'm...not entirely clear on how a contempt for trickle-down economics constitutes a "ruling class superiority" moment.
It was a clumsy line, but come on.
Were you not paying attention? She wasn't smiling and saying "we're going to be better this time!" She outlined a pretty progressive and clear path towards job creation by embracing new industry. She even gave specific examples. If all you parsed from that was "we're going to try better" then that just tells me you have absolutely no opinion on future markets.

Preliminary scientific polls. The best objective polling we got so far.
remaining silent while he talked about race and police.
or remaining silent while he talked about nukes

It's hard to name just one hit, it really is. Her "11 hour" quip about the stamina was pretty great.
We got polls on the people in the middle already. Landslides for Clinton. They clearly saw a different debate than you did, lol.

Ha, true. You could tell she kept asking herself "should I stop this?"

Trumps federal taxes. You'll be hearing about that until November and probably a little bit after.
Well, it's from Clinton News Network so go figure. Also, what has science ever done for us. All the internet polls, where the real people vote, have Trump winning over Clinton.

It's even funnier when you read it in Hawking's Futurama voice
He didn't start strong at all. He just started less crazy then usual.
I like that one because when the transcripts of his Trump University disposition, he was questioned as to who he knew, he started whining passive aggressively after what couldn't be more than 5-10 minutes of interrogation?
Are you seriously using 4chan as a barometer

"I have a winning temperament, I know how to win, she doesn't!"
That's probably my favourite Trump line, although the my 10 year old son has computers and he's so good, was pretty neat too.
Anybody made a remake of the Depeche Mode song "wrong" with Trumps voice yet? Could be good.

They are both so bad.
The whole debate is like 2 kids arguing, neither of them seems fit to lead a country.

Yeah, thinking back, this is probably her best attack of the night. She actually got him to basically admit he doesn't pay taxes because he uses loopholes for the rich. That's pretty infuriating.

Did we see the same debate? Hillary's answers were rather well put together, especially against the NPR fact checkers
Guys the point of that trumped up line wasn't to be clever, it was solely to fuck with trump. Watch his reaction to the use of his name, his brand. Watch the whole debate again from the beginning. I've been pissing myself with worry for a week on this debate, and after the first question, I took a breath and realised she was in it. She is psychologically fucking with him just with her word usage. When she gets to his 14 million dollar loan, he's primed to meltdown. I felt like I was watching a teenage Mike Tyson fight, but he was allowed to beat on his opponent for more than a minute.
Get your eyes checked. Immediately.
His business record is shite, better off running as a politician.
