Trump didn't do well..
At all.

It was almost two years before he expressed any concerns about the war...

"The man who invented the telescope found out more about heaven than the closed eyes of prayer ever discovered." - Robert G. Ingersoll
Some pretty nice body shots landed by both. Trump knocked her off her attacks with counters and interjected them in a timely fashion.
I don't think there was a clear winner.

I made the mistake of deciding to take a sip of Scotch every time Hillary started a sentence with "I have a plan for that..." and now I'm not sure if I can go to work tomorrow.
Hillary has created more plans than Christopher Wren, but has never actually acted on one.

I've just watched the BBC's relaying of the debate over here in the UK.
Trump made essentially the same point about a vacuum being left in Iraq that I have, time and again.
Obama withdrew troops from Iraq (.. AND he advertised his intentions, years in advance !). Withdrawing them left a vacuum which ISIS filled.
Trump made the thoroughly meritorious point that ISIS has the presence and the power it does in Iraq today because of the bad withdrawal decision made years earlier. And from what I heard from Clinton, she had no good answer to give in response to that.
Trump did well in that part of the debate (and in others). He can gain satisfaction from his performance tonight.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
Sometimes I think I am the only one seeing certain things. But then I ran across this:
http://heatst.com/politics/lester-ho...third-debater/At tonight’s debate, Donald Trump faced off not just against Hillary Clinton, but against moderator Lester Holt.
The game of two-on-one saw Holt ask no questions about:
- Hillary’s emails
- Benghazi
- The Clinton Foundation
While ignoring these issues, Holt grilled Trump on stop-and-frisk, the birther story, his comments about women, his many bankruptcies, why he hasn’t released his tax returns — and a host of other issues the media sees as unfriendly to the Republican candidate.
Holt also repeatedly attempted to “fact check” on some of Trump’s positions, such as his claim to have opposed the Iraq War from the beginning. Holt interrupted Trump several times to interject, but rarely succeeded (and may have come across as weak and impotent).
And more, here.
True to my word, I really didn't "watch" the debate last night. I watched football and switched over at times. I watched highlights and read a ton before bed last night. Now I've been up since 3:30am reading a ton more. I have to wonder what was asked about my interests, and it doesn't seem like much of it.
I saw that Trump mentioned he would release tax crap if Hillary released 30,000+ emails that she deleted. I saw that he briefly mentioned something about her health.
Anything else?
VERY weak debate from what I saw, and from what I'm reading. No major fuckups from Trump, but nothing to write home about either. Same for Clinton. Glad I didn't watch!! Will have to wait and see if the polls see any difference from it at all.
