I hate, hate, hate to say it, but he did well in that a)he fired up 2nd amendment people, b)brought in Bengazi and the emails, c)planted the seed that the media is for her, d)got wikilinks in there, too.
Now, I can sit here and know he lied, lied, lied. I know he answered maybe one question. But he put in every reminder why people don't like her. I'm glad she stayed above the fray, but it did some damage.
I agree that he did all those things, but I'm not sure it resonated with any voters that he needed to win.
He's locked in the crazy...but he needed to act sane to win back what he's lost over the weekend.

I think it may have rallied his base but you think it moved people FROM her TO him? Or from the fence to him? I do not - but of course I can't even fathom that.
I think it may get the Rs that were on the fence, or planning to not vote.
He's absolutely despicable. But he kept everything focused on her, putting her on the defense. The video was like a blip.
DID Y'ALL SEE THAT EPIC ZOOM IN ON CLINTON'S FACE?
i'll need a GIF
your assignemtn is to find one...
i'm doing my best to listen...i can barely watch
I set my DVR to record as soon as I saw it. It usually catches at least a few minutes before you start recording something live, so I'm hoping I caught it.
I'm off to bed, but I'll check tomorrow. And if so, figure out how to make a gif from it.
There were a few times Clinton made me cringe. She would do better if she stayed away from any topic that would alienate Republicans or Moderates who are looking for a new candidate to vote for. Just don't talk about abortion. I was tuning out by this point, but her comments about the justices were off putting. She didn't do well. I despise Trump, but I can see his supporters liking his performance.

I (sadly) agree. I'll add bringing up coal country again, and I think the supreme court justices question did that for him. Yes, Clinton needs people to come out for her just for the SC, but I think it helps people who are wavering on Trump more.
Disclaimer: I only saw the last 20 minutes or so due to kids, but I read 538 and much of this thread.

I don't like anything you are saying.
But I do not think you are wrong.
With the presser and mentioning the accusers Hillary had to pivot without being able to nail is coffin shut.

I disagree. If she didn't maintain strong stances on these things she would piss off her loyal base. These positions are not news to anyone.
My only hope from this shit show is that 4 years later we will have a real debate about issues. Please!!!!!
(Hillary is going to win, but having this dumpster fire as an opponent has put a permanent shit stain on this country. Trust I know there are issues with Hillary but DUMPSTER FIRE!!!)
Ok. There were too many people participating in this thread, lol. I need to go back and re-read for the comments I inevitably missed. So if you're getting likes after the fact, you know why.

Some undecideds I know have really (finally) been turned off over the events of the last few days. The debate hurt him in their minds, which I think it good.
I don't see how anyone can say he did well. He was rambling. Yes, he mentioned his usual talking points, but they weren't in response to appropriate questions. His foreign policy and healthcare answers were abysmal and/or incoherent. I do not think HRC did as well as she could have, but she ran circles around him and I think I'm being objective about this. He came in behind, fending off his pussy grabs, and he did nothing to even catch up. And that's just substance. Don't even get me started on style.

I am on page 37 on my iPad and liking comments as I go. Following along live with my phone. My concern now is I will accidentally unlike something that I liked in real time.
