The town hall format is the type of debate that Hillary excels at. I don't like her but I think she won the debate but Trump did hit her on some good points such as her record of talking ALOT but not actually getting much done.


When you think about how far Trump has come against career politicians it really is a wonder he is still standing.
Debating is what these politicians do best whereas Trump has been the boss for decades and his is the final say.

He now faces the toughest competition of his life in Hillary within an arena that he is not accustomed to.
What we are seeing is really a modern day David and Goliath battle.

When asked what the candidates admired about each other she said his children (it is all about the children don't we know) and he said her fight and never give up attitude.

He was much more gracious in his complements than she was but considering the whole debate, I think she won.

Did it change my views and vote NO.

As far as Warren goes, I like very much that her watch dog group stopped wells fargo in its tracks. What do you think of that? Good, bad?
Again, you keep mixing up the words contribute and raise. Look them up in the dictionary. Maybe that will help.

Exactly, this was basically my thoughts.

My answer is that neither Trump nor Clinton actually engaged with the audience member whose question they were answering. They each clearly came in loaded for bear, and used the questions they were asked as excuses to unload on each other.

That's what I expected from Trump, but Clinton has it in her to do better, and she didn't.
I noticed that also. It may have had to do with his pacing all the time in her space.

If my house is under attack, I just care about cops showing up & doing their job. I dont focus on their good manners, language or how they dress. Maybe I would if I was not taking the threat of the breakin seriously. The cops can be on their best behavior but they dont get points for inviting the burglars into my home & helping them steal my stuff. My priority is national security, economy so I will elect an offensive jerk who can get the job done rather than a well mannered lady who is openly saying we need to add more burden to our crashing economy & ignore security threats.

Anyone who cites and gets excited over online polls deserves every single name that Trump supporters are called. No adult can really be that gullible.

That is the high standard you claim. Its laughable.
A corrupt status quo candidate with a history of corruption exposed as a liar trying to avoid prosecution.
Getting cover from government by corrupting them all to maintain Obama's legacy. That is what's driving us to be a banana republic.

Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton laughed at child rape victim Kathy Shelton. That's not quite right | The Independent


Kathy Shelton Rape Case: 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know | Heavy.com
You should read the recent tweets by Kathy Shelton. Why should she feel so victimized by Hilary if Hilary was only making light of the errors of the case? She said Hilary shamed her during the case and tried to make it look like she deserved to be raped. Only a cold hearted devil of a woman would do that to another woman. Disgusting!!

Have you seen some of the stuff that Trump supporters post? They are absolutely that gullible.
