How many crowd outbursts were there from each side? Where the outbursts evenly chastised by the moderator? |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Trump would do better if he didn't have so many sociopath followers ready to lie for him. He'd do better to let the facts speak for themselves. |

Trump appeals to some strong emotions - and emotions are where a lot of decisions are made. |

Trump is a smart guy, made billions, but he's an idiot. He had ample opportunities to fire back, but didn't. He was like a teenager explaining why he got home after curfew. For example, when talking about race issues, why didn't he blast away at creating jobs for the urban minority community, ask them to think about where democrat policies and interventions have destroyed their communities, etc. etc. for decades? Low skilled immigration brings down wages, no possible upward economic mobility in the urban poor areas, no point in getting an education if there are not jobs or no hope, sell drugs join gangs . Easy stuff Big Don!! I'm not saying I'm right in the above as an analysis, but he was given an open door to underscore his mantra, low hanging fruit (so to speak) but completely failed IMO. |

This. He was always a savant -- good at making money and not much else. It was never Trump who is the candidate in this election; it was always his money. His money won him every advance he has made. He "has a lot of money and he is really, really smart", and that captured enough support to send him off and running. His money put him on the map, and he's just been trailing around after it. Many people here in TNCR are better versed in these issues than Trump. How much national support would Rainman or Renauda get? Yet, I would vote for either of them instantly over Trump, based solely on their posts here. That writer last week (?) that Horace posted made one of the most salient points of the campaign when he pointed out the 'false equivalence' of Trump as a presidential candidate. Rainman is right on the money (so to speak): Hopefully the debate will -- not demonstrate, because Trump has already demonstrated it in many ways, but underline how absurdly unqualified he is for this vital position. It's time to leave the monkey house and re-enter the real world. Trump was up there tonight because Hillary is so bloody awful, and Hillary was up there because Donald Trump is preposterous. |

So to summarise, would it be fair to say that most conservatives seem to think Hillary did slightly better, and most liberals seem to think Hillary did a lot better? (I watched 30 seconds of it, and then went back to playing guitar.) |

I have no idea. I think the WSJ is wrong in their statement that there's a question about people wanting a change. Last poll I saw showed that (close to) 30% of the country is going in the wrong direction. I have no idea whether Trump is able to do that.

On Holt - this is what I saw too,. He was very quick to challenge Trump, but not Clinton.
And here we have the money shot. If that is what you want, vote Clinton. She never ONCE mentioned the enormous debt, only saying she would tax the wealthy. The wealthy combined do not have enough to pay for her programs.

I could see that coming from comedians/entertainers (Colbert and Noah made that joke), but not from a politician of respectable stature. This should have been below Howard Dean. |
