Sorry, Bob. Clinton Won The Debate

I don’t think Donald Trump lost any votes tonight, I’m not sure Hillary Clinton gained any votes tonight,” the former “Face the Nation” moderator said on CBS News after the debate.

I do believe that the draw goes to the challenger in the sense that Trump did not go over the line. And the very fact he could go 90 minutes on the same stage ultimately elevates the challenger

by all past debate standards, Hillary Clinton won. Most of us around the table believe that. But you don't judge Donald Trump by those standards.

SEAN HANNITY: Hey welcome to this two hour edition of Hannity. We're live from Hofstra University. We're in Hempstead, New York. The first presidential debate is now in the books. A very good night for Donald Trump.

Which polls? Drudge and Brietbart? Maybe the "I'm LWS and I live in alternate reality" poll?

Those are couple of really conservative sources there.

I guess he didn't read the quote from the link he provided:

You can’t fact check leadership, and tonight Donald Trump showed himself a leader.

Whereas Hillary just couldn't connect.. you could tell she was really trying, but it's just not who she is.

He was the clear winner - his spontaneous nature combined with his very non-career politician way to speak to the people was nothing less than impressive.

It was a big blow to the Clinton campaign.

Trump Pulled Off "Presidential"

the first sentence:

Trump's strategy (if he has any) is so bad.

He could win it, if he could just stay focused on a few things and not be so annoying. But, part (or all) of his appeal to some of his supporters is that he is annoying. So, it's a fine line. Or a slippery slope. Or something like that.

“My microphone ― in the room they couldn’t hear me,” the GOP nominee told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” in a Tuesday phone interview. “You know it was going on and off which isn’t exactly great.”

“I wonder if it was set up that way,” he added. “It was terrible.”

Trump recalled having no problem with the microphone during the sound test an hour before the debate, which led him to believe something sinister might have been done in the interim.

“It was on and off and it was much lower than hers,” he said, referring to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
