I honestly don't see how someone could have watched that debate and thought Trump won. The vast majority of his answers were irrelevant attacks on Clinton that had nothing to do with the actual question.
Hillary started the debate by attacking him she has no plans so she attacks .

Since when was Bill Clinton running for office this cycle?
Point being, we've been there done that as a country. It's ok to be a womanizer, talk about it, smoke dope(err inhale), do coke(Obama had written in his first book, "Dreams From My Father" (1995), before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine ("maybe a little blow)
So who cares if Donald said he wanted to grab some a#%. Those other clowns have done far worse in actually going for it.

Do people who throw out the dictator accusation even know what happens in such countries? There are no rules, no non-partisan agencies, no lawyers, no rights--you're snatched in the middle of the night and that's the end of you. Obviously the audience knew it was said in a joking manner because they laughed. Can people no longer recognize a verbal barb to remind the audience of your opponent's weakness? Apparently not!

You got to love how CNN changed up what he said at the end of the Debate. They said he said that he was going to put her in Jail. That's not what he said. What he said was that she would "Be" in Jail if he was in charge, and if she was not given a pass because she is a Clinton, she would be in Jail, or in Court at the least, on her way. That's the "Media" for you. Anderson did not have much to say after Trump called him out on the e-mails. Smart man. AT one time, I thought the other Moderator was going to jump in for Hillary and take over. She lost her cool for a few seconds.


As to who won, we all have our own opinions, but you can bet Hillary and her Camp are not going to sleep well tonight, and will be circling their wagons in the morning for Damage Control. There is still another Debate, and this talking point has no steam left, so they need a new "Trump Straw." In the mean time, WikiLeaks has more to come, and the blaming it on the Russians Balloon has been deflated, and won't float.

So true.

I owned a bar at one point, and employed a dozen females at any given time. When they were sitting around after work, having a shift drink, I heard some amazingly dirty things. I never was offended by it, because it was just words.

There's nothing wrong with words. But there is something wrong with a president who penetrates a 22 year-old intern with a cigar when he was 52 years old.

Stay classy, Bubba Clinton!

Great point. I think the undecideds are either liars or too stupid to vote to begin with. There is no way anyone can really be trying to decide between these two.

If they are undecided, they are trying to decide whether to vote 3rd party or not at all.

Had to do that.

Given what people are learning about him, it is unlikely he will be bringing new folks into the fold, and he had to hold on to the faithful.

Trump is already way behind in polling with female voters and these two things are not going to win over any new women over to his side.
I know right, he's dead in the water. It won't be a 1988 landslide but more along the lines of 2008 IMHO.

(CNN)Donald Trump exceeded expectations, but Hillary Clinton won the second presidential debate, according to a CNN / ORC poll of debate watchers. The results showed a clear victory for Clinton, with 57% saying Clinton won, as opposed to 34% for Trump.
