Apparently, there are a lot of online polls saying that Donald Trump won the debate. I don't get how anyone would think that when from my point of view, he didn't do well at all.

I have an idea how he leads some online polls.

it was explained in an article that Drudge linked the major polls to their front page so they could funnell their views to to skew the polls.   Its a scam.

I agree w you except CNN IS Fox news bad-    

Yep, CNN and MSNBC are more left wing than Fox News is right wing in my opinion. Fox News actually gives time to different views.

But you'd actually have to watch them to come to that conclusion, something few actually do.

True-   The day Britt Hume left as head of the Fox news dept, they went down hill IMO 

I m ok with any network doing editoriql type programing but the delivery of the actual news should be as unbiased as humanly possible-  the least biased news people/organizations should be considered and treated as the best news people/organizatons -  "to whom  much is given much is expected"



it mostly seems to be a pro Hillary/anti Trump echo chamber in here (VG chartz forum) - but so far the polls are in favor of Trump - I hope they continue - Hillary did not show any passion and as self serving as she has been while in DC, it is hard to believe her stated intentions due mostly to her track record and having watched her since her "I m no stand by your man woman" days on 60 Minutes- I guess that was another untruth- she has "stood by her man" for sure- she would not have made it this far in politics if she had not

There are 2 more debates - many the moderator(s) will be less biased and the venue will spell "Hillary" correctly!

Did either discuss their plans for the looming physicians shortage in the US? Every once in a while there is an article somewhere backed up with studied discussing how the USA don't have enough doctors.

That is okay we don't need doctors once Obama finally implements the long awaited death panels or we could turn hospitals into a Redbox kiosk.  Go up to a screen click on symptom such as pain, insert money, and big pharma drugs come out of the machine.  No doctor needed.

So they didn't discuss it

Seriously though, all this talk about insurace and obamacare when there aren't enough physicians, how.

Did you read the criteria for the CNN poll of 500 likley voters?  (mostly democratic voters, favored Hillary by 26 points BEFORE the debate started)- why even do a poll like that - at the end of the day the only polls that really count are how people will vote

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.

People forget at this time that Obama was getting a lot of flak about the troops remaining in Iraq.  He actually pushed for our troops to remain but the Iraqi leader said no dice.  Interesting enough, Trump is shone on TV as stating we should pull out our troops.  Always the problem with Trump is that he never can keep up what he says from one moment to the next.  So he was in favor of going in, then he was in favor of us leaving once we did the job and of course he is not trying to pin everything on the existing administration even if he was in line with everything until the moment he decided to run for office.



My take on the debate is that Trump let Hillary control pretty much how the debate would run. He came out strong but then faded quickly from there on letting every little barb make him ramble off. Easy questions he could have answered he ran on and on and he was pretty much on the defensive.

Its very obvious that Hillary did take time to prepare for the debate, she was ready for the Trump we saw last night or you can say she made sure that the Trump we saw last knight was the one she wanted on stage. Neither Hillary or Trump was going to lose any of their voters based on this debate but the people on the fence that is something totally different.

I believe if Trump comes out in the next debate and try the Bill Clinton scandal route he will be setting himself up to look stupid. Just his infidelity alone should make his team shy away from that topic.

Iraq would of allowed our troops to stay but they wanted to get rid of the protection that US troops had.  US troops couldn't be tried in Iraqi court for war crimes and they wanted that lifted.  Bush wanted that stipulation kept and when Iraq wouldn't he was pretty much forced to come up with the withdrawl policy. 



Online polls are a joke. Idk why news outlets report on them. Reddit and 4chan just screw all of them. Like the one's last night about the debate.

Trump did way better than I expected him to the first 20-30 minutes. After that it was the Hillary Clinton show featuring Donald Denying Trump. Hillary or the moderator would state a public quote he made and he would constantly intrerrupt with "no i never said that. not true" etc. It was embarrassing. It was counted that he interrupted Clinton and the moderator around 60 times.
Clinton simply looked poised and prepared for anything. Her main goal was to clearly upset Trump and make him look dumb. Which she did well. Trump looked so lost and flustered in the final 25min of the debate. It was hard to watch him fail that hard.

have to respect both sides really.  There was no way the US would let Iraq try US soilders and Iraq couldn't accept having soiders there that existed outside of their sovereignty.  A complete lose lose situation.
