The problem with Hillary last night besides looking too rehearsed, scripted and robotic is that everyone, especially the media thought she would mop the floor with Trump and she didn't do that. Trump did quite well overall. Neither of them will have their poll numbers shift much if any at all after last night.

And? Watch the debate between Obama and Romney. They did the exact same thing as well. That's simply the product of good debate prep is all.

Nobody thinks that but his most ardent supporters. Even the GOP admits he got smoked.

No, those debates were much more off the cuff and both Romney and Obama had a few bloopers from them. They were not nearly as scripted as Clinton was last night.

She very much looked artificial last night. Botox was very likely used along with excessive makeup. But did you notice her yellow and discolored teeth?

Can you show me anything from the GOP that says he got "smoked". Wishful thinking on your part isn't going to get Clinton elected.

What is Giuliani's agenda? He seems senile to me.

Trump shouldn't be talking about anyone's flip flop. Remember when he was 'totally pro choice" when asked about partial birth abortion? Remember when he thought Hillary was a GREAT Secretary of State? Remember when he was pro-gay marriage?

Get real.

I don't know if this has been said in the previous 2,391 comments, but I can't say that I learned anything new from the debates last night. As much as I'd like to think that's because I'm so knowledgable, I think it has more to do with the debates being content light. It was really more of a painful-to-watch rehash of past rants from Trump and uninspiring, formulatic, calculated messages from Clinton. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

Had Gary Johnson been able to partipate, it may have been more meaningful. The fact that he wasn't invited, yet is a candidate in all 50 states plus DC was the biggest outrage to me. I don't agree entirely with him, but I definitely empathize with the fact he's gotten shafted by a "rigged" system, as Donald Trump himself calls it.

Lester Holt was so biased against Trump it was obvious (at least in his questions towards him as opposed to not asking Hillary any tough questions by comparison).

She did mop the floor with Trump. Trump did not do quite well. You guys are so delusional. He did nothing but scream, interrupt both Hillary and Lester constantly, ramble incoherent statements, avoided answering many of the questions actually posed to him, and lied like crazy. That is not doing well. You guys are so obsessed with him, that you are unwilling to remove your bias and see how horrible a person he truly is.
