Pretty much what I expected. No KO's by either one. Clinton needs to never smile again on television and Trump's non-orange look is a keeper.

Trump victory.

Smacked him on stamina.

Indeed, that was well delivered.

I love actually that she basically used Benghazi to her advantage there when she mentioned her 11 hour Benghazi hearing. :D

Nah, he just has to stick to character.

:yes:

The moderator did the best rile up when he kept saying he supported the Iraq war.

He started to edge towards it on a couple of occasions.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well I thought Clinton dominated.  But then again I can't understand how Trump ever got this far in the first place.

So watch the pundits call the debate for Clinton, and Trump gain three points in the polls.

Nah, man.  Trump's campaign will begin to implode tomorrow.

The pundits will call it a victory for Clinton. But the polls won't budge that much and then Trump will win. He did what he needed to do, act sane.

To be fair, I think the moderator sort of was? I mean I can't recall many moments where he tried to trip up Hillary except for with the emails. Trump got Iraq War and Birtherism.

Perhaps 'sanity' has a different definition in your country.
