Who cares if someone does some drugs, that's not even on the same plane as bragging about assaulting women. And no, it isn't two different things, the words (which portray his actions) show his mentality and mindset, in addition to his actions..
Comparing that to someone that smoked weed or whatever, that by the way, ISN'T RUNNING FOR OFFICE, is beyond ridiculous.
If it was good for slick Billy C , why can't it be ok for old Donald?
What questions do people here actually think Trump was right about? He was totally wrong about the pre-existing condition question -- removing state boundaries has nothing to do with pre-existing conditions. He was wrong about climate change. He didn't even answer most questions.
You're absolutely right about pre-existing conditions. I got my health insurance license in 2002, but I soon became very emotional and frustrated because of the number of people who couldn't find affordable insurance. It's like telling someone, "Sorry, but your life isn't really as important as profits." Insurance companies already competed with each other before Obamacare. However, their first obligation is to their shareholders, not their policyholders. We shouldn't have a for-profit system when it comes to our health.

People think he won because he didn't have a complete meltdown. He not only acted like a bully and was on the attack for most of the 90 minutes, he didn't answer the questions.
His lack of knowledge on foreign policy is astonishing. I mean, when a journalist has to explain military strategy to a presidential candidate, you know there's a problem.

Did you see Bills face when Trump was talking about the women there that he said Bill had assaulted and she had attacked for them saying so? Precious. And she didn't deny it.
I find it interesting that Trump brought up upstate NY several times because in New York politics they are left behind. It's city, maybe Long Island and that's it. I think it was effective but it would be far more effective should he have mentioned names.
Trump had two shining moments of real statesmanship tonight. First, when he apologized on live TV for his "locker room talk" at the very beginning of the debate. (And it was a real apology, not a pseudo-apology as Hillary did when she said her use of a private server was a "mistake" and "she wouldn't do it again.) And second at the very end when both candidates were asked to name something about their opponent that they admired. Trump said he admired Hillary because she doesn't quit. The best Hillary could do was say she admired Trump's children. Hillary showed her pettiness by her inability to come up with a personal trait of Trump's that she admires.
I think mentioning the Ethiopian boy was effective by Hillary. It shows and plays to the narrative that kids are listening to Trump, even Clinton to an extent.

He gave little mini-stump speeches, but rarely addressed the question.
