I thought Hilary gave a really solid case for her own candidacy, but didn't own the debate in the way the first one went.
Yeah, I really can't see why Pence would walk at this stage. What would he have to gain from such an extreme and unprecedented move?
Come on, that's not cool to make fun of others like that.
ON topic - Drumpf won the debate, hands down!
He was a child.
He lied non-stop.
He avoided the questions.
He projected his faults onto her.
He etc. etc. etc.
He lost. And he (and all Republicans) only continue to terrify me as an LGBT american. As a human being period.

1)
2) What does it matter who I would vote for?
That just happened, literally, and yes saying you don't talk to your VP is absolutely ridiculous. No question.
So, you're voting for whom, exactly? It shouldn't be too difficult to answer.

Fucking awful.

Wait... WHAT?!?!?
This. Clinton did as well as one can do in the face of someone with no regards to the truth. As one of the mod pointed out, Trump kept refusing to talk about what he would do (because he knows he has no substance) and was just attacking Clinton non-stop instead.
I'm saddened by how easily people are fooled by constant aggressiveness.
And did you guys see his answer about the muslim question? Good lord, it was disgusting. Clinton's answer was great.
Yep he literally threatened her right on stage. He lost his cool with that and even threatend to put a committee together to go after her.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Trump threatened to jail a political opponent. How is that not alarming?

I hope the American people aren't stupid enough to believe that elected officials have the power to implement everything they want.
He can win post-debate polls and still lose the long game (which seems likely).
Trump did awful. Literally didn't answer any questions, zero policy talk, lied like there was no tomorrow.
Just "disaster" this "disaster" that, rambling on and on and complaining like a baby.
Clinton did much better, one or two hiccups, tried answer and to talk specifics but hard to get a lot in with an idiot trying to throw any shit he can against the wall.

He didn't win but he also didn't get decimated which will look good for him.
I don't think this debate will do much for any side.
I think Trump came out of this on top... For the first few minutes when the videotape was discussed he looked like a kid getting put in time out, but he really kept viciously attacking the rest of the time and Hillary did not do a good job of countering him. That deer in headlights moment where she was obviously stunned and didn't know how to even respond was embarrassing... I thought she was prepared for this shit. She was blatantly deflecting and avoiding answering a few questions, and a lot of her speech sounded like scripted campaign fluff.
It didn't help that Anderson Cooper was aggressively trying to rein Trump in right from the start; they really played into his narrative that the media is biased against him. Granted, most of what he was saying was bullshit, but regardless, Hillary did not look great up there tonight. Trump may have utterly failed to present much of any clear reason to support him, but he did go after Hillary as hard as he could have and I'm sure his base ate that shit up.

He survived. That may be a win for his campaign, but it doesn't mean he won the debate. If his campaign weren't already in crisis, this would've hurt. Since it is, it didn't really do any more damage.

I can't believe people call this shit a "debate". Nobody "won" cause it wasn't a fucking debate. Also, it's not Hillary's job to destroy Trump, he does it more effectively, so I'm not sure why people were expecting that. Clinton was handicapped cause she actually considered the Q being asked, while Trump didn't give a fuck about the Q and just lobbed random, hyper-sensationalized missiles everywhere.
I have no idea how that can't be the main takeaway. I feel like I've had a stroke, because the world isn't making sense.

All you are feeling is his unfaltering ego and confidence. He's still a moron and an asshole.

I think this is the problem. She could go all in, but policy is her strength and being a snarky shitslinger is Trump's, so she'd 1) be fighting him on his terms, and 2) just give ammo to the depressingly, inconceivably large percentage of the US and global population who actually believe these two people are equally terrible.
