Trump's camp is unhappy with the questions of the debate apparently, which is kinda code for "we lost the debate".

I didn't think it was like a decisive knock out or anything, but I think it was good night for Clinton. He started off strong, but she turned the tables on him.

The problem with Trump is does start to sound (well) stupid the more he talks, and he fell into the trap of talking a lot, aimlessly at times.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't keep going back to the same issues over and over. Talking about domestic terrorism and he turns the conversation to ISIS and blaming Obama and Clinton. He already brought it up twice before, even though Clinton already said how it was out of their hands.

Trump proved yet again that he is a narcissistic moron - all bluster and bravado with zero substance and a complete lack of understanding of even the most basic foreign policy issues. He kept attacking Obama and Hillary over the "disasterous decision" of pulling troops out of Iraq and even saying what date we would do so, completely ignorant of the fact that the troop withdraw (and the date it needed to happen by) was part of the Status of Forces Agreement that GEORGE EFFIN"G BUSH signed while he was President. Obama was simply honoring the SoFA, but apparently that fact (like most others) are lost on the loudmouth idiot Trump.



Anyone else noticing that Trump's "neck bulge" seems to be getting fatter? Maybe it's from the stress of campaigning but he might want to lay off the fast food.



I watched a little it of it, although I wasn't sure whether I was watching a serious debate or SNL. "We should have taken the oil then Isis would not have existed" "I don't know who it was, could have been Russia, could have been China, could have been a 400 pound guy in his bedroom" Not that Hillary was any better on cyber terrorism, basically let's spy on everyone. Quality reality tv.

Trump was definitely wrong about the first claim you mentioned. ISIS has been around for a lot longer than we have been aware of them. From what I've read, ISIS has been around since 1999.

don't like either candidate really, however it would be literally impossible to support or vote for a billionaire who intends to CUT taxes on the rich. Biggest problem with the US economy at this point is that the rich-poor gap is dividing more and more and more; i.e. the top 2% of people and corporations are just getting more and more power.

the fact that Donald is as rich as he is and seriously is suggesting taxing companies / the wealthiest LESS is absolutely absurd.

HIlary is far too PC for my taste, but at least some of her interests will help the 'little guy' in society.

Trump is after his own means.

I wish there were more candidates in the middle, its a shame



How do you even "take" a country's oil? Suck it up like a slurpee cup and drive off with it?

Pretty sure the locals would start to a revolution against a small military force that was sucking their prime natural resource and keeping it away from the country and that would've put US troops in extreme danger.



Hillary won. There is something to be said for staying cool remaining focused. After one of his rants she just said oh wow, laughed and proceed to answer the question he never answered himself. It was like he felt like he was in a shouting match and could ignore questions. He must never say that black people live in hell. What is actually wrong with him.

CNN is "laying it on thick" - Most of us in the US don t trust CNN - So I think their blatant partisanship may backfire on Clinton - we ll see

She seemed very status quo- He seemed very "real" - We ll see what the voters think- It is hard for me to believe aprox 1/3 of the voters are undecided - I t s not like one is a Moderate Republican and the other a Moderate Democrat- they are very very different

To be fair, most of us in the US don't trust any of these TV outlets, they are all biased. At the very least, they aren't FOX news bad.

LOL if you don't think Fox is as biased as any news channel.
