By asking the "gotcha" questions Holt was trying to help by getting Trump to clear up these issues and repent but Trump blew it. Trying to wing a presidential debate is stupid.

You can't quote anything because you were dissociating. It commonly happens during panic attacks.
WT Huh?
PP is suggesting that you (or first pp) is such a fervent Trump supporter that you couldn't handle watching Donald flop sweat all over the place, so you began to panic and quit listening.

Unfair to Trump because he pre-selected three questions (taxes, comments about women, housing discrimination) that were Trump scandals, but did not pose one such question to Hillary (emails, Benghazi, other various scandals).
Discuss.
His career is going nowhere after this epic failure.
Yeah, like it ruined Megyn Kelly after her epic failure. Oh wait...

I disagree. Of course, supporters almost never change their mind. But, undecideds and leaners can and do. Moreover, frequently what is important is not the debate itself, but the day after when the conventional wisdom solidifies.
Trump is clearly on the back foot today. All the attention is on Trump: about Rosie O'Donnell and "Miss Piggy"; about whether he paid no taxes; about his original support for the Iraq War; or, like this thread, excuses for Trump's performance (defective mic, biased moderator). He is threatening to bring up Bill's indiscretions next time and has adulterer Rudy Guliani out talking about Bill today. Trump surrogates have even suggested that he skip future debates. Trump has given Clinton plenty of ammo for future commercials. So, while you may not be aware of a quotable exchange at the moment, wait until you have seen a couple for the 100th time in Clinton ads.
I personally think she had a good line with "Trumped up trickle down".
I liked when she said "I did prepare. I prepared for the presidency, too. And I think that's a good thing". Great contrast to the guy who didn't practice for the biggest night of his professional life.

Why is it when people are poor or sick or have bad circumstances, republicans say that life isn't fair and those people should take personal responsibility and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but the world should be absolutely fair to Trump? Get over yourselves.
And I am sick of people like yourself who are clearly in the tank for HRC calling us names when we point out an obvious bias which we all knew would happen. Poor morale choices seem to follow HRC and loyalists around like glue. Happy?

We're not talking about the WORLD being fair to Trump. We are saying that a moderator should approach a modicum of objectivity, rather than lob one gotcha question after another to one candidate, and steering clear of questions addressing any the multitude of scandals of the other.
You realize the moderator is a registered republican, right?
Trump isn't a Republican.

holy crap. You crazies with your "gotcha" question complaints.
Because any of this was stuff that his team couldn't have foreseen? I mean, he couldn't answer any questions. At all.
But I guess I shouldn't be surprised when you complained that that pesky Katie couric asked princess Sarah about newspapers. I know, hardest question EVER....

LOL! Nailed it!Anonymous wrote:All this whining! Seriously, isn't Trump supposed to be strong and decisive? Master of the deal? If he is unmanned by a frail old lady and a nerdy newscaster, maybe he's not the powerful leader he's been selling himself as.
And another thing...enough with the threats about Lewinsky. Trump is carrying TONS of cheating, promiscuous baggage.
