I'm currently a half hour in and frankly I'm miffed at the folks who thought Trump was "more reserved" this debate.
He's completely unhinged. No wonder the polls are saying what they do.
She's wiping the floor with him, plain and simple.

The pledge, however, stuck with many as a particularly terrifying statement.

So @realDonaldTrump will ORDER his AG to take certain actions-When Nixon tried that his AG courageously resigned. Trump is dangerous/unfit

AG Holder should know..
Even Andrea Mitchell is not going for that(@link) and many others..
Isn't that what putin does? Put his political opponents in prison?

Much less even attempt to answer a question.

(595 posts)Hilary answered questions, her remarks to him were mild and she stayed on point. Trump was flailing all over the place , whining about the time, unfair questions, etc. I think she did even better than the first debate!
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,182 posts)Best line of the debate so far, in response to whether Trump had the discipline to be President.
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,182 posts)She won.
No doubt about it. She won.

(15,262 posts)He's quite the troll, bait him a few times and he really gets wound up.
The most noteworthy moment is when he promises to commit an impeachable offense. We've got him confessing on camera that he would jail a political opponent. Note the list of charges he had. Should we call him deranged or just completely out of his element? Does he plan to learn as he goes, basics like there are things you can't do as President or Senator.
The other revealing of his ignorance of government exchange is his word salad raging about Hillary as senator. She failed to run the whole government like her personal kingdom, righting every wrong, and managed instead to destroy planets and all of life or who knows, hurt all around, things, bad Hillary, bad. Someone had fed him a bunch of anti-Hillary lines, but he's not good at spewing them out.
If you get your news from inside the Breitbart echo chamber,you think trump won. Everyone else is wondering what the hell he was saying

(20,851 posts)With a positive response. A normal townhall is...thank you insert name... what a good question...smile...mive up to them. Talk directly to them and project a sense of caring. Trump never does this. It is sort of mind blowing. He never once refers to the questioner by name. This stuff is townhall 101 basics.
I predicted that he was not going to engage with the voters in the town hall. He thinks he is better than they are.

She is indeed mopping the floor with him, IMO. And she is staying classy as she does so.
