Nothing else to say. He dominated, slipped in a lot of amygdala hijacks, turned Hillary into the angry ex-wife, made himself the leader, and beat her on the issues.
News, Politics, and Continual Debate Over Who is the Greatest Leader of all Time, and Why is it President Donald J. Trump?
I”m 100% on the Trump train but I don’t know if he won tonight. Clinton was a pit bull tonight and threw out attack after attack. I know how she’s lying but does anyone else that follows political blogs?
I don’t think Mike Wallace was any better than the other moderators. I wish he’d shut up and let them speak.
To me she looked bitter and robotic, and her answers were simply memorized. Trump seemed to crush her on Presidential manner, and her ineffectiveness.

Personally I was hoping for something more like the second debate. That one was awesome. But I suppose Trump was playing it strategically, maybe doing it this way is a smarter move. I do like how he didn’t cave to the question about rigged elections. Keeping us in suspense… 🙂
Good luck America, I’m confident the better candidate will prevail.
I haven’t watched the parts where he dominated, but that, ‘no, /you’re/ the puppet! You’re the puppet!/ was cringeworthy and un-presidential. I hope by listening to something other than NPR I’ll hear his good bits 🙂
That is one reason I am sure Trump understands amygdala. What he was doing was interrupting Hillary’s attempt to execute a technical process, namely the recitation of a prepared reply. That is tough in front of a crowd, to organize your thoughts, and get them out in a strong voice, in a way that convinces others. All throughout the debate, as she tried to do that, he would interrupt her, breaking her chain of thought, and thwarting her.
In the short term, maybe some people thought it was rude, but it triggered Hillary, threw her off her game, and at the end of the debate, she looked more like an angry and bitter ex-wife, than a leader of men. The gains, in imagry, were far more than the small cost of interrupting her to rebut some bitter accusation she made.
