I guess he has outlived his usefulness. Was he even invited to the debate by the campaign?

Was the Benghazi Mom, Mrs. Smith invited? Or has she lived her usefulness?

Yes one Benghazi gold star mom and one survivor were invited to the debate. Trump is not using them. He is giving them voices that the MSM won't give them. Two gold star families have sued Hillary. You hardly hear anything from the media.

lol!

It's an upside down world when being prepared for the test is a point against you.
Oh my...My nerdy self is hurting

I think that PP is the pro-Russian poster.

Is that sort of like the so-called trick that people who listened to the Nixon-Kennedy debates thought Nixon won but those who watched it thought Kennedy won?

Do you think split screen technology is new?

God, I really fear for our country.

And, Lester Holt is a republican. Yes, he is on your side. But go on and keep spouting.

That is highly insulting to my 7yo

But your 7 year old might also have a computer and be really good on it. Because then you could be qualified for President!

If he was going to use the argument that she had been preparing for the past two weeks prior to the debate, he should have followed with saying that is the reason she is so scripted and nothing she says represents her real views, etc and that he, OTOH, does not prep and so what he says is what he believes as opposed to contrived answers from advisers.

True, but at some point he would still have had to at least give the impression of having solid plans instead of just speaking in generalities. He might have gotten here by just winging it, but you can't just wing a presidential debate. You have to say something substantive and that isn't his strong suit.

This time a million.

The guys is a two-faced self-promoter who happened to be born to a rich dad. If he had been born in Alabama with nothing, he would be pumping gas and sporting his Roll Tide shirt.

There are so manny nuggets of funny answer Trump gave during the debate. What caught my attention was the question related to cyber security. Couple of weeks ago, I had posted Trump's downhill meeting with General Flynn and I had thought his response was funny. Then in the debate it was even crazier. There is a pretty good analysis of his answer: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/201...ut-of-his-depth-in-the-debate/

This is the answer I would pick out, coming after moderator Lester Holt asked Hillary Clinton how to defend against cyber attacks. Clinton responded that it was a serious threat, as evidenced by the Russian hacks of American institutions including the Democratic National Committee.

Then it was Trump's turn. Take this in your hands. Look at it.

As far as the cyber, I agree to parts of what Secretary Clinton said. We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC. She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't — maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?

You don't know who broke in to DNC.

But what did we learn with DNC? We learned that Bernie Sanders was taken advantage of by your people, by Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Look what happened to her. But Bernie Sanders was taken advantage of. That's what we learned.

Now, whether that was Russia, whether that was China, whether it was another country, we don't know, because the truth is, under President Obama we've lost control of things that we used to have control over.

We came in with the Internet, we came up with the Internet, and I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what [the Islamic State] is doing with the Internet, they're beating us at our own game. ISIS.

So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is — it is a huge problem. I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly doable.

But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them.

I do not know what to say...when do not study the text book or notes and sit through a 3 hours long essay question/answer session, I guess.

How do you know on what side I am? Bush is a republican too, but he is as corrupted as Clintons.

I know. I'm picturing their respective approaches to meeting with world leaders on important issues. It's painful.

The $14 million was a lie. It was $1 million - still big bucks - but she lied about the amount and had to attack him personally, right out of the gate.

I don't know if 1 mil or 14 mil but lots of business get loans. I actually done begrudge T on that.

Yeah, most don't get them from their rich daddies.

The debate went down exactly like the Trump writer on "Art of the Deal" said it would. He said that Trump has no attention span and no appetite for details and policy. He looked OK for the first minutes of the debate, and then unwound. His responses time after time were just word salads with no point or meaning. And he can't not take the bait. Even when he's wrong, he keeps arguing over and over that he's right.

He's an asshole bully, which he perfectly demonstrated with his "threat" of saying very bad things about the Clinton family at the end.

Clinton played it beautifully, and just let him come unglued. I know he wants to threaten Hillary again, but that will be harder in a Town Hall, I think, when you have the average voter asking questions.

Possibly the first time I have EVER heard Hillary Clinton described as "smooth." Oh that slick Hillary! She's "discusting!"
