I think people don't even realize how sexist comments are coming across when they say "she doesn't appear likable." Why?

In the next debate, Clinton should ask him the expand on his stupid one-liners that make no sense.

Like: "You've been fighting ISIS your whole adult life".

She should have replied with something like:

"But you said president Obama created ISIS so how is it possible?".
or even a simple:

"What does it even mean?".

This is what irks me the most about Trump. 90% of what he says don't have any substance or meaning, but he's rarely challenged.
The problem is that it's too easy for trump to just ignore the question and blabber about whatever he wants. Instead of cornering him in his own bullshit you just give him more free time.

Yep it's why Lester letting Trump just speak worked so well. He shifts so much that if you just let him talk in a subject without challenging he will hang himself.

Yep. As the old adage goes:

Give them enough rope to hang themselves with.

And Trump had plenty of rope last night.

Think it was Bret Hume on fox that said she wasn't "attractive." I know that word can have other connotations but I can't think of a time they described anything trump did as "unattractive"

That only works if people notice he's hanging himself. I think there's enough people watching that like what he says =
 
Trump is the most privileged person possible. He lowers the bar to the most destructive levels across standards across the board and we still must take him seriously because of his super privilege.

What a crazy world when you need the minorities in your country to not vote for Trump..... by that implication he would win if only white America was allowed to vote....

That should scare you far more than him winning

No matter who wins this election , think people in the USA will miss Obama. What we saw yesterday was no a debate but this :

#TrumpWon is trending on Twitter but at least 1/3 of those tweets seem ironic? Or maybe I can no longer identify irony in this climate.

Commonalities amongst people that say this:

Dog avatars
American flags
The Bible
References to communism, Obamunism, and the constitution.

Incredible. Even if Trump started smearing feces on himself you folks will say WELL HILLARY TOOK NOTES SO TRUMP WON.

Wait, which folks exactly?


I'm not sure how you mean me, unless by pointing out that Trump addressed the camera more -and that IS part of what humans look for in conversations - that I've somehow indicated a winner or looser?

I'm simply pointing out a fact, and that some 'folks' watched the debate and saw body language that then confirmed one of their biases.
 
Not all undecideds going on PolitiFact after the debate is over. They just say "I try to stay out of politics" and maybe watch the debates/see the highlights.

True, true. That's why I hope that any of the undecideds that saw the debate think that maybe, just maybe Trump is the best candidate. Especially after he was flopping all over the damn place like a freshly caught trout.

Someone I know on Twitter said she "acted childish by smiling so much" and "wasn't professional". So it's probably the sexist thing.

Did they like Trumps non existing poker face? Talk about unprofessional. The dude could not stop fidgeting and making face at everything Hillary said.

The debates are not a reality TV show where you ham it up for the camera for drama sake. Hillary's smiling face is her poker face. Donald doesn't have one. His face in a non ending string of emojis. How he can claim he has the temperament to be president is mind boggling.

I think the response to this is "both sides" and then you say something about Gary Johnson.

Tell them to stay salty. Hillary get every aspect of her appearance criticized but the same people won't even comment on Donald's sniffing fit and his outrageous facial expressions.
