I love how the Media wants to tell me how to think. Who won the debate? Well I'm not sure, let's see what ______ << news channel tells me.

I only saw the last half of the debate actually. What I personally found sad was how much the two got personal.

Why not focus on the issues, your plan, and why it will work/why their plan won't work? Isn't that the benchmark of an adult conversation, let alone a job interview.

Why wouldn't we expect it from people applying for supposedly the most important position in America.

The whole thing really disgusts me to the core. Trump did the most of the generalized insults.

All of this or all of that is her fault? Come on man American's aren't that stupid.

They talk to us like we're dumb. This isn't a WWF competition. Yet this is the best we could come up with.

I'm voting for Trump not for the Man, but based on many of the conservative ideologies which I believe define this nation's roots and supreme court justice.

The bottom line is 20 Trillion dollars in debt with America currently sitting high on a service-based, consumer-based economy living off the strength of our Fiat currency. We have resources in America which is a source for wealth. Our priority shouldn't be building another bathroom so transgendered people don't feel offended and discriminated against.

We have land where I have 2 friends personally that are set up as successful organic farmers through ambition. They're doing what they love and are supporting a family, a concept this nation has forgotten about which is essential for our survival.

Why buy produce at Walmart with foodstamps when you can buy Organic, homegrown food at a farmer's market with your own successful company. << THIS is what America is all about.

Not waiting in line at Walmart to use the automatic checkout.

You see it as spineless, the rest of us see it as them having a conscience and integrity. Like the one Governor said , he has daughters and how could he look them in the eye and say he approved of statements like Trump made ? Some of us will still do the right thing, even if it has risks and consequences.

I have not always been quiet about my feelings regarding Republicans, but I certainly respect those (many) men and women who stood up and said enough is enough. Everything has a breaking point and , for many, that was the one.

How many American Voters are really "Undecided" voters ? How many will make up their mind only after seeing the performance of the candidates in the debate ?
Barring the elite or political bigwigs, I dont think that there are many people who will change their stance. They have already made up their mind. Mr Trump is going to win.

The most troubling part about Trump is that so many people are buying into his nonsense.

For example, despite bragging that he knows more about ISIS than the generals and he has a secret plan to get rid of ISIS, last night he displayed a discouraging lack of basic information.

It's almost unbelievable that someone who has been getting regular security briefings and is running for president would not know what Aleppo is about or that Mosul wasn't in Syria.

Presidents have used the IRS for many decades to get revenge on their political opponents.

Hillary is probably well aware of what else will be exposed on the "Trump Dump". Why engage in a pointless TV fight? The media will report extensively on them as they come out. Trump certainly didn't win, Hillary simply gave him a length of rope.

Yes, I always feel attacked when I'm forced to follow directions and answer questions.

What Trump threatened Hillary with has never been seen in US politics. Not even close.
